Whether the man being suspected as a gay is a popular actor like “Descendants of the Sun” star Song Joong-ki or a potential nominee for a Supreme Court seat in Donald Trump’s administration, the topic is bound to be controversial.
On Friday, Pink News reported that President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing to the U.S. Supreme Court a conservative judge, William H. Pryor Jr. However, as soon as Pryor’s name was mentioned, there were accusations that came out the judge had allegedly posed naked in a gay magazine.
The image showed a black-and-white photo of a nude young man with an erection. The picture was republished online by Badpuppy.com in 1997 but has been removed, although the Alabama Bureau of Investigations has a screenshot of the incriminating photo.
But Pryor, who had suggested in the past jail time for gay couples who have sex in their homes, denied he is the naked young man on the photo. Pink New noted that the young man looks like Pryor and cited its sources who said the photo was taken when Pryor was still a college student.
But the judge, whom Trump wants to challenge Roe v Wade, the 1973 abortion rights Supreme Court landmark decision, told Legal Schnauzer, “I have nothing to say to you except that these accusations are totally false … Do not contact me again.”
Legal Schnauzer, a website, circulated the rumor in 2013. It said the photo was initially published in the 1980s, republished by Badpuppy.com in 1997, and is now found in p-gay.com, according to Snopes, a site that belies online hoaxes and fake news.
Among the reasons why Legal Schnauzer belies the young man on the photo is Pryor is a headshot of a model next to the name “Bill Pryor,” comments from the judge’s colleagues that the naked young man looks like the potential Supreme Court nominee and both Pryor and the model being cross-eyed or suffering from strabismus.
