Michelle only supports equal rights when it involves people she likes. She doesn't like Perez and decided to use him as an educational tool to show the world what a 'bad gay' looks like. And as a member of the LGBT community myself I found that totally reckless, especially when she claims to be the voice of 'my people'.
I've had countless people tell me I'm ungrateful for feeling the way I do about Michelle, but I'm not going to applaud a heterosexual for thinking being gay okay is acceptable. It's 2015 and I expect that from people.
And lastly, I've been questioning Michelle's sincerity ever since she was weeping about her fight for LGBT rights in the same breath as worrying Perez had taken 'her' place in the final.
