As a result, I&#8217;ve had to read some dumbass comments from people saying that Pharrell is &#8220;gay&#8221; for wearing &#8220;girl&#8221; boots.

So, once again, I will complain that folks these days are soooo fucking uptight. Being freaked out by a pair of shoes? Honestly? Someone take me back to the 1970s, when rock stars wore skintight jumpsuits. Y&#8217;all need to learn to let your freak flag fly.
