LGBTQ+ in Hollywood

[Deleted]

Awesome! People coming out while still active in their sport amazes and inspires me. How brave.

I have no idea who that guy is, but I too am thrilled that more and more celebrities are coming out. The more that happens, the more commonplace it'll be, and - I hope - the sooner we'll live in a world in which someone says "I'm gay!" and everyone is like "... so?".

I've never seen him in anything, but he's smoking hot:

Wentworth Miller came out; is not heading to Russia for a film premier because their government is homophobic.

Right on, dude.

He was always one of those openly out without saying it guys, but good for him for making it official.

ETA: Oops, everyone is talking about it in his actual friend, LOL. Well, I've recorded it for posterity here in the Homosexuality in Hollywood thread. Carry on.

Strictly speaking they aren't Hollywood, but they were great celebrities of their day...

Literary Trysts: Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman

Something remarkably amazing is going to have to happen in order for that to be topped. That makes me so giddy.

[Carolinian]

I know! Come upstairs and "we could be on ‘thee and thou’ terms." I bet there are romance writers gnashing their teeth, wishing they'd thought of that line.

That's pretty hot. Way hotter than George Sands and Frederic Chopin actually... (Since there'd be no TB involved)

Michelle Rodriguez casually came out as bisexual in an interview recently:

"I don't talk about what I do with my vagina, and they're all intrigued." she says of the media. "I've never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder: What does she go with her vagina? Plus, I play a butchy girl all the time, so they assume I'm a lesbo." When EW points out that that's not a fair assumption, Rodriguez laughs. "Eh, they're not too far off," she says. "I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f---ing curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks." She shrugs.

I thought she was always open about it so I am surprised this story is getting any traction. She has a type of sexual energy that translates to good chemistry with male & female co-stars. People use to attribute that type of energy to Angelina Jolie but post-Pitt that seems to have all but disappeared. Topic: good on Michelle for living her life on her terms and not giving a flying fuck what people think (except of course where it concerns her drunk driving. That shit need never occur again!).

Well, Angelina Jolie does identify as bisexual. Rodriguez has denied that she was bi or dates women in the past, so it is nice that she is comfortable enough to talk about it now.
