26. favourite lgbt musician/band

does brendon urie count?? also st vincent. both dont perfer labels… haley kikoyo, troye sivan

27. what is a piece of advice you have for young / baby gays

take your time. labels can be comforting but restrictive. do your research, be a part of the community even if its just as an ally. dont be afraid to experiment! be w a guy, be w a girl, do what you think will help you know what you do and dont like. the hardest part and coming out to yourself.

28. are you out? if so how did you come out

hahhahahhahaaa…. i didnt really come out on my own terms.. i think my friends mom said something to both of my parents lmao! but i didnt specifically say something to her so its kinda my fault ig… my dad just asked me if i was and i was at the point where i was comfortable and there would be no point in lying. my mom is a different story that im not about to think to much into. i was really really sad and didnt want to talk to her in the first place but she tried to comfort me and then outed me out of nowhere?? literally one of my lowest points it was so awful and embarrassing i felt like i couldnt breathe i was so sad and mad and she wouldnt leave me alone. 

29. what is the most uncomfortable / strange coming out experience you have

mom

30. what is a piece of advice for people who may not be in a safe place to express their sexuality

i hate this so much bc what really can you do… personally, stay safe. keep your head down if you have to… its really awful that you have to be cautious in the first place. but dont sacrifice who you are. push the boundaries when you can do so safely. stay strong and see a future where we dont have to be scared ((this is probably really bad advice but i dont know extreme situations… for me its mostly school and certain places in public))

Josh Rosen's No. 1 priority is battling narratives, and so far he's losing

Josh Rosen has the tall task of changing opinions and battling the narrative that he’s selfish and entitled.

Josh Rosen is officially headed to the NFL. The now-former UCLA quarterback announced his decision Wednesday night, tweeting a statement that said he will forgo his senior season and enter the draft, where he’s projected by many to be a top-five selection or possibly even the No. 1 pick.

“Over the last three years, UCLA has helped me grow as an athlete, a scholar, and a member of the community,” Rosen wrote. “I have made some mistakes along the way; however, I am grateful that I made those mistakes backed by such a supportive and positive university, so that I could learn from them and better myself. To the UCLA students, alumni, and fans, I appreciate all of your unwavering support.”

Thankful to be a Bruin http://pic.twitter.com/iph754UL2b

— Josh Rosen (@josh3rosen) January 3, 2018

Like every draft prospect, Rosen now faces four months of poking, prodding, interviews, workouts and evaluations before the 2018 NFL Draft finally begins on April 26. But unlike other players, Rosen’s pre-draft process will revolve around shaking a perceived attitude of entitlement and ego that has followed him since high school.

And even though he didn’t play in the Cactus Bowl in December, his trip to Phoenix for the game was a week that proved how difficult rebuilding that image is going to be for Rosen.

Why are so many concerned about Rosen’s character?

Most, if not all, NFL teams would love it if every quarterback answered every question from the media by saying nothing at all. Not in a Marshawn Lynch “I’m just here so I won’t get fined” kind of way, but with generic statements like “We just have to play our game” and “I need to trust my reads and take what the defense gives me” that turn general managers into the heart eyes emoji.

The most adept and media savvy veterans, like Tom Brady and Drew Brees, can go an entire season without saying or doing anything provocative or even interesting outside of what happens on the field.

Rosen isn’t that quarterback and has never tried to be. During his time at UCLA, he:

Posted a photo of him golfing at one of Donald Trump’s courses, wearing a hat that says “Fuck Trump.”

Spoke frankly with Bleacher Report about the difficulties of being a student athlete. Among the quotes from the interview that picked up traction: “Football and school don't go together” and “Raise the SAT requirement at Alabama and see what kind of team they have.”

Put a hot tub in his freshman dorm, because there wasn’t any rule that said he couldn’t.

He was labeled a spoiled rich kid before he ever took the field for the Bruins. He was the child of two Ivy League parents and a student at St. John Bosco High School — an affluent, private Catholic school in Southern California. He didn’t do much to sway those opinions.

As a highly regarded prospect in high school, he butted heads with former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer at the Nike Elite 11 camp, disagreeing with the Super Bowl-winner’s changes to the playbook given to quarterbacks at the beginning of camp.

“I like being challenged,” Dilfer said, via the Orange County Register. “I don’t mind that stuff. My bigger thing was he thinks he knows more than he knows.”

And so, regardless of any personal growth he’s made in the last three years, his comments are viewed through that frame.

The Cactus Bowl showed the challenges he’ll face

It was impossible not to be impressed with Rosen during the Cactus Bowl Media Day. While a pair of concussions in November kept the quarterback out of action for the bowl game, Rosen carefully and thoughtfully answered every question with tact and deliberate choice of words.

One of his answers to a question about top draft prospects opting to sit out of bowl games went viral:

Today UCLA QB Josh Rosen said he would look at the NFL after the bowl game and when asked about what makes him want to play in the @Cactus_Bowl when other high profile players have skipped bowl games... he had this great answer. #UCLA #CactusBowl http://pic.twitter.com/fArs2leCix

— Chris Lilly (@wibwChrisLilly) December 24, 2017

It’s the kind of astute answer that encapsulates the deep thinker that Rosen is, but it’s also one that can’t be boiled down to a single sound bite. That’s been an issue for the quarterback and it could’ve been again if a full video of his answer hadn’t been posted.

It could’ve been a tweet that summarized his answer with “Players are starting to realize they have a lot of power and they don’t need to be exploited when it’s to their detriment.” While that’s an exact quote from Rosen, it conveys an entirely different meaning without context.

That exact problem came to fruition when another one of Rosen’s answers at the media session grabbed headlines:

UCLA QB Josh Rosen on getting drafted by certain teams, if he comes out this year: “I’d rather be a lower pick at the right team than a higher at the wrong team.”

— Josh Weinfuss (@joshweinfuss) December 26, 2017

That quote — when coupled with reports that he doesn’t want to be a member of the Cleveland Browns — sounds like he’s hoping not to be picked by the team with the first selection. It fueled the notion that he’s an entitled brat who should just be grateful that a team would think highly enough to take him at the top of the draft.

But like all of Rosen’s answers, it came as part of a nuanced response to a question about where he’d prefer to go.

In it, the quarterback said he knows he has a unique personality and that it might not be the right fit for every team. If that means he goes later, then so be it, but he’s more concerned with going to the right place than the earliest place possible. Rosen also said that NFL teams would have a better idea than he would if his disposition works well for their organization.

Later, he elaborated when asked what makes his personality so unique.

“I don’t know. It’s what my coaches tell me. My advice from Coach [Jim] Mora and Coach [Jedd] Fisch was don’t be fake when you talk to people because you don’t want surround yourself with people who enjoy and want to be around a separate self that you’re pretending to be. Be authentic, be real, and that’s one of the biggest piece of leadership advice I’ve ever gotten is to be authentic and be real, because you have to be the same guy every day and it’s hard to be someone you’re not every day.

“When it comes to the draft process, I’m going to be — I’m not going to say anything stupid — but I’m going to be my authentic, true self and hopefully someone in an organization says ‘That’s my guy.’ I’ve gotten along with Coach Fisch really well. Coach Mora really got to know my personality to find a really good coordinator that I’d mesh with, and hopefully in the NFL I find that right team that really thinks like they found a good match for me.”

Nothing about that answer screams cocky or privileged. But it’s verbose and much different than the kind of responses to questions that his crosstown rival Sam Darnold gives:

Sam Darnold is asked how he’d look in a Browns uniform: “Whenever I come out for the NFL, I’d be honored to play for any team.”

— Joey Kaufman (@joeyrkaufman) December 27, 2017

Does Darnold mean that? Would he really be as happy to play for the 0-16 Browns as he would literally anywhere else? It really doesn’t matter. The point is that Darnold’s answer checks the humble and grateful boxes.

It’s narrative-busting time for Rosen

In December, many of Rosen’s teammates at UCLA came to the quarterback’s defense when there were rumors that he was “despised” by players on the team.

“Josh Rosen’s teammates don’t like him” lol ok http://pic.twitter.com/xVqMaQwvLp

— Damon Kecman (@DownWithDamon) December 14, 2017

The months before the NFL draft will likely bring more rumors; it comes with the territory.

Two years ago, cornerback Eli Apple was knocked for his inability to cook — a criticism similar to one Peyton “can’t open a can of soup” Manning received in 1998. Four years ago, Marcus Mariota was deemed too nice to lead a team.

Rosen should expect unnamed scouts to chime in about him too. Even in December, there were anonymously sourced reports about his decision to enter the NFL draft, weeks before he eventually announced his choice. He pushed back against those reports on Twitter:

Please stop reporting false news. I have not made any significant decisions and do not plan on it any time soon. All you guys are doing is making me answer calls and texts from concerned friends and family members.

— Josh Rosen (@josh3rosen) December 7, 2017

There were rumors that Rosen wouldn’t play in the Cactus Bowl because he’d rather prepare for the 2018 NFL Draft instead.

“I want to be clear on this: Josh wanted to play,” UCLA interim coach Jedd Fisch said after the game. “Josh was unable to play because of the fact that he had two concussions over a four-week span in November and our physicians didn’t feel comfortable putting him out there and putting him at risk for the possibility of a third concussion.

“He’s NFL ready. And I think everybody could use another year of college. But yeah, I think he has the ability to go out there and throw any ball to anybody he wants. He has incredible accuracy, he’s incredibly talented and I’m sure if he wants to move on, he’ll be able to do that. If he wants to come back, he’ll help this team.”

It echoed what Rosen and his teammates said about the quarterback’s desire to play in what turned out to be his last game on the UCLA roster.

“I know he’d love to be out here with his team just because he’s done a lot for us and he’s the type of player who fights to get on the field,” UCLA wide receiver Theo Howard. “He fought through stuff this season. Hopefully he has a great future in whatever he does.”

And then there were the reports that he doesn’t want to be picked by the Browns, and would prefer to go to the New York Giants instead. Whether that’s true or false might not matter. Even before he became general manager of the Browns, John Dorsey reportedly had little interest in Rosen.

I don't think Jon Dorsey cares- he was the one we mentioned as saying "stay away" from Rosen before getting the job in Cleveland https://t.co/LgoHOGbYCA https://t.co/W9AT4k7wum

— Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) December 24, 2017

The real importance of the report of Rosen’s uneasiness about Cleveland is what it seems to say about his personality. And he has until April to fight against those narratives to convince teams that he’s worth picking.

Rosen’s arm will win over a team

He doesn’t speak in tired sports clichés like most NFL quarterbacks, but it’s hard to imagine 32 teams finding him toxic. Even after listening to him talk for more than a minute, it’s difficult to see how even one team could think so.

But if executives are uncomfortable with Rosen’s persona, his skills as a passer will win people over. Even with Darnold stealing much of the attention in Los Angeles, draft experts have raved about the UCLA quarterback’s ability.

Todd McShay: #UCLA QB Josh Rosen is "most gifted pocket passer in this class." #GiantsPride http://pic.twitter.com/0Sn0Nj6lUY

— WBG84 (@WBG84) December 25, 2017

.@BuckyBrooks on Josh Rosen: "He's the best pure passer I've seen in the draft in sometime. In the right system, he'll be a better pro than Sam Darnold." "Has a high football IQ." #GiantsPride #UCLA http://pic.twitter.com/849i4KmzEL

— WBG84 (@WBG84) December 5, 2017

“Physically, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Rosen’s game,” ESPN’s Todd McShay said.

Rosen is a 6’4 pocket passer with the arm strength to connect on the deep ball and rare accuracy that allows him to make any and every throw necessary to succeed in the NFL. He made plenty of poor decisions that led to interceptions, but he also wasn’t helped by a UCLA offense that consistently allowed pressure and dropped passes.

The biggest question for NFL teams, though, will be their comfort level with a quarterback who hasn’t been afraid to speak his mind and answer questions more truthfully than most. Rosen has until April to win those decision-makers over.

December was proof that even when he says nothing objectionable at all, he has an uphill climb to change opinions.
