Brad, IMO, has shown more grace and class over the last 2 years than I would have ever expected from an ex of someone in Adam's situation. He's remained steadfast and loyal to Adam and has shown that, regardless of why their relationship might not have worked, they love each other to this day, if only as friends.
I think Brad/Cheeks is brilliant and creative and just plain fun. His social commentary is a hoot.
I loved his It Gets Better message because he's so right. Every minute is a chance to make things better. I love his positive attitude and joyous way of living.
Before Adam twatted his big news, I was about to post this cool article Brad did with AfterElton back in April 2010. I like this part especially:
AE: There's a lot of talk that we're moving into a post-gay world, as a young gay man, what's your take on that?
BCB: I think we still have a ways to go, but I do see it happening. I think one of the most important thing now is the visibility of the diversity in the gay community. Right now, there are certain marketable, packaged gay products that the mainstream can understand, but one of the most amazing things about the gay community is the diversity and all the different walks of life that exist within it.
I also think that can apply to the straight community. I think we're seeing an era where straight boys can wear makeup and that doesn't make them gay. Gay people, in turn, can express themselves however they want to without being afraid of people not understanding it being labeled with stereotypes.
Eventually, or hopefully, we'll get to a point where everyone just is and there is no particular fashion or way, everyone is unique, and everything is diversified and fragmented. I do think we still have a long ways to go, but we have come a long way, for sure.
