While Shannon offered a different versn of Tribal Council that mak his qutn to Sash seem ls egreg, and says he’s only guilty of stereotypg Sash, he eras any doubt that his ments are homophobic–they reprent a leral fear of gay people–when he says he was worried Sash would have perated him voluntarily. ” And I said, “When you told me you weren’t gay. ”That’s how the whole gay thg got brought out, not by me jt askg a guy if he’s gay.
