Perhaps BRO will draw some men that may have self-denial or internalized homophobia, but everyone has their own issues to work out, and I don’t see why BRO can’t help them as well. But, we've found that men are more polite and mature to each other when they're not hidden behind anonymous user names, fake profile photos and sexuality labels. Our app currently requires that you connect through your Facebook, and this can be difficult for some people. We are also one of the first apps that caters specifically to men that actually encourages non-anonymity. With many apps focused on sexual binaries and anonymous hookups, I want BRO to stand out as being a high quality app that helps men - no matter how they may identify sexually - make meaningful connections that last more than just one night. What do you want people to take away from this app experience? BRO is a place for both without judgement. They may come off as stereotypically effeminate, or they may seem what critics call "straight acting," and more in line with how society defines masculine. Men have the right to express their masculinity however they'd like. I believe that masculinity and sexuality can be mutually exclusive. A bro can be a friend, a brother, or in some cases, a life partner. I chose the name BRO because I believe a bro is someone you can count on to be there for you. Our goal is to move beyond the "hookup culture" and be inclusive of more than just "gay" men. It gives men the opportunity to explore without feeling burdened by the need to identify in one way or another.īRO is a safe space for men to express and embrace their sexuality. The intention of BRO is to complicate the idea that people’s sexual preferences are simple and clearly defined.
BRO is an app that honors this complexity by giving men the opportunity to think about their sexuality without feeling the need to fall into any particular group or category. In our culture we have a tradition of identifying people through particular categories: straight, gay, or bi (and it is rare that we accept that men can be bisexual at all). Human sexuality is complex and nuanced - more so than our society’s vision of it comprehends. Why the avoidance of labels when it comes to sexual orientation? Why is this important to you? However, Bro is also a place for men who may not be sure of their sexuality or who want a safe place to express it without judgment or fear and that means they may identify as "straight." Our typical demographic will likely be men that identify as gay looking to meet other men for friendship or dating, and not straight men looking for sex like some media outlets have proclaimed. Scott Kutler: My vision is that BRO will act as a social network where men can find other men to make meaningful connections beyond just hooking up or random sex. The premise of this rumor was repurposed in September 2017 for a fake CNN news article which claimed that two looters (now named James Tobbes and Michael Smith) were sodomized after breaking into a home during Hurricane Irma.The Huffington Post: What is your vision for the BRO app? Who do you envision using it and for what purpose? The image purportedly showing Harry “The Wolfman” Harrington had been circulating online since at least 2009, and one of the mugshots purportedly showing either “Garfield Morgan” or “Kim Gorton” actually depicted a man named Michael Patrick Kelly who was arrested in 2004 for lewd conduct with a minor. In addition to the story’s dubious source, the photographs included with it were also suspect. The newspaper clipping shown above originated with the Sunday Sport, a British tabloid that publishes a mixture of softcore pornography, gossip, and outlandish stories such as “Donkey Robs Bank,” and “Aliens Turned Our Son Into a Fish Finger.” Police only intervened after a neighbor heard the men’s cries for help and called them.
Harrington, known as ‘ The Wolfman‘, easily overpowered the men, tied them up and assaulted them for five full days. But that’s just what Morgan and Gorton did that fateful night. An aggressive and predatory offender, he’s not the kind of man you want to annoy.
He’s a notorious gay s*x predator who has served time in jail for numerous sexual assaults. Harry Harrington is 6’7″ and weighs over 300lbs. But it’s unlikely they’ll go back to crime after the nasty episode they experienced in the home of one Florida man… Garfield Morgan, 54, and his 36 year old accomplice friend Kim Gorton are both career burglars, having stolen from hundreds of homes in their lives. Two burglars got more than they bargained for recently after picking the wrong house to break into. In October 2016, viral entertainment web sites such as published articles positing that two burglars had been sodomized for five straight days after they broke into the house of a “notorious gay sex predator” named Harry Harrington:
