I love the butterfly 🦋 tattoos, I know, I want one of those butterfly tattoos

This is fast becoming one screwed up country

What a terrible and disgusting creature ...

Disgraceful and Disgusting.

Ridiculous! What a pathetic statement to cover up his MonarchMindControl beta-programming with breaking free from masculinity. Why don't you shave that silly billy-goat beard? cuz that's manly.

mentalhealth

He's doing it for the press. CHANGE MY MIND.

ButterfliesAreFree after all.

ABC is sick, social programming, garbage. Carry on.

At least not another shooting story

🤮

if you want to know why Americans are sick of awards shows, this picture........and many like it

RIP Masculinity

The gayifaction of America, keep pushing that agenda

I love GMA! Gorge your manly body language is hilarious! I’ve watched this like 20X’s! They will give you real news in a minute! 😂🤣

Go away!

Obviously some kind of Disconnect going on there!!!

I always like his fits 😍

Wtf Hollywood trash will do anything for attention

Look at this little pervert that is pushing. No bounds

FabChic_MzAllen Nastiness

Picture perfect! ABC and Hollywood's poster child. This is what they represent. Appears to be one thing but acts like something different. How far we've come. LOL

I don't know, and don't care, who the hell this is, but how can crap like this be good for society and the success of the human race?

Miss me with that gay shit. 💀💀

Ridiculous

Is this seriously what our society has come to I mean come on who cares so what you wore a dress put a bunch of butterflies on you're also gay but who gives a shit about any of this type of stuff sadly this is how our society is

What a waste,

That’s disgusting. If an actual man would have came out in a old school Sean Connery James Bond style look I wonder would u celebrate as much

Well he,she,it hates masculinity , but loves masculine men hahahahaha gtfoh !!!

WOW! He can't think he looks good.

Breaking free of toxic masculinity Why? Was he a wife beater? Suppressor of women? Whatever!

Uglyyyy

Sickos

Please. Make it stop. Why are people encouraging this or fawning over it. Some may be silent because they do not want backlash. But please enough.

Weird

A majority hate this minority.

Will be glorified by agenda “news”.

Dear God

So stupid

I’m all about living your best life. But at some point you need to be a bit real. Things are getting a bit out of control.

Yet trading the bondage of masculinity for the bonds of femininity - Spanx, high heels, stockings, make up/hair concerns. Each gender has its troubles.

Oh come on .

Dem libs just redefine a denial of reality of one's sex organs by calling it identity. Shazham! This is the new normality. I'm 42 yrs old I wonder if I identified as 65 yrs old, would Social Security start sending me my retirement checks and Medicare now.

The alphabet people are getting out of hand

Who?

Sick dog

Why the need to show us how discombobulated you feel weird

Kiss the ring precious...

This 'statement' and many others like it look more like a fashion trend, I have no doubt that there are many who live their lives in a gender grey area, but it's odd they all seem to be in the same industries and make sure there are cameras.

...future amerycan a president. ¿

The subjects they choose to report on are lame, irrelevant, worn out and over repetitive.

He’s needs to get a sex change Because masculinity is and was created by GOD and should celebrated for masculinity means to manhood

🤣🤣💩💩🤣🤣

🤔

LMFAO

Before it was cool 😂

David Bowie, Freddy Mercury and many others have paved the way. Hardly original. Why is this news worthy?

please seek mental health assistance.

Freak

😂😂🙄

Big gay

Strange world

How come you’re not reporting on the Iranian protesters being tear gassed and shot by the Iranian police? What about that bondage and not this BS?

ABC is the enemy of families

Does Porter fly free for this 8 year old girl, or man, or whatever this child predator's pronoun or self description is as well?

What an eye sore 😣

Sad so sad

I think it’s called mental sickness! Sickness?

Would this be an issue or even happen if it weren’t for the pictures and the publicity?

And..... We project Trump the 2020winner.

As a gay person ... UGH!!!

Welcome to Zombieland...not long now 🦇vs🐺 🌀

or monarch programming

Man with tattoos wears dress. Shocking! Never ever been done before. What a genius.

This the bondage of narcissism, and masculinity doesn’t want you back. :)

I mean... Good But Who cares. He looks terrible anyway

Lol cool you wore a 👗 and simultaneously ended the patriarchy and racism. ✊🏾

Freak

1)Who's this guy? 2)Smh

The media seems obsessed with a group of people who are 0.3% of the population. The Ls, Bs, Qs and other letters are probably feeling left out.

The bondage of masculinity? SMH...When people start saying the bondage of femininity is when I’ll believe we have achieved equality of diversity

Who gives a shit? Why is this news?

What in the hell?

Ohhhhh okay

? I don’t understand...a costume party?

When parody becomes reality 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bravo! We each need to be true to ourselves.

so freaking brave and powerful move over military there's a black dude in a dress so brave man

Who is this dude?

🦋🤡

Huh?

And they wonder how Trump won

What is that in the picture?
