An amazing man and a family member!
In his memoir, Mr. Stein discussed his sexuality, including his attraction to men and the gay subculture that permeated the entertainment world, particularly in London. “I somehow knew we’d make a rock-and-roll king-and-queen combo,” he wrote of his marriage to Linda, “even if the roles were a little confused.”

So glad to hear about the federal judge blocking that unconstitutional (US and Tennessee’s state constitution) anti-free speech drag ban! Why aren’t all the “free speech” warriors denouncing these speech bans, in Tennessee, Florida and elsewhere? These right-wingers give new meaning to “cancel culture,” “politically correct” hysteria, snowflakery, etc.!

Very glad. I forsee all the little children of these rabid republicans becoming the future queens and popular Gay activists. They will rebel and reject, as most children do, the behaviour and views of the parents.
Some will of course become assholes just like their parents, that’s inevitable.
Openminded
Let’s just hope the temporary status becomes permanent.

I didn’t know who Kelsea Ballerina was before reading this article, but now I’m a big fan. What a statement! And kudos to the queens who participated in that performance.

Oh you’re so right! You made me watch that—–work it! It’s really something how fun this all is. And all the thanks to the extra publicity of the right wing bigots who have little joy and frivolity in their tired church lifestyles. There!

Why 60 minutes would interview garbage like Majorie Taylor Biggot?! Leave that trash for Faux News

MTG made herself look like an idiot as she inevitably would. There’s no downside to that.
dbmcvey
I’m glad she went on and showed just how disgusting she is.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mind has been infected by Trump and she doesn’t know what she is talking about, come on, pedophiles?
Mack
MTG has no mind, how can it be infected?
GrizzleyMichael
Only she knows what a pedophile is and grooming is. TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE
SFMike
She’s an evil Christofascist mouthpiece and knows exactly what she is saying. A true enemy of LGBTQIA+ people everywhere so don’t give her any breaks. Fight against lying fascists.

Gronk yes. Brady NO. He’s a stinking repuglican.
barryaksarben
to. Brady is about as sexy as mayo. yuck. not sexy at all
Doug
Yes. Once again, Queerty finds anything to do with straight men as “homoerotic.”
baugera
So true! Looks better with his clothes on….looks chunkier in his shorts….not pretty…
storm45701
Yep. Julian Edelman is in the video, too, and he is hot as hell.
ShiningSex
Tom and Rob are both hideous and seem boring AF

Tom Brady the trump supporter.
Who cares about that megalomaniac media whore.

Is it just me or does anybody else feel the MTG is a closeted Lesbian and keeps the anti-gay act up so no one will think she is; however, my gaydar is off the charts when I see her just like when I see the Senator from South Carolina, Graham?
