Yeah these were posted on one of the empire threads. He has a nice dick. I assume he is gay in real life? That seems to be the consensus.

I also want naked pictures and gay confirmation of Rafael de la Fuente who plays his hot boyfriend.

Nope, amazingly enough stereotypes are just stereotypes. The majority of black men are not huge.

Maybe an average penis slightly larger than others, but that's about it.

He was on Out's recent list of most eligible bachelors.

And, he was just on Sway in the Morning talking about Empire and he made some "it's all out there, I'm living my life, but I don't talk about my personal life" line, which made it sound like "yes, I'm gay, but I'm not gonna tell you, outright."

He's been in gay films and he has a lot of pics with known gays from the black gay blogosphere.

Dustin Ross (if that's who you're referring to as Jussie's boyfriend) is not ugly and he's certainly no homothug. He has his own YouTube channel and there's nothing remotely "thug" about him. Yeah, he has tattoos, but that doesn't make one a "thug." He's quite articulate and educated.

He does video commentaries like Funky Dineva and JustinJ on pop culture, but he's not over the top like those two. I don't even think he's dating Jussie; I think they're just friends because the two did a movie together playing a gay couple.

Howard is so good in this--but Smollett is even better.

His singing is one of the high points of the production--and a "star-maker," as well.

He's allegedly a top. I think he's a sweetheart but his vibrato is way too much. He has that Trey Songz sound.

by Anonymousreply 141March 30, 2015 12:37 PM

I think he's a better singer than Trey Songz. Songz is pitchy as fuck when he sings live. Jussie's strength is in his falsetto, but I agree, his vibrato is grating to the ears. He may need a vocal coach to help him work on that, so he doesn't sound like a billygoat.

What I like about Jussie is that he's a bit of a homothug, and we see a lot of that side in Jamal in the latter episodes of Empire. Don't like his light-skinned pretty boy looks fool you; Jussie looks like the type of dude you wouldn't want to cross. Like he would straight up crack you over the head with a malt liquor bottle if you piss him off.

The chicks at LSA are pretty confused what to make of him because he's openly gay but very masculine. I think this is why so many of them think he's bisexual than gay; he doesn't fit any of the classic stereotypes that you see in mainstream media depicting gay men. It's refreshing to see someone like Jussie shattering all the illusions people have of gay men, particularly gay black men.

You really think so, r146?

I thought his appearance on Ellen put paid to that.

He just wouldn't allow himself to state the obvious--but made it clear that he has never been "in a closet" about the way he lives his life.

He's a very talented, very young man--with lots of potential--probably surrounded by 10-percenters who are advising him to keep things on the downlow.

He seems to be trying to be discreet about his private life (the nude pix notwithstanding LOL), while being true to himself.

Bottom line: he's probably got men AND women throwing themselves at him.

by Anonymousreply 147March 30, 2015 2:06 PM

I don't think he's tap dancing around his sexuality. It IS embarassing that he's done that "I'm not going to say it" thing, which everyone and their grandmother interprets as "gay". Admittedly, it does allow tumblr fangirls to label him everything from "pansexual" to "asexual", but they'd probably do that anyway as part of their "shipping" shenanigans.

And how is this for fucking bravery SMH. @10:04

There’s numerous other examples but I’m not that petty. Also he didn’t publicly come to Yoba’s defence for the alleged “outing”which was a cunt move on Jussie’s part particularly considering theres a video from Dec 2014 wherein Terrence Howard explicitly states that jussie is an out homosexual

I like him as a man. And his presence in the AA community and beyond is nothing but positive. But he’s proved to have no where near the bravery or integrity as his character.

Damn, R156, you're dragging his ass in this thread! I love the guy, too, but those examples are embarrassing.

Indeed, a lot of female posters at LSA feel that he's bisexual for the very reasons you're pointing out. Remember, he doesn't believe in labels or categories!!! ;) A lot of the so-called post-gays/bisexual chant this mantra nonstop.

But let's give him credit that he doesn't dance around his sexuality the way Jack Falahee does whenever someone is curious about it.

Trai is the stud of the show. I am happy for Jussie though. He could be the first male gay black music superstar.

I can't get behind the name "Jussie". It's too juvenile. He should try "Jusorah".

by Anonymousreply 159March 30, 2015 6:30 PM

It's disgusting how he doesn't mind heterosexual related questions, yet skirt around gay related questions. That is what I have an issue with. If he's bi, fine, if he's gay fine.. whatever he is, it's fine. BUT when he denies talking about a part of himself.. yeah I see that as offensive and insulting.

by Anonymousreply 160March 30, 2015 6:32 PM

This man is hardly a hero or role model. If he was proud and out he could have made a real impact. He could have set an example, he could have been a role model for gay kids, especially those who are POC. But no.. instead he's in this middle ground, fact is we don't know what he is, and people keep questioning whether he's gay or bisexual. That's not at all heroic to me.

r161, he doesn't have to be same-sex loving in the way you are or want him to be. You seem very intolerant of the diversity among same-gender oriented people.

R162, talking about same sex attraction seems to be a big no-no to him while he has no trouble talking about heterosexual attraction, that's what I don't like. If he really is bi, then I have no problem with that. I still think it's hypocritical of him to refuse to talk about that side of himself. He's hiding it almost as if it's something shameful.

Gee.

Wonder why the ambitious, up-and-coming actor who plays a gay character on the biggest TV show in years--where said character is routinely referred to as "f*gg*t, by the characters of his mother and father--refuses to be pinned down by the labeling of his own sexuality?

Jussie is bright--with a bright future. He's also not blind or foolhardy. He may not be an example of a "hero," or role model, to some--but for the time being he is lucratively employed.

At the end of the day, Jamal is a fictional character. Jussie is smart to want to maintain a firewall between his personal and professional lives.

by Anonymousreply 166March 30, 2015 9:39 PM

Jussie is alright with me. Yes he is part of the new school homosexuals that have never lived in the closet.

r164 straight celebs keep their business private too. Beyonce didn't speak on her relationship with Jay for years. She is more open now.

When guys are like this they usually have someone they want to keep closeted, Jussie is likely involved with a guy who is not out, hell he might even be a celebrity. Ill go out on a limb and say his lover is probably on the masculine side as well. And we all know how coveted trade is. Im sure Jussie doesn't want some queens coming for his man, ok?

I do need Jussie to check his homegurl Raven though. She has really put her foot in her mouth with this Michelle Obama thing. I hope he doesn't start acting out like that.

I can't tell if this was explained upthread or not, so here goes:

How Jussie got his name

"My father wanted to name me Jesse, after Jesse Jackson, my mom wanted to name me Justice, so they combined the two and named me Jussie. And they smoked a lot of weed."

There's that fine line between wanting people to get to know you through your talent versus your talent being defined through your sexual orientation.

There's also a fine line between being a sellout versus being someone who wants to fit in.

Frank Ocean, Michael Sam, Jason Collins, now Jussie Smollett ... all popular black men trailblazing in a way white celebrities have yet to do. Especially since they say homophobia is rife in the black community. Last I checked, Aaron Rodgers and James Franco are not out.

[quote] Any gay man can tell you when a girl is fine. Jussie is another Frank Ocean.

Didn't Frank Ocean admit in that coming-out article that he's bisexual? I do agree with the comparison; Jussie has a lot in common with Frank personality wise. I'm starting to agree with those Jussie fangirls at Lipstick Alley that Jussie leans more on the bi side. He talks about women in the same manner of a straight dude that's so horny over pussy he can't wait to smash it. But you rarely hear him talk this way about another dude. He likes to keep that side of himself on the hush-hush.

I guess I can see some folks frustration with his behavior, but I can't say this is the first time I've seen a likely bisexual guy act this way. I agree with R166 that Jussie has to walk a fine line with his image if he wants to be gainfully employed and successful in the industry. His activism and support for the LGBT community should speak for itself.

I've watched a couple of his solo interviews and he's never talked this way? Maybe someone can tell us where he's talked about women like that. He might be one of those guys that likes vagina, but doesn't like women like that. Guys turn him on, so he likes ass now.

by Anonymousreply 176March 31, 2015 3:04 PM

There's a video posted in this thread, the one where he's on the Steve Harvey radio show, talking about how hot Taraji P. Henson looks wearing a particular dress on Empire. If I didn't know anything about his sexuality, I would have thought he was a straight dude the way he was carrying on. I've been around many so-called straight-acting black gays, and I've never heard them describe a woman's sex appeal like that.

Jussie: And I will say that Taraji wears this red dress... [reflects for a moment] Lawd Jeez-us, it's real! Hey, that ain't my mama! I can look! Lemme tell you something: Jamal can't look at Cookie, but Jussie can look at Taraji! Shoooot. Cookie-cakes? C'mon, now!

So yeah, he seems bisexual to me. When he talks about her sex appeal, he speaks about it like a guy that wants to hit it. Keep in mind, he never admitted that he was gay; he said that he was never in the closet.

Have you ever seen or listened to Steve Harvey? Jussie's comments were playing to his audience. Do you think Harvey could sit still listening to a guy saying how hot he gets for Terrance Howard's tiny dick or how lost he gets in his male co-star's dreamy eyes? He is as gay as can be.

I like Jussie and think he's a good singer but I'd like him to add some more muscle and personally I think he looks better with hair rather than having a shaved head.

by Anonymousreply 188April 4, 2015 8:16 PM

I like him with hair also, but I understand the shaved look is more raw for his character. His body is already very nicely toned. He could be jacked but I think that would distract us from his acting lol.

But they really need to lightened up his vibrato, Lord it is killing me! I had to fast forward through his singing. I dont even think people can naturally sing with that much vibrato, so I know the audio people are mixing his voice WAY too much. But he is a good singer.

by Anonymousreply 189April 4, 2015 9:12 PM

Jussie is an example of the new breed of gay celebrity that doesn't necessarily want to be GLAAD posterboys. He was never in the closet. The black gays have known about Jussie since The Skinny. Unless you're talentless Michael Sam (I love the guy but he'll never be in the NFL and is now pretty much a Professional Gay), if ur gay and well-known for a talent, you just want to stick to that talent.

The Frank Oceans, Zachary Quintos, and even Anderson Coopers of the world are very, VERY careful not to be sucked in by the sycophantic HRC/GLAAD crowd. It's OK that they want to be professionals and not posterboys.

Raven is the reason many people knew about him before Empire. The blogs made Jurnee's big bro and Raven an item years ago because they were photoed together, but word got around online that he wasn't straight and they were just friends. Then Raven came out and it was pretty much cased closed that Jussie was gay too.

This is why a lot of closeted guys don't come out, we make comments like this about each other. Adding to the hyper-sexual stereotype of gay men is not helping.
