Nico Tortorella sometimes tops and sometimes bottoms “depending on the day”

Actor Daniel Newman recently shared with the world that he’s a top because he’s “too lazy to bottom,” but that he would consider doing it “if I got married” or the guy was strong enough to pin him down.

“I’m a TOP. I’m too lazy to bottom!” Newman announced to his 944K followers. “Lol. Maybe if I got married. But I’m also always super attracted to Tops so I guess whoever is strong enough and can pin down the other wins that night.”

Now, actor/poet Nico Tortorella is letting everyone know that they may present as a top, but really they’re vers, “depending on the day.”

On their Instagram story, Tortorella, who came out as gender fluid in 2018, shared an illustration that claimed to identify a person’s preferred sexual position based on they way they sit.

While Tortorella was sitting like a top at the time, they clarified: “But more here. Depending on the day y’all,” with an arrow pointing to the “vers” image.

Now that that’s been settled, scroll down for more pics from Tortorella’s Instagram page…

Who Wore It Better? RuPaul, or a Fracking Rig? — Twitter’s Latest Meme is a Drag and a Gas

Who Wore It Better? RuPaul, or a Fracking Rig? — Twitter’s Latest Meme is a Drag and a Gas

Last month we reported that RuPaul gave an interview to NPR’s Terry Gross in which the drag superstar was asked about the 60-acre ranch in Wyoming and South Dakota he owns with his husband Georges LeBar.

Asked what he was doing with all that acreage and if he is raising horses or cattle, RuPaul responded: “Well, a modern ranch, 21st century ranch, is really land management. It is – you lease the mineral rights to oil companies. And you sell water to oil companies. And then you lease the grazing rights to different ranchers. So it’s land management. Yeah.”

The admission prompted outrage on social media, and now it has inspired a new meme, started by MEL magazine staff writer Joseph Longo, which features Ru in various outfits paired with photos of fracking rigs in matching ensembles. Check ’em all out below.

NEW YORK CITY CANCELS IN-PERSON PRIDE EVENTS: Said HRC President Alphonso David (@AlphonsoDavid): “In many places around the country, Pride parades and festivals offer LGBTQ people a chance to gather with their community and feel free to fully express themselves. For this reason, it is disappointing — but ultimately, appropriate — to see many of these events canceled. As we see our way through the COVID-19 crisis, we cannot be too careful. We know that LGBTQ people are at a greater risk of both the health and economic impacts of COVID-19, so we as a community must do all we can to stay safe and healthy.” More from LGBTQ Nation, them and CBS New York.

Challenge stereotypes, showcase diversity and celebrate the enduring spirit of women-loving women around the world—with those goals in mind DIVA Media Group launched the first ever Lesbian Visibility Week April 20-26.
 
The UK-based publishers of DIVA magazine created a week of digital events, including panel sessions and seminars. GLAAD is a proud supporter, along with companies like GlaxoSmithKline, P&G and Kantar.
 
“Growing up, it was so rare for me to see lesbian women who were successful, accepted, and living out and proud,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Today, visibility of lesbian women, both transgender and cisgender, still remains strikingly low. During this time of global strife and uncertainty, it’s so important to celebrate the beautiful diversity of the LGBTQ community, and to applaud all lesbian women who inspire young women to be proud of themselves and rise up together as women.”
 
A new marketing campaign, #ThisIsMe, accompanies the launch, which features the Visible Lesbian 100 List celebrating lesbians nominated by the public and published in DIVA magazine. Among the leaders in the Visible Lesbian 100 List are GLAAD’s board chair Pamela Stewart and GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis.
 
The week launched with a release of the findings of a study of 1423 LGBTQI women who were asked about their experiences coming out, in LGBTQI spaces, and with gender identity, the workplace and safety.
 
“I am delighted that DIVA Media Group has launched the inaugural Lesbian Visibility Week,” said Linda Riley, publisher of DIVA Magazine. “I hope that this week becomes an integral part of the LGBTQI calendar going forward as it is so important that lesbians remain a visible part of the LGBTQI community and receive the recognition and celebration we deserve.”
 
GLAAD’s Darra Gordon and Monica Trasandes are thrilled to be among the many women contributing short video messages as part of the week’s events. You can also be part of the campaign by choosing three words that describe you and sharing it on social media with the hashtags #ThisIsMe and #LesbianVisibilityWeek.

Actor J. August Richards comes out as gay

A post shared by J. August Richards (@jaugustrichards) on

Actor J. August Richards, 46, has revealed that he is gay via an Instagram live video. Richards starred in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel, and more recently played the role of Mike Peterson in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is currently appearing in the new NBC show, Council of Dads. He plays Dr. Oliver Prost, who is married to another man. The couple have a daughter.

In an interview with co-star Sarah Wayne Callies, Richards talks about the reasons why he decided to discuss his sexuality, explaining he thought it important to come out to his fellow cast members before taking on the role.

“I knew that I could not portray this gay man honestly without letting you all know that I am a gay man myself.”

A post shared by J. August Richards (@jaugustrichards) on

Callies says Richard’s current role is a first for network TV: A married, professional, black gay couple raising a child. She asks him if he felt any pressure or responsibility over his portrayal.

Richards replies that he did, but that’s one of the reasons he got into acting.

“If I think about why I even got involved in this industry, it was really to combat oppression.

“I knew how I was affected by the people of color I saw on television, or that I didn’t see on television, so this being a married, gay man, with a family… on television I don’t take anything I do lightly, and you have an opportunity to put an image into millions of homes. And I wanted that image to be honest and I wanted to be correct.

“So honestly, it required me to show up fully in a way that I don’t always when I’m working.

“I knew that I could not portray this gay man honestly without letting you all know that I am a gay man myself. I’ve never done that with the people that I’ve worked with.

“So that responsibility carried me to do that because I knew how important it is to other people out there like me, who would need to see that role model, so I took that responsibility very seriously.”

Callies posted a comment beneath the video saying: “Sharing this moment with you was one of the most meaningful things in my life. Love you, friend.”

Many others also posted messages of support.

“I’ve been a fan of yours for literally 20 years,” said one follower. “You’ll always be Gunn [from Angel] to me because that’s who I grew up with and I still revisit the show every single year. You are an inspiration. Gunn fought for the downtrodden, the people that couldn’t fight for themselves, and I truly believe what you’ve done here is provided a voice for those who don’t have one.”

J. August Richards was born in Washington, D.C., and raised in the Maryland suburb of Bladensburg. Besides his leading role in Angel (from 2000-2004) and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (2013-2018), he has appeared in numerous other TV shows, including Conviction, Raising the Bar, Grey’s Anatomy, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, and Kevin (Probably) Saves the World.

In an Instagram message posted last month, Richards revealed that before landing his current role, he almost quit his career.

“The day I auditioned for #CouncilOfDads was the day I almost quit acting. I probably wouldn’t have gone through with it but as I mounted the stairs to enter Building 9128 on the Universal lot, I was struck with panic — the kind of debilitating panic that means only one thing: you’re gonna blow it!

“As I entered the building, I began plotting my escape: ‘I’ll sell my house and teach. I love teaching and my mother was a teacher so I’ll do that!’ Because after 25 years, you would think it’d get easier and I just couldn’t imagine doing this to myself any longer.

“I got up to the waiting room and fortunately there were a few people in front of me so I began talking myself down… ‘OK. This script is about one thing — LOVE. And all you have to do is love the person you’re reading with. And if you can just do that, it won’t matter what comes out of your mouth… They will feel it’.”

He ended by saying, “With everything going on in the world right now, if I didn’t believe that the message of the show had tremendous relevance and value to us all right now, I would just keep quiet and let the chips fall where they may. But the thing that calmed my anxiety and fear and got me through that first audition, is what I hope you feel when you watch the show tonight… LOVE!”
