Over the past several months, the media has been ablaze with stories about how the gay community continuously faces discrimination and hate. The scrutiny has come from all directions: corporations, the government and, most recently, fashion icon Giorgio Armani.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, the 80-year-old designer expressed his belief that a homosexual man should not dress as such if he wants to be considered a man. After reaffirming that “A homosexual man is a man, 100 percent,” he went on to say, “He does not need to dress homosexual.”
“When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme to say: ‘Ah, you know I’m homosexual,’ that has nothing to do with me,” he continued. “A man has to be a man.”
