    I’m not sharing this story to make LGBTQ+ activists look bad. Yes, he most likely groomed a child but I think this is just another in a long line of stories that complicates our thinking around our idols. Many legends throughout history have done terrible things but still made great impacts on our world.

      If only the article has that same tone, comments would be more positive.

      LGTB are fighting an uphill battle against false accusations of grooming. “This idol activist was also a groomer” is not helping.
