With all due respect to the ladies, that woman is obscuring my view--movie aside!

[S. Flemming]

Thank God he is beautiful ... because he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

[Distant Lover]

My point exactly! Why do they have to pair that magnificient body with that pale, anorexic white chick? He is the main dish, they could have taken that scrawny piece of fish off the plate!!!

[Freeman]

love mehcad

smh @ lslh

[COLLIER]

YES ITS ABOUT TIME ROD 2.0 SHOWCASED SOME INTERRACIAL!!!

YES!!!!

[Baltimore Femme]

what everyone else is saying. gawd mehcad is soo sexy but can we see him?

[Jaco]

Oh Yes precious thing cannot act for anything bless his heart but Mehcad can do no wrong in my books )

[Reggieh]

This is soft porn -- BRAVO GQ!!:)

[Black Pegasus]

Mehcad is the epitome of male Black Beauty. But it hurts my Heart when I realize that he wouldn't date a woman who LOOKS like my sister or his mother.

So you'll can have him, Slim Thug, Taye Diggs, Chris Brown, and all of the other goons who won't date women with darker hues of skin.

THIS MAN IS SO PHYNE IT ACHES!

Collier, why is it "about time" that a black man who runs a black gay blog "showcase interracial." God bless my sisters and brothers of every race, creed and orientation but just because we are a Universal planet DOES NOT MEAN that you can't fully and completely love yourself and your own.

It's always so intriguing to me that some people see it as somehow not as Universal if white people aren't involved.

It's not about time. It's about love and if the people involved are all Black, all Gay, all Lesbian, all Straight, all perceiving to be the "same," then WE must dig deeper to know them. If it's just about different "shades," we can see EVERY SHADE WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

It's a shame that in order to be seen as a leading man (of sorts) for GQ, his leading lady couldn't be a woman of color.

But in my world, it would have been a beautiful man with him, so different strokes for different folks and THANK GOD FOR THAT!

[Cafflo]

OMG the love of my life I miss him on True Blood... Why did they have to kill Eggs?!

[Jim J]

RevKev, you know it's a no-win situation. If he poses only with a person of color, one group complains; if he poses with a caucasian, a different group complains. Someone is going to complain no matter what!

[Hector]

What is SHE doing with MY man?

[ff]

there's a woman in the picture? i didnt notice.

and her color is irrelevant. Mehcad is the only thing that matters.

i may have to stalk him when he comes back to town

[TheRevKev]

ff,
you are CRAZY and i love it: WAIT? WHAT? THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE PHOTO WITH HIM? I CAN'T SEE IT! LOL

So true, Jim J. Lord, the more we grow, the more we groan...LOL.

[ELISHUS DONLEY]

WHAT IT IS THE BROTHER IS JUST THAT DAN GOOD THAT IT !! CASE CLOSE. IT IS WHAT IT IS WILL SOME BODY JUST SAY IT P.DONLEY (WE OUT)

[thegaytekeeper]

HE TOTALLY SHINES IN THESE PHOTOS!

[Isis]

Dear GQ,

Next time put him in the photo spread alone, LOL! These pictures have opened up a can of UNECESSARY worms! I just want to see that beautiful chocolate man without all the "WHO SHOT JOHN". Who cares who else is in the picture! My focus was on him anyway.

Thx for the posting these Rod!

@ RevKev
Your eloquence and intelligence is absolutely astounding. Whether you knew it or not, your words have helped me on various occasions. I just wanted to let you know that.

[apres moi]

To those who are complaining about seeing him with a white woman, please watch Season 2 of True Blood. He's with Tara throughout the season and they both do a couple of hot sex scenes, where you definitely see his ass.

[TheRevKev]

@ Isis, I am so humbled by and grateful for your words. I am doing what God has called me to do and the words are God speaking through me. I love you sister.

[MickWW]

Lord, thank you for such a beautiful creation.

[cullen]

I'm so glad RevKev said what he did because I was about to explode. Kudos RevKev!

[MW09]

Um....I actually love the woman in the spread! Her name is Emanuela de Paula and she's actually half-black and from Brazil. I thought they were perfectly matched...guess I'm the only one.

[RyanG]

i love my cousin!!! He is the best !!!!!YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! Mechad!!!!

[Ron]

Thank god the more fitted look is in. I still hate going to the beach and seeing board shorts that come down to someone's knees. If you have the body to pull it off, I love to see swim trunks on a guy that are about 4 inches above the knee and fitted. Not super tight, but fitted. He is too sexy!!!
