Meet Sohail Justin Akhavein. He’s a hairy, tatted-up, 30-year-old from Minneapolis with a, ahem, playful Instagram account:
Like many of us, he has a thing for unicorns:
A while ago, his mom found a unicorn mirror at an estate sale. Knowing her son’s passion for the mythical horned beasts, she bought it for him.
After seeing the mirror, Sohail’s sister became jealous and wanted one for herself. So Mom decided to have another mirror commissioned for her daughter.
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.
She asked Sohail to text her some photos of mirror to give to the woodworker. When he didn’t respond fast enough, she took matters into her own hands… by going to his Instagram page and grabbing the photos from there.
“I was forced to use the only photos of the mirror I could find,” she texted him, “which were your gay smut photos.”
But it doesn’t stop there. After sending the pics to the carpenter, Mom got a response she wasn’t expecting.
“He asked if part of his payment can be the man in the photos,” she revealed. “The gays are everywhere!”
Sohail tells Buzzfeed he and his parents have a great, loving relationship he has with his parents and that he couldn’t ask for a better family.
“I’ve never taken their acceptance, warmth, love, and sass for granted,” he says, “because I am well aware of many members of our greater queer community may struggle to navigate their personal expression of queerness on a platform their parents may have access to, let alone possibly not having direct access to those four things listed above.”

Oh YUMMY. I am loving the fur. And is it just me, or is this guy channeling a little Freddie Mercury?
ChrisK
Yep. Especially with the Hawaiian shirt.

Weird, gross, old and sleazy. Def should not have an Insta account.

YOU are the major problem within the gay community.

He’s young, fit, sexy and playful.

@Danny595 – Mental, disrespectful, asinine and trolling. Def should not have access to the Internet.
Funny story, and kind of uplifting in regards to the power of a loving family. Very sexy guy, IMO. So much fur to get lost in… *ahem* If you’ll excuse me, I need to learn carpentry; making unicorn mirrors at the very least…

I agree All that body hair is disgusting. Sleeping with this guy would
be like having sex with a wolf. I usually go for guys with tattoos. In this
case the tattoos look like a blob of ink.

@Danny595 You’re ignorance is showing. Just because he’s not FOR YOU,, doesn’t mean he’s Weird, Gross, Old OR Sleazy. Go jump in a hole.
@Happiness17 You say having sex with a Wolf like it’s a bad thing….
GayEGO
Mmmmmm! Yummy!
yaletownman
Sexy guy.

I AM TRYING WAY TO HARD but that is Instagram new slogan

Come on guys. The only pics sent to the carpenter were those with the unicorn mirror. They certainly ain’t “smut” Getting fed up with Queerty’s provocative headlines that are distorted. Clean up your smutty act!
Brian
For once, you can’t blame Queerty for a misleading headline. The gay smut comment was made by this guy’s mother.

Very artistic.

Despite the raunchiness he seems to be obsessed with, he does take pretty good photos. At least he makes them somewhat artistic and interesting rather than the typical flex and ab photos we’ve all seen to the point they look the same.
yaletownman
Just checked out his Instagram. Not only does he have a very beautiful and interesting body but his photos are also interesting and artistic. I especially love the tension between the maculine and feminine in so many of his shots. He gives the viewer something besides narcissism which is refreshing in this day and age,
He’s definitely not another soulless gym bunny striving to be a bit better version of what came just five minutes before him.
happiness17
This guy might not be another soulless gym bunny. His body certainly isn’t
beautiful or interesting. All of that facial and body hair is a definite turn off.
Unless you’re looking to have a sex with a wolf.

Must be sad to be so insecure with your own aesthetic sensibilities that you find those of others so threatening.
Then again you might be so imprisoned and chained to the internet world that when people write something you suffer from delusions that they are actually speaking to you. They have meds for that you know.

Hirsute and erotic. Wild, stimulating. The mannish boy.

I want a unicorn mirror! It looks awesome!!
I love his legs and furry body!
DavidIntl
Well, to each his own, there’s someone for everyone, etc… but just in terms of my honest, visceral reaction – EWWW, mom buy this guy a shaver
Jaxton
What a great response from the tradesman and what a good mother with a great sense of humor!!!
Rex Huskey
The carpenter obviously works cheap!
Davidparacka
What a beautiful hairy sexybeast! Wonder if he likes fat guys???
SPEEDOSWIMMER
He may not be everyone’s type, and that’s OK. I love his personality and wonderful attitude, and sex-appeal………
*lick*

He’s sexy and kind of fun, but I think it’s weird that he continues to post sexy pictures knowing that his mom knows how to use Instagram. If my parents were tech savvy and interested in social media I would never be able to bring myself to post pics like his. Although, maybe I’d feel differently if I were sexy like he is. Maybe his family is ridiculously sex-positive.
