James Vaughan is dating Jonathan Bennett

Dammit should say Jaymes.

Such a stupid spelling

Somebody got fat.

I just turned straight.

Truly tragic.

This site is just sad anymore. No wit, banter or humor of any kind. Just miserable losers who hate for hate's sake.

who?

Just bros being hos.

I though that was his trainer?

What a lovely view.

I don't know who they are but a very good looking duo.

Who are they? Some sort of whores?

I'd forgotten who this was but isn't he the stripper who's sounds like a black guy trapped in a white guys body.

Why don't posters ever tell us who these extremely obscure guys are whom they always post about? I find it astonishing the OP just assumes we all know who these two are.

He looks like Kellan Lutz but with proportional limbs and torso.

He's the former chippendales dancer who was on the Amazing Race with his straight friend.

Jaymes is a gay Chippendale who competed on The Amazing Race. Jonathan is an actor. He was in Mean Girls, among other things.

They're gay and they're a couple which means I automatically hate them soooo much

Jaymes also sings.

I can't stand Jaymes' voice. It seems like such an affect.

R7: your annoying use of "anymore" following an affirmative sentence is the real problem here.

How does a board full of gays not know who the cutie from Mean Girls is?

Jonathan has really milked Aaron Samuels for all its worth. Everything he has done since has been "he's the hot guy from 'Mean Girls' and he looks sexy with his hair pushed back!" He apparently is hung, too. So he also has that.

[quote]Jaymes also sings.

That song and video are HORRIBLE.

Bennettt is kinda sexy. The eyebrows could be mowed down quite a bit but yeah…..

No offense, but why do actors always wait until they "mature" to come out as gay? It would have been nice to know that Aaron Samuels was gay back in 2004, when he was still relevant. I couldn't care less now that he is almost 40 years old.

Actors, athletes, etc. don't come out until they are in a relationship. One thing about Jonathan, he dances very "white." Here he is from DWTS.

R26, they're people. Just because they're actors doesn't mean they're more mature, more capable of handling emotions or doing things without a script- Most of us don't have to come out to the entire world, with all of the hate and snyping that goes on these days multiplied a million times.

And most important, most people don't come out for other people. We come out for OURSELVES. It's a matter of self-worth, self-esteem, self-preservation, and for many of us, we waited until it was right for us to do it, usually dealing with the sensivities of a few people that matter. They're entitled to the same choice. And what many of them want is just to live their lives openly, which he has mostly done.

Bennett is also only 36. R26 you're mad he didn't come out as a trailblazer at 23 in 2004? Really?

He's living his life more openly and has for a while, when many people older are much more closeted and likely going to great lengths to live the "bi" life, no matter how deep in the closet, or have their own issues, because they're more successful and trying to be respectable.

Are Spacey, Travolta, Clooney ever going to "mature"?

And if we're talking about maturity and them coming out for the benefit of other gay people, then other gay men especially need to separate their disdain for their performances or work from trashing them for their choices (Bomer, Groff) or how horrible they look when they're out or whom they date (NPH, Quinto) or mocking them for playing femme gay men (Ferguson, Colfer).

Grow up.

R28 is a little too heavily invested in this issue if you ask me.

Nope, just telling it like it is for gay men who whine about celebrity gays not coming out. As if you "needed" them to come out. Weak.

r31 I don't know if you're replying on my behalf or defending your own post but I agree with the sentiment.

I'm not "whining." I respect a person's decision to come out when they are good and ready. I was making an astute observation that most celebrities wait until their "old" and irrelevant to come out of the close. I'm from a generation where a vast majority of gay men come out as teens.

You write as if you were a pre-teen, R26. "Their" not "old" (in Bennett's case, he's 36) and your observation was not "astute" since he's been out for quite a while but too insignificant a celebrity to make a statement.

And you're not from a generation where gay men come out to the entire world as teens. How many openly gay teen celebrities do you know. Youtube celebrities don't count. You have no idea if Bennett came out to his family when he was in his teens or early 20s. You're making ridiculous observations and comparisons.

You're a mess. My comment stands. Grow up.

Maggie, please..no.

R34 You must be an eldergay. I'm familiar with your kind, your quick to anger and are often times irrational. So, I won't engage any further. Good day.

"Your quick to anger". Says all we need to know.

none of their comments on those Instagram links actually say that they are a couple

Doors, asses

Here's a HuffPo article about why it does matter that Jonathan Bennett is gay and out of the closet, for those of you who seem to be unable to grasp the concept.

R37 You zeroing in on a single grammatical error (as if they are not a dime a dozen on the internet), says all that we need to know about you.

R26, Let's break it down.

(a) I thought you were going away.

(b) You've made more than one ridiculous grammar error. You just don't see them.

(c) NO ONE says it's irrelevant or unimportant that Bennett is out. The question is whether it has to be on your personal timetable. YOUR complaint is that he didn't do it when he was 23 (and presumably hotter and more popular in your eyes), instead of now that he's "old" at 36 and a nobody.

The article, as is typical of a patently ridiculous line of argument about coming out, is that anyone in the "public eye" has a responsibility to come out. Unless we live alone and never step outdoors, we ALL are in the public eye to some degree - at the workplace, etc.

The author slips up in the argument, claiming "I believe we have a responsibility to come out especially if you are in the public eye and your being out will have a positive impact". If WE have a responsibility to come out, that means everyone to whomever one's public is. When pressed, authors like this one will back down and say it's everyone's right to decide when it's best for them. It's people like the author who are celebrity obsessed and needs to get over it and would never tell anyone but a celebrity that they have a "responsibility" to come out.

I came out to my parents (twice), first when I was 12 and then again when I was 18. I marched in Pride as a teenager. I didn't tell everyone at the workplace until my mid-20s because of the nature of my work and people acting "uncomfortable" with it and making homophobic comments. I quit that job and have been out at work ever since.

I am in favor of going back to outing politicians. But I don't care about minor celebrities coming out. I also do not think they have a "responsibility" to do it. They have a choice like the rest of us. And if we're serious that they should do it on their own time, people like you, who criticize them for waiting until they're old (at 36), should stick with that principle.

They make a very cute couple. Great that they are both out and enjoying life.

Genuine question: is there any actual evidence these guys are a couple? It is ambiguous form the photos. Also, I'm unfamiliar with Bennett, has he actually ever indicated that he is gay/bi? Basically what I'm asking is, is any of the stuff in this thread corroborated by the subjects themselves or is this all speculation?

Jonathan Benett was Matt Dallas' boyfriend ( long time ago)

[quote]How does a board full of gays not know who the cutie from Mean Girls is?

Easy. I don't watch movies that have Lindsay Lohan in them. I do remember Jonathan Bennett, however, from L&O and AMC.

Oh, fucking please. Who hasn't known Bennett is gay for the last ten years?

Good for them, they look good together

Jonathan Bennett was also one of Simon Halls's conquests. Girl gets around.

I am fascinated by the contrast of their eyebrows!

Isn't Bennett the host of one of those competition shows on Food Network?

Is he still trying to live off that one role in that overrated movie mean girls? Anything new coming down the pipe?

There's something magical about standing at the place the pilgrims landed. You can feel the history here.

[quote] There's something magical about standing at the place the pilgrims landed. You can feel the history here.

Does he not know that they just randomly picked a place in Plymouth to say this??? No one has any idea whether Plymouth Rock is the real rock the pilgrims landed on or not.

What an idiot.

OP, why couldn't you just have identified them as "the cute boy from Mean Girls" and "former contestant on The Amazing Race"? Why would you assume we all knew who they were? They are hardly household names.

He was feeling an historic connection, R52. Have you never done this, or are you insensate? So, like anybody else, he had a bit of a maudlin episode. We've all done this. Give him a break.

What's with Jonathan's eyebrows?

I thought he was cuter than his boyfriend, but didn't recognize him at all from Mean Girls. They picked the perfect male teen queen for that role.

[quote ] Also, I'm unfamiliar with Bennett, has he actually ever indicated that he is gay/bi? Basically what I'm asking is, is any of the stuff in this thread corroborated by the subjects themselves or is this all speculation?

I don't recall Bennett ever stating, but Julianne Hough from Dancing with the Stars said he was gay during an interview and his friend Nathaniel Buzolic from the CW series "The Originals" said Bennett was gay during a fan convention.

Jonathan Bennett is as gay as they come

We have eyes we don't need physical evidence

I think he looks better now. And his eyebrows are amazing.

Never heard of either of them.

I hate on exactly what I like, exactly when I like, and exactly how I like.

And what can you do about it, r54? Exactly nothing.

[quote] Jonathan Bennett is as gay as they come

And if he came any gayer, then he'd be Liberace.

[quote]And his eyebrows are amazing.

The inside borders are too clean. He needs a few random hairs there so it doesn't look too manicured.

He didn't cum in my mouth (unfortunately).

Much like John Waters' masterpiece [italic]Female Trouble[/italic], [italic]Mean Girls[/italic] is proof of gay supremacy and admission of gay envy on Tina Fey's part. Cady sold out her gay friends to be friends with popular breeder bitches, and she suffered because of it. Message: gay friends are better than str8 friends because gay people are inherently superior. That's a good message because it's a true message.

Hot couple Who is the top?!

[quote]Who is the top?

They may be suck buddies.

r62 bitch is snappin' her fingers in r54's face.

r61 exactly right. Who the fuck are these two?

OP, poster gurl for banality, posting two paragons of youngish gay male banality.

R70 = Daniel Franzese, jealous again

Most gay men come out in their early 20s. Why is it a surprise that people are asking why he came out so late?

r71--shut up, bitch! My mother was a "lunch lady"!--Wikipedia

Oh, God -- they're the new Tommy and Gio.

r74--right! I thought they looked familiar.

[quote] "I hate on exactly what I like, exactly when I like, and exactly how I like. And what can you do about it, [R54]? Exactly nothing."

You are EXACTLY as hateful as you deserve to be.

r57, thanks for the info.

Jonathan Bennett is not really closeted anymore.

He's been glass closeted for a while.

We came. We saw. We conquered. Now ball.

I still have no idea who these two gay bitches are.

Here you go R81

That's what you're here, for, r82. To Google. You're the Google bitch.

I take it this is what is meant by "glass closet"

Bennett has not issues a press release but even Helen Keller can tell he's dating Vaughan and seemingly in love.

Good for them.

They seem happy. Not two intellectuals, but well suited for each other and a good physical match.

Jon-Jon give us a tour of the "Cake Wars" set.

R57 - It doesn't get much gayer than dancing around your duplex (shared by some twink) singing a Bette Midler song and being so lost in it that you fall off (not down) the stairs!

They are NOT dating! Just friends, and both bottoms. NEXT!

GAYYYYYYYY

Does Bennett have the kind of fantards who feel they need to defend their idol from all those terrible accusations of being a gay sodomite? The only good reason for him to officially come out is to rub the truth in those tards' faces.

Let's face it. Some bigot assholes turn a private issue, sexual identity, into an excuse to single out a group of people for being different like in some bad High School movie (YOU are not getting invited to my party, because you're a FREAK!). It shouldn't matter if someone is gay or not or come out as gay and declare that it's ok to be gay. But there are still some people out there who need that push or confirmation to deal with their own insecurities. And you can see that when you see all these posters who complain that not the right guy came out (at the rigth time) to make them feel good about themselves.

Bennett is amazingly handsome.

R89 - Or are they just morbidly obese fraus with pink/purple/green hair and ugly tats who are holding out hope that Jonathan will knock on their door, push back his hair and mount them?

Who is infecting whom in this fuck-arrangement?

Still funny R86

I learned Jonathan Bennett was gay on Datalounge when Mean Girls came out!

They have nice teeth.

Yeah, if you follow Bennett on IG, his videos with his lip syncing pop music in the car will tell you all that you need to know.

For guys who are dating, they sure do talk to eachother weird on social media.

Jaymes: "Happy Birthday to the only guy I know who is a bigger spaz than me @jonathandbennett. I love you dude"

Jon:#teammate

Dude? Man? WTF

R58 I agree. When I was brand spanking new here over ten years ago, there was a thread which was discussing what sort of future he might have in film. I said that as good looing as he was, he would never be cast as a male romantic lead again, after Mean Girls, because he was just too gay acting/looking,

One DLer flipped the fuck out, called me a homophobic cunt and even started a thread about me being banned from DL.

I guess I was sort of vindicated.

Is this the closest we'll ever get to seeing the real thing?

Parade + Donuts + USA 🇺🇸 HAPPY 4TH Y'ALL!

The good thing is that being with James has made Jonathan slim down. When he first joined Cake Wars he was doughy.

Yeah. He looks pretty good now. And I think his face has matured surprisingly well.

James is really fit. A Chippendales dancer. It must have put a lot of pressure on Jon to work out more.

Because that's what life is all about, r103.

R104 It is when you're in the entertainment business.

It very often is, r105. It's also very often what life is all about for too many gay men, in show business or not, and that includes these two. That was more what I was getting at.

R106 Good point, physical attractiveness is huge in our world. When a gay man encounters his gay brothers, his looks get overwhelming scrutiny. I think something in our DNA hardwires us that way.

[quote]I think something in our DNA hardwires us that way.

That's probably not as universal as you think it is.

What r108 said (whether one is a chubby chaser or not).

Not all, but many gay men turn into what they hated about high school. It becomes about looks and clothes and cars and the neighborhood you live in. It is a reclamation of everything they missed out on during their teenage years. It's why the whole masculine college jock look is popular with gay men, especially in porn.

It's why gay men fat shame and bottom shame and femme shame and neighborhood shame and flyover shame and car shame and house shame.

And just like those mean kids back in high school, they do it because at their core they are just insecure and worried about being on the outside.

Oh it must be grand to be able to live most of your life sans shirt.

Le Sigh.

Bennett may not be technically out, but he's not exactly closeted. He plays gay in the upcoming movie "Do You Take This Man?"

He played gay recently on Hit the Floor and Awkward.

R113 Three gay roles recently and repeatedly posting selfies of himself with an openly gay "best bud" and "teammate"? He's not in the closet.

James is openly gay now?

Was the better looking guy on "The Amazing Race" gay, too?

Because straight people never fat shame, car shame, career shame, poor shame, neighborhood shame, etc. each other.

Because "keeping up with the Joneses" is a concept that simply never existed.

R115 JAMES is not gay (he was the darker-haired partner on TAR.) JAYMES (who is the one with Jonathan) has always been out.

JAYMES was NOT "always out" on "The Amazing Race" at all.

R118 You're mistaken. He was "out" well before appearing on TAR.

But not "out" ON TAR, was he?

Nope!

He was playing the douchebro part with James.

That was his whole schtick on TAR. He was the gay one of the duo.

Yes, he was out on TAR.

I'm so proud to be a part of this amazing film. It hits select theaters tomorrow July 7th and stars the talented Anthony Rapp, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Dekker , and many other talented actors. It's a story of love and commitment and life. Run, do not walk, to see this film. It was an honor to be a part of this story.

Heterosexual actor Thomas Dekker is in a gay film? Was he trying to bang one of the women in the cast?

Most celebrities and athletes don't come out until they are in a relationship.

Heading to the premier of Jonathan's movie

R126 They appear to be on a date.

15 years ago I moved to LA to pursue acting and performing because it was my passion. 15 years later I still am doing what I love doing in a city that I call home I am grateful that I get to do what I love. Tonight I see my film, Do You Take This Man, in theaters and no matter how many years you've been acting the little theater kid from Ohio part of you still smiles when you get to see yourself on the big screen and eat popcorn. #doyoutakethisman #actorslife #gratfeul

Fixed image link

I think it's nice these diseased whores aren't dead yet.

What a rude thing to say R130.

JB looks great on that premiere pic. Jaymes looks best when he shows his natural skin tone, rather than going for an orange or yellow tint through make up/filters. I wasn't expecting his blaccent or his height.

I'm looking forward to seeing "Will You Take This Man?" When will it be available on DVD?

idrink

Stud detector

He looks like Joe Jonas at R135.

Did he cry on DWTS? I seem to vaguely recall that.

Will he come out later this year? There have been two coming outs by actors who weren't closeted anymore and hadn't been in a while.

The new thing is to come out as (same sex) married or as half of "two dads". Matt Dallas came out while engaged. Bomer came out when his kids were getting to an age where being in would start to be a problem. Thomas Dekker just got married etc.

I expect Jonathan Bennet will do something similar.

[quote] Who is infecting whom in this fuck-arrangement?

[quote] I think it's nice these diseased whores aren't dead yet.

Two obscure STD references.

Do you know something about these guys that we don't?

In any case, I think that Jonathan is super cute, and I've always been attracted to him. Jaymes, not so much.

And Jonathan is back in great shape.

Love him on Food Network's Cake Wars, and glad to see he's acting again too.

I also hear that Jonathan is hung like a donkey. Anyone know for sure?

Jaymes must be a power bottom.

Who has the bf that outed Bennett for giving handjobs at The Abbey? It wasn't Dallas. Handjobs. Seems almost quaint.

R140 Is's an open secret that Bennett and Dallas dated and had a bitter breakup.

Is Bennett the one that's rumored to be a huge slut?

R140 Travis Bryant

R144 I think that "Travis" is Travis Bryant, whom Bennett was rumored to have dated in 2011.

Yes, that's exactly what I said R145

Jonathan's relationships seem to end badly. Anyone know why?

Probably because he won't publicly come out and acknowledge the relationships

[quote]Jonathan's relationships seem to end badly. Anyone know why?

It can't be easy dealing with a closet case who stays closeted because of delusions that he'll be the next Leonardo DiCaprio and doesn't want to hurt his career. His career that now has him being a host of CAKE WARS!

R135, your link, she is dead.

It was an Instagram story, which deletes after 24 hours R150

It was Jaymes pointing a stud detector at Jonathan.

Jonathan hasn't been closeted in years now. Also, when he and Matt Dallas were dating, Dallas was still pretending to be straight.

Jonathan wants to be big in Hollywood again!

Four days ago, Bennett posted an Instagram clip of himself and Jaymes frolicking in Provincetown. That doesn't look closeted to me.

Having the Time Of Our Lives at @Pitbull #TimeOfYourLife at @PHVegas right now! I LOVE that these dancers all got curves and booty! #Yasss

Cute

Jaymes looked better with facial hair.

The show all the signs of being a couple.

Who gets perfectly tweezed, Brezhnev Brows?

It wasn't that long ago he was teaching Spin at Flywheel in Weho.

Who are these two dipshits?

Jonathan Bennett declares himself Daddy.

So does he have a big dick, or doesn't he?

Jonathan and Jaymes must have amazing sex.

They're both really hot.

Jonathan is still very cute!

Jonathan loves 🍆

OMG! Those teeth. What are you doing to your people America?

[quote]Jaymes looked better with facial hair.

less like a mannequin?

he also looks better when he shuts his mouth.

Fake smile - fake teeth. He's like a Ken doll.

Can someone save me the trouble of scrolling through this thread., And let me know who these two guys are

Post R18 explains it R170

[quote]It's so cute that they're all over each others IG accounts together

I know OP - nothing's cuter than that. NOTHING.

I guess they weren't at a spa.

God, the sex they must have...

Is this the most obvious they've ever been?

I wanna see Jonathan PLOWING Jaymes' hole.

Jaymes is a power bottom and Jonathan is a hung top.

HOT!

They might be bumping mussies because Jonathan is a big ole bottom, hunny.

Tru dat.

They're cute together. I wish they would make it official though.

Jaymes and Jonathan are super white

So white

Extremely white

Joking about how white he is while sounding like Vicky Vox?

Who are these people? And why should we care?

Comparing these two with Tom Holland + Haz Osterfield, Tom's natural charisma has never been more apparent.

Bennett liked this tweet. Other than saying the words (which I know to some people is such a big deal on here sort of like the Repubs wanting Obama to say "Radical Islamic terrorism"), I'd say he's out.

Jonathan Bennett has been liking explicitly gay tweets/posts for years.

Both Jaymes and Jonathan posted this

Jonathan posted:

Dunk tank realness

Part 2

Part 3

R186 is a stupid fucking closet case. Are you not aware of what's going on in the world? Unless you say the fucking words, you are not out, you dumb fuck.

We survived the dunk tank

Jaymes posted this on his Instagram story. I think they want kids...

So has Jon stopped being a ho?

No R195

Dallas here we come! Hosting A Night Out For Trevor to benefit @TrevorProject tomorrow night. Tickets still available at link in bio. Hope to see y'all there! #Dallas Thanks to @americanair for flying us down 🙌🏽

Hey pay attention to me

Someone's already in a bathrobe

Jaymes looks rode hard, and put away wet.

He must be getting dicked good by Jonathan.

And his neediness just attests to his bottom-ness.

Jonathan seems like the bottom.

No way, R201.

Jaymes is DEFINITELY the bottom.

Jaymes posts pics with other guys. So I'm not so sure he and Bennett are a couple. This guy pops up a lot...

Disgusting guy at R203.

They may not be officially dating but they're definitely fucking.

Do you think they double date with Matt + Blue?

They both look like the slutty types.

R206 lol, Matt and Jonathan don't speak anymore. They had a very bitter break-up.

Jonathan Bennett has meth face.

They both look ridiculous with their super fake teeth and Jonathan's fake eyebrows

Why do gays always make themselves look like cartoons?

Post work out, pre @trevorproject fundraiser dip. The perfect Saturday in Dallas with dum dum here.

Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean your fitness gets a break! #fitfam #herbalife #hashtag #fitness #motivation #workoutbro #bro #lift #doyouevenlift #beyonce @jaymesv

I like Jonathan because, although he's been working out (or at least posting about working out) for years, he's still thick. That's because he's a fat bitch, who loves food, like me.

Spill the dirt, R208!

What happened between Jonathan Bennett and Matt Dallas? Any good gossip?

R214 I don't know the details, just that they had a very bad breakup.

People have been asking for details about the breakup since 2009

Is Jonathan "adjacent"?

Jonathan looks horrible on that cupcake show. He's made up to look like a 1920's chorus girl.

Jonathan is a clean, decent gay. He's not disgusting like bears or leather people.

^ = Miss Mary Frumpworthy, Frau Extraordinaire.

R219 Oh dear. You okay there, sugar plum?

Jonathan looks fat even though he regularly works out, I don't get it.

Any footage of James in that bootleg Magic Mike movie?

R222 then it comes down to his diet.

This one

They are becoming more and more obvious with their relationship.

Theyre a cute couple.

It's obvious just from the pics but in terms of text, James makes it obvious with the likes of "this one" (instead of "this guy" etc.) and "we spent our Saturday" (emphasis on "our") while Jonathan still camouflages (e.g. "#workoutbro" - not #workoutbae, Jon?).

James needs to cool it with the filters, or at least use them better. The last pic looks like the still from a video game trailer.

They are #goals.

Check out Jaymes' new Instagram story, he called Jonathan dreamy.

James said it like it's a quote from the movie. Is it?

Uh oh, better watch out Jaymes

I get so much envy when I see couples like this.

Where's Jaymes in this "squad" picture?

They also look like a group of straight guys to me.

Not a pluck nor a primp, as far as the eye can see!

Well, except for Jonathan.

Jaymes is too busy in Vegas for some reason.

Must be hard for Jonathan to be with a guy like Jaymes. People are just throwing themselves at him.

Read the comments on the photo at R236.

Even the girl is saying how much she's into him! lol

Awww... so sweet!

Jaymes is so supportive.

I can’t process right now but I’m safe. Thank you everyone who is checking.

Interesting that Jonathan didn't comment at all on Jaymes' whereabouts or safety.

Seems like a one-sided relationship.

Something tells me Jon has James' number.

At least we know, with that blaccent of his, James would not have been at that concert.

You're just so clever, aren't you R242?

Too bad you weren't at the concert, deplorable cunt.

Who's being clever? James just co-starred in "Chocolate City: Las Vegas". He's Vicky Vox if she were a circuit queen.

Jaymes promoted something of Jon's and Jon responded "Thanks for always supporting me"

Jaymes replied "That's my job"

Aww

So proud of this guy and what he and his cast mates did today 💖 Gofundme.com/october3 #meangirlsday #october3rd

Looks like Jon's stalking other guys on IG

[quote]jonathandbennett I look way better with my hair pushed back #sorrynotsorry

I knew that JB was not as much into Jaymes as Jaymes is into him.

Seems like JB is just a whore. No wonder he has so many bad breakups.

I'll bet Matt Dallas could tell some stories.

Awww Jaymes posted this on his IG story

Aww Jaymes supporting his boyfriend ❤

Jaymes is such a sweet guy.

I loved him and his partner on the Amazing Race.

I wish they would do an all-stars season and come back.

Jeez, that's a comedown for Jon to be the bartender on WWHL. I know he went mostly straight to DVD after Mean Girls but he was still mostly leading roles.

Wow. That guy at r247 looks way cuter there than he does here.

Gorgeous eyes at R247.

Hamilton baby!

Crashed the set of tonight’s #HalloweenWars to watch @jonathandbennett and his dad jokes in action. Y’all these pumpkins are HUGE! See what the teams do with them tonight at 9PM on @FoodNetwork

Hi Bitches! Check out our toofs!

Haunted hayride

L.A. Haunted Hayride was lit!

They unfollowed each other on Instagram. Wonder if they broke up.

I have the sads. They're not goals.

They were never dating. Not sure why you kaweens came up with that narrative, but whatevs.

They’re an attractive couple, but so what??? Who cares??? I’ll just have a glass of wine 🍷.

That's it? It's over? Just like that?

I blame the hayride.

I guess Jon is still holding out for a Tom Cruise type career...

R264 Seems like it. I wonder what happened, they were so close just a few days ago.

I see no proof that they've broken up, they're just busy doing their own things right now

[quote] They unfollowed each other on Instagram. Wonder if they broke up.

It wouldn't be the first time Jonathan had a bad breakup. Just ask Matt Dallas.

Clearly, Jonathan is the problem. He must be quite an asshole.

Well, they're still following each other on Twitter

[quote] They unfollowed each other on Instagram. Wonder if they broke up.

Jonathan didn't "unfollow" Jaymes because Jonathan doesn't follow ANYONE on Instagram.

R260 just made that up.

Jaymes and Jon at Fright Dome

Jonathan's collapse is complete!

I have no idea who these Instragram whores are????

R274 Then why are you in this thread????

Living the @stitchedlife in #lasvegas with @jaymesv at @palms

Are they official? Have they ever referred to themselves as boyfriends? Or are they playing games?

Somehow, I think that this will end in tears for Jaymes.

He's such a sweet guy, and Jonathan is such a mean girl.

MARY!

They are straight girlfriends!

These two are messy queens. Damn.

Does their aggregate IQ even exceed 110?

On our way to GLSEN Awards but this LA traffic

Jaymes sees Jonathan as a superstar

Are we sure Bennett is 100% gay? When he was on All My Children, he dated co-star Elizabeth Hendrickson. They were quite the item for a while, and I remember their relationship was detailed in Soap Opera Digest.

Who is the queen in this thread who keeps recording James' Instastories? Obsessed.

Yes, Jonathan is 100% gay R285

Bennett is also hung like a mule.

R285 he's been "accidentally" outed as gay twice by people who know him personally so yeah...

Thank you to @jaymesv for making me grow as a human and thank you for being awesome. Thank you to @glsen for being an inspiring voice in the LGBTQ community.

Jonathan commented “husband” below on that same IG photo. Might be a reply, but I can’t be bothered to track back to find the comment he’s replying to.

Alternatively, did they elope, y’all?

R290 They're basically official now, right? Jonathan isn't even hiding it anymore.

I really hate all the coy fucking bullshit.

Either come out, or don't.

Either say you're a fucking couple, or stop pretending.

People like this are EXHAUSTING.

Just Jared caught wind of them

Yeah, why is he ok with showing up as the date of an out-and-proud gay man at the Gay Awards and not ok with coming out of the closet?

Has it occured to you that he's testing the waters? And that James is the impetus?

Matt Dallas came out when he got engaged. Matt Bomer came out long after becoming a father. It's the new normal for coming out.

Jonathan's straight, bitches!

He's a dude bro.

Wait!! Is anyone doubting that these two are a couple!?? They couldn't be more out as a couple based on their posts. Must they literally caption "we are gay and we are a couple" for it to be confirmed?

Notice I'm tryin to learn this culture and this one just stealing my drink when I'm not lookin

Is it so difficult for him to say "I am gay"? Apparently.

Hasn't he played gay several times recently? I expect he'll try to do a version of what Luke Evans has done recently - it will be mentioned in passing by the writer in an interview but not be a topic of discussion between the interviewer and subject.

Maybe they are doing what Gio and Tommy did. It's the new thing. Not coming out, but being out. When they get engaged, it will be a post and everyone will say "Jon got engaged!" rather than "Jon comes out!"

There is something quite sociopathic and very pathetic about that, R302.

The fact that these people are living a gay life, getting married, etc., but simply DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE to say the words, is very disturbing.

As if saying "I'm gay" is the worst thing in the world.

I don't get it. I'll never understand it.

I get it. I hated those "Yep, I'm gay" magazine covers. It way more normalising to come out via engagement or marriage or parenthood than the dog and pony show given previously. And that's not to say someone shouldn't come out until they find "the one".

I liked Brandon Flynn's matter of fact coming out via IG when he claimed membership of the LGBT community. And then he's pictured with Sam Smith. It may be no less calculated but it reads as much more chill.

When I'd see those "I'm Gay" covers of People or whatever magazine, it made me feel like the subject was being exhibited like a zoo animal. I know that may be just a minority opinion but it's how I felt. Plus, I heard young how performers were often forced to come out with a "we're going to run a story on your sexuality either way" - that was certainly a Brit tabloid tactic.

R303, I do get it in a sense.

There is almost a sense of a post-modern feel to coming out now. If straight couples don't have to announce "Hey, I'm straight", then why should gay couples? Maybe equality is not being forced to announce your sexuality just to clarify for an audience who assumes your are straight. Maybe equality is treating yourself exactly like straight people would. Just post pictures with your love, and then when you get engaged, make that the photo.

I know to some it feels like not being "proud" enough of your sexuality, but maybe we are moving past the phase of needing to be "proud" of a sexual orientation we had no control in choosing. Maybe the best way to make gay seem normal is to treat it like you would anything else. To treat it with the same normalcy.

Gay man or man who happens to be gay? That's the question we face now. NPH chose gay man. Gio and Tommy chose men who happen to be gay. And Colton Haynes chose flaming hot mess.

If you'd been elbow deep in Brian Synger, you might be a little hot messy yourself.

Actions speak louder than words and Jonathan and jaymes have been loudly declaring they are together. Jonathan even liked a comment asking if they were a couple. Doing a post to say "yep,I'm gay" would be hilarious for them because "we been knew"!!!

[quote]Jonathan even liked a comment asking if they were a couple

Jonathan liked 10-20 comments asking whether/declaring that they are a couple.

Why must every obviously gay person declare their homosexuality to the world? It's clear as day that they're together.

R300 Wouldn't that be redundant?

Yeah, I don't like it when gays shove their gayness down our throats! They should shut up and be secretive.

Yeah, these two are SO secretive.

About to watch a scary movie in a cemetery... oh LA #NightOfTheLivingDead @Cinespia

Is Jonathan ethnic? He has weird brows for a white dude.

So someone updated Jon's wikipedia page categories.

We'll see how long it lasts

Social media allows celebs like Jonathan to control his brand and narrative. It's basically a reality TV show for guys like him with special guest stars like Jaymes.

Awww, I think they are happy.

Hey wanna go down to San Diego and ride bikes and watch the sunset?” Me: “Sure”

Goose and Maverick practicing for Halloween.

Will they go to Malawi for a baby?

Jaymes replied to a recent Instagram post from Jonathan.

[quote] jaymesv And I’m so proud of you. Can’t wait to see it!

If you had to guess, whose top and whose bottom?

^Who's. Auto correct.

R322 I'd say they switch.

I expect the diseases they carry will mutate into some new incurable malady.

Cynical! They seem sweet together, I'm glad for them.

cynicism = because of experience , the ability to see things as they really are

Wonder if Bennett has been tamed by Vaughan and is actually keeping it in his pants.

He used to be a pretty epic manwhore.

Jaymes looks different from the AR days? What gives? Fillers? Bennett needs to let his brows grow out a bit more naturally. I love thick bushy eyebrows but his are just too manicured.

[quote] He used to be a pretty epic manwhore.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You don't seriously think they are monogamous!!

Jaymes is bottom, R322.

He's dickmatized by Jonathan's dong.

Why do people think Jonathan is a manwhore? I know Travis Bryant alleged that Jon had cheated, but what other rumors or evidence is there?

R332 Because he likes pics of shirtless guys on Instagram every single day? Even now with Jaymes, his behavior hasn't changed at all.

Since when does liking pics of shirtless guys mean you're a cheating manwhore?

[quote] Since when does liking pics of shirtless guys mean you're a cheating manwhore?

When you're in a supposedly "monogamous" relationship.

Then again, we don't know that for sure, because Jonathan has never confirmed that he's in a relationship. In fact, he's never even confirmed that he's actually even GAY, for that matter.

I'd say it is an indication of their personality r334, but I had no idea about that, that comment just came from my friends who live in WeHo. Was common knowledge than Bennett was gay (duh), and a he had a nice dick and was slutty. That was the gossip I heard, though to be fair this years ago.

Thanks for the Travis Bryant tip r334, jerking off a stranger at the Abbey, nice.

[quote]Jonathan Bennett was also one of Simon Halls's conquests. Girl gets around.

Bennett used to sleep with Lance Bass as well.

Did Jonathan cheat on Matt Dallas?

Bennett looks much better now that he's getting regular cock. He looked awful on Food Network, like he was always puffy from alcohol.

They are obviously a couple.

It’s the #HalloweenWars finale tonight! But don’t take my word for it, ask @jaymesv @foodnetwork 9pm

Yeesh, didn't realize he had a double chin

Sneak peek

Even more

Just two grown men and a dog playin dress up. Happy Halloween! Be safe out there y’all. Thanks @legavenue for the #TopGun #Goose #Maverick #Halloween costumes

jonathandbennett Because forgot to post on Halloween. i Love you babe. #mygoose @jaymesv

I guess it’s official.

So James is now a host on some lower tier entertainment news show?

This will end in tears. Jonathan is still the same ho he's always been. Even now with Jaymes he still manages to like pics of hot shirtless guys on Instagram. It's only a matter of time before he cheats again.

R350 in the meantime they both are happy and enjoying being together.

R351 And that is the worst sin possible on DL.

Jaymes is good as the entertainment news host.

So I guess we should expect a ton of news articles about this from the "celeb" gossip sites come tomorrow?

It's weird that I really like Jaymes a lot, but I can't stand Jonathan.

Jaymes is a total sweetheart, but Jonathan seems kinda douchey.

ITA with R355. I liked Jaymes from ARace but Jonathan seems full of himself and awkward on DWTStars and Food Network. They’re both cute, of course.

'Mean Girls' Star Jonathan Bennett's Boyfriend James Vaughan Is Hot AF

“Cake Wars” Star Jonathan Bennett Dating TV Host Jaymes Vaughan

No media outlet has picked up on Jonathan as "coming out" today with the post. Those articles above are from yesterday or a couple days ago. It's just too obvious no one gives a fuck anymore.

From the InTouch article:

“While Jonathan has remained mum on his sexual orientation over the years — Julianne Hough accidentally outed him while he was competing on Dancing With the Stars in 2014 — it’s clear that the former teen heartthrob is happier than ever with Jaymes by his side.”

Huh? What is exactly “clear” from the Instagram posts? Are Jonathan and Jaymes too difficult to reach in order to provide a quote or two for the article? Did anyone even think to contact them to get confirmation on their relationship?

Funny that Datalounge requires more relationship confirmations than In Fucking Touch. Garbage.

Ok, now it's official. Someone asked in one of Jonathan's photos if the two of them are together, and Jaymes replied "Yup :)"

Ugh, Jonathan I know, I know you're "out" technically, but can you at least show a picture of you guys kissing or something saying "boyfriend" just to stop the stupid fraus who still think you are closeted? Put them out of their misery.

I just want an official statement or interview where he discusses it.

Why the fuck is Perez the only news source that has picked up on this? Where is Towleroad etc..?

He always makes me look good in selfies. But that’s cuz he’s better looking and standing next to me.

Thanks @jaymesv for helping me grow and teaching me how to be a grown ass man.

The gay blogosphere has decided that Bennett is out

It's unreal how handsome Jonathan is,

[quote]It's unreal how handsome Jonathan is,

I couldn't agree more

Well, you men on DL have taken some random pictures and random captions and concocted your own story of Love and Sexual attraction.

Is ANY of it real at all?

Jonathan bennett said yesterday "Thanks to Jaymes for helping me grow and teaching me how to be a grown ass man"

But what does he mean?

1. Is he talking Ebonics (who mindlessly insert the word 'ass' into sentences)

2. Is he saying that he's now an Ass-man"

R370 definitely both

I am still stunned by how much Jonathan let himself go after Mean Girls.

THIS! THIS is why it is so important to live our truths loudly and proudly. You never know who is watching and you never know who you are inspiring and giving hope to just by simply being yourself. I wish we had social media when I was a kid, the LGBTQ visibility would have been amazingly helpful. So thankful we have it now. And to you who sent me this, I know we already spoke but thank you again for this beautiful message. In your time, when you’re ready, there is an entire community here ready to love, accept, and empower you. I trust and pray your family will do the same. #BeYou 🏳️‍🌈❤️

[quote] In your time, when you’re ready, there is an entire community here ready to love, accept, and empower you.

Clearly, he's not talking about that viper's den, aka DATALOUNGE.

I would like to empower James to use filters less and to embrace his natural skintone, which has no strong undertones of yellow or orange as per his pics.

Jonathan's prettier than Jaymes.

But Jaymes has got a better body.

[quote] Jonathan's prettier than Jaymes

I totally 100% disagree.

Jaymes is gorgeous..

And he has a body for DAYZ...

I miss James and Jaymes from The Amazing Race.

I think that they make the perfect couple. If James wasn't straight.

But they still look great together.

Jaymes > Jonathan

Jaymes is one of those guys who is very hot in face and in body, but once he opens his mouth, the purse that falls out kills the vibe for me a little. It's weird when you see a guy with all the makings of a "top" personality, but there is a MARY! underneath.

Jonathan used to be beautiful. More beautiful than Jaymes in my opinion. I mean those eyes with that smile, god damn. Unfortunately, he has aged, and while no rational person would turn him away in bed, he is not as hot as he used to be.

^That was then, this is now. *sigh*

Is Jonathan on the left or right, R383?

So Jonathan thanks Jaymes for teaching him to be an "ass man".

So Jaymes is, therefore, thrusting and thus fulfilling Jonathan's ass.

Wrong, wrong, wrong R385.

Jaymes is a bottom. I have no doubt.

And I say this as a bottom.

Jaymes is hotter because he just exudes confidence and that body. Very sexy.

Purses? I don't get purses, no. Purple drank, yes.

Bennett is hosting something called 1st Look on NBC. It's on now, 1 am ET, but it's something. I guess he's still getting some work.

He's hosting Cake Wars on Food Network R389

I knew he used to but wasn't sure if that was current, R390. I don't like cake or cupcakes so I skip all those shows.

This is not a big secret. Jonathan may not have said the three magic words, but he's not closeted.

They're basically turning into Tommy and Gio now.

Maybe they'll double date at Disneyland R393

Jaymes hit the big time! Here he is dishing with Wendy about Spacey and Tyrese.

Jaymes is still buff but he’s far from his huge Chippendales days. He looks great. I like his hair and his voice.

I hate the shirt collar but I really like the blazer.

Wendy says that his entertainment news show is on “Real.” What is that? A website?

^ What a hideous way for Jaymes to make a living! Appearing on brainless daytime TV retailing second-hand alleged gossip to a trussed-up mulatto freak.

He was a stripper and then he was a reality TV contestant. Were you expecting him to transition to a career in brain surgery?

R397

You are destroying my romantic fantasies! Does Jonathon work asa trashy prostitute as well?

E! Online reporting

“Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughan appear to be Instagram official.”

Why the fuck can’t E! get JB or JV on the phone to confirm or deny?

Ridiculous.

Best place to clear your head...these rocks.

Love.

Gusband. Gay husband. He's her gay bff

They must be aware that Datalounge is gossiping about them by now.

I expect them to give us a sexy pic. Have we seen their butts yet?

Poor Jonathan. Jaymes is totally going to fuck this woman's fiance.

The happy couple

R415 im talking about Jaymes' comment in the photo about a boyfriend "cheating". I'm not dumb enough to not know what a gusband is.

I think they've already broken up. Jaymes posted a cryptic message on his story a couple days back. I forgot what it said. They haven't seen each other in days!!

Idk Jaymes commented on Jonathan's latest IG post. Though his comment may either be seen as just teasing or actually throwing a shade

Jonathan just posted his love photo with Jaymes 3 days ago. I think they're just really busy apart.

Jaymes threw shade at Jonathan in another of Jonathan's posts early this week. Otherwise they've been ignoring each other on Instagram for a while. There definitely seems to be trouble in paradise. Someone even asked Jaymes whether they had split up.

I knew it wouldn't last.

Jonathan is a real shit. Totally not boyfriend material.

You're better off now, Jaymes! Find someone who deserves you.

R423, what did Jaymes say?

😱😱 One of them must be reading on this site. If you looked up what R414 posted, it has already been removed.

On that post, Jaymes commented that a boyfriend cheated on him.

[quote] On that post, Jaymes commented that a boyfriend cheated on him

And this is a surprise to Jaymes, why?

We've been saying it throughout this entire thread. Jonathan Bennett is a cheating dog. Just ask Matt Dallas about their bad breakup.

If Jaymes had read any of the posts here, he would have seen the red flags.

Jonathan is not a relationship person. Anyone who tries to convince themselves otherwise, will only get hurt.

R425, Early this week, Jonathan posted "4 Agreements." No. 1 was "Be Impeccable With Your Word." Jaymes' comment was merely to write "1." next to a side-eye emoji.

Haha, R428. I love that.

Is Jon gonna even change??

Jonathan is in groveling mode based on his self-help quotes and pics. Jaymes however is having none of it it seems.

Yesterday, Jonathan posted his "Best 9" on Instagram, four of which were photos of him with Jaymes, but Jaymes continues to ignore Jonathan, and has for weeks.

So Bennett was caught sleeping around on Vaughan?

What a complete non-surprise, the dude is a sex-addict.

Should have listened to me James

Jaymes replied to this post of Jonathan's a few days ago

Jaymes replied, yes, but, again, appears to be throwing shade.

At least he still cares. Looks like there’s a chance for them yet!

Apparently Brett Davern from Awkward has a radio show and our boy Jonathan was on it

So now Jaymes has posted his "Top 9" on Instagram and did include two photos with Jonathan. But his "favorite" was a solo of himself.

Top 9 are based on the amount of likes the photo gets

[quote]Top 9 are based on the amount of likes the photo gets

So the two pics of Jonathan mean nothing, then.

If he cheated right when he claimed his first boyfriend in public, he's one sick individual. If you're not cut out for monogamy, own it and find a like minded partner. It's not a hard thing to do id you're a gay man. He's closing in on 40. Too old to be such a fuck up.

R442 I think that's what happened. Jonathan messed up in some way maybe cheating and then tried to cover it up and overcompensate with. a big gesture and announcing Jaymes was his bf. What a psycho! Then obviously Jaymes found shit out and Jonathan has been begging since. I hope Jaymes doesn't take him back or at least makes him suffer.

Meanwhile, Jaymes' latest Instagram post resulted in this exchange between Jaymes and porn "actor" Topher DiMaggio:

thetopherdimaggio Let’s hang this week

@jaymesv ! Lunch in the grove?

[quote]Jonathan messed up in some way maybe cheating

Yes, "maybe" cheating.

I'm sure it was about him forgetting to take the trash out.

Apparently they are still together, although they haven't appeared together on Instagram in weeks. In his most recent Instagram post, Jaymes' response to someone includes the words "too late now. I got @jonathandbennett."

This was the post he said that in the comments

His other, more grown up nephews

There was never evidence he broke up with Jonathan or that Jonathan cheated. Jaymes had made a comment about a friend of his, saying she was the kind of friend who was so good, she was the type to come right over when an ex cheated on him. It sounded like a reference to the past (not the present with JB)

What are you doing #NYE2018? Thanks to @UnicloUSA you and 3 friends can hang out with ME as I host the famous ball drop Webcast in Times Square

[quote]jaymesvI already entered twice

They've been apart for a long time. Anw, does that mean Jonathan is the bottom??

R451 They haven't been apart. Jonathan recently posted a story and Jaymes was there with him. It was a cooking class or something where they were preparing food.

Jaymes has been visiting his family for the last few days, unless he just got back

I can't be bothered trawling this thread but are there any sexy pics here yet?

Should I know them? Are they likely people?

[quote]Should I know them?

If you've seen mean girls you know who Bennett is, it is his big claim of fame he will milk til the day he dies.

Vimeo has their catalogued J and J's videos in their 'Gay Celebrities' section

[quote] does that mean Jonathan is the bottom?

Jaymes is definitely the bottom. Which is why it's hard for him to leave Jonathan's cheating ass.

A good top is hard to find, which is why Jonathan plays, and Jaymes stays. Because Jonathan can get away with it.

R457, do you have a link please?

r450 How embarrassing. He spells the sponsor's name wrong, thereby linking to an invalid Twitter account (it's UNIQLO, not UNICLO.) Then "accommodations" is misspelled.

I had no idea that Jaymes knew Karamo Brown from Real World Philadelphia.

I'm sure that at some point in the past, Jaymes must have gotten dicked down by Karamo.

I guess it didn't work out, and now they're "just friends."

How long have they been together? It looks like they've been for a year now, unless they started as friends.

It's cute that they're celebrating Christmas together.

Just ate a buckeye

Merry Christmas

Jon's sister sent a little Christmas tree for their hotel room

Have you guys noticed in all of Jaymes appearances on Tv shows and interviews, he tries to sound like a sassy black woman, and then in his Insta stories with Jonathan, he constantly jokes how white Jon acts.

Girl, you're white.

[quote]This is what “Happy Holidays” looks like....

And Jaymes' caption for the same picture on his IG

[quote]I said I wanted a white Christmas so he brought me here...

Jaymes commented "I love you dum dum"

awww

And there is always that one irritating fangirl who would feel the need to comment on how a gay guy is a waste 😑

Anal?

Jon looks so happy. I've never seen him so happy before on his social media and in general.

James says he's from a blended family. I don't know if it was a "Steve Martin in The Jerk" situation.

R476 Good to see. I guess we are now waiting for the engagement to happen. I just wish the best for these 2, they look good together.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours...

When you're tryin to make a good impression so you cook for his family. But you have no idea what you are doing in the kitchen

Who meet whose parents??

R482, both of Jonathan's parents are dead.

They're such a cute couple and I automatically hate them so much

R484,

You have officially uttered the very philosophy of Datalounge. Thank you sir.

Now I feel bad for snarking on him [R483]

If Jonathan quit doing meth then this relationship has a chance.

Aww

R488, Is Jonathan actually crying in that picture, or just smiling really hard?

I think Jon likes Jaymes' ass lol

[quote] both of Jonathan's parents are dead.

It's a good thing, because this would've killed them.

Jonathan is a nice looking guy with a nice smile so why does he do that obnoxious thing that so many gay guys do in pictures?

It looks so stupid!

Guys, when someone points a camera at you, simply smile. Keep your mouth closed. Nobody wants to see your O face.

I felt sorry for Jaymes when he lost The Amazing Race to those gay goat farmers, The Beekman Boys. He seemed to take it so hard, like his one shot at making something for himself and his family was over. He had a mini melt down at the end.

Adorable together

R494 Thanks for the constant updates ❤

R494 So handsome both.

I'm officially rooting for them.

Bring food Jon

Awww Jon took a video of Jaymes sleeping

He took "what" literally?

There's probably some bonus footage Jon made afterwards that we may like to see

R500, the letters on the Wall above Jaymes says "Lights out please"

I don't think the weird pause in their relationship a few weeks ago had anything to do with Jonathan cheating. Based on how outspoken and loud about their relationship they are being right now, I tend to think it was just about Jaymes giving Jon an ultimatum: either we are doing this publicly or not. Jaymes seems to wear the pants on the relationship so I don't see him tolerating being cheated on. He likely just demanded commitment and openness.

It’s cold ❄️ Good thing he’s so hot 🔥

Proud boyfriend

This thread is almost reaching part 2!! Are they gonna be the next GOmmy?

No. Please not. R506

They haven't reached Tommy and Gio levels yet

So is he the designated bottom R490?

Why did I come here?

I had to make another before I leave.

There is something about those eyebrows that bother me...

R506 But what should we call them? JaymAthan?

Jaymes is cute as he'll. I wonder if he and that friend of his from The Chippendales ever went double on a woman.

R514 Hello, random bisexual troll

Why not? He's hot , he was hanging around with a bunch of hot straight guys...it might have happened one time. After all women would have been throwing themselves at them.

R516 What do you mean by 'Why not?'

He's gay. Isnt that a clear answer of why not?

But maybe you're just one of those homophobes that equate hot=straight stuffs. Piss off, R516.

Just warming it up.... Who’s ready for @timessquarenyc NYE 2018?

Serious question for you guys: So put aside how you feel about the personality of Tommy/Gio and Jaymes/Jonathan, do you like this form of coming out better?

Neither Gio or Jonathan gave a coming out interview, or posted some big message. They just started dating a guy and posting pictures of it. "Being out" not "Coming out".

This is the opposite of what people like Neil Patrick Harris did, where they felt it was necessary (or lucrative) to make a formal announcement.

Which way do you think is better? Have we reached the point of progress where we no longer need the formal announcements and can just be out, making a point that like straight people, no announcement for your sexuality is needed? Or do you think that is just an excuse by some to not have the courage to make a formal announcement?

I think it's more to do with Gio and Jonathan not being on the same level of celebrity as NPH. I'm sure if someone offered, they would have done an interview and came out publicly.

NPH was forced to make a coming out statement after his representative issued a statement saying that he’s straight in response to gay rumors posted on the Perez H site.

The denial statement created a lot of noise that NPH finally quashed through his coming out statement.

In other words, NPH was forced out thanks to his publicist. He didn’t just decide to make a coming out statement because it was the right thing to do.

I like being out visibly vs. coming out statements. The latter can be cringey and forced.

While obviously we always get excited when an obviously gay celebrity (waiting on you Garrett Clayton, darling) announces it just to end the speculation once and for all, I do like the idea behind just being out and not coming out.

The coming out announcements perpetuate this double standard applied to gay people announcing their sexuality that is not applied to straight people. There is a part of me that is very drawn to this idea of "we are not going to treat ourselves any differently than our straight counterparts. When we start dating someone, we don't hide it, and we let the world come to its own natural conclusions". It's boring, but maybe that's the point of gay rights. To get to the point where it is no longer a big deal, so you have to treat it as such.

Aha! This proves that Jon and Jaymes are gonna be the next Gommy!!

Unfortunately, in our society, it is assumed that a person is heterosexual until he or she outright states otherwise.

For most people, it isn’t enough to post pics of you and your boyfriend staring into each others’ eyes. Most people will assume that the two of you are either close platonic friends and/or being silly. Again, because the assumption is that all people are straight.

By making a statement, a person eliminates all doubt. It is also an opportunity for the person to demonstrate their pride and lack of fear.

It’s a drag but that’s the way it is circa late 2017.

R526 Does anyone doubt these two are fucking? How!?!? You'd have to be mentally ill to think these two are just friends.

R527, you should step outside of the gay ghetto to realize how straight people think.

Are you talking to me R399?

I'm being factual. That creature on the right of the screen is on the verge of looking no longer human.

They have had more work done on them than the grotesque Amanda Lepore. And talk about lowbrow 'dumb-ass' conversation!

from @giobenitez:😂 have fun fellas!! @jonathandbennett

Awww Gio knows Jaymes and Jon. I swear, all the Instagays know each other.

My Mom was worried about me being here to watch the ball drop for New Year’s Eve. I think because she thought I was going to be in the streets with everybody else. Don’t worry Mom...I’m not. I’m here...with the actual ball...at the top of Times Square...with the Times Square Host @jonathandbennett. Safe to say I won’t be in the streets. Happy New Year!

R530 Does Gio read DL??

Also more confirmation that Jon and Jaymes are the next GOmmy!!

Jayme is so in love, hopefully Jon is too.

Ugh, Jaymes is hot, but I have watched his little videos on snap chat. He constantly drops into his "I'm a sassy black woman whose going to try and talk like I'm from the hood". And then he drops the voice and talks normal usually when meeting strangers.

Bitch, you're white!!!

R534 I thought Jaymes was mixed.

Jonathan is hosting an NYE celebration online

Jaymes tweeted : My New Year’s Resolution: If you love someone love them so loudly that they never for a single second ever have to wonder how you actually feel. So here I am. In the freezing cold. Front row center. Screaming it from the top of my lungs. I love you @jonathanbennett❤️

Fuck. Now I really want to see them kiss already. God dammit.

Wow that’s sweet

New Years is the perfect time to propose

Not to be a cynical bitch, but....

When people make loud, public declarations of true love, sometimes it’s done to get back at an ex. “I’m so much happier with the new guy than I ever was with you!”

Of course, that isn’t always the case.

When you can't wait til midnight

Who was Jaymes ex? Was it a bad breakup?

R539 They should!!

I watched his live stream waiting for it to happen. It didn't.

Jon did say to the camera: "Thank you so much Jaymes for loving me. It means the world to you" (He messed up and meant to say "the world to me")

Hoe long have they been together?

They finally kissed in public!!!

Finally!

I honestly want to find something to hate about them (like it is so easy to do with Gio/Tommy or Colton/Jeff) but honestly I can't find it.

They love each other and they don't overdo it. Fuck, I guess we just root for them.

R546 Thats so fucking cute.

I'm waiting for Jonathan to post something on his Instagram of him kissing Jaymes or acknowledging he is his boyfriend.

R550

R550 There are no intimate pictures yet, but I think its just a matter of time since he seems to really like Jaymes.

R552 meet R546

R553,

R550 is talking about Jonathan posting something about Jaymes proclaiming his love for him.

R554, yes I am haha

This is a pretty clear declaration. What more does he have to do?

Bump.(I had to; Its starting to disappear on my watched history)

Smile, Jon!

Awwww

Mean Girl Wendy's

Should we just totally stab Wendy's?

I loved Wendy's dig at Jaymes

Cute attempt at a Lady and the Tramp kiss

Aww

[quote]Awwwww you guys!

Jaymes' tweet to Gio today in response to Tommy's expression of love for Gio.

Now that they are openly expressing affection for each other on social media, will GLAAD honor them with some sort of award?

Post sex

Get off the flames and onto the flamers!

❤

I hope Deb Messing's snarky comments about equal pay don't result in Jaymes losing his job. Has Jonathan actually worked in the last 10 years?

Poor Jaymes is like an abused wife who pathetically goes crawling back to her cheating husband.

Talk about low self-esteem. Sad!

Jonathan is a show host on the Food Network.

Food Network? LOL.

He's a great host!

Jeff acts like a father to Colton. What do you imagine the dynamics of Jon and Jaymes are like? What role do you think they play?

Jeff-Colton

Simon-Matt

Gio-Tommy

Lance-Tom

Matthew-Gus

Cheyenne-Jason

[bold] Jaymes-Jonathan

Greg-Robbie

When your man fine AF

Just imagine the thick loads Jaymes must spray onto Jonathan's eager face.

I don't think so. I think Jaymes spills his seed inside Jonny.

Jaymes' comment: "Don't be posting pics like this and then plan on getting any sleep tonight.:"

It’s official: they are selling their couplehood to advance their careers.

Wow, weren’t they hiding their love just a few days ago? But I guess if there’s publicity and money to be made off of your relationship, why wait?

Their Instagrams show they've been pretty open about their relationship since they were running around Provincetown together last summer.

Jaymes also posted

jaymesv: I’m very very proud of you btw

Jonathan commented on Jaymes post about the empty flight: the things we could do.

Sexting publicly is now a thing for them.

Awww.

Jonathan looked really uncomfortable when they were walking in public and Jaymes put his arm aroud him.

Jon is a host on the NBC show “First Look.” His clips were filmed in S. Korea. It’s all about The Olympics. Good for him.

BAEsball

IS it time for Thread #2?

Congrats on your Datalounge popularity, guys!

Damn, Jaymes looks hot in that pic.

I wish Jon and Jaymes could give an interview about how Jon decided to be out about his relationship, how they met each other, what it feels like to have found each other. They (shockingly) are not one of those gay couples who are annoying but seem genuine and sweet.

Part 2

Hurrah for the DL fave newbies 💙💙
