I'm just going to pretty much address all that's been going on in the past few hours.
For those of you who don't know, Corey just got out of T-Vivor in a 4-2 vote, and his final words went like this verbatim:
"Alex, I find it funny that you're on a six month anniversary with a girl 'cause bitch, you're so fucking deep in the closet in Nebraska it's not even funny. And you'll be getting fucking zero votes in Jury."
And I made a comment about how I was glad to see him go and how I didn't care that I wasn't going to win, to which he responds with:
"I don't care that you don't care. You're such a closet case go fucking into your little show choir. Go sing!"
This caused a lot of uproar from the T-Vivor Podcast hosts and just the general public so I am here to address it.
I am personally very upset with Corey. I was never rude to Corey, and I really felt like the comments were unnecessary. The real funny thing is is that I am very used to being called gay. I perform in a show choir, my voice is higher than it probably should be, so I've gotten the comments in real life. But every time they're a "oh, I thought you were gay, my mistake." rather than Corey's way of basically saying I am gay and I should come out. In the podcast he said that he doesn't regret any of the comments he made, stating that his major made him practically qualified to say I still have some "discovering" to do with myself.
I am not offended in being called gay. There's nothing wrong with it, it wouldn't matter if I were or not. The issue I have is that Corey is using it as an insult as a way to diminish who I am as a person.
So I'd like to thank all the people who are sending kind words (T-Vivor Cast/T-Vivor Hosts/T-Vivor Podcasters in particular).
Personally, I am really glad that Corey won't be giving me his vote to win if I make it. I wouldn't want him to anyways. I'm leaving it at that, just because people have been speaking "for" me and I've seen a lot of blogs talking about how I shouldn't be offended and how it's ironic because people have been saying it for years.
