Air Force football player Bradley Kim comes out as gay in a first for military academies

Sorry, not cute at all. He might as well be straight.

His face is that of one who is inflicted with a touch of the syndrome many believe Alam Wernick has... but I don't think those people would qualify for admission to the Air Force Academy...

Screw you all! He's cute as a button!

Ew, OP. Are you sightless? Gross.

Cute

Handsome

Not cute but he does have an inviting hole.

Adorable

OP/R8/R5/R6 is Bradley Kim. Sorry, sweetie, but you're not cute.

Good for him! And in the Air Force! Swoon

He is only cute if you are an old troll who thinks anything under 30 is cute. Otherwise, by normal gay standards, not anything special.

I don't know what is wrong with you people. He's cute!

Air Force academy is Focus on the Family territory, good for him.

i'd bone him

He went overboard with all the "Blessings!" cult-like slogans on his IG:

[quote] God bless all

[quote] God made me

[quote] Jeremiah 29:11🙏🏽

[quote] Extra thankful for God today.. here’s one of my favorite worship songs 🙏🏽

GOD BLESS, MR. KIM! LET’S JOIN A PRAYER GROUP AND WORSHIP JESUS AND HIS FATHER AND THE HOLY GHOST TOGETHER! --- BILL TAYLOR, BLESSINGS.

One thing Mr. Kim needs to know is that gays on places like DL will ridicule you for not coming out with words such as" coward." However, when you do come out, they will be the first to abandon you and criticize your looks, as if you were unworthy. Alas, no one hates gays more than other gays ( the unhappy, insecure ones). This is a major development ( a service academy player) coming out. especially at a fake Christian hotbed such as Colorado Springs. He should be commended and supported, not belittled.

....

W&W for r16 for wisdom. DL is an absolute disgrace for the worst in gay men.

R16, "hate"? No one "hates" him, you silly snowflake. OP himself invited comments on the guy's looks by opening the thread via focusing on the guy's looks ("he's CUTE!"). DLers responded to OP by voicing their own subjective opinions on his looks.

Most posters simply said subjectively that they don't see him as "cute". If that's "hate" for you, then I don't know how you cope with human relations at all.

Good for him. He came out. Fine. But unless he has a rocking body I don’t see the allure. His face is not attractive. Any shirtless pictures?

But, fair enough, R16. Kim is the most jaw-dropping, God-like Adonis to ever walk the Earth. His aesthetic look, as focused on by OP, is dreamy and for the ages.

He's a nice God-fearing, God-praising, Church-going man too.

You happy now?

He's better looking than 85% of DL.

He simply looks normal, R22.

85% of DL is ca. 40 years older than him. Give him time, he'll catch up.

Korean father?

He’s only hot to you guys because he’s come out of the closet. If he was straight, you would be saying how ugly he is. Everyone gets a pass on whatever they say or do if they’re gay, regardless of how vile it may be.

What an unfortunate picture.

God, i hope any athlete wanting to come out don't read this crap. If that's the support you are going to get i understand why they do bearding. You don't need homophobes when you have bitchy queens

Look at all those airplane pins he has.

Sure, R27, there are only 2 options in life: (1) come out to the entire Planet via national newspapers, seeking either support or quick fame (who knows, look at ex-Columbia ex-wrestler Dylan Geick); or (2) beard. No other options (like coming out to those that actually know you and you care about in the non-digital world), right?

R1 With comments like that, please stop asking yourself why no one is interested in dating you.

Very cute and brave!

R25 Yes, courage is sexy, as opposed to anonymous shade-throwing, which tends to make me think the poster has a micropenis.

I think he's cute, though others that have come out like Mason Darrow are to die for. So quit knocking him. I suppose all the disparagers who blast him are infinitely cuter than he is.

He's young, fit and defending his country.

Even those here and in his real life that would pass shallow judgement and do and say anything to tear him down.

Sweetie

R6 What a beautiful looking lad. Imagine kissing with those eyes locked on yours.

R34, how is he currently "defending" the country?

Or is he going to be shipped off as cannon fodder to some other continent for yet another illegal invasion, to "defend" the oil interests of the 1%.

Of course, one can't help but wonder if the disparaging comments about his appearance are related to his surname.

Adorable and brave.

Doubt it, R38. There were very popular threads on DL dedicated to hot Korean singers, hot Mongolian wrestlers, etc.

I'm half-Asian myself and prefer half-Asians. But Kim's look is just normal, neither bad-looking nor breathtaking.

Good looking guy - he looks like a nice guy.

But, that picture. Did they have to use one that is in the dictionary next to "gay face" as an example?

Does that personally offend you, R41?

I must have missed all of those threads about irresistible plastic surgesized Korean boy band singers and hot, ripped Mongolian wrestlers, R40.

He may not be a stud (unless, as a USAF football player he can't post shirtless pics to provide the evidence), but it is weird that he does not even get the honorable mention of "cute." I guess I am to understand that the linked boys are what merits as "cute" or desirable on DL. Either that or the butt-ugly ape and closeted murderer Aaron Hernandez who had a nice VPL in his playing days.

[quote]Does that personally offend you, [R41]?

No, merely an observation with which you may either agree or disagree.

I think he's good looking, so it's no matter to me. It's not like I'll ever meet (or date) him in any case.

R43, what are you on about? OP called him cute, as did others.

[quote] The Gazette. Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalism

Sorry, not with this story.

good for him !

Top or bottom?

yeah but when will a player from the NFL come out?

He looks like a new breed of uncut American youth.

After a very positive coming out yesterday, he’s getting attacked today with the usual garbage (e.g. why do you have to share your sexuality with the world, I didn’t come out straight? BS ) on his insta. Looking at his responses, he’s keeping it upbeat and thoughtful but the kid must be exhausted. Click on link to send love 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🌈

Whoa bro! This is so great! Congrats dude!

^ Cowabunga!

Boss

Narcissistic, unattractive attention whore. Next.

Hot to death. And a Division I active football player! And in the military! Stud Alpha Boss! 💪🏾

He seems like a fantastic guy with great character....AND he's cute! Good for him! He will be quite the catch for someone who is worthy of him.

Can’t wait for more active Division I football players to come out. This is huge

What's the point of him coming out? One look at those eyebrows tells you everything you need to know!

He's a brain-dead Christian who quotes scripture on Instagram. Wow, what a winner.

R60 Why do you have to be so mean to him because he's a Christian?! So what's it to you? The gay community should be large enough that we can accept people with different faiths, values, ideologies, and politics. We expect the world to accept us for our sexuality and then we turn and feed on each other like rabid dogs for our differences. I don't get it. This guy is a good person. Leave him alone!

I appreciate and respect Mr. Kim for having the courage to come out in such a conservative gay-negative environment. He deserves gratitude for realizing that his struggle is bigger than himself and that real progress can be achieved when gays are open and unashamed of who they are. Let the bigots spew their vitriol. We are better than that and we are here to stay.

He's turned his IG private. Bummer.

Understandable after all the harassment he's been receiving

R60, that’s why I love him. Cool dude Of faith and character. 💪🏾

I checked out a few of his pics, he pings off the charts and total gay face...no announcement was needed.

He can also sing, and his latest post is him playing guitar while singing the extremely popular Christian song “Oh how He loves us.” People are loving it! So awesome!

I never dared to dream for a man in not one, but TWO UNIFORMS. God is good, today! And those dimples will break hearts. Mercy 😜

[quote] it is weird that he does not even get the honorable mention of "cute."

Yes, how “weird” that everyone on the planet doesn’t have the exact same taste and aesthetic opinion as you do, R43.

And you didn’t miss those Mongolian / Korean threads, you simply don’t know how to search DL’s archive. Also, there’s no need to denigrate every other Asian just to elevate your personal Korean-American military idol.

Personally, as a half-Asian myself, this is the kind of half-Asian look I prefer: Muraoka (half-Japanese, half-Brazilian).

[quote] Why do you have to be so mean to him because he's a Christian?! So what's it to you? The gay community should be large enough that we can accept people with different faiths, values, ideologies, and politics.

The gay community is already very accepting of Christians, R61. The gay community is also large enough to accept gay Scientologists, gay Flat-Earthers, etc. But don't expect people not to roll their eyes at science-denying, collective brainwashing religious cults, of which "Jesus Christ-ianity" is one.

Not cute AT ALL.

Does every guy who comes out have to look like an Aryan poster boy for a Hitler Youth rally?

R70 Why are you a condescending prick?

Mr. Kim doesn't require your approval, he's probiably going to decide things about your life. He's superior to you, but you will never know because you'll be in a nursing home when you realize it.

Christians can go fuck themselves.

R73, sorry, but Jesus Christ was not the son of a Jewish "virgin" and "Father-God". Simply stating the objective truth that "Jesus Christ-ianity" is a powerful brainwashing religious cult doesn't make one a "condescending prick", it makes one a realist.

You have serious issues r75. Sad

[quote]He's better looking than 85% of DL.

Really? Because I was thinking it's more like...88.3%

You morons saying that guy is not cute are clearly sight impaired. No, he's not cute, he's gorgeous. I haven't read the article yet, but is he Asian and some other ethnicity as well? He looks like a classic Amerasian. Whatever he is he's beautiful.

[quote] He should be commended and supported, not belittled.

You do realize you're talking to a small group of mental cases here whose own lives are so devoid of any positivity and affirmation they come here to try and make at least one other person feel as miserable as they are.

Beautiful smile too.

Oh mon dieu, everyone doesn't share R79's personal taste? Quelle horreur!

R80, there's actually a mental case "super stan" on this thread who obsessively PRs this military guy on other threads (completely out of context too), like the Geick thread. I bet he's the same "super stan" who started the duplicate thread about him too.

R17 I'm guessing Brad hooked up with that guy - check out his arm around the waist of the other guy.

I love this dude. A real role model

A new generation of hope

So cool

Yet a belief still exists, like the mythology of a bygone era, that gay athletes coming out to their teams, especially in football, will be roundly rejected. This defies the actual real-world experiences of Arizona’s My-King Johnson, Kansas State’s Scott Frantz, Butler’s Xavier Colvin, Indiana State’s Jake Bain, Willamette’s Conner Mertens, Chapman’s Mitch Eby, and many others across the sport.

The kid's hot as hell. He's cute, he has a great body, and he has the courage to be himself in an environment (especially post-Trump) that is not completely welcoming to gay men.

R55 You just described Instagram's business model

He also has a lot of integrity and moral fiber. He has depth

He’s alright, but not gorgeous.

Delusional queens. Gorgeous in what world? I wouldn't blink twice if he passed me in the street. Not cute at all.

Not cute. Looks at least semi-Asian.

Can we as gay white men just STOP promoting Asian men as "attractive" out of guilt?!

We've let Tumblr and Reddit get so into our heads and shame us for the "no fats, no fems, no Asians" shit that we're reflexively declaring ANY Asian man with an Instagram as attractive.

It's insulting, and this thread is an example: "oh look, an Asian male with ten fingers and ten toes, he must be attractive! #sowoke #colorblind #SJWcaché"

This dude is FUG. He's short, squat, and has a face for bricklaying. Open your goddamned eyes.

R88, the problem is none of those players play in the NFL. Michael Sam was the only openly gay player and was cut. Was it because of his playing abilities or because he'd be a "distraction in the clubhouse"? I guess we'll never know for sure.

I agree R95.

Datalounge, stop thirsting after Kim Jong Boogawolf.

There are a lot of mental cases on this thread.

He's come out as gay in a possibly unfavorable environment.

He didn't Come out as handsome, cute, or gorgeous -- all those descriptions and denials are irrelevant and beside the point.

Why in the world are we discussing his looks??

I find Asian dudes very hot. I love the Millennial Asians who lift weights, love hip hop, and have urban swag. Very hot.

R88, you still don’t get it dude. College football is the feeder for the NFL. The more college football Players come out and are successful in college, the more likely they will be in professional football. The existence of open college player undermines arguments against open professional players and overall makes open football players normative and non-noteworthy. A decade ago, openly bi/gay college football players was unheard of, exotic. This is huge progress.

Boss

The fundies still have their thumbs up the asses of all those AF cadets.

He'd better say "God Bless.'

Go to picture 2 at the link.

He's waiting for someone. Lol.

[quote]We've let Tumblr and Reddit get so into our heads and shame us for the "no fats, no fems, no Asians" shit that we're reflexively declaring ANY Asian man with an Instagram as attractive.

Interesting point, r95.

So, based on your comment, it is possible to be an attractive Asian man, just not this one (though I wouldn't say that 5'9" is all that short).

I'd be interested in your identifying one that you do find to be hot if not this one so that we may better understand what you consider hot to be. I mean, if you find young twinks hot, I can see why you wouldn't find this guy to your taste.

This boy is delightful....Shut up, negative nellies.

Coming out in the United States is not brave. This ain’t the 80s. Nobody cares. Coming out in the Middle East is brave.

And he is very cute.

Celebrating National Girlfriend Day with his "girlfriends." And he's looking mighty fine while doing it!

Cool

Angles are everything! Because, in some pics he looks like he has a tight little body, like in R107. But, in others, he looks fat but fit, like in R103. Very strange.

His only redeeming quality is his big ass. Maybe I'd tap it with a big over his head.

bag**

Oh, dear

Wow. Look at the tokhes in R107 post. Damn.

[quote] But, in others, he looks fat but fit

Here at DL, we call that "fit-fat."

Wow, he's hot.

His looks are fine, but the Bible thumping is not cute or brave

It’s sad and pathetic

I will say this:

At least he didn’t come out as bi

R115, I love it that he is a devout Christian.

Yes, R117, you’ve made that frantically clear up and down this thread

He is cute in most pics.

Dude, stop with eyebrows already.....

He is the definition of mediocrity.

R117 I love it too!

Most white/asian mixed guys unfortunately get stuck with the small dicks...

Why do you love the fact that he's a 'devout Xtian', R117?

Btw since Jesus Christ and most of the prophets (Abraham, etc) were Jewish - it's logical that the next prophet will be Jewish too, according to biblical tradition. So which living person might be the next Prophet or God's Son?

R124, there is no Such New Testament prophecy

With some bros

R125, no one cares, people are making it up as they go. There was no prophecy about the split of the Xtian religion between the Catholics and the Greek Orthodox, and then the Catholics and the Protestants, and then the trillion Protestant sects, and then the Mormons, and etc, etc, etc.

We might as well create an Updated New Testament, or "Newest" Testament. Because the previous "New" one is now outdated. And we need a new Prophet (from the Chosen People = Abraham's Jewish lineage like Jesus) to tell us how the Xtian God wants us to update it.

I nominate Mr Morgan Freeman

Bump

Total Cutie....

Brad with his dad...

So cool

Wow, that's courageous at the ultra-fundy Air Force Academny. Good for him.

The best part is his bond with his teammates

R115 that's his religious beliefs

Would you say the same if he was Muslim?

he has more blush that mimi from drew carey, was anyone really surprised? on a serious note, better to live in your truth. he has an asian family so i wonder how they took it.

I love his vibe

R136 I think he's from a biracial family and he is photo'd above with his dad.

Yeah, his mom is white

I think its really sweet that he loves his parents. He looks like a great son.

Indeed

His dad is cool

He's a g00k?

He's not a gook, R143. He seems like a great guy...and he's cute!

So cool

Brad with his parents and sister...

So much talent

Just wow

Hard pass

This tard fundie again?

I think he's cute as heck.

He’s beautiful

Boss

Sing brah

He’s a bottom

So cool

If he was an ugly AWG you all would be creaming in your panties.

Why is someone bumping multiple threads about this nobody?

R146, why is he calling his dad a hapa? I thought he was all Asian?

R159 his dad is probably a chinese/jap hapa

Boss

He was average looking at best. That grotesque tat covering his right upper arm killed any semblance of him being even minimally attractive.

A true Millennial role model. Gay/Bi football players rock!

Very wholesome guy

Cutie

Opening for Andy Grammer

Opening what for Andy Grammer? Hole?

He looks nice enough

But he kind of reminds me of KD Lang

If there's anywhere in the world where I know I'm going to fine [italic]the[/italic] definitive, well-documented results of exhaustive research on gay men's experiences of personal attraction, it's [italic]definitely[/italic] going to be R11 on an anonymous message board on an anonymously-posted thread on the topic of one particular Air Force cadet.

^ *find

So cool!

Beach

Christ is Risen!

Agree that he is cute. Good for him. Brave in that environment. Not a fan of all the religious shit but whatever.

He follows Aaron Schock.

Great to see more high profile gay Christians, especially jocks

A gay bible thumper yikes

Good for him

Pool Swag

He’s adorable, an athlete, grounded and looks well-loved -he’s a great new role model for young guys.

So inspiring and wholesome.

My guess is he's a Republican who just loves Trump

you jealous CUNT R95 he is adorable..if your so hot post a real pic of yourself and let this gaggle of hens judge you !!! HATER

He's short, stocky, asian and bottom. At best he's 5/10. Hard pass.

Love this bro

And R184 is a hard up bitter old fag that is no more than a 2 at best....

I think he is cute as a button

r186 lol how did you know I'm 77.

Summer

He is cute but not gorgeous, seems like a nice guy tho.

My type

[quote]This dude is FUG. He's short, squat, and has a face for bricklaying. Open your goddamned eyes.

Where are you on those "fug 'Beto' is hot etc." threads. That guy is /actually/ gross.

This guy is cute.

Very cute
