Pete Davidson has earned quite the bad boy reputation over the span of his young career in comedy.
But those who’ve met the Staten Island comedian might paint a much more flattering image of him.
He’s ‘such a good ally’ to the LGBTQ community, according to a contestant on the remote season 12 reunion special of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which aired Friday on VH1.

Davidson previously gave a shoutout to his gay friends in his Netflix standup special Alive From New York, which premiered in February.
He prefaced: ‘I have, um, I have a lot of gay friends. I like my gay friends ’cause I don’t think there’s like a more honest relationship between, like, a gay dude and a straight dude, ’cause there’s just like nothing to gain, you know, so it’s just pure honesty.’
But the King of Staten Island actor said there’s always one guy that he doesn’t think is gay at all.
He joked: ‘It’s that gay dude that’ll like run up on your girlfriend, and like squeeze her boobs, and like slap her ass, and be like, “Damn girl, you look great!”
‘I don’t find that f***ing funny like at all, I’m sorry. Like, I’m all for gayness, you know. It doesn’t mean I’m against gayness. It’s just like you just get to slap a** on a technicality?’

Davidson had a whirlwind engagement with gay icon Ariana Grande from June to October of 2018, before their infamous split.
He’s since had a very active dating life, moving on to flings with Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley and Kaia Gerber.
Although he’s made only a few recent appearances on SNL, his love life has become somewhat of a running joke on the show, along with his mental health struggles.
The Suicide Squad star said on Live Your Truth: ‘I personally think I should be done with that show because they make fun of me on it.’
He added: ‘I’m like, cold open, political punchlines. I’m like, weekend update jokes. When I’m not there, they’ll be like, “Huh huh huh, Pete’s a f***ing jerk face.” And you’re like, “Whose side are you on?”
Davidson joined the cast of the popular NBC sketch comedy show back in 2014, and he’s appeared on the past six seasons.
