Did ‘Teen Wolf’ Star Tyler Posey Just Come Out as Gay? – WATCH
Tyler Posey, the actor perhaps best know for his lead role on MTV’s Teen Wolf, may have just come out as gay. Or he may have just been making a rather insensitive joke.
Posey shared a video on Snapchat on Friday in which he allegedly comes out.
In the video, Posey walks towards a street sign that says “Gay St.” As he arrives at the sign Posey said, “This is me. I am this and this is me. I’m gay! I’ve never felt more alive. I’m gay!”

Posey has not posted anything on his other social channels to confirm that he has in fact come out.
However, Posey has since posted another video on Snapchat that implies his ‘coming out’ may have all been a joke.
That video shows a lamp and Posey says, “Oh man, am I happy! I’ve never felt more happy than I do right now. I’m lamp.”
@tylergposey was gay few min ago.. Is he a lamp now? 😂 HES JUST JOKING & no offense he has gay friends & love them pic.twitter.com/tgtqRYrIIr

While that seems to be mocking or making fun of his earlier video, it’s all still rather vague.
Meanwhile, Twitter is losing its mind.
I spend one day off Twitter and we have a Gay Tyler Posey Mystery afoot. Usually were just fighting about failed HBO shows but I MISS THIS?

If it was a ‘joke’, there are many who will not have found it amusing.

I ain’t mad that Tyler Posey isn’t gay it’s just ugly to joke about coming out when it’s a big part of the LGBTQ+ community and our lives

Queer people are beaten, killed, treated like lesser human beings & people like Tyler Posey thinks it’s a funny joke to pretend to be gay.

Gay Civil Unions Have Begun Taking Place in Italy – PHOTOS, VIDEO
Same-sex couples in Italy have begun entering into civil unions, months after the nation became the last in Western Europe to provide some measure of marriage rights for its LGBT citizenry.
Same-sex civil unions were finally made legal by Italy’s parliament after a long debate that came down to a confidence vote on Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
Town halls across Italy Friday reported that requests for gay unions have started coming in, although there was confusion over who was the first to have their partnership registered as the legislation took effect.
Some local media reported that a lesbian couple known as Helen and Deborah held a ceremony attended by family and friends last Sunday in Castel San Pietro, in the province of Bologna.

Elena e Deborah sono una famiglia, la prima unione civile tra due donne in Italia. Congratulazioni alle spose 🙂 pic.twitter.com/FTKPIrhTz6

Meanwhile, other media reports indicated that a couple in Milan was the first same-sex couple to enter into a civil union. Via The Local:
In Milan an official went Wednesday to an intensive care unit to perform the civil union ceremony of a terminally ill 53-year-old teacher named Margherita and her partner of 28 years.
Theirs will be the first registered in Milan in about 10 days’ time, the city told the media.
Regardless of who was first, it seems that same-sex couples in Italy are finally being granted some legal recognition of their relationships.
However, same-sex couples are still not allowed to adopt and, as DW notes, “more complicated cases, such as couples of different nationalities who got married overseas”, will have to wait until December to be formally recognized.
In other good news for same-sex couples in Italy, the balcony in Verona where Romeo (of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet) is rumored to have wooed Juliet has been made available to same-sex couples to celebrate their unions. Tornos News reports:
Verona’s city council announced this week that all municipal venues traditionally available to heterosexual couples getting married could also be used by same-sex couples entering civil unions. These include the Casa di Giulietta, a renovated medieval residence that once belonged to a noble family, the del Cappellos, who are believed by locals to have inspired Shakespeare’s fictional Capulets.
The council said that Verona, like every other municipality, was awaiting instructions from authorities on how the new unions needed to be recorded, but that the city was already making preparations to host the celebrations. About 20 requests have so far been received.
