You need the context. He's an illegal immigrant yes but he's also rich and white from an area of the world where he was probably raised with a sense of entitlement being Afrikaans from South Africa. When he was growing up black people were essentially a slave class and like many rich white people his family profited in part off of that.
So keep in mind he's the "right" type of illegal immigrant.
I will say this in my bluntly antiquated way (47 man).
I kissed my buddy in high school because fuck it it was a dare. Didn't like it it's fucking weird. I wear pink. Love pink. I've painted my nails, dyed my hair, wore a dress before. I do all that because I know I'm straight. It's hilarious watching less secure people do juggling exercises in their heads when I know I'm going home and I'm fucking chicks.
My current gf is far more conservative than I am so I've toned down a lot but my joke has always been my grandma thought I was gay and asked my cousin once. He told her I'm not because he's walked in on me so many times having sex with girls lol.
Moral of the story, don't give a fuck what people think. Do you and if doing you is being gay then be fucking gay. Own it. Trust people like me will have your back if some dickhead pushes back.
I'm with John Waters. We need to bring perverts back into fashion.
