Andy Cohen, the openly gay host of
Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, and Ben Cohen, the UK rugby
star, urge fans not to bully others.
In a one-minute-thirty-two-second video
released last week, the pair say bullying is not “cool.”
“I'm straight,” says Ben.
“And I'm gay,” says Andy.
“So, we're different, but not so
much,” Andy says. “We're friends that like some of the same
things, but we're different and that's totally cool.”
“What's not cool is when people bully
others for being different from them,” Ben says.
“Totally agree, man,” Andy adds.

The handsome, six-foot-two Ben is the
star of the Sale Sharks club and has previously said he's happy to be
a sex symbol to gay men.
“I embrace diversity more than just a
gay fanbase,” the
married father of two told UK gay sports magazine Compete.
“I am happy and content in my life and feel that everyone should
have the opportunity of feeling that way and being true to
themselves.”

Cohen has been nominated for a NewNowNext award in the Cause You're
Hot category.
