The Thread for Discussion about Models & Celebrities Sexuality

[Walking_Zombie]

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.

Except that a lot of people on this site think that every celebrity they're attracted to is gay. It's usually not based on anything other than wishful thinking.

My stance is this it should not really matter re commenting on a individual sexuality of not, as long as it respectful and not malicious of vindictive. This is called discussion. Having this speculation curtail is uncomfortable for me to be honest. To many actors /media individuals over the years and more so recently will not admit to being gay as it is seen as being a negative, so they will stay in the closet of state that they are Bisexual instead, as identifying as being gay men and women in this increasingly hostile conservative era, is considered /seen as a negative.

I must say that it very sad and to be frank disappointing for me an older gay man to see, what I call 'policing' of open transparent discussion. Just my opinion and lots will disagree I am sure.

It doesn't matter if a celebrity discloses their sexuality or not. You're not entitled to know anyone's sexuality or anything about their personal business. The speculation on this site is usually not based on anything other than wishful thinking because y'all think they're hot. Y'all really need to stop with these obsessive parasocial relationships with celebrities because at the end of the day, you don't know these people. You will most likely never meet them, let alone date or have sex with them, so their sexuality is none of your business. Just admire their talent and looks, and move on with your day.

And? Let’s not get triggered over other people’s “wishful thinking”. Why is it even a problem to you? Don’t tell me you get offended everytime someone says Shawn Mendes is gay. Is he your friend? your cousin? Pick a struggle.

Sorry but talking about someone's sexuality without their consent or assume someone's gay without their self-confession is disrespectful and malicious. There's no way around that. And you cannot make excuse and call it an open discussion especially if someone's reputation or privacy is at stake. There's no question to that.

Want to respectfully note here that there is no such thing as an "allegation" about sexual orientation. An allegation is an accusation of wrongdoing and there is nothing wrong about being gay or bi, so you can't alledge that someone is gay or bi.

It's also allegation if you're assuming or calling someone is like this or that without them self-admitting something. And don't give me that excuse about nothing wrong being gay, etc. The fact that people don't admit they're gay or come out of the closet means they don't want or need you to be feasting about their private lives in a public forum like this!

That is not what "allegation" means, sorry. The word you are looking for is "claim."

Try using the entire word, not it's root:

Allegation has definitely negative connotations, insinuating that calling them other than straight is a bad thing.

Same thing so stop making excuses! A gay sexual orientation is not something every gay person is comfortable sharing to the world for various reasons: fear, shame, non-acceptance from family, work, public scrutiny, personal privacy, confusion of identity, name it! Just because you're out and proud, everyone's personal circumstances vary so you have NO RIGHT to put anyone in that situation!

Dude,give it a rest already @MisterB himself created this thread so go take your battles with the admins if you think they did something wrong

There is a difference between speculation about someone's sexuality on a niche website like this and doing it publicly like asking in an interview or tagging them on a social media site.

"..tagging them on a social media site."
Yup! That's exactly what people in these threads are doing. It even includes posting rumor stories or photos to convince people this celeb is gay or whatnot. That's not just speculation!

That's not how this works. You can't TAG any celebrity on this website. This is a forum. It's not a social media platform. Everything posted here is quite literally just speculation.

Sorry. You can't argue with facts.

To add to that, any rumor/speculation that is defamatory gets removed by Mods. Speculation on someone's sexuality is not defamatory.

Imagine getting bothered over some random dude on the internet calling Shawn Mendes gay and “posting rumors” about it

How? I have severe doubts that many straight celebrities (or indeed many gay ones, tbh) read this site.

 

[skyehammel]

Does anyone know anything about the cutie Jake Ryan from Asteroid City?

 

[billybones]

How often do you moderators and site-owners encounter a person -or a person’s team perhaps - starting a celebrity thread here for themselves?

Since Tyler Hoechlin came up on front page of this forum, I was wondering what was up with the whole him and Ryan Guzman living together at one point, around the time that Everybody Wants Some film came out.

as much as I'd love him not to, that man is straight as an arrow yawn
