I'm embarrassed to say I forgot that Hank was bisexual! And I do know how much you talk about them, that's why I was half-expecting John at least to make your shortlist (but you had so many good men to choose from, which is a nice problem to have). I often think John Green is a Mr. Rogers for this generation, and I've loved his vulnerability in talking about and taking time for his own mental health, being very real about his own response to Hank's cancer, and so many other things. Such a great role model of how to be a SWM without being an asshole.
Great piece! When it comes to real men in the public eye, I feel like the Green brothers have to make the list of good masculine role models, too.
Absolutely! Though Hank is bisexual! (And also I talk about them constantly, The People Know 😛)
