His whole look is very not butch. That beard is very well groomed and his hair is immaculate. His skin also looks very cared for. I do believe his dear papa may have been a lumberjack.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think he would be a lot happier if he just embraced it, poor thing.
That's because he's not a hillbilly. He grew up in Ohio and went to Yale. His grandparents were from Appalachia, so he calls himself a hillbilly- and uses a bunch of bullshit stereotypes about Appalachia while doing it.
There is hillbilly Ohio. Huntington is just across the border and even in Columbus you get a lot of refugees from Appalachia, including my girlfriend. But he’s from fucking Middletown. I’m from the Dayton area with a grandparent who grew up in West Virginia myself, but given that one of my partners grew up in part in rural Tennessee, and even my ex in Lexington was far more Appalachian than I could ever be, I understand that I’m not someone who can claim this.
What gets to me is how Middletown does give him a sob story. It’s been hit hard by the decline of the rust belt. Like, it’s rough by Dayton standards. But he doesn’t want to acknowledge that the money ghouls destroyed his home state
That said, there are well-groomed, eyeshadow wearing straight men. Just look at Travis McElroy. No need to start putting people into boxes based on appearance.
But it would be nice if he weren’t a complete asswipe trying to put people into boxes.
Oh I thought Travis was pan or bi?
He sure looks it, but no, he’s said before that a lot of people assume that (and he’s obviously not bothered) but he’s straight.
I remember him saying that, I thought more had come out since, oops!
On the other hand...
