Controversial YouTube star Logan Paul has landed in hot water again after joking his New Years’ resolution was to “go gay for a month”, reports Gay Times.
Paul made the comment on his podcast “Impaulsive” on Saturday and was instantly met with online backlash.
“Logan Paul joking about being gay “for one month” while countless LGBT+ around the world are killed & committing suicide for their sexuality, is disgusting,” one user tweeted.
“He continues to be an awful representation of the YouTube community & shows he truly has learned NOTHING over the last year.”
Paul has gotten in trouble before for divisive and insensitive videos. Earlier last year he posted a video in Japan’s infamous “suicide forest”, Aokigahara. The video showed Paul discovering a body. Many found the post incredibly disrespectful.
In a response to a tweet from GLAAD – “That’s not how it works, @LoganPaul” – Paul invited the organisation to join his podcast: “Very poor choice of words… my fault… Let’s get together and talk about it on my podcast next week?”
GLAAD has yet to accept the invitation.
