"Larry!" - "Don't say that."

Tumblr didn't let me upload it, so to YouTube it went!

I looked for this because of this ask sent to Gina @twopoppies. The moment starts around 12:00. I also agree with Gina that Roman seems to know H & Lou personally since at least 2017. And I'm pretty sure he knows they're (practically) married. We know they don't hide in professional circles (as well as with adult family and friends), but Roman also knows he's not supposed to mention it publicly, so the 'don't say that' makes perfect sense. Ironically, Roman's also the one who called Louis "Louis Styles" twice in succession in a livestream in 2020 while talking very quickly, before becoming self-aware and realising his mistake.

AITA for not telling my friends my secret and then ghosting them?

I (17F) have been keeping a huge secret from my friends Y, A, and S (all 18F): I'm transgender. It's... not exactly a secret among my classmates, but that leaves me as an outcast.

I've tried to tell S in particular before, but I chickened out and she promised she'd wait for me. Come a year later and I'm determined to do it after a school festival. It was going to be at the same place I tried to do it before, but I got called away to help a classmate with an emergency and sent her ahead.

...unfortunately, S ended up talking to three of my classmates (all 17M I think), and one of them asked her if she was a guy like me. This is how she found out about my secret. I didn't get to tell her, and had to watch in horror as they said awful things.

I ended up running away from her, even though based on her reactions she was going to accept me. I was scared for things to change, and I would rather cut S and the others out of my life before I have a chance to be hurt more. So I did. I blocked their contacts and skipped more school than usual. I wasn't risking any of them finding me--thankfully they don't know where I live.

So... AITA?

Remember… each year the Turner Prize jury shortlist four artists for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation… The prize was first awarded in 1984. It was founded by a group called the Patrons of New Art under the directorship of Alan Bowness. They formed to encourage wider interest in contemporary art and assist Tate in acquiring new works. They felt that Britain should have its own award for visual arts, an equivalent to the Booker Prize.

Pio Abad’s art explores cultural loss and colonial histories, often reflecting on his upbringing in the Philippines. Featuring drawings, etchings and sculptures that depict and transform artifacts from British museums, Abad sheds light on their overlooked histories and connects them to our lives today. He was nominated for his solo exhibition To Those Sitting in Darkness at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. — Tate Britain

Hi did you see this?

https://x.com/thegreatkhalid/status/1860114002107596842

I think HL have been lucky not to have to address something like this

I did. It's so fucked up. I think H/L have been lucky enough to have been in a relationship with each other for most of the time they've been famous, so that helps. And they were worth way more to very powerful people if they were straight. So, if people tried to out them, they were paid off or knew better than to publish that info,

Boys in the Band star Matt Bomer reflected on the beginnings of his acting career and being outed by Perez Hilton on the latest episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner's On Me podcast.

Though he formally came out at Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards in 2012, the actor recalls how his private life was blogger fodder for Perez Hilton in the early 2000s.

"It was a time when folks could kind of take over your own personal narrative before you even had a chance to," recalled the heartthrob. "I remember outlets like Perez Hilton talking about my personal life before I had ever had a chance to even do it myself. And it wasn’t because I didn’t want to; I didn’t even have an opportunity to."

Though he wasn't closeted per se, Bomer called it "a weird time."

"No media outlet was ever going like 'Hey!' I just didn’t have a career that warranted that," he said. No one cared about his story at that time, Bomer told Ferguson, because he wasn't a big enough name. "It felt kind of unfair to me, that that was stolen by people who did have a microphone at the time."

Bomer formally came out at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards in 2012 when he was honoured for his HIV activism and he thanked his family on stage during the acceptance speech.

"I’d really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment," he said.

The actor told Ferguson that he did it because he didn't want his husband Simon Halls or his three boys "to feel like they were some kind of shameful secret or something I was sweeping under the rug so I could have a great career."

❗️please listen to the podcast re: the topic of Matt's "stolen career" after being outed, because it dives deeper into the deeply rooted homophobia in the industry

Imagine Your Favorite Character

Imagine your favorite character taking you out for a lovely evening near a romantic sight for Valentine’s Day. (Like the statue Anteros, the Trevi fountain, Maldives heart island, etc.)

Whether it’s a lovely picnic, sightseeing tour, museum visit or star gazing. The day is truly one to remember!

Remember… the dark, creamy stout that was founded in 1759 by Arthur Guinness was featured in JW Anderson's men's spring 2025 and women's resort show in June. On the runways, models wore knit jumpers or sweaters with the famous harp Guinness logo or a pint of the beer with a moon face sitting atop instead of foam. — WWD
