The Thread for Discussion about Models & Celebrities Sexuality

[deleted18576551]

Back to the topic of handsome Kit Connor. My gaydar may not be perfect, but I just don't see him as gay or even bisexual, mostly a straight guy who's comfortable as an actor. I feel he just said he was bi because that's an easy way out and because he would chastised for playing the role of a gay guy.

John Locke and Croft look totally gay to me.

How do you see someone as bisexual or not? Being bisexual doesn't have a ping for some ridiculous "gaydar". Speaking as a bisexual myself who's know plenty of closeted bisexuals. They are usually not very queer presenting.

I don't appreciate the implication that Kit just lied just to "get some heat off him". Gross.

I would even argue that majority of bi guys are more masculine than str8 men.

This is an extremely uncool take.

What would have happened if he had said he was just a straight ally? The backlash and harrasment would have continued. But by saying he's bisexual, then suddenly it stopped. This was the only way out.

People don't have to be gay to play gays, but somehow the fandom feels they have to be gay.

He said he's Bi, that's the end of it. To claim he said he lied for clout/protection is Bi-erasure and wrong.

This is the thread for discussion about models and celebrities sexuality. I am just doing that.

You beating a dead horse is not a "discussion".

He's declared his sexuality, so your attempt at "discussion" is unnecessary.

I'd like to add there was no discussion like this in the last Kit Connor thread.

Pathetic.

Just say "it's hotter for me to jerk off thinking of him as a withholding straight guy who would never touch us" and leave.

My gaydar may not be perfect,

You could've ended it here lol

Thank you for this thread.

I personally don’t get why some people get so upset when someone says “X celebrity is/must be gay”. It’s a non issue. It’s known celebrities hide their sexuality since ancient times and it’s perfectly normal to discuss it.

I think the biggest known contributor to this "backlash" from Lpsg is the Kit Connor situation. Prior to that. The usual (and imho annoying) discussions and gossip was a bit more tolerated.

But you can see why because of stuff like that, the mods rather be safe than sorry I guess.

As someone who has worked with the age demographic that Kit is in, I get it. "The youth" now don't label stuff nearly as much. They identify as gay, straight, bi, or whatever but it's really just vibes. I have straight friends who will hook up with dudes if the vibe is right. I think with Kit, it comes from the stigma we still see in the entertainment industry.

Like, sure, we have our gay icons on TV and in movies but nobody as young as Kit and Joe Locke. For the "world" to delve deep into their lives like that, it feels violating.

Speaking of celebs' sexuality: Dare we ask what was inappropriate and warranted removing the pix all over social media of Froy Gutierrez coming out publicly and kissing the guy who's apparently his boyfriend?

 

[deleted15688171]

Froy is hot

Apparently, Wayne Brady came out as pansexual this week. He said that he felt bisexual did not adequately cover his sexuality. Since he's officially out, now I can publicly proclaim that I would hit that.
