A photo posted on Reddit of a man at Chicago's Pride Parade this past weekend wearing a very "festive" outfit while a child looks on in fear/amusement/confusion/boredom grabbed the attention of a few homophobic commenters (surprise, it's Reddit). Until a much more tolerant commenter, who clearly did their research, pointed out that the man in the photo is actually straight and well-known for loving strange, Internet attention. Word of the wise: don't click on the photo that is linked if you are not in the correct setting where it would be alright for a massive black dildo to pop up on your screen. You've been warned.
