A post shared by Curtis Pritchard (@curtispritchard12) on
Everyone’s been talking about reality star/professional dancer Curtis Pritchard lately.
Earlier this month, the 23-year-old Love Island contestant told the Sun that he didn’t feel comfortable labeling his sexuality and “wouldn’t rule out” being in a relationship with a guy.
“You can never put a label on anything,” he said. “It’s a cliche to say, but love is blind. I can never ever say what will happen in the future.”
Later, he went on Good Morning Britain, where he doubled down on his comments, even as the hosts pressured him to do what he expressly said he didn’t want to do: label his sexuality.
“I’m not labeling anything,” he reiterated, “because I don’t feel like I need to label anything.”

The exchange prompted plenty of criticism online, with many people feeling the line of questioning was disrespectful given the fact that Pritchard clearly stated that he wasn’t going to label himself.
But, evidently, Judge Robert Rinder, the openly gay star of the U.K. reality courtroom series Judge Rinder, is not one of those people.
In a new op-ed published by the Evening Standard, the 41-year-old judge has quite a few opinions about how Pritchard has handled his own coming out.
“I am all for privacy, but if you are the one to start a public discussion about your sexuality, you can reasonably be asked to see that conversation through,” Rinder writes, adding that he was “hugely underwhelmed” by Pritchard’s dodging the question on Good Morning Britain regarding his sexuality.
Rinder added, “Appearing on Love Island is an invitation to have your sex life discussed–suggesting afterwards that you might be bisexual is a guarantee that someone is going to want to know more.”

Rinder goes on to accuse Pritchard of exploiting his sexuality for attention, writing that he believes “that the pink pound can be a useful market to tap” but that there is a difference between “appealing to a gay audience” and “being all-out disingenuous.”
“People who know they’re straight, but refuse to label themselves in order to appeal to a broader audience, are at best indulging in financially motivated, crass flirtation and, at worst, being a cynical tease,” he opines.
We’re pretty sure Pritchard couldn’t care less what Rinder has to say, however. He’s been living his best life on Instagram while partying with Channing Tatum at male strip shows.

Ben Platt Will Do Anything it Takes to Be President in Ryan Murphy’s ‘The Politician’ — WATCH
The Politician, Ryan Murphy’s new dark comedy is a tale of ruthless political treachery, morality, fine-tuned image-crafting, and high school.
Ben Platt plays Payton Hobart, a wealthy Santa Barbara high school student whose goal is to be president of the United States. His test kitchen for that run is Saint Sebastian High School, where he’ll mount a campaign to become student body president and try to secure a spot at Harvard.
The series, which debuts on Netflix on September 27, also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoey Deutch, Lucy Boynton, Julia Schlaepfer, Laura Dreyfuss, Rahne Jones, Theo Germaine, David Corenswet, Bob Balaban, Benjamin Barrett, and Jessica Lange, who delivers the line of the trailer: “I don’t understand why calling a gay man a ‘buttmunch’ was such a scandal. That’s what gays do: munch butts and celebrate Halloween.”

Adam DeVine shares his unfiltered thoughts on “butt stuff”
Adam DeVine is the latest celebrity to participate in Buzzfeed’s thirsty tweet video series. The 35-year-old actor and his Workaholics co-star Blake Anderson recently sat down to read some of the filthiest things being written about them online.

“Adam DeVine could call me a bitch and I would still let him tear me open,” one particularly parched fan tweeted.
“How about I call you nice names and then I enter?” DeVine suggested instead before lamenting about the “too aggressive” youth of America. “I want to caress and enter, not call you a bitch and tear you open.”
“I have a wide hole for Adam DeVine,” another fan tweeted, prompting DeVine to wonder aloud, “Does anyone want a wide hole?”

And then there was this gem: “When will Adam DeVine eat my ass?”
Unfortunately for whoever tweeted that, the Pitch Perfect star isn’t down with analingis.
“Hey, I’m not going to,” he replied. “These kids are all into butt stuff, wide open, eating butts. When did the eating butts thing take over?”

Pulse Survivors Headlining ‘Ex-Gay’ ‘Freedom March’ 10 Minutes from Nightclub
Pulse Survivors Headlining ‘Ex-Gay’ ‘Freedom March’ 10 Minutes from Nightclub
Two survivors of the Pulse Nightclub massacre who say that they’re no longer gay are headlining an “ex-gay” “Freedom March” 10 minutes from where the mass shooting that killed 49 people took place. The march is set to take place on September 14.
Newsweek reports: ‘The event is one of many such rallies put on across America by the Freedom March organization, which celebrates “freedom from homosexual/transgender lifestyles by the grace and power of Jesus Christ,” according to its website. The last Freedom March was held in June 2019 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Orlando rally will take place at Lake Eloa Park, about 10 minutes away from the Pulse nightclub, which has become something of a memorial to anti-gay violence and America’s mass shooting epidemic. Organizers are promoting the involvement of two survivors of the Pulse shooting, Luis Javier Ruiz and Angel Colon, both of whom no longer identify as gay.’
The magazine adds: “Ruiz and Colon have also founded Fearless Identity, an organization that encourages people to reject their LGBT identities. Ruiz says they founded the ministry after receiving backlash for identifying as ex-homosexuals.”
