Richard Armitage casually comes out, says he warned his partner about full-frontal scene in 'Obsession' - Queerty

Of course they had to flash a hot Thorin pic in an article about Richard referring to his partner with male pronouns. 😍

Some awesome new suggestions from @AdoptACrew Check out the thread here. Link to the NPR suggestion site: Here

=== Staying a Polite Menace to Max ===

For those of you who are still up for it-- We are still contacting Max and Commenting on their posts. Thank you @asgardian--angels for the reminder! I'll update this section with more details tomorrow once we have some more.

Current focus with Max is less requesting Renewal and more to Expressing Disappointment about them cancelling marginalised Stories (OFMD, Rap Sh!t, etc), specifically to give them bad PR.

We're still letting Casey Bloys and David Zaslav know no peace.

As usual please be polite, we're not letting max off the hook, but Monday there will be a news article coming out regarding this (Source: Jac (@TheCozyPirate) on Twitter))

Eddie’s Emcee to Broadway?

Another report — this from the LGBTQ news source Queerty — that Eddie Redmayne will bring Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club to Broadway. The production won seven Olivier Awards (the British equivalent of the Tonys) in London in 2022, among them all four musical acting honors, including Eddie’s star turn as the Emcee.

Details + speculation on the “3 tantalizing choices” for Sally Bowles (sorry— Jessie Buckley isn’t among them) by clicking below.

Beyond casting is the question of how much of the stylized + highly praised “immersive” nightclub setting would be replicated. (Photos: @marcsbrenner in @Queerty article; Oliviers from @JustJared; @kitkatclubldn + B&W Redmayne from @atg_prods.)

General biphobia related (not Pedro related):

I totally get what bi guy anon is saying.

I have one gay acquaintance too many with the anti-bi guy attitude and the straight (and even bi) women supporting them thinking they are good allies. (As a bi woman, I feel embarrassed by these bi women, who are a minority but still exist.

And as bi guy anon said, much of this denial comes from misogyny. The brother of one of my best friends, who I knew to be biphobic, was very critical about most women in my his friend's family (including her) except for his mother (complete, with blaming them for their relationship woes. Even his lesbian friends!). And don't get me started on these types of gays calling women "fish."

Also I recently saw in Queerty an article supporting bi celebs and the comments have been awful. "Kit Connor is still young." "Half of then are straight thinking queerness sells and half of them are gay." But my favourites went towards Lil Nas X: "He was bullied into saying he was bi." "He hasnt touched a v* since being born from his mother." And "Oh I am sure Lil Nas X sleeps with one women per week" -obvious sarcasm- (why do these gay dudes expect bi guys to be basically straight womanisers? Not even all straight men sleep with every woman they know). Among more crap.

Yeah, unfortunately I see this all the time too. 😒 People treat bisexuals horribly, men AND women. Don’t even get me started on other genders. And they either expect bisexuals to be gay or they expect them to be straight. There is no situation in which a bisexual person can go “right”, they’re always in the wrong, you know? It’s sad. People also forget sexuality is about attraction and not action. A guy can call himself bisexual and only date men and a girl can call herself bisexual and only date men. The other way around is also true. Lil Nas X said he is bi, it doesn’t matter how many women he’s fucking. He said he is attracted to women too. Kit Connor said he is bi, it doesn’t matter how many men he is fucking, he likes men. I don’t understand what is so hard for people to grasp. 🧐

i havent clicked on a queerty article in 3 years

[stylecouncil]

this comment on this queerty article about victor garbers husband who has painted shirtless sensual portraits of bradley cooper. demand change now shhd

[apocalypse-friend]

For some reason, I always think Queerty is a gay news sature site, so when I get recommended their posts and articles and such, I'm just like "damn these jokes aren't funny at all" before remmebering

#idk to me queerty sounds like satire news name like the Reductress

[saintofpride201]

The article claims that conservatives dogpiled Jill on twitter with hate for her valentines day thing... But nowhere in the article does it post a source, link, screenshot, or otherwise proof that they did so... "Trust us, bro, it happened".

The article is from Queerty, so I'm not too shocked at the lack of integrity.

#'what? Proof? Why do you need proof? I just said they did it now believe me!'

[ericeffiorg]

Anwar was mentioned in this article by Queerty about gay Asians in TV and film!

And by people I mean Americans. Btw this was on a Queerty article about Jakey G and the never-ending gay rumours.

Max: The 34 Absolute Best TV Shows to Watch

==Morale ==

Hey crew. I've been hearing some scuttlebutt around the deck that people are starting to worry again about whether or not s3 is going to happen. The love notes section is already pretty long so I'm not gonna go too crazy up here too -- instead I'm going to just point out that David Jenkins, while not active and posting things for us right now, is sneakily poking around in Samba and Rhys' BTS comments. He's still there, he's still watching, and I think he can tell we're all feeling the high from Samba's releases. Don't give up hope, these things take time. They're gonna get there. I'm gonna add the trends to this section today because I think it's important to see what we did today:

== Love Notes ==

Hey Lovelies. I know I've said it before, but it bares repeating since I know a lot of you are struggling right now.

Just a gentle reminder that if your brain is telling you that there's something wrong with you, or that you've done something wrong or embarrassing -- it's lying to you.

There's been so much dopamine from all the excitement lately with the BTS, that it has to come down at some point, and when it does, your brain will sometimes over-compensate and you start feeling maybe worse than you did before.

This is totally normal, it really is. Our brains are glorious complex pathways of unmeasurable brilliance, and yet a simple hormone change can make that same brain tell us that we're not enough, or we're not worthy.

I am here to remind you, you are so very much enough.

No matter what is happening in your life-- in your job, in your personal relationships, in your family, in your school, anywhere--

YOU ARE ENOUGH, EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE.

If you feel like you've failed, or you've let someone down, just know you are STILL enough. We all fail, it's how we learn.

We pick ourselves back up and we try again, and if we fail again--

We're STILL enough, and we are still worthy of love and comfort.

Eventually you will succeed. You will get there, and all the while while you work on it, YOU. ARE. ENOUGH.

I know it's so hard to see when you're feeling small, but I see you all every day, and I am awe-struck at your constant ability to band together and not only find love and support, but give it so freely and lovingly.

A simple @ to someone, alerting them to something they'd like

A love note in dms or on a tumblr post

A gif or picture or video brought to tumblr from some other platform so others can see them.

Writing a fic or drawing a picture.

A reblog with tags, goofy or not

Anon Asks showing people you support how they feel about a given topic

Liking a post.

These are all love notes. No matter how public or private, they're all there and they all add up eventually to form this wonderful community and you've been kicking ass at love.

I know we all look like we're having a good time, but a lot of us are struggling silently, and yet we're finding ways to reach out to one another and spread love to help us all get through. Love isn't always positivity, it can be commiseration, or frustration on behalf of someone. You all are finding the best ways to help your crew, and I'm so very proud of you.

You all are capable, creative, gifted, beautious piles of stardust smooshed together into one wonderfully unique package, and you are so very loved.

You are enough,

You are loved,

and THINGS WILL GET BETTER Lovelies.

Get some rest <3 You got this.

= Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika =

What can I say, I literally can't not include this Rhys gif today. It's physically impossible, please forgive me. Good fucking lord, I'm going to Costa Rica now. Also, sorry I tried to get a matching Taika gif, but I have run out of brain cells. Hopefully this one will suffice.

"I used to be friends with someone who’s husband worked casting for B’way shows and they said that place is just a cesspool of mean jealous queens." Plenty of my gay and bi friends in theatre (and theatre adjacent) say the same thing. Also Queerty had several comments of queer men saying that they don't get Pedro's attractiveness. (This particularly was in his latest article about "OmarApollogate")

Lol, Pedro feeling the stake through his heart right now! But don’t worry, Pedrito, there are still lots of people of all genders and all sexualities who find you hot and attractive! 😁😁

Ps: DL didn’t give a flying fuck to Omargate, no matter how much the weirdos tried, just saying. 🤭🤭🤭

Profiles of Pride: June 22nd! 🏳️‍🌈Andrea Jenkins🏳️‍🌈

Andrea Jenkins (born 1961) is an American policy aide, politician, writer, performance artist, poet, and transgender activist. She is known for being the first black openly transgender woman elected to public office in the United States, serving since January 2018 on the Minneapolis City Council.

Jenkins moved to Minnesota to attend the University of Minnesota in 1979 and was hired by the Hennepin County government, where she worked for a decade. Jenkins worked as a staff member on the Minneapolis City Council for 12 years before beginning work as curator of the Transgender Oral History Project at the University of Minnesota's Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies.

Jenkins worked for a decade as a vocational counselor with Hennepin County. In 2001, Robert Lilligren, who was running for a seat on the Minneapolis City Council, asked Jenkins to be a part of his campaign. After his election, Jenkins joined Lilligren's staff where she worked as an aide for four years.

In 2005, Elizabeth Glidden was elected to the City Council and hired Jenkins as an aide, in part for Jenkins's extensive network that she had built up during her time in Lilligren's office. While on Glidden's staff, Jenkins earned a fellowship dedicated to transgender issues and helped to establish the Transgender Issues Work Group in 2014. That year, she organized a City Council summit on transgender equity intended to highlight the issues trans people in Minnesota face.

In 2010, Jenkins won the Naked Stages grant from the Jerome Foundation and Pillsbury House Theater. She created "Body Parts: Reflections on Reflections."

In 2015, after 12 years as a policy aide with the Minneapolis City Council, Jenkins began work at the University of Minnesota's Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies where she curates the Transgender Oral History Project (TOHP). Lisa Vecoli, curator of the Tretter Collection, noted that the materials within the collection tend to be gay white male-focused. In her role as curator of the TOHP, Jenkins sought to expand the trans narratives archived in the collection by recording oral histories from up to 300 individuals, totaling as many as 400 hours of interviews.

Jenkins announced in December 2016 that she would run to represent Minneapolis's 8th Ward on the City Council. Glidden, who held the seat, announced that she would not run for reelection. Her campaign slogan was "Leadership. Access. Equity." With Hayden Mora, Jenkins founded Trans United Fund, a political action committee (PAC) to aid transgender candidates. On November 7, 2017, Jenkins won the election with more than 70% of the vote. The Minneapolis City Council has only had six other Black members. During the 2017 election, three Black council members won their races.

She was elected Vice President of City Council shortly after her election. She also serves as chair of the new Race Equity Subcommittee and helped create a Racial Equity Community Advisory Committee consisting of city residents.

Jenkins was one of several dozen women featured on the January 29, 2018, Time cover. The related article is about the many women who ran for office in 2017 and 2018. Five of the women featured are lesbian and transgender candidates,  and all recipients of LGBTQ Victory Fund.

In June 2020, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the first LGBTQ pride parade, Queerty named her among the fifty heroes "leading the nation toward equality, acceptance, and dignity for all people". She was included in the 2022 Fast Company Queer 50 list.
