Never one to stay silent, comedian Michael Henry released a new video critical of self-absorbed gay men inclined to draw attention away from the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Henry enlists his friends Kornbread and Kevin McDonald for the sketch, which finds Henry and Kornbread encountering Trevor, a shirtless, who “doesn’t go east of La Brea.” The pair decide to confront Trevor about his tone-deaf Instagram posts, and his recent trip to Florida.
“Leaving one state under quarantine to go to another state just so you can party seems pretty tacky,” Kornbread observes.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It riles me so much when gay people’s priorities don’t shift when the world is crumbling,” Henry injects. “Get out of your WeHo bubble!”
“It’s performative, it’s insulting, and it comes across as inauthentic,” Kornbread replies.
Henry goes on to admit that he doesn’t always know the right thing to say or do, and that while he does get attention from his videos, he at least is bringing attention to the cause. Kornbread also suggests Trevor stop posting shirtless pictures of himself with Black Lives Matter signage.
It’s good advice. Watch the video to find out what Trevor did with a candy cane…

At least he showed up. After that reaming, next time he might not bother. Great job.

Triggered much? And he queerly enjoys a good reaming.

@randomdude30: My point exactly. Nope, not triggered, because I don’t have to throw insults at somebody I disagree with, nor do I have to spend time tossing shade and disagreement at people who show up to things for what they did or did not wear, or the photos they chose to take. I’m appreciative that they took the time to support the cause.
Now, if you’d like to have a discussion, have at. If you’d prefer to toss two-word insults, please disperse back into the muck that bore you, because you bore me.
