I'm sorry, a real man just does not talk like this. A sissy pants man does. A homo does.....I cannot remember in my lifetime EVER saying some nearyly twenty year old man was a "sweetheart" or a "cute" kid. Is that whole neighborhood queer city? The guy (if you look at the pictures of him older instead of the 12 year old boy pictures the media puts out) looks like a frigging punk sissy who needs a frigging haircut.
I read it and assumed the reporters spell-check corrected the gay-lisp.
