Love wins and everybody loves The Acclaimed.
Anthony Bowens is a proud member of the LGBTQ community. In the past, he has spoken about how it was important for him, now happily in a relationship with his boyfriend, Michael, to be openly out and help the LGBTQ community and people who struggle.
"My mantra is yes, to help the LGBT community, but I’m also out to help the people— maybe like the shy kid who wants to be more social. Just, anything to help people feel comfortable with themselves. So having the platform that I’ve had for the last couple of years, I’ve been able to help a lot of people, I get a lot of cool messages from people all over the world, thanking me for doing what I’m doing. Which reinforces the fact that it was a good decision to come out.
“The negative being… I guess, really it’s only online. It’s a ridiculous stat but like 100% of all negativity has legitimately just come from either YouTube or Twitter comments. Never once have I experienced anything in person thrown at me, whether physically or I guess mentally. Or verbally, excuse me. So a lot of it’s just internet hate, which I’m fine with because I understand it’s going to happen. There’s internet trolls, there’s people who are going through their own issues and they like to project that onto other people because it’s easy, because they're sitting behind their screen. So, I really don’t read too much into that, but that’s mostly where all the negativity comes from,” Bowens told Fightful in 2019.
Bowens recently went viral on Twitter after sharing a picture of him kissing his boyfriend in front of a same-sex marriage protest.
