Arrow star's Pride posts flooded with anti-gay hate

Arrow star Stephen Amell’s Instagram account has been engulfed with anti-gay comments after he posted pictures of himself enjoying Vancouver’s Pride parade.

Amell, who last year hit back at people who left anti-gay comments on his Facebook page, shared three Pride photos with his followers, including one in which he wore a shirt saying: “I’m not gay, but $20 is $20.”

Tens of thousands of people attended the parade, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but while most of the comments on Amell’s posts were positive, a large minority were hateful.

He has been very supportive of his gay co-stars!
