After Logan's last bad mistake at the Aokigahara forest (Suicide forest), where the vlogger recorded a suicide vicitim's body, I didn't think he was capable of making another bad mistake. However, he proved me wrong. He started a podcast in late 2018 and the episode that aired on January 9th 2019, left the LGBTQ+ community and supporters feeling extremely angry with Logan. Now if you haven't seen this episode of the podcast, you maybe asking yourself why is this... Well sit tight and I will tell you. In this episode of Logan's podcast Logan and brother nature were discussing New Year's Resolutions, a perfectly normal interaction for people around this time of year. However, Logan takes this tradition to the next level by then saying about "male only march" where he explains that the idea is to attempt to be gay for a month... Yes you did just read that right.


This comment or "joke" in my opinion can be O.k in the right situation and if you have the right company and/ or audience. Whereas if you have a podcast/ youtube channel, where potentially millions of people including impressionable children are watching or you are in the wrong company you have a responsibility to make sure you don't say anything potentially offensive or hurtful comments. This is because the children may think it is O.k to make "jokes" like this one and people like homosexuals in this situation can become disgusted, offended or even afraid to come out. "Jokes" like this also puts a target on homosexuals and potentially the rest of the LGBTQ+ community. I say "and the rest of the LGBTQ+ community because this community is a family and if you target one part of the family you target the whole family. The LGBTQ+ community like any other family protects each other, "all for one and one for all."


Comments like this makes it seem as though any other sexuality apart from being straight is a phase. comments like this really bug me because I am bisexual, therefore I am part of this family and I would like to reinforce the fact that who you love is NOT a choice in the same way what you look like is NOT a choice. The comment that was made by Logan on his podcast comes across as though he doesn't think about this in that particular moment.
