Who Will Come Out in 2021? Part 2

Only dykes. No gay male actors, certainly not anyone famous.

Keep your chins up, r1.

Looks like Aaron Rodgers is going deeper into the closet

If this is the official thread, link to the previous

Jannik Schumann didn't get enough attention on the last thread.

Apparently, Bill Kaulitz is still NOT GAY & does not want to label his sexuality, but revealed in his autobiography that he had no gag reflex by the time he was 18. Then he turns around & outs his ex bf, Alex Claster, as a closet case who married a woman & had a child to cover up his homosexuality & is living a secret life.

Fans are praising him for coming out as bi. From the little spoilers I've seen on Twitter, it seems most of his experiences or "relationships" with females happened at ages 6-13.

[Quote] Then he turns around & outs his ex bf, Alex Claster, as a closet case who married a woman & had a child to cover up his homosexuality & is living a secret life.

Oh, Bill, why can't you behave?

When I glanced at this and saw Pedro Pascal and 'comes out' in the same sentence, I was shocked until I realized what it actually said

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Aw, he found a nice lesbian to settle down with

Was Holly Goodchild busy?

Lindsey Graham will announce he and Ted Cruz are an item and Ted is divorcing his wife.

r12, EWWW!!!

Finn Jones?

Thomas Doherty?

I've been thinking that since this R15. And honestly, it was pretty convenient* that he was supposedly dating Dove Cameron.

Who is Thomas Doherty? He's cute

Speed skater Matt Rittenhouse

R18 He's been out for a while if you check out his Instagram

Don’t look at me!

In the preview gifs, David Dobrik pings to high heaven.

Exhibit B.

Another bisexual woman

Some are interpreting this as Zendaya inching out of the closet.

Can she drag Tom Holland out too? R24

I don't follow Tom Holland but when I saw this t-shirt/pants combo posted on one of the Madden threads, I did wonder...

Jacob Elordi

...

.

The Jacob Elordi quote is a little odd.

[Quote] Who was your first cinematic crush growing up?

[Quote] It would have probably been Orlando Bloom, who played Legolas from The Lord of the Rings. I was like, "Wow, this guy is perfect." He was so pure and fine.

I don't think Aussies or Brits use "fine" in the hot/sexy sense. There's certainly room to deny, which his teams are likely very happy about.

R7 wow, didn’t have Bill pegged as a such a petty, vindictive, hypocritical queen. I mean, I had him pegged as a queen like the rest of the world with working eyes and ears, but I didn’t think he was so cruel and bitter. Lost a bit of respect for him, honestly, and I was a casual fan.

Oh well, luckily he’s got a hot twin brother we can stan, who hasn’t done anything so nasty yet, at least not that we know of.

[quote]The Jacob Elordi quote is a little odd.

From the same interview he talks about his first kiss. What is he on about?

Elordi: She was a tall girl, and I was myself a tall girl.....

Elordi seems quite insufferable. I expect those movies with Joey King are dreadful but he's already tried to ungraciously distance himself from them even while he's already having more "credible" success with Euphoria. It wouldn't surprise me if he's another Alex Whatsisface from Magic Mike.

I think Ryan Seacrest is either going to adopt a child or have a baby via a surrogate. That may finally drive him to come out.

After having that stroke on air, he'd be a fool to rush into fatherhood.

Zendaya can't be gay! She dated Tom Holland!!

I don’t count people who come out as bi, pan, whatever in between nonsense because most of those people are just wanting attention.

Have you anyone in mind?

She also dated Odell Beckham Jr. so you’re right R35, she can’t possibly be gay.

Zendaya has also been linked with Connor Jessup's from co-star, Trevor Jackson. What is Jackson's story?

*former co-star

Trevor Jackson, Joey Pollari & Connor Jessup:

Pedro pascal

Owen Joyner

My money's still on Jack Bannon.

Dylan Douglas

This thread is slow. Time of year?

Gay athletes who accompany their coming out story with lurid half nude photospreads in a shameless ploy to get more dick while grousing about about how "shy and and unsure" they are.

Taking off your clothes doesn't mean you're a confident person.

Griffin Gluck maybe? I just get a vibe from him

^ Time for a name change.

He's friends with Thomas Barbusca.

He's also friends with Milo Manheim

2 hotties

Didn't Gluck like homophobic tweets or something?

Edgar Ramirez

Hamza Haq

Good guess, R56.

Ronen Rubinstein

[quote]Q: I applaud you for playing and embracing a gay character. Some actors feel that this would be a detriment to their careers. How do you think Hollywood views actors who take on these roles?

[quote]A: This question seems to imply that one is straight or an ally; however I identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ Community. For me, playing T.K has been cathartic and somewhat of an awakening. For the first time ever, I finally feel comfortable and truly free to express myself, both in my life and career. Representing a LGBTQIA+ character on television is an honor and privilege – and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

That sounds very PR prepared. Kudos to him for coming out, though.

I wonder if he's gay, bi,...?

He's a Lesbian, Rose.

That's the thing about these types of coming outs, we'll probably never know R60

Ronen is an adorable little Russian himbo. I've been following him for a while.

he's not Russian

He's Israeli R63

He has a girlfriend right now so probably bi if anything

You won't see celebrities come out as gay anymore. They'll be vague or use the word queer so they can go back to bearding if they need too.

And yet plenty of stars are still coming out as gay. Huh. Fancy that.

Even if they don't come out as specifically gay, as long as they date a guy publicly I'll be happy

[Quote] You won't see celebrities come out as gay anymore.

Hold my beer.

You get more and more that kind of response from actors who want to play gay characters but then you only see them in public with girlfriends.

At least in 911 lone star one of the members of the gay couple is gay, that's way more than in most shows

Even his coming out was clearly pr elaborated at least was way better than Lucas Hedges nonsense. And frankly i can't see a further motivation behind this, he is already playing a gay character and fans love him, the interviewer give him a clear opportunity of not saying nothing but he chose to do it

It's quite obvious that Ronen is not straight, in fact if you put him and Rafael together and ask people who is the gay one people will chose Ronen without a doubt

From Wikipedia, the first search result when you google Ronen Rubinstein:

[quote]Ronen Rubinstein was born in Rehovot, Israel,[1] the son of Russian-Jewish emigrants from the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, part of then Soviet Union (now Kazakhstan).

Not Matt Gaetz

Her?

There are people who are better in the closet

Wardrobe mistresses?

R77 Republicans who vote against gay rights all the time.

How is it better that those people stay in the closet? To easier do their dirty deeds?

Anyway, this thread isn't about shitbags like that.

R79 Do you really think that Lindsay Graham is going to come out? The guy who prefered to faint fighting againts gay rights?=

I don't want him, i hope the door of the closet is tightly shut and he gets no air to breathe

The closet enables him to do what he does. I'd like the walls blown out on his.

I don't think this thread should be about Graham and his ilk, though.

On eof the Game of Thrones guys. Will, Finn, Pedro etc.

R82 Or Richard

BMX pro Corey Walsh

Rahul Kohli posts pro-LGBT memes every other day these days. I think he's a pretty good bet to come out as queer or pansexual or whatever else people say these days to avoid saying "bisexual."

Awesome R84. He looks like the type of guy to come home and crack open a beer, lay on the sofa, and fart. Someone who doesn’t take himself all that seriously. It’s good to see that kind of representation in our community.

Not that I mind the ones who have to narcissistically post their torsos and advertise their promiscuity every 5 mins. Those instaclones also have a place in my heart.

^ I agree

Your first thought is that he farts? I guess...

Alexandra Shipp?

Looks like it...

Is that two men or two women or what, r90?

[Quote] Is that two men or two women or what?

Yes.

Yes what R92?

[QUOTE] Yes what [R92]?

Yes No

Alexandra is a girl and her "friend" is trans

Sebastian Stan Richard Madden

Richard Madden maybe, he is not even trying to hide his boyfriends but Sebastian Stan is on a disney show and enjoying his best moment so i highly doubt. There are way more probabilities of him with a new beard than him coming out

Richard has a Marvel movie coming out R97 so we might start seeing him bearding soon

Where has Sebastian Stan given an indication that he's family?

All I remember are all the times he seemed to share clothes with Chris Evans R99

And well, Chris has his own share of rumours. This is one of the cases of having a gay brother being really helpful

Anything compelling?

Julian Morris

Miles Heizer

[Quote] Miles Heizer

Gurl, plea'

R104 I know. He is still not out officially and won't be until he comments on his sexuality.

R105 We can't even update Connor's wikipedia page to say he's dating Miles, even though Connor has openly said that he is.

That's more to do with Wikipedia's draconian idiosyncrasies about what it considers reliable source material than anything else. They remove anything with second-hand sources and someone saying they're dating the subject of the article when the subject has never said so either way doesn't count. They will count a trusted publication to say so however.

Tom Cotton?

Froy

Fox's 911: LONE STAR actor Ronen Robinstein came out as bi.

“I fully identify as bisexual,” Rubinstein says in an exclusive interview over Zoom from his Los Angeles area home. “I literally just got goosebumps saying that. It feels so good to talk about it, it feels so good to finally be comfortable with it.”

Rubinstein called his awakening “a journey” that was enabled by his work as an actor.

“The biggest thing for me is where I come from, it’s like people like me and people who have identified as bisexual or gay or as any part of the community, you’re just not welcomed. It’s as brutally honest as that,” he says. “It’s either you faced insane amounts of profanity, like the F-word was thrown around all the time or you would get your ass kicked if you were gay. So there was definitely a fear of sort of embracing how I felt. I was definitely more aware of it in high school. I was aware of my feelings and how I started looking at men, but I couldn’t talk to anybody about it.”

Dammit R110 I was just going to post that lol

Even though I'd prefer him to be gay, at least he used the term bisexual and not one of those other god awful terms that a lot of people use nowadays.

bi=gay

most likely he'll never been seen with a guy only a girl

R114 Probably. Although I would love if that wasn't the case here.

If you come out as "bi" as a young actor it means he wants to date men. If he only wants to date women he definitely doesn't come out.

Agreed. And it probably means he actually has a boyfriend.

[quote]If you come out as "bi" as a young actor it means he wants to date men.

If he didn't want to date men, he would have come out as "fluid."

his girlfriend is Jessica Parker Kennedy

I take it Emma Corrin (The Crown) has come out.

emmalouisecorrin ur fave queer bride

But with a terrible taste

I thought she was already out.

She's been dating Christine and the Queens openly for ages hasn't she?

R110 I really didn't expected that... but I'm glad that there are actors who still come out as LGB, nowadays is mostly TQ+ fugs.

Nonsense. Famous people almost never come out as trans.

Still when attractive or semi famous people come out, more tend to come out as Q (whether they're gay, bi or even straight).

Interesting that Ronen idenfities as bi. His on screen boyfriend identifies as gay (he's married to a man). It's nice to see bi/gay roles going to bi/gay actors. Also, FINALLY an actor coming out. Been a shitty year where really no famous men have come out. Not until now anyway (I don't pay attention to lesbians).

Is Ronen really bi or just claiming to be bi? Is it queerbaiting because he plays a gay character? He's currently dating a woman. I wonder if he will ever date a man publicly. I know more and more bi men acknowledge their sexuality these days, it's not like back in the day where they would either identify as straight or gay, but the fact that he's dating a woman makes me question his coming out.

I wonder if anyone on the internet will try to villainize Ronen as anti-trans for not coming as pansexual instead of bisexual.

The trans trash talk is lame. I guess they live in your mind rent free.

R114 That's not the case.

Generally a guy who doesn't want to be seen dating another guy never comes out as bisexual, queer maybe, but not bisexual

R128 He is well liked by the fans and he totally embraced his storyline (unlike other actors playing gay roles). Rafael Silva is gay so there's even less pressure on Ronen to come out.

And dating a girl doesn't make him less bisexual

R131 I know. But some celebs say they're bisexual to queerbait yet they never actually date the same sex. Has Ronen ever had boyfriends?

R125 But most of them come out as queer because it's very comfortable. It's a word that seems to mean different for everyone, you don't have to acknowledge former fake relationships and in fact you can be basically straigth (or at least straight for the public) and take as many gay roles as you want without any criticism becuase you are part of the community (while in fact most people perceive you as straight which is useful to get other type of roles).

R132 That's pretty common on women, specially singers, but not on male.

On guys the more that you get is the i have a crush one name other male celebrity and things like that. Something in the way of the 1975 singer.

But most actors who came out as bi end dating men (unless they were married to a woman the moment of the coming out)

[Quote] some celebs say they're bisexual to queerbait yet they never actually date the same sex.

I don't think that's really true. It's more that opposite sex relationships are "better" utilised for publicity as straight people feel invested in them.

so this thread proves that we still have a long way to go as a community. We crap over people when they refuse to come out even when it's obvious, but trash them when they come out as a label we don't like because they are dating someone of the opposite sex.

It’s fine that Ronen wants to label himself, but it’s also fine that people are suspicious until he dates a man. That’s how the court of public opinion works.

R136 Exactly.

You can actually never have dated someone of the same sex and still be bisexual, just like you can be gay and never date someone of the same sex, or be a straight virgin. Orientation is an internal thing, not about who you date. Anyway, I believe Ronen.

Very true, R138.

[Quote] it’s also fine that people are suspicious until he dates a man.

No man is coming out as LGBT when he isn't. Even that tiresome Tyler Posey enjoys dick sucking.

R140 I thought he only dated trannies. That's not the same thing as being gay.

R140 Really? Have you missed all the thousands of gay baiting cunts on tiktok? Straight guys joke around and kiss their guy friends to get clout. It's sad but it's true.

Kissing someone isn't coming out as anything. Ask any drunk coed.

Homiesexual isn't coming out. Ronen Whatisface has not come out for shits and giggles. But go ahead, stamp your little hooves.

R142, no, they don't. Not in large numbers. Why do you think women are more likely to identify as bi? Why do you think most bi men are in the closet

[Quote] Straight guys joke around and kiss their guy friends to get clout. It's sad but it's true.

I don't think that's sad. If anything, it shows greater acceptance, of numerous things - male affection, for one.

Agreed R146. The more straight guys are accepting of things like that, the fewer of them will be beating gay and bi men to death for kissing and holding hands. I'll take it.

R145 Yes, they do. Lots of straight guys on there pretending to be gay or bi. Some have even been caught lying about it. Just check out tiktok shaderoom.

R146 I didn't know we were celebrating gay baiting now, but ok. I must have missed the memo where gay baiting is a good thing instead of a homophobic thing.

I think it's ok to question the motives and honesty of a celebrity who up until know is mostly unknown. Reaching for clout is a thing

r133 This is so true.

R148, no straight guys pretend to be gay or bi, unless it's a "gay for pay" thing.

Again, why do you think most bi men are in the closet?

R152 You must be new to TikTok.

R152, I'm not on TikTok because I'm not twelve. But the idea that straight guys want people to think they're gay is hysterical. Why do you think the closet still exists?

I mean, he could be bisexual AND an attention whore. I don't see why y'all are acting like it's an either/or thing. He is an actor, after all.

R135 I think it depends of the way they come out.

And i take Lucas Hedges as a perfect example. The guy seem inteligent and articulate but his coming out was pure nonsense and purely self serving. The fact that he was very private before the coming out but ater that he was seen with his girlfriend everywhere did the rest.

And i like the guy and i think he is a very good actor but that coming out was pure opportunistic crap.

I don't have a problem with someone like Janelle Monae saying she is queer because i'm pretty sure that's the way she identifies but when is some actor who was obviously bearding in the past my reaction is different.

Anyway, this is DL, the bitchiness is very high and i don't think it reflects the oppinion of the biggest part of the community

Hedges didn't even "come out" - he never said he was bi or gay

R152 There are way more gays closeted in Hollywood than out of the closet.

For a bisexual actor there's absolutely no incentive to come out unless he really wants because unlike their gay fellows he doesn't have to fake to date women. Of course life is not that simple and he could fall for another guy and that complicates things, but for the uber ambitious young actors bi is a clear advantage

R157 He said he was not totally straight.

To be fair the first time i heard him i thought he was coming out as asexual.

The curious thing is that ridiculous coming out worked perfectly fine, because he avoided criticism for playing so many gay characters, the gay rumours (Hedges didn't have bisexual rumours, people thought he was gay) vanished, and for most people he is still straight. Oh and he was praised on gay magazines for being brave. That's a plus

I don't consider Hedges "coming out" as an actual coming out. He could've just said he was part of the LGBTQ community or something but what he said was really nothing and just a way to keep people from criticizing that another straight actor was playing a gay role.

I think Hedges was pushed back into the closet. Before the incident he became "famous" for, he seemed pretty out in the open. The only reason I even learned about him, was because a friend told me he was an openly gay actor that I might like. Not long after that, he was in the news and a bunch of stuff was missing from his Instagram.

R160 He said his sexuality was on a spectrum.

It's pretty obvious he is not straight but in the end his coming out was pretty coward, specially because he put a lot of effort on being seen with his girlfriend just ater the coming out.

And even as ridiculous as it was, it was pretty effective because if in a near (or not so near ) future he end dating a guy (and i'm pretty sure he'll do) he just can say he came out ages before.

As absurd as it was, it was pretty effective.

Of course it only worked because he had no intentions to be a male lead on commercial films. He can act and he has the connections so he could afford a soft coming out. He was not brave at all, but he was smart

[Quote] for the uber ambitious young actors bi is a clear advantage

Are you talking about the casting couch?

Not me! I’m engaged to a woman and it’s true love!

R21 Dobrik is a creep and a grifter, we don’t want him.

His former collaborator Josh Peck—also a closet case but actually likeable and talented—recently deleted all trace of his content made with Dobrik from his Instagram account, and seems to be starting to do the same for his YouTube channel too. Josh was one of Dobrik’s highest-profile and most popular associates, so this really doesn’t look good.

R156/R157 my millennial brain gets so scrambled whenever anyone brings up Lucas Hedges, because by association I automatically start thinking about Vanessa Hudgens and Lucas Grabeel, then on reflex start humming HSM songs. It’s hell.

R163 No (but that would work too), i was talking that they don't need to fake relationships (i'ts incredible how bad are some good actors at faking interest for their supposed girlfriends).

It's obvious that there are some gay actors who don't give a damm about faking being straight, but i think for others the constant lies are not that easy to digest and i wouldn't be suprised that some drug problems have its roots in how difficult is to be another person every minute of your life

I think Josh Hutcherson did something similar several years ago he eventually said something like that he wasn't exactly 100% straight.

[quote]I think Josh Hutcherson did something similar several years ago he eventually said something like that he wasn't exactly 100% straight.

But of course quickly followed it by saying he had never been with a man sexually.

R169 I doubt Lucas Hedges can say the same

Unpopular opinion: I have changed my opinion about Froy. He posted that song and the meaning behind the lyrics is very interesting. The song is deffo about Richard. I think Froy is growing tired of hiding and wants a public relationship. I think he might come out when they break up.

Nathaniel Rateliff

I always get Lucas Hedges and Lucas Till confused, since they even bear a passing resemblance, so here I've been thinking you guys thought Young MacGyver was about to come out.

R173, to be fair, Till hasn’t been partnered in a few years. I still follow him on social media as a potential.

Iain De Caestecker, a Scottish lower tier Marvel actor.

John Wesley Shipp of THE FLASH

R176 He's going to die in the closet

I thought Shipp was already out

Miles Heizer!!!

Please, all of Shipp's fans know he's gay. He has never bearded either. He just has never said it out loud.

Both Richard Madden and Froylan Guettdggsgdgwhatever will be be leading LA’s Pride Parade in June.

And Heizer is not in the closet. You don't post pics kissing you boyfriend when you are in the closet

r182 On the Miles & Connor threads, there's been an on and off debate over whether Miles is in the closet or not, since he hasn't publicly come out.

[Quote] I thought he only dated trannies. That's not the same thing as being gay.

You mean he's dated men because that's what they are.

R183 You won't stop being gay just because you don't shout it from the rooftops.

He published a pic kissing his boyfriend, you can't be clearer than that.

That reminds me of all the media ignoring that Nicholas Hamilton went to the It premiere with his boyfriend but he never said he was gay before so they were too scared to publish anything

Maybe you can't publish he is gay on wikipedia without Miles saying the words but that doesn't change he is publicly out

Kissing your longtem boyfriend on instagram posing is publicly coming out, what is wrong with people.

Manu Rios. Isn't he playing gay in the new season of Elite? Maybe that will prompt him to finally come out?

R187 With Elite you never know, maybe your character is straight in the first two episodes and then starts to make threesomes.

Anyway, i don't think Manu Ríos is in the closet. I remember an interview where he was questioned about his first crushes and he said a woman an a man (i don't remember who)

R186 Wasn't it Connor who posted it? I know Miles has posted a couple things with Connor but never anything explicit. Especially to his actual feed and not stories.

r186 Miles posted it on his IG stories. That was the incredible thing about it because nobody thought there would even be a pic of them kissing, let alone that Miles would post it.

R188 Elite trailer just dropped. Manu Rios will play Ander's love interest.

R189 nope it was Miles.

[Quote] nope it was Miles.

Oh noes. Now the usual suspects can't drag Miles for being a bad boyfriend, just a bad wikipedia entry.

Stephen Ford

Griffo?

R195 I've been waiting for him to come out for years

Do religious people tend to use the term "agape love"? It's not a term with which I'm familiar.

Gaetz.

He already "came out" as straight when people were mocking him for the Nestor stuff

If anyone is going to come out, it's going to be Nestor

R200; Like Schock, he’ll proudly come out in seven or so years, with Nestor still in the shadows.

More and more I'm thinking Gaetz was using Nestor as bait to get to underage girls rather than in the previously suspected cabana boy role.

Lana Del Rey as pansexual.

Again, why would he need Nestor as "bait" - when you order girls off Seeking Arrangement, the only bait you need is $$$$

Maybe he's going to say he was getting these girls for Nestor.

Is this actually Dominic Fike? I'm not really familiar with him.

It probably is. Nothing that I can see that says that he isn't LGBT. I'm assuming that photo was deleted since it's not on Kevin's IG R206

Colton has come out. Who knew?

He only needed two reality shows searching for the right girl to realize he was into guys.

And he made an Ian Thorpe with a very straight autobiography

R206 It's for a music video

R208 That could've been done in an Instagram post. No need for the circus

If str8s can use their sexuality for publicity...

I'm actually surprised about Colton (not surprised that he's gay, but shocked that he was finally honest about it)

If it gets Gus back on my TV in tight fitting clothes, it's worth it regardless of who the show is about.

Apparently, Taylor Lautner is working on a new movie. Guess that rules him out this year.

A female musician named Angel Olsen has come as gay.

^^^ I just looked her up, not surprising since she had an album in '16 called My Woman

My spidey senses tell me that this is the year Kerry Rhodes FINALLY comes out

^ That would be cool if he did

Another former Bachelor

Nothing against Kerry Rhodes, r218, but for the love of Christ, why can't an active, decent pro athlete come out? I guess Aaron Rodgers has welded that closet door shut, if he's even gay in the first place, but surely there must be SOMEBODY?

American team sports are too homophobic for anyone to come out publicly and risk their careers.

25+ people who have come out since 2000 and beyond.

Didn't realize Eddie Izzard was trans

R224 Eddie claims to have been openly trans since the mid 80s.

[Quote] why can't an active, decent pro athlete come out?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You don't think there wouldn't be a major payday for the first (notable - sorry Jason Collins) athlete to play one of the big four sports? If he was decent, or even dare we dream all-star caliber, the ad money would be rolling in. I think athletes are afraid, but of what? Fans? This isn't Europe with stands full of hooligans. Their teammates? That's a better possibility, but no one would dare do anything, and as long as he could prove himself on the court/field/ice he should be okay. I think they are just terrified of change, and I wish one of them could realize the amazing good he could do, both for the gay community at large and gay athletes in desperate need of role models.

And yes, I certainly realize it's easy for me to sit on my non-athletic fat behind and say that.

^ They don't want to be known as "that gay athlete" or to rock the boat

[quote] I guess Aaron Rodgers has welded that closet door shut

I wonder who Olivia Munn was referring to in this interview...😏

She was probably talking about that huge flamer, Tom Brady!

[Quote] the ad money would be rolling in.

You think they would make more from endorsements than when they were perceived as straight?

Actually I do, r231, but it would be kind of threading the needle. A superstar like Brady or Rodgers, especially who the NFL is trying to push internationally? No, but they wouldn't need the money anyway. A scrub who is hanging on by his fingernails? No, because most of the country would perceive it as some kind of publicity stunt like Michael Sam, but he wasn't making any endorsement money anyway.

But a "good" player or player who'd been an all-star maybe once or twice? Hell yeah they would. Of course they would have to take all the publicity that would come with it, making appearances and such, and maybe doing that is what a closeted athlete is afraid of. So he would have to be an incredibly strong individual. But the money would absolutely be there. Look at all the companies that create those themed ads for pride month. Those are the kinds of companies that would DYING to throw their money at our hypothetical athlete.

CDAN outed a bunch of actors the other day. Leo, Tom, Timothee, Bradley, Taron, Will, Jake, and Zac. We already knew, of course.

But CDAN is blind items, isn't it? The comments are guesses - they may be right, of course but that's not the same as the New York... Post? outing Chace Crawford.

CDAN 'outs' people every day. It means nothing.

r233 do you have a link, please.

Yes, I'd like to see a link

R226 It's not only that. Team sport really make the worst of people come out (and not in a gay way).

There are a lot of people who has no problems with liking an actor or singer who is gay but will have a strong bad reaction if someone of his football, soccer, basketball team comes out.

Generally the enviroment doesn't plays in favour neither.

Individual sports will make easier, the problem is the ones that make money (motor sports, tennis) are pretty conservative (not in the same way, i think in motor sports there's a pretty clear sexist enviroment, on tennis everything is more polite, but most players come from priviledged lives and generally conservative, and of course there are a lot of players from homophobic countries which makes a coming out way more difficult).

So generally the coming outs came from more amateur sports

Anyway the problem won't be sponsors like in the past, in fact i think a gay player will make a lot of money with sponsors (specially if he is handsome and talented) , but you need to sustain that with good results, and keeping the focus when you are the center of attention is not that easy.

That of course, in the sports that don't have homophobic fans (once again team sports), because if you are a soccer player you need to fit with your teammates, your coach, the bosses of the team, and maybe you need to transfer to another team and being openly gay can be a burden

[quote]CDAN outed a bunch of actors the other day. Leo, Tom, Timothee, Bradley, Taron, Will, Jake, and Zac. We already knew, of course.

Where is a link to this? I searched the site and didn’t see anything within the last week about that.

I think for a middle-of-the-pack player in one of the big 4 team sports, coming out could have much the same effect as it did for Kenworthy and Rippon: make them more famous and lucrative than their sporting achievements alone would have. Now whether that would be worth the media circus, intense scrutiny, and perhaps friction with less progressive teammates and management, who can say?

Kenworthy and Ripon were in individual sports. they wouldn't have had to deal with homophobic teammates

I don't know if this is much ado about nothing among his fandom, but it's been claimed that Harry Styles has been nominated in the artist category rather than the ally category for the LGBT awards out of the UK. I also noticed Gillian Anderson's name among some of the gay/bi nominees. She's not out, is she?

R243, I just looked Gillian Anderson up as I always thought she was out as bi but despite saying she has had relationships within women she identifies as heterosexual.

[Quote] she has had relationships within women

I know Chrissy Metz is roomy but...

R243 Is it possible for an award to out someone?

The Harry Styles stans are going crazy over this. Apparently even though there's an Allies part, he can be on the other list just for being an 'openly an advocate' of the LGBT community

Then what's the point of the Allies list?

(246) I got outed because a former student told the world I was gay during an award acceptance speech

I guess Allies do shit for the community? They're just not homophobes?

[Quote] Fleabag actor Andrew Scott, Queer Eye star Tan France, singer Demi Lovato and Sex Education star Gillian Anderson are all in the running for the Celebrity of the Year award.

[Quote] Grammy-award winner Lizzo, non-binary artist Sam Smith and Rockabye singer Anne-Marie will battle it out for the MTV-sponsored Music Artist of the Year gong.

So... Gillian Anderson and Lizzo... along with Harry Styles are the allies in "regular" categories? Brandon Flynn described himself as an ally. They should nominate him for something.

[quote]All the performative wokeness in the replies is bullshit! Who are you to say what Harry’s sexuality is when you don’t know him. Please gatekeeping and policing his sexuality isn’t your place. And other people in that category aren’t out lgbtq either but you don’t gatekeep them.

Well, this will get the bullshit awards the attention they seek..

[quote]Fleabag actor Andrew Scott, Queer Eye star Tan France, singer *Demi Lovato* and Sex Education star Gillian Anderson are all in the running for the Celebrity of the Year award.

I hope to God they don't serve sugar-free frozen yogurt at the ceremony.

Staz Nair

R255 He couldn't even get Melissa Benoist to break up with her husband so he must be gay

Singer Kehlani who has openly women and men in the past (she even had a baby with another musician), says she realizes she's a lesbian.

R257 Neck tattoo is proof that they're not exactly mentally stable

R257 She already came out as a lesbian once, then started screwing men again and had a baby. So, she is lesbian again

I'm doubtful of Angel Olsen being gay. She might have just said that cause she is currently dating a woman

I'm doubtful Angel Olsen is famous. Let's call the whole thing off.

Daria Kasatkina, russian tennis player came out as bisexual.

This is one of those cases when calling her brave is not an exagerattion

R262 Tartakova pushed and goaded until Dasha admitted that she was attracted to women. Her obsession with lesbian sex and relationships is quite puzzling.

R256 Melissa was a little preoccupied with her pregnancy.

How soon before the Russian lesbian "accidentally" falls out of a window?

R263 Who is this Tartakova lady? Is she a closeted lesbian? How do you know what her obsessions are? Are you Russian as well?

R266 She's a sports journalist known for cringey interviews. Dumb unprofessional questions and vulgar vocabulary. She's friends with Rublev, I think.

In the interview with Daria, she kept asking her if she ever hooked up with a female tennis player, if any of them grabbed her boobs, how women pick up other women, etc. Kinda weird how she kept fishing for dirty details. Just inappropriate. Doubt she's lesbian or bi herself (married to a male tennis player), just an attempt to create "scandalous" content.

R267 I doubt she will make that kind of questions to Rublev (even some of his pics with Fernando Vicente look like a couple's pic)

R268 she has already interviewed him. Asked him about being propositioned on instagram among other things.

Arthur Nory

Is he not already out? Doesn't he pose with his bf on IG?

IMO, Arthur probably feels like he expresses himself as much as possible, while still trying to stay safe (ie alive) and have a career in Brazil.

In his IG stories over the years he’s posted lots of photos of him and his bf João, pics with a rainbow flag, pics with the book “This Book is Gay” and loads of other stuff. But he doesn’t post that stuff on his feed for a reason.

Arthur's boyfriend

I don’t think he’ll be coming out soon sadly. Olympics coming up plus I think he wants a media career too (he’s quite good in front of the camera). Joao is lovely.

Yeah he’s definitely not gonna come out while he’s still competing, and I get the feeling he wants some kind of media career afterwards so I don’t think he’ll come out (publicly) for a while. But he’s clearly out in his personal life and only in the glass closet, which is understandable for an athlete in Brazil

It's quite funny the both brazilian gymanst who won medals at Rio are both gay

It's funny that a male gymnast is gay?

R277 No it's funny that in a country lead by a raging homophobe their best gymnasts are gay.

Brazil invest a lot on gymnastics and they are the best southamerican team by far

Colton is so fucking hot, too bad he's friend with the tranny chaser Gus Kenworthy and soon he will post about how the trannies started the pride, etc...

Bill Gates

Lmfao R280. Maybe tho, just maybe.

Paul Butcher? Even though he posts pictures with women he comes across pretty gay and any pics with the opposite sex seem more like BFF pics or just staged

I'm predicting Alicia Keys will take the Jada Pinkett Smith route out. I think that Alicia will says she's had relations with both women and men in the past and she will refuse to label herself.

A couple of democratic congressional candidates will come out early in their campaign.

^ And all the Republicans will remain steadfastly closeted

Travis Fimmel. Though I see him taking the glass closet road rather than some big official statement

Travis Fimmel hasn't been linked to anyone since an All Saint. What makes you think he'll come out?

Milo Mannheim at some point... both his parents are gay and he totally pings... possibly bi

R282 he definitely pings.

Pretty sure there's been speculation about him for a couple years now but honestly doubt he'd come out with how much he's still milking Zoey 101

(R285) I dunno if he will he may be a stay in the closet while he has a career guy. I’m not sure sure he’s gay but I can 💯 see the have had sex with men and woman route. He’s extremely close with Alexander Ludwig too. I have always been curious if there may have been something going on there. He’s popped up in pictures with his family on vacations before.

This is one of those cases i have no idea who are the guys you are talking about

R279 Funny you insult an out olympian medallist and salivate for a fake reality star who harassed his girlfriend (and he was not even into her)

She dropped the "harassment" charges and said she didn't know he was gay when even random dataloungers knew

R292 That doesn't change the fact that all his way to fame is based on lies

Yeah that's why I think it'll be more of a glass closet thing, R287. He doesn't seem like a DiCaprio type who is obsessed with appearing straight to everyone but he also doesn't seem the type to make some grandiose statement on the cover of Out magazine.

I noticed that he's quite close to Alexander Ludwig as well, R290, but last I saw Ludwig was dating his female Vikings co-star (not that this means anything in Hollywood, of course, but I get the vibe that their relationship is legit).

Honestly not sure if Travis is gay or bisexual, but he definitely likes men.

Charlie Gillespie

r295 Got any evidence?

It would be cute if both Charlie and Owen were family.

Charlie Gillepsie seems like Tyler Posey 2.0

Loki. Ben Barnes. Gregg Sulkin (friend of Colton Underwood)

R298 meaning?

(R294) exhibit A

R300 Probably means that like Posey Charlie has probably hooked up with guys

r299 The British are coming... out of the closet

Probably not Ross Butler.

R302 gotcha!

R304 Ross hanging out with Sam Lufti is just so fucking random.

It's Lutfi.

That's an...interesting photo, R301. You might be on to something, but I find it odd that someone as unknown as Ludwig would beard; he cannot honestly believe that he'll have a career after Vikings... If anything, Fimmel is the bigger 'star' of the two and has much more reason to beard up, imo

There are lots of Bobby Both Ways in show biz.

There are lots of Bobby Both Ways in show biz.

(R307) I don’t think Ludwig is gay to be honest. I think think Travis COULD be but I can see the open sexuality play for both.

I talked with a man who spent his life in show business and he told me that gay, bi and straight has little meaning with actors. They will have sex, in its broadest meaning with anyone male or female if they think it will get them a role, a chance at a role, a new connection, a friend and sometimes to just get their rocks off.

It's called Bisexual.

R311, I wish that were true but it's not. And having casting couch sex doesn't change your basic orientation

Someone fucks someone else of the same sex "just to get their rocks off"? The people who suggest that shit must be virgins.

R311 Sorry but i have serious doubts about that.

I think actors generally are way more open minded than the average and i have no doubts that some use sex to get roles, but i doubt there's a majority of them

Antonio Banderas is bisexual

R316 Sorry, but no

Emmylou Harris

(R311) I do think this happens more than we think but saying it’s most of Hollywood is I dunno. I had a friend from college who was a PA on a very popular young adult show and he told us a bunch of wild stuff. Who he has met hung with etc he even knew about Harvey Weinstein and people like him way before that blew up. This was like 2005-2010 I would say we were fresh out of college then. The ONE thing that would always shock him and being in Hollywood that wore off for him eventually was the sex or sexual orientation of certain people. He was straight but he said it would never cease to amaze him to find out someone was gay or bi when literally everything about them presented to the public was that they were straight. He said he was hit on and even to the point people assumed he was down with sane sex play to because it’s so common. He was invited to so many sex parties. The one like he said “is it’s highly possible your “macho “ A list actor action hero or heart throb either likes dick and pussy or has sucked dick or taken it up the ass to get a part, and I’m dead serious”. He never told us names because he respected privacy but this dude never lied about stuff and was from the middle of nowhere in PA. UNFORTUNATELY the Hollywood lifestyle caught up with him and he was tragically killed in a wreck but with that being said what 311 is saying happens way more than we think.

How does a car crash relate to "the Hollywood lifestyle"?

R319, can you repeat all of that but in English this time?

(R320) he was partying with certain unnamed celebs was high on drugs and crashed his car you happy?!

[quote] Do religious people tend to use the term "agape love"? It's not a term with which I'm familiar.

At least in South America that is a very Catholic expression. It's the word priests use during marriage or during marriage preparation courses, whatever that is.

Interesting, r323.

[Quote] he was partying with certain unnamed celebs was high on drugs and crashed his car you happy?!

People who work in shops ya know do drugs and die in car crashes. Hollywood doesn't own any vice.

[quote]How does a car crash relate to "the Hollywood lifestyle"?

Maybe his head ended up on the hood like Jayne Mansfield's?

Richard Armitage is still inching out of the closet. His twitter bio is pretty interesting 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇺💙

That's quite sweet, actually.

What does a white flag stand for (besides surrender)?

R329 It's the trans flag, he's a TRA.

Ah, so he can just be explained away as an ally then...

Joshua Basset 'jokes' about coming out for Harry Styles

*bassett

He did a speed dating Zoom thing with four fans, one of whom was male. It wasn't actually dating related, just fan questions. He had a moment of disbelief when the male fan popped up on screen but he rolled with it good naturedly. I don't think there's any G/B identification there.

I can't tell if this is a serious article or not

It's not. Bassett and his teams are being allies/non-toxically masculine/cynical (delete as appropriate). His new song has Joshua dancing with his male friend for a few frames. Just before the video dropped, he teased a clip of himself trying to kiss the male friend, but in that "I'm gonna get you and plant a big sloppy kiss on you as a jokey punishment" way. The teaser clip is not in the video proper.

He's trying to attract attention to the single.

Yeah, know idea what he was thinking about this R336

I watched one of the HSM cast group interviews - I think it might have been a BUILD one, it certainly seemed like New York - and one of the cast members said that Joshua is super ambitious. It was kind of funny because Joshua instantly tried to soften the implication of that statement. From what I've read, Matt Cornett is the only one who has supported Joshua's music. I don't follow any of them but I've read that the cast DO support Olivia's music with their social media.

Are you even a male celebrity in 2021 if you haven’t gaybaited?

Queer = failed straight actors who wants attention.

The problem with the word queer is that it could literally mean anything

Well, gay has been used in numerous ways, including "anything that is shit." Shall we get rid of "gay" too?

If it was up to gen z we'd get rid of labels all together.

Pride.com is saying that Josh just came out as a Harry Styles stan, nothing more

Let's keep this to coming out and not gay baiting desperate "celebrities"

Well, it's not like there isn't overlap - desperate types such as Colton Underwood, for example.

R343 Sweetie, it's the same GEN Z who creates new "genders" and sexualities everyday.

R345 I agree, the next thread should be only LGB people, and the TQ+ (+baiters) crowd with their own thread.

He's very effeminate, so if he's gaybaiting, he's doing a good jobsauce.

*job lol

R347, conservatives roll their eyes at gays and think we're all just straight but "confused"

Contrary to what you believe, it's not very common for stars to come out as anything other than straight

[Quote] Contrary to what you believe, it's not very common for stars to come out as anything other than straight

Agreed. The T obsessed and those triggered by "queer" are prone to lie about celebrity coming outs. I don't know why.

Twitter hates the guy so much after that shipping war if he was joking he'll have to suck a dick just to avoid a lynch mob.

R350 Straight poeple come out as "queer" too if you dont know (*cough* Jameela* cough* Nico Tortorella *cough*), it's often failed actors.

R350 Like 80% of younger women in entertainment industry are "bi" or "queer" even though they never had anything and never will have anything with the same sex

R353, they're not straight

R354, actually the vast majority of people "in the industry" are not out as anything. Especially not the men

R356 I said WOMEN! Since you didn't specify that you are talking about men only. Every other week some famous or semi famous chick comes out as bi/queer/no labels.

R327 No flags in his bio.....

R355 Sure Jan.

R358 Next steps: pronouns in bio, and post that Marsha J started the pride.

R359, lol, apparently you're a psychic and know for sure what their innermost desires are

R357, that's not true at all. And most of the ones coming out aren't even that famous. If it's so easy to come out....where are all the out A-listers or even B+ listers?

R361 Madonna, Fergie, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu...just from the top of my head

Lucy Liu ain't A list and neither is Fergie. Some of those women acknowledged having same sex flings, but that's not exactly the same thing as saying "I'm bisexual"

Lucy Liu used to be B+ list at best but has since gone down to C list

[Quote] Every other week some famous or semi famous chick comes out as bi/queer/no labels.

That's not true. Female coming do nothing for you so you're apt to complain about them. I get it.

*Female coming outs

Nico Tortorella is not a heterosexual. I guess you're hoping Kyle Krieger leaks some homemade porn of the pair from back in the day?

R367 Nico Tortorella is tiresome, that's his sexual orientation

He doesn't appeal to you. But you both like dick.

R358, it's on his Twitter bio, not his IG. He's verified on both.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bassett follows Tyler Posey's path. Posey "came out." Then he retracted it as a joke. But down the line, it has of course turned out that he is indeed no stranger to the d.

R371 Tyler also said all those things while he was high as a kite, broadcasting to thirsty gays on his OnlyFans. He was pandering for the pink dollar.

Queerty being Queerty, they posted their 'article' on Joshua's 'coming out'

Dez Duron just came back on social media after a cleansing hiatus or something. Hopefully he’s ready to come out.

his IG story is singing about my husband....

I mentioned toxic masculinity as a spin upthread and here we are...

[Quote] Tyler also said all those things while he was high as a kite, broadcasting to thirsty gays on his OnlyFans. He was pandering for the pink dollar.

Tyler can be high as a kite, into dick, and exploiting gay fans.

Has the actor who plays Gary on the CW Legends of Tomorrow come out?

I thought this thread was about famous people. Not any random person with a social media account.

R376 We are one step from the don't push you sexuality in the poor guy

What does this even mean? Lol

R381 He basically came out as straight.

R381 it means he doesn’t like capital letters.

r381 It means he is too poor to hire a publicist who can write such letters.

Someone updated Joshua's wikipedia page about coming out as part of the LGBTQ+ community and it hasn't been removed.

That statement is PRed to the extreme. It's the perfect kind of "Oh, you thought I meant X when I wrote that? No, no I meant Y."

R385 Which is kind of funny, because nothing he said is properly a coming out (but you can write on wikipedia that Miles Heizer is part of the community even if he has a boyfriend)

[quote] actually the vast majority of people "in the industry" are not out as anything. Especially not the men

Not true, stop your assumptions from whatever Bumfuck town you're typing from. It's exhausting. Once and for all from someone who's been in this business behind the scenes for over 16 years: most artists in this business aren't straight and unless they're paranoid, they're not trying to hide it either. Some hide, some don't care and others are self conscious and are the ones the other actors mock behind their backs.

Everything else is just wish fulfillment.

Once and for all, the fags from drama club went to Hollywood. So did the hoes and the damaged goods from your local theater. I don't understand why can't you accept something as logical and obvious as this.

/end of rant

I presume the poster at whom you're ranting meant out professionally/to the public.

R388, that's bullshit. Not very many male actors are out. Maybe they're out to people in the business but they hide it from the public

You can put however many rainbow hearts as you like on it, but to me all that message says is that it’s 2021 and people are STILL ashamed or unwilling to publicly say “I’m gay”.

Fuck that.

Maybe you need to read the comment again and if you still can't interpret something as straightforward as that, too bad for you. R390

R392, maybe you need to drop the 'tude

R388 But they are not out, not at all. There are way more closeted actors than openly gay ones, by far

R391 It's not a question of being ashamed, it's a question of not wanting their careers to be on hold, or being too ambitious, or being prevented by their agents or a lot of things.

Some people really don't like being closeted, others are more than happy to fake relationship. Not every case it's the same

Bassett and Sabrina Carpenter were recorded kissing in an underground parking spot by their publicist, I mean, by a fan. No way is he deviating from such desperate manouvers at age 20. I don't really blame him. Get that fangirl coin while you can, but don't stay in the closet after 30, it starts to get sad.

R280 the male love of Bill’s life is long-dead. I don’t think he’ll love a man again.

I guess the Wikipedia edit is legit, since he did technically say "coming out" in the video, and appeared to be mostly genuine about it. So he's officially come out...as something.

When trying to gay bait goes farther than you wanted and you're scared people will think you're not hetero

Actually, I think his non-statement shows that we've come quite far - no far enough, of course - in that it doesn't reassure people that he's straight. It's vague so you can read into it what you like.

He will show up with some skank/"girlfriend" by nex week..

He was already teasing a collab with Sabrina Carpenter but it appears to have fallen by the wayside.

Possibly R399. It is indeed possible that he WAS joking during the video and this is all some elaborate plan to save his image. Big yikes.

The host of the segment made a point of saying that Josh was joking but Bassett has been liking posts that claim no reps of his confirmed or disconfirmed.

What a clusterfuck. Now he'll need to come out just to save face.

How is this press he's getting affecting his streaming numbers?

Pro-wrestling team Fandango & Tyler Breeze.

The rather fey Breeze (real name Matthias Clement, from Canada) quietly and quickly divorced his pro-wrestler wife a year or two ago, after they’d only been married for three years. This separation coincided almost exactly with the recovery (from injury) and subsequent return of his tag partner Fandango (real name Curtis Hussey, from Maine). So, there’s that.

I'm not quite sure how you're linking the spouse separation to someone's injury recovery.

Anything is possible when you believe.

R372 Tyler was doing that shit before he got an OF.

I blacklist every actor who call themselves a slur who was used (and still is) to oppress actual gay people.... privileged cunts.

Most actors are sluts, though.

Rahul Kohli came out as having both he/him and they/them pronouns but apparently isn't trans or nonbinary so I guess he just came out as an attention whore. Again.

R413

[quote]In this case, they prefer the pronouns he/him but do not hate the pronouns they/them.

on IG, when someone lists their preferred pronouns is that a sign they are gay/bi?

R415 I've seen straight guys do it

[quote]on IG, when someone lists their preferred pronouns is that a sign they are gay/bi?

It's a sign that their English grammar skills are very poor.

the one I really hate is when that person wants to be referred to as "they" when that means more than one person

It bugs me that T obsessives bring it into every fucking thread on DL. This is a thread about coming out. I don't care how you feel about personal pronouns.

[quote]In this case, they prefer the pronouns he/him but do not hate the pronouns they/them.

In this case, Rahul posted a DM where he calls himself a "CIS gender male" in the present tense so he is explicitly not identifying as anything other than a straight guy which he always has.

I don't know a Rahul. But cis gender males can be gay.

Itzan Escamilla (Samu from “Elite.”)

He’s not exactly hiding it. Earlier today, he posted a naked photo of Robert De Niro on his IG story.

R304 I called Ronen Rubinstein months ago even if he did have a GF, and Ross Butler a year ago and I was right about Ronen, so maybe we're right about Ross. He has a lot of straight former castmates as friends who have girlfriends, but he comes off as really asexual because he's never been seen with anyone even though he's always trying to play the single straight guy who hasn't found love in interviews. I feel like any good looking guy who is militant about staying single and being a private person is a dead giveaway. Especially if he's super hot and like over 25. I saw a post about some NFL player on here and I googled him because I don't care for footbal (sp? lol) and he's got to be one of the hottest guys out there, but he's persistent about being private. Gives me Aaron Rodgers Jr story

r423 So Ross is either gay or asexual? But who's the football player?

Asexual = straightwashing in most cases. People would rather desexualize a person that admit they're not straight, it happens a lot. I have no clue if this guy is in the closet and I don't believe in asexuality, which seems to be a modernism out of identity politics bullshit started by that angry bulldyke in the 1990s.

Isn't arguing over whether someone is gay or asexual "identity politics"?

R425 Believe it or not there are people who are not interested in sex at all

My problem isn't with identity politics, as the gay rights movement is just that. My problem is with the revisionism of the 1990s and their bullshit gender claims which brought us to this nonsense we're living now.

I do believe some people aren't interest in sex, this isn't a sexuality or a gender though. This role playing game Judith Butler invented is academic fraud and damaging. Hopefully people are waking up to this bs.

*interested

I'm not asexual but I can understand how it's a sexual orientation. The definition of homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual all preclude a type of sexual attraction to SOMEONE and if you have a sexual interest in NO ONE then those labels don't apply. It's probably not all that uncommon.

But either way, Ross Butler is probably gay.

[Quote] It's probably not all that uncommon.

You're basing this on?

This is a coming out prediction post for the next 7 months. Focus, people.

Leonardo DiCaprio?

R431 On the fact that there are a lot of asexual people

There are studies showing about .7% percent of people identify as asexual. Not a large group but not non-existent either

How stable is that identification?

John Mulaney just effectively came out as gay by letting it be known that he's dating full-time Hollywood beard Olivia Munn.

R433. Leo will come out...on his deathbed.

More like Lukas Haas will out him by wailing and throwing himself on top of the casket like an Italian widow.

not me

I am surprised Joshua Basset didn't retract and said it was a joke (i suppose he was too scared of twitter reaction) but frankly the he is figuring his sexuality is such bullshit.

He will have a girlfriend (real or fake) in a couple of months (once he figured out he is straight) and with a little luck he will think twice before coming out again

r441 Probably didn't want a Shawn Mendes style freak out

Why is it so hard for certain old queens here to understand spectrums of sexuality? You sound so foolish and old.

R442 Different situation.

Joshua was the one who put himself in the situation of being questioned. Shawn is simply too stupid and he doesn't known when he has to shut up

R443 Eveybody knows about spectrums, you are gay, straight or bi, and if you are bi you can be more atracted to one sex or the other, or both equally.

The problem is when you use the i don't use labels or my sexuality is on a spectrum as a way to look edgy, or simply to lie, or the fact that all your past fake relationships doesn't look what they were, fake.

If you do a come out video people expect you to come out or they think you are mocking their sexual orientation, and they don't react well to that.

And people should stop to act like if saying your sexual orientation says something more than the people you are atracted too

My suspicion is that the question about Harry Styles was deliberately placed by his publicist. Thus was a total stunt move to get publicity. They know a huge portion of Joshua’s fan base will be gay boys.

But it seems an obvious bad move. One thing is being gay friendly or even gay baiting and other very different being fully gay, specially with the kind of roles he is playing.

And going back to Shawn Mendes, the Rolling Stone interview was designed by a publicist too, it was about denying gay rumours while being sympathetic (because he suffers a lot) and being edgy (all the drug use) but he came accross as homophobic, insecure, only interested in fame and superficial, a total faliure (probably if the journalist were on board the result could be different, but he hated Shawn guts and only needed him to talk and hang himself)

Looks like Jon Kortajarena is inching his way out.

R422 That's great news. He's very cute. Had a crush on him ever since I saw Elite for the first time. What about the rest of the cast? The guy who plays Polo is my favorite. Is he gay? I know Omar is more or less out. What about the guy playing Ander? I heard he was bi, is that true?

Omar is totally out, and he is totally out from the very beginning of the show.

And Jon Kortajarena was several times in El Mundo list of most influencial gays (and you only get into that list if you give your permission).

Jon could’ve just taken a photo with Luke’s ropes of semen on his lovey face.

R447 Jon's already out

[Quote] Matt was doing push ups before we said "Action!" and I couldn't focus on the scene (Laughs)

8:17

[Quote] My suspicion is that the question about Harry Styles was deliberately placed by his publicist. Thus was a total stunt move to get publicity.

I doubt the question was placed by his publicist. Bassett namechecks Harry Styles often. I agree that it was a stunt move to maximise publicity.

Sky Sports Football (soccer) pundits Jamie Carragher & Gary Neville. Hiding in plain sight, like Ant & Dec do.

Would love to go back in Time to inform fans from ‘97/‘06/‘12 of this disturbance in the Force. They’d lose their heads completely. Mancs & Scousers are not supposed to have it off in private, much less brazenly and shamelessly fall in love on a public stage. And especially not the most Manc Manc and the most Scouse Scouser. These last several years have been the strangest of times.

It’s just such a pity that the world of pro football is still so homophobic—now worse than ever, because it’s paid for by Saud!/Ch!nese backers and managed by fearful Catholic Europeans)—otherwise we could have a lovely finale and epilogue to this unlikely romance. As it is, we have to put up with ‘bromance’ joke and bants from now until they both die a la Saint & Greavsie. They give themselves away, though, anyway...

You might also want to blame their wives for keeping them apart, R454.

Joshua Bassett is, based on personal experience, not going to be straight. When you are the only boy in a family of girls, with a focus on performing and musical theatre, it’s definitely going to have an effect on your masculinity, how you see you yourself contrasting with other male peers, the exotic becomes erotic.

I know guys who were the only boy in a family of girls and all but one are straight (he may very well be gay, but it's pretty silly to say that someone's family structure will make them gay, it's like something from a 1950s sex handbook)

r456 Hey Daryl Bem - the 90s called and wanted its crank homo theory back. BTW, do you actually believe in ESP or was that just more trolling? Still married to that lesbian? Did you succeed in making your own kids gay?

Another tiny step from Arthur Nory: sharing a post about International Day Against Homophobia on his story and commenting with a ❤️

Thoughts on Alec Benjamin?

Currently asking people to thirst over his ass so maybe we're getting somewhere

R455 that is very sweet. Of course, to have a wife and children is good. De noite todos os gatos são pardos.

He wrote a coming out song

I agree with what someone said earlier isn’t this thread supposed to be about ACTUAL famous people. It seems we have gravitated towards social media people most people don’t know,

With that being said I think Ross butler will

R463 right? I’ve only replied about five times to the whole thread, and each time I got screamed down for mentioning known personalities. I haven’t got a clue who the main posters of this thread have been babbling about for over a hundred replies—some Instawhore nobodies I’m guessing. As someone who barely uses social media—let alone has an addiction to it—it is so inboring having constantly to hear and read about these people. Why not just title the thread more specifically, if that’s what you all want to discuss? Just say ‘Which SOCIAL MEDIA PERSONALITIES will come out in 2021?’ and have it, so the rest of us can keep our watchlists clear and go on with our day.

What about that NFL player that was semi-outed on a broadcast/podcast?

^^^ who was that?

Yeah, who's the NFL player?

So did Joshua Bassett actually come out? There seem to be differing opinions. Judging from the post at R462 with its rainbow hearts, he came out as something, but didn't say exactly what. As a member of the LGBTQ community?

Are you referring to the NBA player who Teanna Trump talked about?

I think this is the second video of her talking about it.

Or is the NFL player a whole other story you're referring to?

R464 what makes you think Ross Butler will come out?

So who's the gay MBA player?

This isn't paywalled anymore? That's weird.

R472 They said NFL player

R474 I think R472 is referring to the person referenced at R470

The NBA player Teanna Trump is talking about is allegedly Blake Griffin. He's dated Kendall Jenner and people think she's gay too.

If Blake is gay that’s a win he’s sexy as hell

The actors who play the gay characters on High School Musical:The Musical are dating.

The ginger couple ping like crazy as well.

I guess not KJ Apa

He's so mincing that it's pretty clear he's gay despite the jack off vid.

Justin Min from Umbrella Academy has been leaning hard into “person” pronouns on his stories, when describing his flirting experiences in Toronto, where they’re shooting. Although his religious family might be a barrier to him actually coming out.

In my dreams, he’s secretly dating David Castañeda.

r482, he's a cutie

[quote] it’s definitely going to have an effect on your masculinity

Level of masculinity and sexual orientation are not the same thing, R456.

I think 466 is talking about Aaron Rodgers when Olivia Munn hinted that she dated a DL football player.

Shawn Mendes is inching out

Doubtful.

R486 By taking a photo standing next to two people?

Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers will come out on the 12th of never

Pedro Pascal

Jon Kortajarena

Edgar Ramirez

Miles Heizer

Richard Armitage

Manu Rios

I thought Kortajarena was already out?

[quote] Miles Heizer...

is already out. A special statement isn't necessary.

R493 He is

Ellen as a trans

[quote] In my dreams, he’s secretly dating David Castañeda.

I'd high-five him with one hand and push him in front of a bus with the other to clear the path to Castañeda.

I think it’s a real possibility with Edgar Ramirez and Pedro

Lary Saperstein who plays Big Red on High School Musical the series came out as bi on TikTok

Ok so it’s prod month things should be heating up!

*pride .. smh

Edgar Ramirez most recent post…

Also note Edgar’s response to Pedro Pascals post yesterday.

Our longtime friend Arthur Nory is now using “Pride” hashtag in his latest IG post. And unsurprisingly has a few photos with rainbow flags in his IG stories. Happy for him making these moves 😊

Is his name for real? Must have a goyem agent if he let him keep that name...

I think Cuba Gooding Jr's son is. Mason Gooding. He gives off strong vibes so it might not be long.

Joshua is milking it like a slutty cow.

David Archuleta came out

How nice and satisfying. I love this thread series.

It’s possible that Sebastian Croft is dating his Heartstopper co-star Joe Locke, who appears to be openly gay (based on following BoG). He has an earlier set of photos in his feed where the two seemed boo’d up, but I thought it was publicity for the show. But now Joe has appeared again in Sebastian’s stories on what appears to be a charming date in London.

R510 It's very possible. But they're also going to be in an upcoming gay series called Heartstopper for Netflix. Although I don't think they play love interests.

US Figure Skater Jason Brown came out as gay

r508 that was more of an advert for mormon repression than any actual pride in what he still considers "sin" Kinda depressing actually...

NFL Player Carl Nassib

Now some other athletes need to come out. Hint, hint Aaron....

I’m more confident that Sebastian Croft and Joe Locke are dating.

We saw them out together before. Thought it was publicity, but they were cuddling.

Conner Jessup specifically mentioned in his stories that his big gay birthday cake is from the both of them.

And now they’re at a show together.

Casey Frey is Bi… this is not shocking though to me at least he always pinged.

Who is Casey Frey?

Had to look him up too R518. Looks like he's a dancer and comedian who was big on Vine back in the day. He does have over 2 million Instagram followers though.

4 more months who will make the cut.

Luke Prokop

Travolta. (What does he have to lose?)

I think Travolta will be closeted until he dies

British cyclist Clay Davies

Christian Le Blanc!
