Y’know, you never really thk about how most of the male signers on Project Runway are gay until a llectn as unniably straight as Edmond Newton’s hs the nway. Bradon McDonald will forever be remembered as the lightful signer on Project Runway Season 12 who got gay-proposed-to via a vio chat om home, and he prented a nway show that was jt as sweet as that moment. Fashn is ually associated wh gay men, but I know there have been a number of hetero male signers on PR over the years.
