Nathan Lane Says His “Birdcage” Co-Star Robin Williams “Protected” Him From Coming Out On “Oprah” In 1996
Nathan Lane is back on Broadway in the play Pictures from Home, so he went on Sunday Today to promote that shit and discuss his career. Variety reports that 67-year-old Nathan got to talkin’ about starring in the 1996 classic, The Birdcage, with the late great Robin Williams. At the time, Nathan was mostly known for his stage roles and voicing Timon in The Lion King (1994). The Birdcage was his first big live-action role. And even though he’d come out as gay at age 21, he didn’t feel ready to share that fact with the world. Luckily, Nathan was protected by Robin, who he calls “a saint.” Nathan says that when the pair went on Oprah together, Robin did everything in his power to distract Oprah from pulling his co-star out of the closet on TV. Hey, if anybody’s great at distracting people with bonkers non sequiturs, it’s Robin Williams. Continue reading
“Heartstopper” Star Kit Connor Comes Out As Bi And Blames Trolls For Forcing Him To Do So
My favorite genre of TV is “secretly queer teens are secretly queer.” See: Love Victor, the gayest eps of Degrassi, and Netflix’s recent hit, Heartstopper. Heartstopper stars Joe Locke and Kit Connor as Charlie and Nick, two cute lil’ British high schoolers who fall in love. Now, in real life, Joe Locke is openly gay. But 18-year-old Kit’s sexuality has been a mystery, and fans of the show were obsessed with figuring it out. Last month, shit hit the fan when photos emerged of Kit holding hands with Maia Reficco, his female co-star in an upcoming movie. Heartstopper fans saw this as a great betrayal and accused Kit of “queerbaiting” by playing a queer character. In response, Kit quit Twitter. Yesterday, he returned, and tweeted that, actually, he was bi, and sarcastically congratulated his critics for “forcing an 18 year old to out himself.”
Open Post: Hosted By Elvira Revealing That Madonna Hit On Her Girlfriend Back In The Day
In case anyone mistakenly thought that Madonna kissing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera back at the 2003 VMA’s and her recent Instagram posts full of tonguing women and pantomiming cunnilingus was just an attention grab and that she doesn’t actually wade in the lady-pond, she might have come out as gay in her panty-tossing TikTok the other day. But if there was still any doubt, “Mistress of the Dark,” Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson confirmed that Madonna’s been into women for a long time, sharing that years ago, Madonna hit on her current girlfriend.
Open Post: Hosted By The Man Who Posted A Craigslist Ad Looking For A Gay Man To Party With His Wife On The Weekends
A New York man found himself unable to keep up with his 30-year-old wife and her hard-partying ways. So he posted an ad to Craiglist looking for a “gay man to take wife out to party.” The husband says he’s looking for a homosexual who’s into electronic music, likes to party, and is in his twenties or thirties. If you fit this description and want to take this guy’s wife out on the town, you could make $30 an hour plus any cover/price of admission! But what about drinks? I feel like drinks should also be covered. And who, pray tell, will be paying for all the cocaine?
Noah Schnapp Says Doja Cat Has Accepted His Apology And Confirms That Will On “Stranger Things” Is Gay
And just like that… the Noah Schnapp and Doja Cat feud is officially over. Great! Now all those “Team Doja/Team Noah 2022″ T-shirts I ordered are completely fucking useless. In case you’ve just awoken from a week-long coma, here’s the gist: 26-year-old Doja DMed 17-year-old Noah to hook her up with his Stranger Things co-star, 29-year-old Joseph Quinn. Noah posted the DMs on TikTok, and Doja got pissed, calling him “socially unaware” and “a whole snake.” A lot of people were Team Noah (and my T-shirt order reflects that); he gained millions of social media followers, and Doja lost 200,000. Yesterday Noah posted a TikTok doing math problems to Doja’s song, “Kiss Me More” (it… makes sense if you’re on TikTok), and in the comments he claimed he apologized to Doja and there are “no hard feelings.” But what does Doja think? In a new interview with Variety, Noah claims Doja officially accepted his apology and apologized right back for how she reacted. Now, this is all fine and good, but who’s gonna pay for the 2,000 T-shirts gathering dust in my garage??
Eric Dane Hopes His “Euphoria” Role Helps to Lend A Voice To The LGBTQ+ Community
Most Euphoria viewers probably stress-watch the show (except Brit Brit who finds it as soothing as a warm, evening cuppa) as the mostly teen characters all played by grown-ass adults grapple with heavy topics like sex, drugs, and identity. Even behind the scenes, the HBO show was rumored to have lots of drama revolving around the nudity required of some of the actors and just a generally hectic work environment. Eric Dane (formerly McSteamy, of Grey’s Anatomy fame), who plays the embattled father of one of the teens on the show, said in an interview that he hopes his portrayal of the abusive and closeted Cal Jacobs can have a positive effect on members of the LGBTQ+ community.
