This guy’s “pleasant” conversation & photo opp with an anti-gay bigot has social media up in arms
and rich LGBTQ+ ally once said, “Why are you mad / When you could be GLAAD?”It doesn’t matter where you go to celebrate Pride.
Unfortunately, there will always be protestors picketing our right to love who we love. What defines us more than their chants is how we react to them, but not everyone is on the same page….In fact, gay comedian Sampson McCormick’s alleged interaction with a protestor at a Pride event had a lot of people on Gay Twitter X saying, “That’s not it….”I was at a pride event, saw a protestor went up to him and asked “is this how you pick up guys?”We laughed, then had a very pleasant hour long conversation about our differences then hugged and took a photo.No point in being loud & angry over different beliefs & opinions. ?????

We appreciate McCormick’s sense of humor. But not only did the protestor show no signs of remorse or growth in thought, he got free promotion!ahh yes, so chill when someone has the “opinion” that all gay people are pedophiles who belong in hellYou know the craziest part?
