| Reid Arthur is a senior theater major at Christian college George Fox University in Portland, Oregon. He has participated in the school’s annual lip-sync battle, but this year Reid chose a couple of Taylor Swift tunes; first was ‘…Ready for It?’ and then it morphed into ‘You Need to Calm Down.’
When the lyrics, ”Cause shade never made anybody less gay’ play, Arthur’s backup dancers rip off his coat to reveal a white T-shirt with rainbow strings hanging from its sleeves.
He’s out, he’s proud, and he did so at a school that has denounced LGBTQ+ issues and stood up against same-sex marriage.
The crowd gave Arthur a standing ovation and he won first place, which was $500 he says he plans to donate to an LGBTQ organization.
Congratulations Reid, and welcome out in spectacular fashion. And please accept as our gift the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven and a copy of The Gay Agenda.
Welcome out.

That's brilliant! Both Reid and his back up dancers!
ReplyDeleteThe young are leading the way.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of him, but then a way to come out all right.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI read Taylor Swift herself got in touch and congratulated him. He, of course freaked out and immediately wondered how was he supposed to do homework ever again after that.
Younglings.
