Who will come out in 2024?

Jugh Hackman.

Didn't he cheat on his wife, with a woman?

R2, that woman was a beard!

Married man with an extra beard?

Probably someone nobody's ever heard of.

Apparently, Billie Eilish.

I actually did not see that one coming. But now it makes more sense in retrospect.

2024’s the year for Richard Armitage

Are you blind, r6?

Fortunately, no one who I know. I like my job.

Hopefully Taylor Zakhar Perez

R8 Not R6 What does that mean? She looks just like a typical gen z

Nah, she screams "baby dyke"

Will this be the year for Pedro Pascal?

R12 Baby dyke that's into old ugly men

Mawn Shendes

I don't think so.....R15

Cradley Booper

Hopefully some more people from sports

Edgar Ramirez

[quote] Hopefully Taylor Zakhar Perez

People know that he's married to a man, and he has no obligation to come out to you or to anyone.

Watch his appearance in the White House press room in Red, White & Royal Blue if you don't get it.

Zac Efron has never married.

"People know that he's married to a man"

No, they don't. Most people don't follow celeb gossip.

Richard Simmons?

[quote]Cradley Booper

Not if his latest movie about the great love of Beonard Lernstein's life (his wife) is anything to go by, he isn't.

2024 will probably be a lot like 2023 -- most gay celebrities will stay in the closet.

Come out from where, Dorothy?

Manu Rios

Sam Heughan

Shawn Mendes

Chace Crawford

Shawn Pyfrom

Heughan and Mendes are too deep in the closet. They're not coming out unless they get dragged out in a scandal (like Kevin Spacey)

Agreed, R32. Mendes just started a new bearding relationship with an older woman, so he's obviously not ready yet.

Sophia Loren

[quote]Sam Heughan

[quote]Shawn Mendes

The same old usual tired suspects, neither of whom is going to even come close to coming out. Why bother with a 2024 list? Just rerun a list from 2023 or 2022 or 2021 or . . .

Neither Shawn is out? I thought Shawn P came out in the Desperate Housewives days.

[quote] "People know that he's married to a man" [quote] No, they don't. Most people don't follow celeb gossip.

Then why would those same people be interested in his sexual orientation?

R18, if there are any, it won't be a star player, but more likely a journeyman player like Carl Nassib.

R3 Lawd. Hollywood hoes now have beards for their beards? Where they do that at 😂

Well, MOST guys in football aren't stars.

[quote]I thought Shawn P came out in the Desperate Housewives days.

I don't think he ever officially did. He just hung around with the other Camp Podwall guys like Chace Crawford and Colton Haynes all the time—attending Backstreet Boys reunion concerts, Fashion Week, etc. (as one does with one's straight dudebro pals).

Survivor winner Parvati Shallow is out, and in a relationship with comedian Mae Martin

Matt Damon

Ben Affleck aka SCRAWNY BOTTOM

John Travolta

Tom Cruise

Val Kilmer

Ryan Reynolds

Jake Gyllenhaal

Leonardo DeCaprio

Tom Hanks

Tom Selleck

Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett. It's time, ladies.

[quote]Survivor winner Parvati Shallow is out, and in a relationship with comedian Mae Martin

Doesn't it just figure that, being Shallow, she would use the word "queer"?

Another Survivor winner comes out the same day. Only as a lesbian, not queer

Link

Is Survivor the new Michfest?

I love it when people come out as "members of the LGBTQ community." David Archuleta did that originally. Could that phrase be any more vague?

Yeah, R49, it's a way for some celebrities to avoid having to say the dreaded word "gay".

Uh, some of them AREN'T gay. Some might be bi, or something else. I believe David Archuleta said he is bi (which I don't believe but...whatever)

R46, oh, please. That whore, Parvati? Let's give her wishy-washy ass a year before anybody declares her 'queer.'

Ah I was coming here to say Taylor ZP from Red White & Royal Blue but I see some teenage crusader has already come fighting to tell us he doesn’t need too & we’ve all missed the point of the movie 🙃. I’m a world of closet cases, be a Jonathan Bailey Taylor. You can be private & still be honest.

He won’t though. He’s desperately trying to tap into the Chinese market & well, homophobia.

Nobody gives a shit about lesbians.

[quote]Uh, some of them AREN'T gay. Some might be bi, or something else. I believe David Archuleta said he is bi (which I don't believe but...whatever)

Archuleta calling himself bi was just to avoid the dreaded G word. In later interviews, he made it clear he isn't sexually attracted to women, which was why none of his "engagements" led to marriages. Anyway, he calls himself queer now.

R52 Why?

R54 Most people give a shit

Tracie Ellis-Ross

JC Chasez

No they don't R57. I second what R54 said.

On Datalounge - when it says "come out" it means males. We aren't interested in carpet munchers.

Michael Cimino

R55 He's referring to himself as gay and queer interchangeably these days. He's turned trade either way.

If he qualifies for the Austrian Olympic diving team, there's a high chance Alexander Hart will come out this summer.

Melania

^ Did seeing Donald naked turn her into a lesbian?

OP Oliver Jackson-Cohen is probably not gay

When he did Man in an Orange Shirt he did that thing that straight actors playing gays do where they grab each other’s heads and mash them together

“But surely this incredibly good looking man should be married and have children.”

Watch this interview starting at 1:20

You notice anything, maybe, a little bit off? Not quite in step?

Notice how when he begins to talk, his eyes get a very introspective glaze, they sort of become unfocused, and he begins to look down a lot, or off to the sides, or up? Notice how uncomfortable he seems, how frequently he will reach up to scratch a part of his face or head somewhat abruptly, and is seemingly unable to look straight ahead and sit still while speaking?

Anything stick out about that to you?

Mary Tyler Muir?

What does she have to lose?

Irish politician Jack Chambers

Spanish bullfighter Mario Alcalde

[quote] JC Chasez

I would love that. He is just irrelevant enough to get some unwarranted publicity for it.

Will Tim Scott abandon the "girlfriend"?

Shane West?

Usher and Cuba Gooding Jr. were just FORCED out!

R73 Cuba Gooding?????

Yes, R74, in the latest lawsuit against P. Diddy, which claims Diddy tried to pass off the male plaintiff to Cuba on Diddy’s yacht.

I’m dying at Mary Tyler Muir R67.

An interesting article discussing the possibility that MMA fighter Sean Strickland could be a closet case.

Lex Fridman will come out as heteroflexible.

Indie singer Lauv again... kinda

THEY?! Oh ffs just come out already.

R80 I don't think there's any doubt that he's not queer in some way

*meant that he IS queer

Sebastian Cabot

Jim O’Heir

The stars of Dead Boy Detectives

George Rexstrew (E.D.W.I.N of the Dead Boy Detectives) is gay from outer space. Has to be.

Hopefully a few celebrities will come out in June for Pride Month.

R86 I've read both actors are straight. Have no idea if it's true or not though.

R86 Nvm, he is clearly gay.

Lou Ferrigno Jr

These 2 and whatever they got going on..

Taylor Zakhar Perez

Manu Rios

Pedro Pascal?

Yeah, if Rexstrew is anything besides gold star gay I need to take my gaydar in for a factory reset.

[quote]Taylor Zakhar Perez

That ship has sailed, there's a pre-stardom advert for some business venture of him introducing himself with his hubby's last name.

Noah Jupe

r96 Possibly but actors dressing like a rentboy on his 5th client of the night at premiers/award shows is kind of just a thing these days.

[quote]Hopefully a few celebrities will come out in June for Pride Month.

It's just the opposite. They're closeting.

Sure, R20, he's married to someone whose existence he refuses to acknowledge for the sake of his career. How admirable.

It's disgraceful that it's 2024 and so little has changed in Hollywood.

Queen Latifah finally brought her wifey to an event.

Fans of Supernatural probably already know that the actor who played Garth came out a few years ago. Recently, he announced that he is engaged and it blew my mind when I read who it is... it's the actor who played Benny the vampire!

After I read this news, I thought it was a joke, that some fans were playing 'wish fulfillment' or some fan fiction story got skewed. I had no idea about Ty Olsson being gay/bi. This couple joins the other pairs that came together after working on the show: Jared and Genevieve got married, the guy who played Chuck/God has a child with the actress who played Rowena, etc.

Best wishes to the happy couple!

Rob Benedict having a child with Ruth Connell blows my mind just as much as DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson getting married. Omg!

Added to R102: The Supernatural actors are DJ Qualls (Garth) and Ty Olsson (Benny) if you want to look them up.

I used to jerk off to Rob Benedict when he was on Felicity. How time flies.

Qualls lucked out.

Olsson being gay doesn't really surprise me, but the marriage certainly does. Did they even work together on any episodes? Or was it a met-doing-Supernatural-conventions sort of thing?

At any rate, hope they're very happy together.

They met at a convention.

“But on that trip, I met Ty. At the convention, we didn’t know each other at all. We maybe said three words together at the Supernatural convention, and then we went to London for four or five days afterward,” Qualls remembered. “And then I was going to Turkey with a friend, and he is such a pure, awesome guy, he came up to us — we all went out as a group — and he was like, ‘Can I come on your trip with you?’ And I’m like, ‘That is so ballsy!’ I could never invite myself on somebody’s trip. ‘Cause I’d be afraid they would begrudgingly tell me yes and then not want me there. But it was just so pure and awesome, and that’s who he is. I didn’t know him. And it was the beginning of our friendship.”

Very happy for DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson.

Andrew Garfield

Joshua Robert Colley

Did Dead Boy Detectives have the gayest cast ever? Lukas Gage, Joshua Robert Colley and George Rexstrew.

Maybe another Carl Nassib-type professional athlete, i.e., not a star player but a journeyman player.

I'd imagine Glee outdoes it R112, even if you only count the confirmed out cast members.

Folks who should come out but won’t until they’re busted:

Matt Morrison

Darren Criss

Ryan Whatshisname from 9-1-1 (already busted, but it’s oddly not his mainstream media.)

Another vote for both Chris Pine and Andrew.

Who will not:

Richard Madden

The (delusional) Jeremy Renner and his gay twin Bradley Cooper.

Clooney.

Pedro Pascal won't come out anytime soon, either. He's a coward who wants that A-list career at all costs.

Tina Louise

Charo

John Goodman

North West

Rumi Carter

Jimmy Carter

Sally Jesse Raphael

Pat Sajak

Is Pedro Pascal gay or bi?

r115, sorry, have posted this here many times over the years, but have met Darren Criss and he has a very straight, sort of frat-boy vibe, and yet is also somehow adorable in terms of personality. He's also tiny. The hair and makeup people make him look gorgeous, but he would otherwise look like an average dude-bro. He's made a career out of playing gay roles, but (sadly) that doesn't make him gay.

Google Darren Criss Dallas on YouTube…its several years old and he’s got the biggest, penis-shaped bald spot imaginable.

Mrs Nicholas Galitzine- Kevitch

R119 the last Frau Gleek. who knew

I watched that show exactly one half of one episode. Pictures of Darren's pretty face were everywhere, so I recognized him on 24th Street in SF, which is where he's from. He's actually from somewhere out in the avenues, so I don't know what he was doing in Noe Valley. Talked with him briefly while waiting in line for coffee. He was unkempt and was with a rather ugly dude bro type. My gaydar did not ping at all. I actually told him that I was disappointed about exactly that and wished him good luck. He was friendly and seemed to love being recognized, but that was very early in his career.

Wow, the Criss PR machine (Criss with a google alert) is out in full force.

Yeah, why are we talking about Criss? For some reason, posters tend to waste hundreds of posts discussing popular people who have publicly come out as straight and always ignore people who are more likely to actually be gay and eventually come out. I focus on the later (e.g. Liam Aiken, Archie Madekwe, Finn Jones, or Nick Weschler) personally because it's all about the satisfaction being right for me. Of course anybody could be secretly gay. But what use is it talking about Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman or Nick Galatzine, when they're never going to come out and I will never have the sweet satisfaction of being right?

R125. Hi, Darren!

R125 makes a good point. When we have talked about people in the past who were likely to come out or who were in a glass closet (eg. Colton Haynes, Garrett Clayton, Julian Morris, Wentworth Miller, etc.) we have been right. All of those people eventually came out.

I think R125 is probably on the right track with guys like Finn Jones and Nick Weschler. Focusing on people who are very unlikely to come out anytime within the next decade (if ever) is probably a path to nowhere.

Michael Cimino

R128 If he didn't come out during Love, Victor then he's never coming out.

Finn Jones is hot

Chace Crawford

R130, Finn Jones is also friends with Julian Morris & Landon Ross -- one of many clues that he may be gay:

He might not be a Kinsey 6, but there's no way I'd believe he wasn't the third man in on one of their shared vacations.

They’ve fucked.

Jessica Madsen from Bridgerton

Former Nickelodeon actor Paul Butcher

Ronald McDonald

R135 She came out this time last year, as bi. Now she just saying she's dating a woman

Seth Meyers and John Mulaney. Together.

r136 Has he said what he is? Because he's got what is apparently a non-binary sticker on in the last picture which seems like a waste of good twink.

As usual, we don't seem to be getting any significant names coming out.

Wrestler comes out as bi

R142 Why is it never the attractive ones?

^ Not into bears, huh? :-)

As some come out, others go deeper into the closet

^^^ Sis!

R145 If anything that makes him look even more gay.

Plan B: What's Liza up to?

R136.

Folks on his IG continue to welcome to the LGBT community, and he acknowledges and thanks them, but it’s not clear how he identifies…but the photo looked pretty fucking gay to this confirmed homosexual.

Welcome him….

Heughan is a desperate closet case.

[quote]Outlander' Star Sam Heughan Reveals Hilarious Plan To Woo Taylor Swift Away From Travis Kelce

[quote]If anything that makes him look even more gay.

[quote]After his video, more sure he's gay. What man does that silly, egocentric, giggle-filled video in a blonde wig, trying to rival for a woman, even as joke? He was camp.

Heughan's not even enough of an actor to make *that* sound convincing. So half-hearted. He might have appeared more straight if he'd made some tongue-in-cheek joke about stealing Kelce away from Swift.

*Hidin' in plain sight, and all that

It's pretty appalling that this is still going on in 2024.

Has nobody famous come out this year? What a disapppintment.

^ Sophia Bush

R156 I don'r carw about lesbians.

R157 Sucks for you

Not Henry Cavill as he is having a baby.

Is he already showing? R159

Who's the lucky father?

Meryl Streep's youngest daughter came out

Meryl's daughter (who is on the show The Gilded Age)

So this year a million lesbians have come out and zero gay men. Isn't that fun.

Nobody had M’s daughter on their radar.

R164 Gay men are so passé

They're not passe

They're just scared

I admire quality people with integrity…actors, men and women, who come out, chiefly for their sanity or out of principle.

It’s got to be a hellish decision, but I admire those who choose to do it.

I’ve also grown to respect those who will not comment on their private lives…but the bearding ones…fuck them, and I hope they’re both outed and shamed.

Omar Apollo basically outed Pedro Pascal with these lyrics.

Amber Ruffin.

Less women and more men, please.

Once again, Chace Crawford will probably not come out this year despite that he's been outed. He's still very pretty (all that makeup and the famed arched eyebrows) but is too old to be a heart throb for teenaged girls. He played a weak role in a bad movie called "Inheritance" this year. Not much of a career anymore. What's he got to lose?

T172. When was he outed?

R172 I guess if you ignore The Boys you could say he has no career.

What percentage of Eric Podwall’s boys are gay/bi?

His latest client list seems to be Joe Mazzello (gay), Ben Hardy, Chace Crawford…

Is Joe Mazzello getting any action from Ben Hardy or Chace Crawford??

Ladies have you beat fellas

[quote]Less women and more men, please.

Fewer women and more men, please.

[quote]Ladies have you beat fellas

Those were no ladies.

[quote]I’ve also grown to respect those who will not comment on their private lives…but the bearding ones…fuck them, and I hope they’re both outed and shamed.

Agree.

Not until my Donald is free from marriage and puts a ring on my finger. I’d be the best First Lady ever.

Glass closeted Instagram hottie Sean O'Donnell has been laying clues the past couple days. Especially his IG stories.

Actress Valorie Curry came out as a lesbian. Also, some famous female YouTuber came out as a lesbian

Disappointing month overall.

That seems like a pretty obvious "clue," R181.

Sean O’Donnell's ass in jeans:

Sean O’Donnell's VPL in white underwear:

Should I know who Sean O'Donnell is?

Randy Rainbow

R187 I had to check, looks like he's primarily an Instagram model

r173, a major, legitimate publication, like Vanity Fair or The New Yorker -- which would not risk a liability lawsuit -- ran an article that stated plainly that Chace Crawford is openly gay to his immediate friends but is closeted to the public. Crawford did not challenge this article, but he may have made vague statements to other media claiming that he's "not gay".

R182, what happened to her ex-husband, Sam Underwood? Is he also gay?

R191 No, he just gets depressed for hih wife leaving him to be a lesbian.

It was the New York Observer R190, so maybe not quite so lofty/careful a publication. But the writer gave a firsthand account of what he saw in public at an awards show.

Sassy runner Trey Cunningham is out

Julia Fox

Ben Hardy?

Hardy seems to be having his benign 'Josh Hutcherson' moment, in service of selling his new trans film. Once it's out, he'll go back to obscurely banging ugly women.

Out women are slowly starting to outnumber out men

R196, isn’t Ben hooking up with the little boy from Jurassic Park?

Dej Loaf

Formula 1 race car driver Ralf Schumacher

R201 Better late than never I guess

Are we sure Paul Mescal is straight?

[Quote]Paul Mescal says he loves musicals and truly can’t wait for Wicked. “I’m a musical theatre boy.”

I hope Gavin Casalegno makes it official after wearing a rainbow surfboard necklace on a recent IG story. Of course, he's also religious, so maybe it's a coincidence and means nothing. At any rate, he's pretty.

At least one of two engaged guys I know!

Harry Collett

Chuck Grassley & Mitch McConnell

Scottish actor Joe McFadden announced that he's engaged to a man

What a disappointing year. Ugh.

R208 Well he wasn't getting any younger.

Agreed, R209. This year was the same as so many others. Despite it being 2024 (and only a few months from 2025) we are still living in a time where most actors are still afraid to come out.

Andrew Garfield

The dreaded slew of inconsequential nepo babies who will "come out" as gender-fluid, asexual, or whatever else ticks the collective box of banalities.

Finneas

Considering his sister's bisexual, I wouldn't be shocked R214

Jermelle Simon

Actor Carlo Arrechea came out as bisexual

^ Ooooh, he's hot!

Shawn Mendes

Yep, we're in the middle of a soft roll out. Good for him if he's feeling better about himself.

We discussed that song back in AUGUST. Why are people bringing it up now?

Unpopular opinion: I think Shawn is bi and his relationship with Camila was real. It felt safe for him after being friends for so long. He only recently came to terms with his sexuality after denying it for so long. Bisexuals tend to come out later than gays. His publicist/record label probably agreed to this slow roll out because he will come out as bi, meaning he is edgy and brave and delusional girls still think they have a shot with him. He won't lose any fans.

I think he's fully gay but won't come out until he's in his late 40s when no one will care or even know who he is anymore.

I’m thinking Shawn would prefer the Richard Chamberlain coming-out scenario, but with the proliferation of phone cameras and social media, he’ll soon be captured being railed multiple times like a Sean Cody bottom.

Shawn Mendes. Finally!

R225 Way too dramatic.

Chloe Moretz as gay. Surprisingly not as queer/bi. Many attractive famous lesbians in the last few years

R227 Lesbians are a dime a dozen. Gay male celebrities however refuse to come out.

R228 That's funny since DL always claim how there are a few lesbians compared to gay men.

R229 There may be fewer, but they sure as hell are louder.

Straight Hollywood power players find lesbians hot and marketable.

Gay men, not so much…even the gay power players would prefer to keep them closeted for the irrational typecasting fear.

Cousin Oliver

R231 Exactly.

R231 That's BS. Straight men find bi women hot. When the two hot women are together they want to have a chance to get between them. They are threatened by lesbians.. hot women not wanting them or finding them attractive is not something they find hot. Thy are okay with butch lesbians cause they don't want to fuck them and see them as their bros. An attractive feminine lesbians, no

R230 So are lesbians dime a dozen or are they fewer but louder? Make up your mind.

Khalid

Khalid comes out. Good for him.

Alexander Siddig (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Game of Thrones, & Da Vinci's Demons) revealed in an interview earlier this year that he is "not quite straight":

Little Britain's David Walliams comes out as "probably non-binary". Meh, wishy washy.

By the way, you might want your ad-blockers enabled before you venture into the London Standard's terrible website.

R239 David, you're too old for that bullshit.

David Walliams is the worst cunt I ever had the misfortune to work with. He's completely awful.

Brazilian tennis player João Lucas Reis da Silva

Luigi Mangione!

R242, wow, he's hot. So is the bf.
