(Tyler Oakley is a little more fabulous than Connor or Troye...)
Can't. People like that make me cringe. Probably because of not being comfortable in my skin.
Try Connor Franta or Troye Sivan. Watching their videos, you wouldn't even know they are gay from their personalities. It is just a matter of fact for them. Their videos are not about being gay. Their videos are about life and having fun and sharing with the world. Try it out.
The point is that until you see what people look like who are comfortable in their own skin, you'll never be able to cognitively accept that it is possible for you. Exposure therapy, of a type. Just try it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
