      hey idiot, actually he is not gay. plus whether he is gay or not, why would you care? like seriously, do you have to judge someone before you even get to really know the guy. I think you should get more of a brain or something, cause people like you should be ashamed of themselves. plus if he was gay, he would still get more girls then you.......
