“Let me break it down for you,” Williams said, laying out his worldview. “Gay people? Great. Poor people? Get a fucking job. Poor gay people? No opinion.”

“Listen, I have plenty of gay friends,” remarked Williams, who has both a pride flag and a vineyard vines sticker on his laptop. “My girlfriend kissed another girl once. Gay people don’t bother me. It’s poor people I can’t stand. I don’t get why they can’t just work hard.”

“Poor gay people on the other hand…” he trailed off, lost in thought. “I’m not sure. I just don’t know.”

At press time, Williams confirmed that he felt equally ambivalent about poor people of color and poor women.
