BBC Thinks Adam Rippon’s Harness Was Inspired by 50 Shades & the Gays Aren't Having It
Clearly that aren’t enough gay people working at the BBC.
Adam Rippon has made numerous headlines since the Oscars for wearing a sexy-ass leather harness designed by the creative director of Moschino, Jeremy Scott.
\u201cGetting ready to live-tweet the #Oscars and we just found out @Adaripp is wearing this to the red carpet and nope, we\u2019re not ready. \ud83d\ude33\u201d— PRIDE (@PRIDE) 1520201207
Some people loved it, like we did here at PRIDE. Others, had less positive things to say about the harness/suit lewk.
And BBC News seemed to completely misunderstand the reason why Rippon—who officially solidified his status as a gay icon during this year’s Winter Olympics—was wearing the garment.
In fact, they thought it was a nod to the 50 Shades of Grey series:
Contrary to popular belief, BDSM and gay culture existed prior to the release of 50 Shades of Grey.
One tweet, reading the BBC to filth, has been liked over 50,000 times:
\u201cToo many straight people working at the BBC.\u201d— Nick McGlynn (@Nick McGlynn) 1520240173
Clearly, the gays knew what BDSM and leather were before the rest of the world...
