lmao don’t just assume he’s striaght tf. im not saying he is apart of the lgbt+ community but you don’t know if he is. please put ‘unknown’ for his sexuality. maybe you should do this for every person on this page. it’s very rude in my opinion. you cant just assume he’s straight just because he hasn’t come out as otherwise. change it. thank you.
