LGBT Members ‘Gaydar’ on Xander Ford’s Come Out: “Stop this Gimmick”

LGBT Members Claims their ‘Gaydar’ Can’t Sense Xander Ford as Gay

Some LGBT members took social media to expose that their so-called ‘Gaydar’ can’t sense that Xander Ford is part of their community.

Previously, Marlou Arizala or best known as Xander Ford announces his true gender on social media. The internet star admitted that he is ‘bisexual’ at the age of 23.

His post announcing his gender reaps thousands of mixed reactions from the online community. Other netizens claimed that his revelation is one of his tactics to get out on the controversial case he is involved in.

Netizens also said that it was just a ‘gimmick’ to gain much attention on social media and aimed for better exposure as part of the LGBTQI + community.

However, some netizens who are members of the said community lambast the online sensation saying that his revelation is not true. Some of those who reacted said that their “gaydar” did not work with Xander’s revelation.

A Twitter netizen named Steven Bansil said on a post “Since this person came out or as he mentioned ‘sumali sa LGBT’ I watched his videos as I didn’t want to invalidate his sexuality. But haven’t you heard of what we call GAYDAR? You’re not bisexual, nor gay, not even part of the LGBT. Stop this gimmick and stop using our community!”

Other netizens also believe that this alleged gimmick by Xander is wrong and seems to be insulting the LGBTQI + community.

The first time he confessed, I know it’s just for the sake of being talked about and to trend in socmed. I don’t know but I somehow felt insulted din na parang ganun ganun lang ang take niya sa atin. I know he’s going through tough times too, pero mali ito.
