“I personally like being a guy,” Lonegan told Newsmax. …

“I mean that’s just sad,” Booker said. “Honestly that’s just really sad. And it’s just disheartening to hear somebody in this day and age in the United States of America … say basically – implicate that gay men are not men. That they’re not guys.”
