As far s I know, Tim Padgett self-identifies as "gay".

Don’t know who Tim Padgett is.

But anyone who characterizes himself as “gay” is either political about it, or justifies his own participation in homosexual behavior. Not everyone with same-sex attraction, or even who indulges in homosexual behavior, is “gay.”

And anyone who uses this terminology to reference all homosexuals is buying into this mindset.

Let me know if you need elaboration on my statements.
