He looks like prestage Kovacs there.
And for him to be so anti-gay is ironic considering that when he lived in Atlanta, he would frequent Backstreets and rent himself out for muscle worship and escort scenes.
Ironic but not unusual. All these anti gay attitudes from men in thongs and their admirers reminds me of a little piece of gay history from more than thirty years ago.
On the night of June 22, 1977 just three days before San Francisco’s Gay Pride Parade, 33 year old Robert Hillsborough, and his boyfriend Jerry Taylor were attacked by four knife-wilding young men just outside of Hillsborough’s home in the city’s Mission district. In the midst of the attack the two victims made a run for it; although severely injured, Taylor managed to escape but two of the attackers, John Cordova and Mike Chavez cornered Hillsborough. Cordova fatally stabbed Robert fifteen times! The motivation for the attack: bigotry. It was a simple hate crime.
Cordova was later convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Following his release from prison, John Cordova would go on to have other, less serious, run-ins with the law: burglary, theft, larceny, etc. Imagine the community’s surprise when he was eventually arrested while dressed as a woman! That’s right: many years after his hate crime, Cordova came out and lived/lives as a transsexual!
