MEH -- not a publicity stunt on his part.

The NY Post chose to do a bit on it.

And honestly would any of us have heard about this -

This won't sell more tickets.

We were at a concert in October. People claimed to be real fans -- they follow this guy around.,
They left just before the end --- gotta beat tht traffic.

I don't get it.

I think that's probably a lot of it. And it was a 15 minute speech. Come on.

He blasted social media with it prior to the post article.

I can understand being annoyed by the right wingers posting garbage but I'd appreciate a little effort if you're going to try to rebut my point.

It's right there in the post article....he went crying about anti-gay meanies in a social media blitz and got the post to swoop in and then the chum attracted the right wingers blah blah blah.

For many of the alphabet people, their sexuality is the entire essence of their being from the minute they wake up until they go to sleep. It's an obsession that guides them through every aspect of their lives. They really feel you need to know this.

I agree. And you're not the only one to see it.

It's not unusual for artists to speak at their own show.
I think he should speak to his experience, especially in Utah. And the reactions from his audience are....typical of Utah.

Here's another way

A man says -- here's my husband David, we have been happily married for 2 years.
Many people here would be grossed out -- they are forcing me to hink about their sex life.

A man says -- here's my wife Joan -- we have been happpily married for 10 yers and have three lovely children. And nobody says -- ugh -- why did they force me to recognize they have sex by pushing the fact they have children.

I know a bit of hyperbole...but that's what it seems like.



I would argue that some people may not have walked about because of the sexual orientation component of the story....it could have easily been the darkness and tragedy of the whole thing. It makes us uncomfortable to know someone was feeling suicidal.
I don’t think people who don’t want other people’s sexuality being shoved down their throats are concerned about spouses introducing themselves.

Most probably walked out because they wanted to beat the rush.
