MESSAGE: One half of a popular onscreen queer couple from that colorful streaming film has refused to do most press. It was tense but spilled over into pure hate when this person refused to show up at an important upcoming event. The better half is livid and has stopped speaking to the disappearing partner once and for all. Don't expect to ever see them work together again.
He is not special enough to be a straight actor. He is not a Star. He does not have the talent or charisma to make this worthwhile. He shows up to the Met Gala wearing a black tux. He is self serious and interviews poorly. His body veers toward doughiess, his features are pronouncedly feminine.
Jonathan Bailey is going up and up and up. Not because he is a gay actor. But because he is a Star. Andrew Scott is going up because he is exceptionally talented. Nicholas Galitzine is neither of those. He started rising at a very curious time in Hollywood in which the burden on gay actors of gay actordom is beginning to go away, but at the same time actors are expected to be gay if they take a lot of gay roles. It would have behooved him to cling to this like driftwood, because now, when it comes down to it, if I am in casting and I have to choose between him and a straight actor for a straight role, I am going to choose the one that does not pout his lips like Queen Nefertiti.
I know everyone here loves to rip on the casual dining chains because we're all oh-so cultured and most of the people here are from NYC, but having grown up in the midwest, the death of the casual dining chain seems kinda sad to me.
Red Lobster was once the only place many people in middle American could even GET seafood (that was halfway decent), and now it's gone. Bennigan's died out decades ago. TGI Friday's is going down the drain as we speak... all restaurants anywhere near me have already closed, and they announced this week a huge slew of additional closures around the country.
The few that remain have gone so downhill that I imagine they'll be closing up shop too in the next few years... Chili's and Applebee's. It's weird to me that the ones I considered the worst of the class are the ones that lasted the longest.
The Ipsos survey polled adults in 26 countries on a variety of metrics measuring support for the queer community. Canada, it found, was among the few countries where support for rights and visibility appeared to register "precipitous drops," Ipsos vice-president of public affairs Sanyam Sethi said.
Similarly, the poll found support for LGBTQ2 people showing affection in public (kissing or holding hands) at 40 per cent, down eight points from 2021. Just one-third of respondents supported more LGBTQ2 characters on screen, down 10 per cent from 2021.
They were not at Stonewall when it started. Marsha showed up later on. Sylvia was on heroin in Bryant Park, and later begged historians to claim that she and Marsha threw the first bricks, or first cocktail glass.
Marsha and Sylvia were not Trans. They did not identify as Trans. There are videos were they talk about being boys in dresses. Towards the end of Sylvia's life, her activism began to embrace Transgenders more than others, and she herself identified that way, but this began in the 1990s.
In 1969, these two activists were drag queens, transvestites, street sex workers with wigs, 'boys in a dress' by their own definition, and created the STAR activist group "Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries", which advocated for greater visibility, housing and healthcare for other transvestites, gay, lesbian and also transsexuals (whom later were known as Transgender).
Transgender people are a very specific subset of our community and deserve to have the incredible story they do have. They do not, however, deserve to be known as the folks who 'started it all'. Stonewall, the first Pride, Gay Liberation Front, Mattachine Society - this was a group effort, led almost entirely by gay men, some with wigs, and the movement later ballooned into a larger community of activism including the full Queer spectrum.
I know they're timid and no harm to humans, but I find them creepy. I don't know what it is about them, but they give me the shivers. I think they're beautiful animals, but I live in an area that has a lot of foxes at night and seeing them roam around on my CCTV cameras makes me shudder.
Perched on a hill with a view of the Atlantic Ocean, the condo in Virginia Beach was just what Dr. Raven Baxter wanted. It had a marble fireplace, a private foyer and details like crown molding and wainscoting in its three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
At $749,000, it was within her budget, too. She offered the asking price, which was accepted, and sent over a down payment. And then when she was in escrow this month, her broker called her late at night on May 17, a Friday, with some bad news.
The situation spilled out into the open a few hours later, when Baxter, 30, a molecular biologist and science communicator who runs the website Dr. Raven the Science Maven, shared what happened in a post on the social platform X. Her public airing to 163,000 followers and others has drawn attention to bias that continues to plague the housing industry, and the laws that are supposed to prohibit discrimination, even as Baxter took steps to continue to ultimately buy the condo.
Following the recommendation of commenters on her social media post, Baxter filed a claim of discrimination with the Virginia Fair Housing Office and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She also reached out to a civil rights attorney.
Unfortunately, his father seems to be a Deplorable who does not appreciate sustainability and re-usable bags (which is strange for a man who lives on the ocean), but at least the kid seems to know better.
He warned celebrity Alan Thicke of heart and blood pressure problems in 2016, just a few months before Thicke died of aortic dissection at the age of 69 (Thicke never went to the doctor after Henry's warning). Anyone know anything more about him or had a reading with him ? Is he a fraud ?
The Clooney Foundation, which the actor founded with his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, has drawn heat from Russian officials who say the foundation is on a crusade to arrest Russian journalists.
Wil there be a move to dump him and get a new nominee? Will Ron De Santis, Ted Cruz, etc. attempt to oust him? What about Nikki Haley? Will there be a successful attempt to get Trump off the ticket? And who'd be dumb enough to be his VP nominee after this? What are your thoughts and predictions?
A thousand Spartan soldiers, trained for combat from the age of 7, were returning from an expedition when they stumbled on a much smaller force from the rival city of Thebes. Rather than retreat, the Theban infantry charged, pulling into a close formation and piercing the Spartan lines like a spear. The Spartans turned and, for the first time ever in pitched battle, fled.
This is my second colonoscopy. I did the first one without sedation and I want to do this one without sedation. Every time I explain that to someone, even the nurse setting up the procedure, she had this look on her face like I was insane. It really is not bad and you get to see your insides and ask your doctor questions.
This sitcom about a gay man and a straight woman who are best friends has been widely praised for its wit and daring, but turns out to be absolutely ordinary. Grace (Debra Messing) is an emotionally flustered interior designer; Will (Eric McCormack) is a level-headed lawyer. These actors are enormously congenial, but are stranded by scripts that assume it's clever to have Will and Grace play 'The $25,000 Pyramid' really well together. And they are surrounded by annoying sidekicks, including Will's gay friend Jack (Sean Hayes), a prancing fool who sings show tunes while playing poker. Jack displays every stereotypical mannerism possible so that Will can avoid them altogether; how daring is that?
The family of Noah Presgrove, who was found dead along an Oklahoma highway, revealed that the teen had a caved-in skull, road rash on his hip, a gravel rash on his shoulder and multiple bruises. According to a friend's father who visited the scene, some of Noah's teeth were found scattered on the ground, with a pair of white shorts a few feet away.
I guess all comedians have a lane and mostly stay in it. But my husband is a big fan of Nikki Glaser, so we watch a lot. And her humor tends to range from her pussy to the men in her pussy. But there doesn't seem to be much else. She's funny the first time. But after that, dullsville.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt -- who just turned 18 a few days ago on May 27 -- filed paperwork requesting a legal name change ... specifically, dropping the "Pitt" from her last name and making her new name simply "Shiloh Jolie."
Their other daughter -- 15-year-old Vivienne -- reportedly has also been avoiding using "Pitt" in naming herself ... she was only listed as Vivienne Jolie on a playbill for an Angelina-produced Broadway musical she was recently working on as PA.
When it comes to Maddox -- who's 22, and the oldest of the bunch -- he reportedly also doesn't use "Pitt" in his surname anymore ... but it appears as if Shiloh is the only one of the kids who's filed to make it count in court.
This new HBO drama with Jessica Lange presents the crypto-Marian Seldes as an actress who lost her shit in the last part of her career. For Seldes, that would have been DEUCE. I can believe that she had dementia at the end of her life, but she got great reviews for DEUCE. Anybody know whether she was losing it in her late career?
