Ahmar Mustikhan, who describes himself on his Twitter account as the “first openly gay man on earth from Balochistan,” a province in Pakistan that borders Iran and Afghanistan with a pro-independence movement, asked Bowser the question during a ribbon cutting ceremony of the city’s first shelter for homeless LGBTQ adults.

Too bad he didn't learn any manners before moving to America.


Agree.
I’d add that since being the “first openly gay man on earth from Balochistan” suggests that he’s at least somewhat familiar with the potential consequences of being out, it’s awful that he would attempt to publicly do this to someone else — particularly when he likely has little idea of the potential long term consequences for Bowser and her family in his grab for his 10 seconds of relative “ fame”.


Wow. I just checked out his Twitter - which is full of his own comments focused on Bowser and his assumptions about her sexuality. What an odious toad.

I know it was inappropriate but the video was funny and her response was, too.

Found a good clip summarizing, which includes the question, there is a commercial though.

I thought it was a joke. I could not believe it.
