Fans Defend Andy Cohen After Video of Getting Close With Another Man Goes Viral
Let Andy Cohen be gay!

Andy Cohen has somehow gone viral for doing a mildly gay activity at a gay bar during Pride Month...
A video of Andy Cohen sitting in a dark gay bar while a man sits on his lap has been going viral lately, with people shaming the What What Happens Live host for rubbing the man’s nipples.
Thankfully, fans and gay people in general aren’t having any of this gay-shaming during our month! People immediately started defending Cohen as soon as the video went viral and people started complaining.

It’s actually a very tame video, with Cohen in a gay bar, surrounded by gay men. No one is naked, no one is having sex. It’s just Andy Cohen rubbing a man’s nipple while he sits in his lap. During Pride!!!
But fans aren't having any of this gay-shaming during Pride!
The Andy Cohen shit is just rank and file homophobia and it kind of sucks that even ANDY COHEN can't be a little gay in public anymore without being admonished for it.

You go live your best gay life, Andy!
