Reality star Justin Lacko maybe probably just came out

Australian reality star Justin Lacko revealed that he loves men and women in a series of since-deleted Instagram posts.

Daily Mail was first to report that 29-year-old Lacko wrote: “Love who you want to! Doesn’t matter the sex.”

Then he added: “I won’t lie anymore within myself. I want freedom to be free. I respect myself to say this. I love me and always will.”

Shortly after that, he clarified: “This isn’t me coming out at all about being gay. This is me coming out today that I fall in love with a person not a sex. I love women and man [sic] that’s it.”

“Gay, bi, straight–just be who you are. I don’t care and neither should anyone else.”

It’s not totally clear what he meant, but many have interpreted the “I love women and men” remark to mean he’s either bisexual, pansexual, or sexually fluid.

Lacko has yet to elaborate on what he meant or to explain why he later deleted the remarks. Adding to the confusion, yesterday he shared an image of a black square along with a “peace” emoji.

Lacko, who was first cast on Love Island Australia and then later appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, has said in the past that his grandmother refused to speak to him because she suspected he was gay.

“I have held onto a grudge with my grandma,” he said on I’m a Celebrity. “I say ‘hi’ to her when I see her at Christmas time, I acknowledge her, but that’s it.”

“She said something like, ‘I think it’s time we admitted that Justin is gay and in the closet. He never brings girls home.’”

He added, “Someone’s sexuality is none of your business. I don’t feel like it’s anyone’s business unless I choose to say it myself.”

Is cybersex making a comeback thanks to coronavirus?

As many cities and countries around the world are entering into lockdown in an effort to flatten the curve of coronavirus, many folks are beginning to wonder how all this will impact their sex lives.

For a lot of us, sex is a major stress buster, not to mention calorie burner. So it’s understandable that, amid a global pandemic, when everyone’s stressed out and unable to exercise, people might want to do it.

The New Zealand AIDS Foundation just issued a statement warning people against having casual or anonymous sex while countries around the world struggle to contain the virus.

“People should not even be considering leaving the house for casual or anonymous sex and should not be inviting people into their homes,” says Dr. Jason Myers.

“We acknowledge that sex and intimacy are great ways to help stay connected and boost mental wellbeing, and we acknowledge that sex will continue to be a part of our lives in the coming weeks and months.”

Just to be clear, COVID-19 is not an STI, but close contact with someone who is infected is extremely high risk. And having sex is about as close you can possibly get to a person.

“We have tools such as condoms to prevent HIV and other STIs,” Myers said, “but COVID-19 is not an STI and requires different prevention measures.”

Of course, expecting everyone in the world to be totally celibate for the foreseeable future is pretty much impossible, so NZAF is recommending people try phone sex, webcam sex, or just masturbate as an alternative to their usual Grindr hookups.

A lot of people have already been doing this. A recent Reddit thread asked guys how they were getting their rocks off amid the pandemic.

“Serious question: Are you guys hooking up on the apps, business as usual, or are you cutting back because of corona?” a Reddit user asked his gay and bi brethren. “I’m horny, but I’m also scared.”

Many responded by saying they were either not hooking up at the moment or having good old-fashioned cybersex.

“People living with HIV or other auto-immune concerns will understandably be worried about their health if they were to contract the virus,” says Myers. “We can help alleviate those fears by changing our sexual practices and staying indoors to keep community transmissions of COVID-19 low.”

Just to be clear, here’s what the CDC says about COVID-19 in people with HIV:

At the present time, we have no specific information about the risk of COVID-19 in people with HIV.

The risk from immune suppression is not known, but with other viral respiratory infections, the risk for people with HIV getting very sick is greatest in:

• People with a low CD4 cell count, and
• People not on HIV treatment (antiretroviral therapy or ART).

People with HIV can also be at increased risk of getting very sick with COVID-19 based on their age and other medical conditions.

‘Fox & Friends’ Host Suggests We Need to Reopen the Economy So Women Can Get Their Nails Done: WATCH

Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt suggested Thursday morning that the U.S. should reopen its economy, despite the growing spread of COVID-19, so that her friends can get their hair and nails done.

“Every day, we’re talking about different topics, because we’re moving in hopefully the direction of getting where China is now, or South Korea is now, and just getting some improvement,” Earhardt said, adding that she lives in New York City, but doesn’t want to return there because it is an epicenter for the virus.

“If you bought clothing before all this happened, if you want to return it, are stores gonna waive that 30-day period where you can get your money back?” Airhardt wondered. “This not a priority, but women have to get their hair done. I saw someone tweet out, you’re going to see what color our real hair is, because our roots are going to grow in. All my friends are saying — this is not a priority, people are dying, and I realize that — that they can’t get their nails done.”

Watch it below.
