Kit Butler (model)

I really love Kit’s whole vibe. I hope he is gay but ironically it seems male models are mostly straight and kinda of homophobic. He’s all over the place though, in some pics he tries to be super heterosexual and then in other photos he really allows the photographer or stylist to push the envelope-which I think most straight men would refuse to do. He seems to have alot of gay men in fashion that he tags for campaigns but never seems to socially support them for pride, birthdays or anniversary’s if they post stuff and he never likes posts from gay followers including influencers. He also has a history of using pretty homophobic slurs (fa**ot) in his past posts but he has hopefully grown out of it. I’m curious to see what he looks like in 5-10 years- British guys can sometimes age poorly.

He is an ally, never seen him be homophobic. Strange that you’ve seen him use the f slur when was this???

He has used the f word on his facebook page but that was like 10 years ago, he was around 15 years old. Not saying it's ok to say it at that age but teenagers can be really inmature.

All we know is that he used to have a girlfriend in 2020 (blonde with big boobs) and that his close friends are all straight guys.
 
He’s likely very straight but so many young straight teens unfortunately use the f word when they’re young because they’re brought up in a homophobic household / community where using the f word is normalized. I’m not saying it’s ok, but if it was many years ago when he was young then I can understand it.

He’s now a successful model in the fashion world and traveling to different cities full of liberal progressives, so I highly doubt he's homophobic or even conservative. He is constantly surrounded by gay people who pay his salary so I’m sure his views have matured and if he was ever conservative then I’m sure he has become progressive.

Eh.... He could be very well still more on the conservative side. Not necessarily homophobic, but a lot of these models are still the expected demographic for conservative views (ie young white males) so just being models isn't gonna necessarily change that. But it's a case by case thing I guess. I've come across models of all stripes

I hear you. I have lots of friends in the fashion industry and have gone to parties where I’ve met highly successful models (more successful than Kit) who came from nothing and they are so grateful and humble for what they have now. Pretty sure they know they’d be nowhere without gay men in their lives.

There are mid level gay male models who have had national campaigns that have publicly said the male models in the industry are very homophobic.

I think many gay guys start with a gf and lots of gay men have straight guy friends. That gf was suspect, she’s a bit much she’s all over social media. She dropped out of college to be influencer. She looks more like she’s in porn than in fashion. Her new bf looks really blue collar. In one of her blogs when she was still dating kit she said they got Disney+ so they could watch all the highschool musical’s. Do straight guys binge high-school musical? I was more intrigued that people in England get Disney+

Gay models like Barrett Pall on their instagram have said they faced a lot of homophobia from other gay models and Quertty and other gay pubs have written about it.
Barrett Pall has very limited experience and he is not what I would consider a super experienced fashion model. He is short, has barely walked runway or appeared in major campaigns, and he has a very limited profile of work.

I think the fashion industry is problematic in a lot of ways and it’s not that I doubt Barrett’s personal experiences, but given his lack of experience I wouldn’t entirely trust his blanket statement that most male models are homophobes.

Barrett Pall is not a reliable source for anything tbh. He always seems to have a social or political agenda with everything he does. Definitely not going to take his word alone for anything.

The industry def has some baked in homophobia in general, but I'm not sure I've ever heard that models themselves are particularly homophobic, moreso some industry people behind the scenes perpetuate homophobic attitudes at times, even gay ones

I thought it was maybe because the photographers etc exploit or challenge the models masculinity that maybe they project some homophobia onto fellow models because nobody is going to bit the hand that feeds them. It wasn’t just Barrett pall I think it was also Taylor Phillips who talked about it.
