Because he assaulted people… or because they were men?

That’s a quote from a survivor, not a random fan.

Yea this whole thing is fucked. Tait is clearly a terrible pedophile, and being gay shouldn't be such a big part of the story or carry any negative connotations. Apart from the rape, drugging, pedophilia, and generally just being an awful person, the fact that what really brought this to a head was another radio host outing him as gay as being the reason people started to drop him is so disheartening. The article mentions that everyone pretty much knew, but it took the public hearing the word's that Tait is gay for change.
