Gay influencer Sam Cushing is facing backlash from fans after he issued a half-hearted apology for flying abroad.
Cushing, who has more than 500,000 followers on Instagram, has a huge LGBT+ fanbase – but many felt let down when they discovered that he was one of many gay men who travelled to Mexico ahead of New Year’s Eve despite rising coronavirus hospitalisations.
