Obviously, he’s gay. His logic’s too good. ---

I dunno if he’s in the closet or not, but the closet behind him is a mess. 😛 ---

Not even one 'dar ping. He’s not gay, he’s just an earnest young heterosexual which makes hm just that much hotter to those perfidious homos who want to give him the gay. Oddly, really oddly, he looks and sounds _just like_ my 19 year old son. They could be brothers. ---

One of the suggested [follow-ups](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVliyerlQHE&NR=1) is pretty good too. ---

His dependency on a biological founding for homosexuality is stronger than the science merits, which kills his argument to a fairly strong degree. While I’m fairly certain that at least some amount of homosexuality is linked to genetics, what evidence there is for this is still open enough that you could fairly easily say that maybe even a majority of everyone could be happily bisexual if it weren’t for social conditioning. ---

He definitely has teh hot, in addition to teh gay. But I wonder how many bigots would watch that . . . hearing only what they choose to hear . . . and think that their bigotry has been confirmed. ---

I have no time for the intolerant and think anyone who is openly anti-gay should be shot in the back of the head. ---
