I ended up making out with 137 people. Which was not nearly as disturbing as the fact that I licked the stage, the floor of the stage, 137 times. That’s where most, if any, infection came from. I’ve never been on more handfuls of vitamins and trace minerals and pills. I think I did five rounds of antibiotics during the show? Just to make sure I was going to get through it. There were thousands of people who wanted to see the show, and I’m only there for a finite period of time, so I didn’t want to have to fall out, because that meant they would have to reschedule or not be able to see it, at least not with me.”

I understand that this guy is one of the few gay recognizable celebrities out there to write about, but I’m really sick of seeing this guy’s face. He’s not offensive or anything, but having to see his face and some vapid story on him each time I visit a gay website has become tiring. He’s slowly moving into that Davy Wavey and Tom Daley section that I intentionally avoid.

So he was on antibiotic PrEP, lol.

@Black Pegasus: Completely agree and just had this same conversation with some friends after seeing him in a commercial.

@Black Pegasus: I think we’re stuck with him. He’s something of a younger, male Ellen — one of the first highISH profile celebs from his generation to come out; plus he’s so inoffensive and white bread as to appeal to the lowest common denominator. All that aside, I’m sure he’s a very nice person.

Is a run of 137 consecutive performances considered unusual on Broadway? I don’t know the context….
Black Swan
So the show entails him to walk into the audience every night, and make out with a completely different stranger? Well I can’t sing, but I’ll lick the floor for that much action. Kidding. Kidding.

You can have bareback sex with a million people and you still won’t catch an STD provided all those people don’t have an STD.

@michael mellor: Duh, Einstein. But how do you know that none of them have an STD? It only takes ONE.
Anyway he’s talking about KISSING, not your favorite monomaniacal subject bareback sex!
