The man in question was Timm Hanly, an Australian TV personality, who was eating ice cream when approached by Stanley. The influencer asked why he was there, and Hanly explained that he was straight and was there just for the “vibes.”
Hanly added that his family was visiting from Australia, and it was their second day in the city. Stanley then asked how he felt when he got hit on by a gay man, and Hanly took the opportunity to explain his point of view.
“Let’s say I’m walking down the street and a gay guy is looking at me. It’s as good as a girl looking at me. It counts. It’s as good for my ego as a hot girl looking at me,” said Hanly, making Stanley laugh.
The video quickly went viral, with many people saying that Hanly was the perfect example of an ally to the LGBTQ+ cause. “I think a lot of people loved it because there was no toxic masculinity,” Stanley told Upworthy.
“He was just a guy who stumbled upon something gay and admired it for what it was, with no hostility involved. Something we need more of. My favorite response was when he said he was [there] just for the ‘vibes,'” added the influencer.
In the comments of the video, Hanly received much praise. “This is what really comfortable and secure masculinity looks like,” one said. “Tim is a green flag,” said another. “A real man. Not feeling threatened at all. Incredible,” commented a third.
