|Title=I never thought about my foreskin until I came to America
|Text=As well as campaigning for LGBTQ+ equality and HIV [[ ]] charities, Cumming is outspoken against male circumcision.
<q>I never thought anything about my [[foreskin]],</q> he says, <q>and then I came to America and I was having sex and people would just be gasping because they’d never seen a foreskin before. I was made to feel weird and freakish because I had an [[intact ]] body.</q>
<q>It’s genital mutilation. And I think people say: <q>Oh, that’s hysterical.</q> But we do it to girls and it’s called genital mutilation.</q> As for the religious grounds for circumcision, he believes these are “ridiculous”: <q>We choose to keep doing some things and we just let the weirdest things go.</q>
