MSNBC's Vaughn Hillyard comes out on Instagram

What? Is anybody else shocked by this?

Well I’ll be.

Congrats to him. <3

He's been posting photos of himself arm-and-arm with the bf for a while on IG without remarking on the relationship.

Cute kids. I hope they can make it.

Vaughn probably never made less than an A in any class and was probably the valedictorian and student body President.

And landed at MSNBC right out of college.

I know this type. I hope he has better mental health care than my generation did. Because if your gayness pushes you to overachieve and create a perfect image, when something normal (i.e. that straight people deal with all the time) happens—like a job loss or relationship ending—you can spiral hard. I get that vibe from him.

In other BREAKING NEWS, the sky is blue, rice is white, and the Pope is Catholic.

another gay couple that looks like they could be brothers...

Or a gay couple who each pick someone who is a slightly more attractive/slightly more successful version of themselves.

It's the same thing they say about straight married people who've been together for a while. They begin to look like each other.

I can't envision them actually fucking. Just bumping Kenlike smooth bumps against each other for a few seconds.

CBS's Jonathan Vigliotti and his boyfriend, however — fuck do those two fuck.

Has Vaughn already taken the photo down, I don't have Instagram so what I can view is limited, but I don't see that picture on Vaughn's Instragram.

I noticed the same thing, R11.

OP's photo was not on Vaughn's Instagram.

Not sure where it came from.

They’re weird-looking, like inbred Mormons from Utah. Are they?

Did the one on the right escape from the Hall of Presidents at Disney World?

Another Best Little Boy in the World…love that OP

Creepy.

Another gay guy with a boyfriend who could be his twin.

Nice to see DL's usually outpouring of love and support for a newly out young man and his partner.

Who did what now?

Basic, privileged, white, social-climbing, incest survivor Queens who never got over being teased by the football players date each other… groundbreaking

link please!!!!!

They really do look alike.

Jonathan Vigliotti is straight, you stupid cunt!

He’s aged out of “NewsTwink” status. He’s almost 31!

Jonathan's wife.

Stupid cunt.

They look like it's 1956.

Vigliotti and boyfriend look alike too, just Mediterranean versions.

I know for lesbians it's called "cane face". Whatever it is for gays, these two have it exponentially.

Vigliotti is married to a man.

WHY.... can't we ever see a report of a well-known or successful gay couple who aren't "affluently clean-cut" and are poster boys for what everyone, especially the media, thinks gay men are/should look like?

Will we ever see in the news, or commercials or television a "real" gay couple? Maybe one who isn't feminine, or who isn't lean and trim, and who doesn't wear slim-fit Marmot jackets? Maybe a slightly bearish couple, (no, not stereotypical bears), a couple who don't photograph as immediately attractive or beautiful, a couple where at least one of them looks like a plumber or works on cars for a living, or who farms? And no, not the stereotype "hot cop" or "hot farmer". Just, two, REAL guys. Especially a couple who is over 40 or even over 45.

We've seen variations of all of this, but always adjacent to a stereotype. Look at the couple on that Modern Family television show. Neither guy was a spring chicken. Neither was "beautiful" or "sexy". One was even a big bear. But, of course, they had to be affluent, living in a very well-off neighborhood in a nice big beautiful home that adopted the stereotypical Asian girl. One was "practical" but, of course, had a big-time job. The other was prone to nelly outbursts and was a flouncing stereotype. And yet, they were supposed to be the "modern" version of a gay couple.

Why is society barred from seeing those representations of us?

R30 is a nuclear bomb about to go off.

Did you have to quote Our Millennial Nincompoop, r31?

I watch MSNBC but have no idea who this is

They don't look alike at all. The one of the left (is that Vaughn?) is cute. The one on the right looks like Max Headroom.

I’ll bet Vaughn is getting banged by Morgan Chesky on the DL at work.

The teeth look oddly alike

They boyfriend was in all his photos from 2020.

They've been together for a while.

Maybe they are auditioning for the revival of Book of Mormon

1 year is like 9 in gay.

I think Vaughn has a secret crush on Pete Bootygag.

Mr & Mr Pasty Bland. Congrats.

At least they don't look like twins.

The face on the left is too big for the head. The lines are outside of the face. I can see it without enlarging it. It's pasted in by someone who did a crap job of making it look natural.

R42 If they actually were twins, that would be (slightly) more interesting.

No couple will ever satisfy r29’s bizarre desire.

Wow Carol, you look "healthier" since your last appointment pre-pandemic!

The photo is on Vaughn's Instagram Stories — not his posts — and it's still up.

At the wedding, will he be able to read his vows without bouncing up and down?

On his boyfriend's cock?

Here is a link to a family gathering: parents; sister and brother-in-law; and the couple.

Vaughn is way more attractive than old RatFace.

I'm watching the Civil War special and it's very good.

Im sorry,but R30 killed me with the "hissometer" ! If they were more attractive Id jump all over you bitches for not being supportive of a fellow gay,but since they look like manikins ,hiss on Gurls !

So where did he come out? I guess I'm missing something.

Is the 'newly-crowned' husband Paul a reference to Vaughn's husband?

I can't figure this out. It didn't occur to me that he was gay...or straight.

[quote] So where did he come out? I guess I'm missing something.

He didn't. He hasn't officially said he's gay (though it's easy to figure it out from his IG photos).

Isn't the b/f some sort of aide to Schumer or some other Senator? If I remember correctly the b/f works on in Congress. It is probably more for the b/f that they are keeping it quite than for Vaughn.

Oh Dear myself quiet not quite.

Who's the top and who's the bottom?

I agree

Vigliotti has some hawt dirty sexy
