"When I'm standing by myself and three gays are next to me touching my leg, I get scared … I'm sorry. If that's homophobic, then I'm that," he said. "I'll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me."

Touching as in like, there’s so many people you can’t avoid bumping into people, or groping? I definitely get it if it’s the latter, and I’ve met plenty of people who think getting a squeeze in without permission is okay. We have scumbags like that in the LGBTQ+ community as well, unfortunately.

Ah, the "gay panic" defense. A shitbag classic.

Actual, homophobe Shia LaBeouf?!

For those curious, this is a quote taken from his interview with Channel 5 News. I personally thought it was a really sad interview that shows just how far gone this man's mind is. It doesn't excuse the things he has done, but I do feel bad for him as a former child actor who has developed mental illness like so many other former child actors.

Then why the Freddy Mercury cosplay?

I have a problem with being touched by random people while in large crowds, but I avoid the problem altogether by avoiding large crowds, not by being homophobic.

The guy is not well. He sounds like my wife's idiot meth head cousin when he talks.

Did something happen to this guy?

My only experience with a gay dude that was like, genuinely fucking uncomfortable, was when I was at a club and this guy comes up to me clearly rolling talking about how he was there with his boyfriend (who was also rolling) looking for a third. Dude would not take a hint, and I'm a straight guy so it's not like I was hinting at anything other than that.

The rest have been totally benign.

The Beef has nothing to fear.

how is this unstable scumbag still getting a platform? ugh.
