guy told him that when gay men act or walk or sound gayish, (whatever that means), they are doing it on purpose, they are purposely upping the affectations because they can now get away with it when in the past they couldnt.

I asked him if he and his buddy acted more masculine and tough around certain people and why is that any different.

Then I asked him what would he do if 95% of the public shamed him and attacked him when he acted like himself.

He didnt get it, yet.

Usually I would write a person like this off but he is worth saving.
