Last month, boxer Yusef Mack was unceremoniously outed as a gay man when fans recognized him in a gay porno. After weeks of denying his sexuality, the 35-year-old athlete is now admitting he’s not only gay but also attracted to transgender women.
In a recent interview with HipHollywood, Mack shares his appreciation for Caitlyn Jenner not just as a fellow member of the LGBT community but also as a potential romantic interest.
“My interest is trannies,” the Philly native shares with a smirk. “I love trannies. I’m attracted to trannies. I don’t like nobody ‘muscle’ like me.”
While Mack’s sentiments were clearly meant to be complimentary, the word “tranny” is often seen as a derogatory term. Considering Mack hopes to be an advocate for the gay community some day, one can only hope he gets some mentorship on more respectful ways to express himself.
Since the scandal of his sex tape made the news, the father of ten children with six different women says his family is still adjusting to finding out about his sexual orientation, particularly his eldest child.
