Did Kevin McHale just come out?

He didn’t tag McKenzie...or anyone. It’s just hands :/

Had he gone back in?

Again?

He looks like an anorexic, albino chimp.

I don't know her

R5 He was the guy in a wheelchair in GLEE and was recently in When we rise.

[quote][R5] He was the guy in a wheelchair in GLEE and was recently in When we rise.

...who?

for you R7

Who, indeed. He only did Glee, which as it turns out, was full of losers and didn’t last any longer than a fad. He’s thirty years old this year. He’ll be dead soon, as far as careers like his go.

I got the title confused with Joel McHale. What a let down.

Thought it was the basketball player. Boy am I out of it.

R9 it lasted six years—a Bit more than a fad. But I hated it.

How many times does he have to tell you people that he's straight??

[quote]Who, indeed. He only did Glee, which as it turns out, was full of losers and didn’t last any longer than a fad. He’s thirty years old this year. He’ll be dead soon, as far as careers like his go.

Or ACTUALLY dead.

If he's gay, he doesn't know anything about makeup as shown by the way he paints up his hag, er...best friend.

R15 I've seen so many fangirls saying it's Jenna, especially since you know.. they were on a skiing trip this past weekend! LOL. Their words btw, not mine. It's clearly a guy's hand. An interesting comment I saw said something about ASL, if the hands like that means something in ASL, that means it's probably Austin. Either way it's Austin or Marco, there is no way in hell it's a girl, and certainly not Jenna, who is clearly his hag.

r15 Um, I don't know anything about makeup either.

r15 That girl is like the Platonic idea of faghag. Jolly, fat, frumpy...

It means "I love you" in ASL

He doesn't seem to be keeping any secrets on his Twitter

Social Media can be so awful and stupid and pointless.

R10 So did I. Joel McHale is one tall glass of water.

Who cares, we only care about the hot ones.

I thought it was the hockey player.

Was this the wheelchair guy in Glee? I forget what they all look like and I'm not Googling it.

Oops, I guess I should have read upthread, question answered there.

Is he hung?

‘Glee’ actor maybe probably just came out on Instagram - Queerty

R19 Thanks, that probably means it's Austin, just as I suspected. They have been spending a lot of time together. I have no idea where this Marco guy came from, seems like he was the popular guess.

[quote]for you [R7]

Really? Like he'd be worth a google search.

He can walk?

A DLer possibly

The plot thickens

He has a decent body at this point.

But I agree, his career is over.

He seems to spend a lot of time in Brazil.

If it's about coming out, come the fuck out out.

Stop wussying with "cryptic instagrams".

R34 Plot twist: He's secretly dating a Brazilian guy and everyone is wrong about Austin.

Is it just me or is the other guy in the pic slightly darker? Like his skin tone is darker? Maybe it is Marco after all? He certainly seems to be spending a lot of time in Brazil. Guess who's from Brazil...

I guess this makes it official, it was Austin's hand.

Well, I guess it hasn't turned into the wort PR stunt... yet.

R39 Do they even have anything to promote? Aren't they both unemployed these days? I don't really see this as a PR stunt. He just isn't hiding the fact that they're together anymore.

"@druidDUDE: Most of you on here restore my faith in humanity and give me hope! But the rest of u are wilddddd and do the opposite. We don’t know each other. It’s really alllll good"

R41 What is he trying to say? I don't get it.

Austin in Kevin's Insta story part 2, part 1 was posted at R38.

The new coming out game: I'm showing you but I'm not telling you. I'm giving you deliberately cryptic hints on instagram to keep you talking about me for no other reason. Mission accomplished.

And how many fucks were given?

I'd say, that's an affirmative!

Kevin and Austin together again.

Well this went nowhere

Cute

Should we ask whoever did that interview with Lee Pace to out him officially?

Kevin's obviously not going to say anything unless someone pries it out of him

R51 He's not fooling anyone. It's an open secret he's with Austin. They've been inseparable for months. I do wish he would just say the words though, I don't get why he won't.

Maybe he would say the words if someone asked him about it in an interview or something, but why would anyone be interviewing Kevin McHale about anything at this point?

Best time would've been during the press tour for When We Rise. But then again, he wasn't as glass closeted back then.

Just Jared wrote a piece on Kevin and Austin volunteering. Is this quoted part tongue-in-cheek?

[Quote]Kevin, 29, and Austin, 24, worked together in the ABC mini-series When We Rise and they have [italics]remained close[/italics] ever since.

Well.. that was a fail, lets try it again.

[Quote]Kevin, 29, and Austin, 24, worked together in the ABC mini-series When We Rise and they have [italic]remained close[/italic] ever since.

[Quote]Best time would've been during the press tour for When We Rise. But then again, he wasn't as glass closeted back then.

I agree. Seems like he's found love, whether it's with Marco, Austin or someone else. It's a good reason to come out. Many actors have come out after getting serious with their partner, Matt Bomer, Ricky Martin etc.

Maybe they are just friend

Yeah, maybe they're just gal pals.

Austin in Kevin's Insta story.

GEEZ HER HOLE BEEN OUT 4 YRS

Austin is always at his house.. even if we don’t see him we see his dog there.. which means that he is too. So are they roommates or boyfriends? Doesn’t it kinda look like Austin is wearing underwear in the Instagram story or are they really short shorts? I kinda think tat they are dating

R62 Yeah, Kevin made it obvious by posting that video of Austin in his underwear. Either they are roommates or dating, my guess is they're dating.

He should do a Tumblr with pictures of dicks in his mouth like that Pevsner guy.

I don't think they're roommates, he's mentioned Justin Thorne (who was in NLT with him) is his roommate many times but has never said the same about Austin. Def dating.

Kevin was watching Queer Eye with his bro.. do straight guys watch that show?

Only with their wives/girlfriends R66

Austin has the highest hairline for a twenty something. It wouldn't look so weird if he had a decent hairstyle.

r66 I remember Dave Schilling saying in some podcast just recently that his wife introduced him to the show and now he's more obsessed with it than her and wants to talk about it constantly. I also linked to an AV Club article in the official Queer Eye thread about a straight guy who thanked this show for helping him deal with the anxiety of becoming a father for the first time. So yeah, I guess it does happen.

Of course, none of that applies in this case. Kevin's replies on gay Twitter outed him last year already so I don't understand why we're still having this conversation.

What did he say last year? Sorry I recently started following since his hands pic he posted.

R70 I mean....

alright.. yea that explains a lot lol.. so why is he so secretive about who he is dating?

Because he'd like to work outside just gay roles I assume

It still is a sucky world huh? Even in 2018 people can’t come out for fear of not getting a job

He shouldn't have been on Glee if he didn't want to be typecast.

Austin again

R72 Maybe the guy he's dating doesn't want to come out, which I assume is Austin.

[quote]He shouldn't have been on Glee if he didn't want to be typecast.

You mean as a paraplegic?

Wow he's with Austin again, at a baseball game this time. They practically spend 24/7 together, they're obviously dating.

Kevin with Austin at the game.

[quote] they're obviously dating.

This has been obvious for a long time now.

R74 yes, you right

Well apparently he has got it bad😂😂 as if we didn’t already know

Austin looks like someone’s tired, slightly pissed of mother in R80.

Welp, no speculation now.

Doesn't even tag his boyfriend

So he made it official. Wish he could tag Austin though.

Who is she?

How did someone so ugly get such a cute boyfriend?

R89 I think Kevin is cute.

Sure if you are into guys that looks like elves.

My first "celebrity" crush was Bernard from The Santa Clause so it holds up.

The gay media finally noticed.

Kevin is cute and has a huge ass for a thin frame guy

I can't tell who tops and who bottoms in this relationship. They both look like bottoms to me.

R95, either way, it’s probably just gentle twink-to-twink sex. The bottom in this relationship is likely not looking for a top to fuck his brains out.

They seem sweet together. Good for them.

R91 He is not ugly but sooo far to be a model

Wonder if him and Harry Shum had a thing during Glee

R93 They call him a "new bae" when they've been dating for over a year...

Kevin has a really nice body. Wonder how big his cock is?

Quote from a stupid fangirl. Who knew fangirls could be this delusional? Fucking hell.

[Quote]You all are nuts Kevin will cuddle anybody. It doesn't mean nesscairilly that he's in a relationship. Go find interviews they are facinating.

R100 Just shows how clueless they are. I knew they were dating back in September last year.

When I saw fangurls thinking the flaming queen Garrett Clayton was dating the girl he has been hanging out with recently I realized they really can be that oblivious. Not much has changed since the Liberace days apparently.

When will Darren Criss follow suit?

R106 Darren will have to get married, have baby, divorce first before he will come out as "bi". It may be a long way wait.

R85 Kevin is just bragging about having a young cute bf with that pic, right?

Kevin was never "in"

[quote]Darren will have to get married, have baby, divorce first before he will come out as "bi". It may be a long way wait.

It will be a really really long wait... like, endless.

All your waiting will be resolved if you realize gay for pay opportunists exist.

Is Kevin still in the industry?

He’s gonna have music out sometime or he is working on it

I suppose he still has Glee money. He hasn't done much work for a few years now.

Last thing he really did was "When We Rise" last year.

I doubt he got a ton of money from Glee from the way TV contracts usually work. He hosted a few seasons of a British panel show before When We Rise.

[quote]He hosted a few seasons of a British panel show before When We Rise.

I wondered how he met and became friends with Dino Fetscher.

R108 Maybe not but there are still fangirls commenting on that pic with Austin that Kevin is straight, he cuddles with everybody. No joke, a delusional fangirl really said that. Her words, not mine.

R112 Same for Austin though, they're both unemployed these days. More time for sex I guess. Kevin can coast on his Glee money for a while, but Austin? I can't imagine he has a lot, he should be thankful he has a rich boyfriend. They both should be looking for work, not having anything to do day in and day out can be depressing. Even if they have each other.

[quote]They both should be looking for work, not having anything to do day in and day out can be depressing.

The obsession about a celebrity working is fascinating.

How do you know that they are not working? Just because they don’t broadcast it all over social media doesn’t mean that they aren’t doing anything.

He "liked" this tweet, I think this is the closest confirmation we might get.

I honestly never thought he would post a pic of him and Austin cuddling so who knows.. I really hope he says something at some point.. or keeps posting adorable pics of them😍

R119 They are actors. Actors' roles show up on IMDb. Neither have currently anything there. They're not working.

There's also theater R122

I literally sent this story (the pic with Austin McKenzie) to all the major gay news websites. Only two have posted it so far, lol. I guess they don't care. He's not famous enough, sigh.

Like...as your actual job R124? Or just because?

R125 Just because. Literally took me two minutes, big deal lol. I thought people would like to know he came out and has a bf. I mean he is semi famous after all. CMS got a ton of publicity when he came out as "queer". Kevin.. not so much.

Austin deactivated his Twitter.

[Quote]I love how @druidDUDE isn't really responding to the speculation of if he is coming out or not because it looks like his approach to the situation is "This is normal" and not "I owe the world an explanation"

Disagree. It's called "attention whore". He literally teases us with pics without saying the words. That is worse than a simple "I'm gay".

R128 Disagree. He tries to live normality. Unapologetically, because nobody should apologize for his/her sexuality or feel any need to declare themself. That's the opposite of an attention whore imho.

R129 He can't say three simple words? He keeps teasing us with pics. It's one thing if he would live his life and not post about it, but he chose to post about it. He invited the speculation, yet won't tell us anything, that is attention seeking.

R130 I'm sure he has said those "three simple words" already often enough in his private life. But as a public figure he has shared also lots of pics of his private life publicly - and now he is also sharing another aspect of his personality. The way how to do it is entirely to him. People will always speculate no matter what he posts or doesn't posts. It is his life and his choices. He doesn't beard and he supports the LGBTQ community. And every decision affects also his bf's life. I'm totally fine with the way he handles it all. And I will never understand why some people think that public figures have the absolute duty to come out. As if we - the not public figures - have an entitlement of every public figures coming out. It is a good think of couse when and if they come out, but it still schouldn't be a duty. Give him time - maybe (hopefully) he will be also fully out in those three "simple" words. You weren't out from day 1 of your life either... In his case I'm fine with what he does. As I said: his life - his decisions.

I don't think anyone in the public eye has a "duty" to come out but I think if you're already living openly and you post pictures of you significant other on social media, it's sure as shit helpful to stand up and be counted. It might not seem like a big deal to someone who is out and lives a comfortable life being themselves but there are still a lot of closeted people who look up to these celebrities who have the balls to publicly come out and show that it's okay or that it can be okay. If he wants it to be normal then I don't understand why he wouldn't just say something like "yes I am gay" or "yes I do have a boyfriend."

He's causing more of a ruckus not saying anything

OK - I'm sorry that I - maybe - overreacted a bit. I agree that nobody should feel any duty to come out, but of course the youth and people who can't come out for the sake of their lives look up on all out and proud public figures. Where does he live-- LA? Maybe it already feels normal being gay in LA. At least thats my interpretation of his whole coming out and how he handles it. Living in a gay bubble let you forget sometimes that it is still very important to have out and proud public figures - I'm living in such a bubble myself and am guilty, sorry.

In this time and age everyone is kind of forced to have an social media account and share everything with others - and I bet it is sometimes especially for public figures quite difficult to decide what should stay private and what not. People will alway be not satisfied enough and demand more.

He has obviously decided to share also this aspect of his "normal" private life via social media. And it's always a process, never a single point when you come out. Maybe we are witnessing right now only step one or step two of this process - who knows that. There is no guide "How to do a public coming out correctly" because there is no single correct way (except for Kevin Spacey...;-) And that people want clarity already in this stage of this process isn't his faullt. Maybe step 3 or step 4 is to say those words.... I'd give him another 6 months and he'll be probably fully out out.

Looks like some of them are picking it up R124

A blind item from Entertainment Lawyer, so take it with a grain of salt. I rather doubt that this news flash would be deemed worthy of a tabloid cover.

This barely closeted former B+ list mostly television actor on a now defunct singing ensemble show is about to come out with his barely closeted actor boyfriend. The former is trying to get a tabloid cover for the announcement. Kevin McHale ("Glee")/Austin McKenzie (Broadway Revival of "Spring Awakening")

R135 B+ list 😂😂😂

D List more like ... People won't even recognize him without glasses and out of a wheelchair.

If he's really trying to release an album maybe he wants to come out and announce the release in the hopes it will get more media attention. I don't think enough people care...(just me).

Here we go.

WELP That was anticlimactic.

The king of casual coming outs 😂

No magazine cover for him now then I guess.

I am so proud of him!!!!

Kevin being gay was known for years. He wasn't even in the closet for Glee. He openly dated guys just never went public with anything and remained discrete.

Murphy only hires gays or guys that give sexual favours to him.

R144 Are you implying all the Glee guys are gay or at least did Murphy some "favors"?

[quote]Murphy only hires gays or guys that give sexual favours to him.

So where do I fit in...? Oh, wait. Never mind. Sigh...

r146 I dont get bi vibes from Chord.

So do you know who else he has dated? I am just curious if you know any others?

He has a ton of tweets like that, R139.

R145 Not impying anything it's a fact. Yes Matthew, Cory, Mark & Chord each had to do sexual acts of varying nature. Chord gave the bare minimum which is why he was dumped after his first season. That was fine because he thought he could make it without Glee. Only when the offers didn't come did he go back with his tail between his legs and gets on his knees. Cory did anything for free drugs and Mark played along because he got access to teen girls and connections into the underage network. Harry never did because he wasn't hired as an actor at first and he most certainly isn't Murphy's type. He became friends with Falchuk so stayed. If the guys were straight and Murphy wasn't interested or they didn't play, they got dumped fairly early like the Glee Project winners in season one. The Glee Project was only created so Murphy could sample 'fresh' talent, which he did with Melissa Benoist's ex. He was hired and guaranteed to win the rigged competition in season 2. Jenner had been auditioning and trying desperately to get on Glee since season 2 and offered extras.

Naya used to fuck Falchuk and certain writers to get extra screentime, which pissed off Lea and kick started their feud until a physical altercation took place which resulted in Naya being fired and only brought back because Fox freaked out about pissing off a vocal fanbase and eroding viewers further.

Naya wasn't the only one that had abortions either. Lea had one in season 2. Chord is probably the father of Heather's first baby too. She was cheating on her long term partner a lot so it's a guess as to who the actual father is as Heather's BF was hardly in LA. Jenner and Melissa cheated on their partners too with each other and Mark cheated on Naya. Mark only viewed her as a pussy when he couldn't get anything younger. Naya was actually invested.

Murphy never liked Diana and only hired her because they needed someone fast for filming immediately and by season 3 he hated her. Diana was always putting up with sexual harassment and couldn't wait to leave.

All of that came from a director who worked on there. She described it as one of her worst jobs ever and it was the most toxic and unprofessional set she had ever seen.

r150 - what acts did they have to perform?

What about Kevin, Chris or Darren?

R150 I can't believe Murphy got away with all this.... Will he someday get his comeuppance like Bryan Singer? I guess Kevin will at least have materials for a tell all when other career opportunities dry up.

Mystery solved.

Queerty posted about his Ariana Grande tweet too.

It even made The Sun.

R150 Do you actually have any concrete evidence of all of this or are you just talking out your arse?

R153 "Mysterty" LOL... more like willful PR ignorance.

r150 Did Lea Michelle and Diana Agron hook up ?

Did grande's team pay him to promote her fucking terrible new song?

Is he out yet...

Austin is such a goofball lol.

R161 Wish he would get a haircut... lanky hair and that high hairline make him look strange. Maybe when he gets an acting job again...

[quote] @FallingAway9: I totally thought @druidDUDE has been out for years, but apparently not? Congrats on still being the coolest, dude. Love you. (And your bf is adorbs!)

[quote] @druidDUDE lol so did I

He has not been "out for years" and he damn well knows it. He purposely hid his sexuality during Glee.

But it's literally been years since Glee ended so... he's technically correct?

Yes, he was closeted during Glee, but after that not so much. Cute that he answered that tweet considering the person referred to his adorable bf.

Austin has a nice ass.

Love his latest IG story: Austin and him [not visible] obviously sharing a bath tub 🛁🌈❤️

Cute

So where's Austin's coming out?

R170 I think Austin is bi, despite what everyone here thinks. I have seen his likes on Instagram, he likes posts of naked women. I am not making this up. Follow him for yourself and you will see it too. With that said, it doesn't happen very often. He likes posts of shirtless and naked guys every day. It seems like he's more into guys. He' probably a Kinsey 4 or 5.

Cute

Cute that he mentions his bf. Still wish Austin would acknowledge everything.

Kevin working out with Chord Overstreet. Good to see some of the Glee cast still hang out.

Why didn't he take Austin to the NSYNC party?

R175 Austin is in hiding? Or not a fan? Kevin's pants are so tight... but nice bulge.

Cute

Austin looks like a lesbian... there I said it.

He would look better with a different (shorter) hairstyle, R178.

I guess Austin doesn't give him hickeys

Kevin's got moves.

[quote] Kevin McHale wants to clear the air about one thing: he's never been in hiding.

[quote] The Glee star opened up to veteran journalist Marc Malkin during a Facebook Live where he got candid about his sexuality, that Ariana Grande tweet and much more.

[quote] "If somebody was a big fan and following everything I was doing [on social media], like the people I interact with on Twitter on a daily basis, I think there was zero surprise. People knew," he explained when asked if he was hiding his sexuality on social media.

[quote] "The organizations I've been supporting and all that sort of work has been apparent, at least to me. I've always supported LGBT organizations and things like that because I felt like I had a vested interest in this where I wanted to help out."

Austin finally posting a pic with Kevin.. still being coy though.

But in more important news: He finally cut his hair and already looks a million times better.

R184 Good for him

R184 Smug kevinmchale commented: "I’m a wonderful photographer"

R183 Who took that oddly framed photo? Their dog?

R184 At least now, he looks like a boyish lesbian.

R188 and yet he's still hotter than keebler elf looking Mchale.

R189 McHale has the excuse of being older... Austin is already on his way of losing his looks.

R183 no point in being coy, on the livestream with Marc Malkin kevin said he and austin had been together for a year and a half

I love how Kevin opens up about his boyfriend without actually mentioning who it is.

Kevin talks about coming out and the BF.

Kevin on his "I was never in the closet" press tour.

Cute

R194 Who is his ex? He said he was with someone for 8 years? That's a long time.

R196 I thought it might be Daniel Esposito

Kevin admitted to watching porn.

[Quote]Well, @DianeBlackTN, as someone who has watched a bit (👀) of porn and a lot of violent movies and video games - I’ve had exactly 0% inclination to go shoot up a school or shoot anything anywhere. Also, things called “studies” with “facts” also say there’s no correlation.

Cute

[Quote]I love boy(s) Happy #PrideMonth

Austin on Kevin's Insta story today.

"Perks of being a has-been"

Did Kevin and Austin break up? Not a single word from Austin wishing Kevin a happy birthday, which is weird.

I have the same feeling... R203

Id fuck Kevin.

R203 R204 There you go

Not to mention his birthday wasn't actually until today.

Well, Chord remembered Kevin's birthday...

He's in Mexico with Austin per his instagram

R209 Here's a video.

Didn’t realize how homely he is!

R219 He has more money... that makes up for a lot of things.

Cute

Who?

Who?

What?

From the chin to the eye folds, they look like twins. That relationship must be a (gay) narcissist's heaven, and just short of dating your own clone.

R222 Kevin is a Glee actor. His boyfriend Austin is less known. He was in DLB's When We Rise.

Happy 1/2 way to 50 to the cutest boy in the world. 🤟🎂🔪

R225 Some of those comments were extremely painful to read. Ignorance and denial are strong among fangirls, huh?

Cory Michael Smith (Gotham actor) liked the pic in R225.

And? R227

R226 Yep, even when e posted that hand holding pic people still thought he was straight and that it was a girl! LOL

R228 Just thought he was interesting. Is Cory even gay?

Cory came out as queer months ago R230

Aww

Kevin had a dream about Shawn Mendes.

[Quote]Had a dream about Shawn M. last night. We were at a concert and he was...flirting with me....in front of my bf and even kissed my hand (I let him). Then I ran away like, "Can you believe the audacity!?"

Cute

[Quote]Austin>Shawn just saying...

It's a Spring Awakening reference R243 Austin played the character Melchior in the Deaf West version

Thanks, r244.

Nice pits

His boyfriend is not bad looking but he's androgynous. He looks like a lesbian in many of his pictures. I would totally have performance issues with him.

Hoein'

Good for him, I guess, but there's something....incongruous about him looking all jacked. It's weird.

I really ant to bareback him. Oh, wait, I already did.

No. I did not fart in the elevator.

He’s been out forever. You just have to look at any of his tweets/instagram posts/interviews. He ain’t hiding anything.
