TV Star Matt Dallas Told To Stay In Closet; Male Model's Alleged Affair with NFL Player; Trans Woman Sues NJ Restaurant; Kendle's Fire by Ryan Field
TV Star Matt Dallas Told To Stay In Closet
This is why I could never fault any gay man for not coming out of the closet. It's especially true for gay male actors, but it could be any gay man in any profession.
In 2006, Matt Dallas, who was starring in the ABC Family series, Kyle XY, was told he had to stay in the closet. I remember that TV show vividly, and I remember loving it. It was actually one of the best TV shows out at the time, and that's mostly because of Matt Dallas.

Gus Kenworthy on Playing Straight
Whenever the argument comes up about straight actors playing gay roles it never fails that someone will comment about gay actors playing straight roles.
So when I saw openly gay Gus Kenworthy Tweet this I thought it was perfect. Kenworthy will be playing a straight role in an upcoming AHSFX, and apparently this question came up.
Interviewer: So how did you prepare for this role? Me: I actually played "straight" for the first 23 years of my life...

We've Always Been Offended, You Just Didn't Know; Mumbai's Historic Pride Event; Gay Polish Politician and New Progressive Party
We've Always Been Offended, You Just Didn't Know
I see people complaining about how other people get too offended lately, and it never ceases to amaze me how lightly they take it. But I also understand it. How could they know? If you're coming from a place of privilege you can't know how it feels to be the punch line of a bad, offensive joke.
I'm not going to make this long, because it's really not that difficult. We've always been offended. This isn't new. The truth is that many of us grew so...

What Is 'Privilege?'; Straight Rami Malek On Brian Singer Allegations, Again; Tweets About Growing Up Gay; More About the Jussie Smollett Attack
What Is Privilege?
When I was in high school, I took a cheerleader, Sue Russell, to the prom. I didn't have a bad time, and I enjoyed being part of that heteronormative experience in a general sense, but I would much rather have gone to the prom with one of the football players, Mark or Mike. I knew I was gay long before I was in high school, but going to the prom with a boy wasn't an option. It's still not an option for many gay kids. And I remember listening to straight people rave about pro...

Palm Springs Hot Young Trainer: David Perez; Women Harassing Trans Woman; Sex Education For Gay Teens
Palm Springs Hot Young Trainer: David Perez
Here's an interview with a trainer in Palm Springs. They claim they're doing these interviews to inspire people to stay in shape. Which I totally agree with. I run or hike every morning, in all kinds of weather, and I work out with weights at night.
Favorite athletic outfit: The best outfit to wear when working out is clothes that makes you feel you look good in. So if you look in the mirror, you’re motivated to finish your workout.

"Full Frontal" Male Nudity: Nyle DiMarco; The First Male Cheerleaders At This Year's Super Bowl; Netflix's 'Sex Education' Gets Second Season
"Full Frontal" Male Nudity: Nyle DiMarco
There's a reason why there are quotes around "Full Frontal." I know this headline sounds as if it's just about nudity, but there's a lot more to it than that. And Nyle DiMarco sounds as if he's a very bright, talented man who is trying to get an important message out there.
DiMarco is trying to make a point, about how people with disabilities are often treated by the police, and I think that's something many people with disabilities deal with. There was...

Jussie Smollett's Family's Statement

People Thirsting Over Ted Bundy And Netflix
I saw the Ted Bundy docu-series featured on Netflix last week, and I passed on it. It's just not something I want to watch now or in the future.
There's also a new biopic about Bundy starring, Zac Efron, that I haven't seen either. However, after they dropped the trailer, so many people started posting about how hot Efron looked playing Bundy Netflix put out a statement urging people to refrain from getting too excited over a serial killer. ...
