Until now, over 1.8 million people joined by Steve Grand's bittersweet love story on YouTube. Hetero-homo: 1-0
So what happens in the video? A gay man (Grand) falls for another man, the all-American boy. The two go on a road trip, albeit with the man's female lover, and sharing a kiss when nude bathing. But back around the campfire is the budding romance over. The all-American boy prefers kate clapp women anyway. Grand're left with a broken heart. No and no.
The more times you see the video increases questions. Is it possible that this unknown nightclub singer just got lucky? That he accidentally hit a nerve with a global audience kate clapp with a video made by volunteers? Grand seems genuinely surprised by his success.

But Grand'm not talking about gay game interviews. Coincidence? Or clever marketing? Not so innocent after all
