The subject of sexuality remains a hot-button issue for many, especially in Hollywood. In the age of the unapologetic gay celebrity, there now seems to be a presumed sexual comfort that everyone on the LGBT spectrum must exude at all times. A perfect example of this gross understanding can be seen with actor Daniel Bellomy's recent interview with Flip the Script Podcast.
Recently, the Power actor visited the podcast to discuss his newfound fame and stardom. With his meme-worthy character portrayal and becoming a household name, everyone wants to know about the young actor and what may be next on his career path. A typical, albeit messy, interview question that is often asked is, "are you dating or seeing anyone?" however, host QueenzFlip rubbed many viewers the wrong way with his line of questioning,
Watching the video made me feel like I was back in middle school when a male family member would ask, "You have a girlfriend? "No? Why not? What's wrong with you?" As an out and proud member of the LGBT community even I have my moments of regression, so I relate with Bellomy all too well.
I'm sorry Bellomy had to experience this moment and public outing before he was ready. Since the clip emerged, the host has defended the segment arguing viewers are overreacting since Bellomy never felt disrespected. Despite Bellomy's verbal reassurance, the actor is visibly uncomfortable in the video. Thankfully, since the interview, Bellomy has been met with a wave of love and online support.
