No-one wants to read bad things about themselves, things that are threats and violent and scary and homophobic.”I also took it with a grain of salt. I couldn’t imagine writing something like that about someone, especially on a public forum, anyone who does that has something wrong with them.”I think I’m on the right side.”GB’s Kenworthy receives death threats for anti-ICE post
