YouTuber Logan Paul kind of apologises for saying he would ‘go gay for a month’
After being slammed for suggesting he would “go gay for just one month”, YouTube star Logan Paul has apologised for the comments he made last week – kind of.
Paul made the comments on his Impaulsive Podcast, calling “male-only March” one of his New Year’s resolutions.
“We’re gonna attempt to go gay for just one month,” he said.
“For one month. And then swing… go back,” one of his co-hosts then said, before they all laughed at the comments.
Users on social media responded angrily, saying that Paul’s comments trivialised sexuality by suggesting someone could ‘go gay’ as a stunt or a choice.
Paul has over 18 million subscribers, most of whom are young people, on his YouTube channel.
Out YouTuber Daniel Preda called Paul “an awful representation of the YouTube community”.
“Logan Paul joking about being gay “for one month” while countless LGBT+ around the world are killed & committing suicide for their sexuality, is disgusting,” Preda tweeted.
“He truly has learned NOTHING over the last year.”
Paul came under fire last year for posting a video on YouTube filmed in Aokigahara forest, Japan’s notorious ‘suicide forest’, which showed footage of an apparent dead body.
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 @LoganPaul

Paul has said that he lost millions following the fallout from the Aokigahara video, and just a year later has found himself once again in hot water.
After media organisation GLAAD tweeted the story, saying “That’s not how it works, Logan Paul”, Paul responded by calling his comments a “very poor choice of words”.
“My fault,” he tweeted. “Let’s get together and talk about it on my podcast next week?”
GLAAD has yet to respond, and Paul has yet to post or publish a genuine apology for the comments.
If people have any intelligence at all then they should quite simply cancel their accounts with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and any other of of these sort of stupid sites. They are nothing more than money-making rackets by those who set them up – OK they don’t get money from members but they make a truck-load of the stuff from the Advertisers..
Observer refers to this Logan creature as “A YouTube Star”. Well who made him that? the people who now complain about his comments. He is a Nobody, He is totally Irrelevant – just like all the others and most of those who take part in this scam of so-called “Social Media”! Get up and make some Real Human Friends not these pseudo one you will probably never meet and who simply don’t care about you or anyone else. They only care about themselves.
