āI donāt think thereās a more honest relationship between a gay dude and a straight dude, because thereās just nothing to gain,ā Davidson jokes. āItās just pure honesty.”
In the trailer for his new standup premiering on Netflix,Ā PeteĀ Davidson: Alive From New York,Ā the SNL cast member talks about his friendships with gay men. Ā Davidson further elaborates about gay men who play flirt with women. Ā
Davidson says, “You just get to slap that (woman’s) ass on a technicality. Ā That’s not fucking fair at all.”
Davidson’s joke has come under criticism on Twitter with some claiming it is a 1980s attitude towards gay men.
I thought these jokes were really funny when I first heard Eddie Murphy do them in 1983. I was 11.

The hungometer!
I can only speak for myself, but I don’t find anything Pete said in the trailer mean-spirited, homophobic or the like. And here’s the good news for the closed-minded people, you don’t have to watch it.
Why the tattoos? š He’s a cute guy but shirtless it’s like looking at a Picasso on crack. I think he’s got a big D though. I can feel it. š
