Correct me if I’m wrong, but in the article, the boyfriend only got one casual mention: “then sat down with his boyfriend, Gustavo Rangel,…”

How is that putting it in everyone’s faces, exactly?

I’m not surprised, it’s not unusual to find a gay male fashion designer.
Thats not a generalization, my GF attended the LA FIDM fashion school and told me it’s the way it is.

I don’t mind gays at all it’s their private business, just don’t put it in the faces of everyone who aren’t. The same deal with straight couples who smooch in people’s faces in public, nobody needs to see that.

Jason might positively help represent the gay asian community better but then at the same time it might negatively impact the portrayal of successful asian males who are constantly being portrayed as asexual female-less beings in the media.

A Win-Lose situation perhaps?

I think, in some families, the thought of having a gay son or daughter is too foreign beyond comprehension. I think they don’t understand the *heart* involved.

In an interview with Michelle Krusiec, Wil of Saving Face, she explained that when showing the film to her mother, her mom simply didn’t understand the complexities of homosexuality.
“I play Wil who is gay.”
“Where’s Gay?”
“No, Wil *IS* gay.”
“Gay is with Wil?”

eff his extended family members. their raggedy behinds can talk crap all they want, but at the end of the day, jason is an accomplished designer whose work was worn by the first lady. i bet that’s 100x more significant than anything his uncles and aunts ever did in their lives.

my 2c.
