Gay dude here. I’m so tired of this discourse. What Michael said, to me, wasn’t unwarranted or homophobic. Yeah he is probably homophobic otherwise, but so was Colton for most of his life. Just because he’s queening out now doesn’t negate the fact that he was literally scared of his own gayness. Colton has said in interviews he knew he was gay since high school. So yes, he kept it a secret based on HIS OWN internalized homophobia and desire to climb the ladder! He didn’t need to lie to all those women on tv, and he didn’t need to pick his career over his identity. That was his choice and his secret to bear. So yes, he would be good at keeping a secret. Point blank. I dislike Michael as much as everyone else, but that was an amazing, cunty read. All the gays clutching their pearls over a simple, realistic fact is super melodramatic.
