Meet Art Bezrukavenko, the man who’s interviewed more twinks than Grindr on Pride weekend. After years of man-on-the-street kikis in Fire Island, P-Town, and WeHo, Art says he’s noticed a pattern gays need to clock. The “protector” friend. You know the one. The guy who wasn’t asked to be interviewed but suddenly speaks for everyone. Art says it’s not protection, it’s jealousy. Moral of the story? If a friend keeps blocking your shine, that’s not safety… that’s a cockblock.
