Controversial ex-Bachelor Colton Underwood might have struggled for years with his sexuality but now that he is proudly out he knows a thing or two about being a gay man. Releasing a series of black and white photos, many of which are shirtless, Underwood knows what the gays want. If the objective or goal of the photoshoot was to rehab his image and start getting support from the queer community, it just might work!

The photos taken at the home of Nicola Formichetti were shot by Damon Baker. Formichetti released the photos on his Instagram. The photo succeeds in showing Underwood in a different light. One photo is almost a mirror image of gay icon George Michael. Another has him standing naked holding a leather jacket in a way so as not to give away the goods!

Whether or not you are a fan of Underwood, the photos are beautifully shot and Underwood is HOT. Underwood came out publicly in April on Good Morning America, after competing on The Bachelorette and then becoming The Bachelor. Underwood has spoken at length about the struggles with sexuality telling Robin Roberts,
“I’ve ran from myself for a long time, I’ve hated myself for a long time. I’m gay, and I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it. The next step in all of this was sort of letting people know.”
Underwood will soon be seen in a new Netflix show that chronicles his coming-out journey, alongside Gus Kenworthy acting as his “guide.” Saying that the reactions from the queer community are mixed, would be putting it nicely.
However, no one is as forgiving as the gay community especially when it comes to how, when, and why people come out. So, maybe there is hope for Underwood. These photos are a great start, hey I am starting to like him a tiny bit more!

I’m happy he’s out and finally comfortable in his own skin … but …
he’s done NOTHING to EARN anyone’s attention, certainly NOTHING for the LGBTQ community, beyond being eye candy.
His past needs conciliation, meaning he must publicly retract his prior comments on LGBTQ rights AND he needs to do a LOT of good work helping further LGBTQ rights, to offset the damage he’s done.
Seriously, he’s just another pretty face in a sea of pretty faces.
Not a fan!!! He’s a deceiving liar. Go away!
He is a fake ass, lying, bitch who wants every one to be welcoming and complimentary that he decided to come out and give him warm hugs. Nobody is buying your desperate act. You have made awful and terrible remarks about gay people in the past and now you want us to embrace you? Go enjoy your little 5 minutes of flame and hopefully you will disappear so we don’t have to hear your name again.
It’s what happens in small towns and coming to terms with it
He looks like a complete fool. Just remember, right before he uh, came out, he lied to get on t.v. wanted to save himself for marriage, claimed to have these great christian beliefs, believed gay people should be denied rights and that gay people were sinner’s. Now he is like, look at me and my smile, im now gay, it was so hard to come out, let me be your next poster boy. Sit the fuck down, shut up, and go away. This clown is the LAST person I want representing the gay community. Get lost and fuck off.
These photos are so heavily edited it doesn’t even look like him
Uh……nope! His hunger for attention is nauseating. He needs to take a seat, a long one!
I agree 100%. Sit down for while.
