Logan Paul defends \u201cgoing gay\u201d controversy in heated discussion with LBGTQ activist Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul has opened up about the outrage surrounding one of his New Year\u2019s resolutions \u2013 specifically, what he called \u2018Male Only March,\u2019 where he claimed he would \u201cgo gay\u201d for the month. Paul\u2019s statement was met with incredulity across the internet, with LGBTQ+ activists speaking out against the YouTuber for what was widely deemed an insensitive joke. After claiming that the statement was a \u201cvery poor choice of words\u201d in a Tweet following the backlash, Paul has since spoken further on the topic, releasing a clip from an upcoming episode of his \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 podcast where he spoke with Air Force veteran and LGBTQ+ activist Josh Seefried (who previously called out Paul for his resolution in a scathing Tweet). very poor choice of words\u2026 my fault. let\u2019s get together and talk about it on my podcast next week? https:\/\/t.co\/Ki8RKgMJOO \u2014 Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 12, 2019 The 26th episode of the imPaulsive podcast was published on January 21, and immediately took a serious tone with Seefried and Logan discussing whether what he said was a joke, or whether it was actually intended. Seefried commented on how frightening it could be for Paul to open up about exploring his sexuality as a major internet personality \u2013 to which Paul had an unexpected response. \u201cIt\u2019s not even scary to me,\u201d Paul answered. \u201cSexuality is so fluid nowadays, I don\u2019t even think twice about talking about being gay. I don\u2019t give a shit. \u2026being gay is cool to me.\u201d Paul went on to call those who are open with their sexuality \u201ccourageous\u201d and \u201cnoble,\u201d stating that \u201cthere is nothing more beautiful than being yourself.\u201d Despite being pressed on the subject, Logan didn\u2019t reveal whether he would be experimenting in March, and instead attempted to highlight a comment that Joe Rogan made on his podcast about women turning lesbian because of trump, to which Seefried told him to stop trying to deflect it. The pair continued their discussion and appeared to make friends by the end, however, it\u2019s one of the first times during the imPaulsive podcast series that Logan has been challenged by a guest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
