Logan Paul joked about ‘going gay’
Earlier this year, Logan Paul faced anger when he joked that he planned to “go gay” for a month.
He said: “It’s male-only March. We’re gonna attempt to go gay for just one month.”

Daniel Preda, the partner of YouTuber Joey Graceffa, responded: “Logan Paul joking about being gay ‘for one month’ while countless LGBT+ around the world are killed & committing suicide for their sexuality, is disgusting.
“He continues to be an awful representation of the YouTube community & shows he truly has learned NOTHING over the last year.
“Perhaps for the month of March instead of baiting the gay community you can use your massive platform as a voice for those LGBT+ who have no voice and resort to suicide and self-harm. Just a suggestion,”
However, Paul apologised for the remarks after earning a rebuke from GLAAD.
He conceded: “Very poor choice of words… my fault.”
