Freshly Out Colton Haynes Is Relishing In His Newfound Gayness

Colton Haynes is glowing, ya’ll.

Last week, the 27-year-old actor spoke to EW, confirming what everyone already knew to be true: That he is not the least bit heterosexual.

“I think in due time, everyone has to make those decisions when they’re ready, and I wasn’t yet,” he explained when asked why he had waited so long to come out publicly. “But I felt like I was letting people down by not coming forward.”

He continued: “People want you to be that GQ image that you put out, but people don’t realize what it’s like to act 24 hours a day. I’d go home and I was still acting. People who are so judgmental about those who are gay or different don’t realize that acting 24 hours a day is the most exhausting thing in the world.”

Now that the cat’s officially out of the bag, Haynes seems to be flourishing. The other day, he posted a message on Instagram thanking his fans for the “unbelievable amount of support & love you’ve been sending my way.”

He concluded the post with an inspirational quote: “There once was a man who was afraid of his shadow…he met it…now he glows in the dark.”

Man Discovers His Male Lover Is Engaged… To A Woman! Now What?!

What do you do when you discover the guy you’ve been messing around with is engaged… to a woman… and he has two young children? That’s what one 29-year-old U.K. man wants to know.

“I met a cute gay man online but have just found out he’s due to get married next month–to a woman,” he explains to advice columnist Deidre.

The man says the two met online and “soon bared our all on the webcam.”

“We arranged to meet up but I checked him on Facebook beforehand,” he says. “I was shocked to see he is engaged to a woman and has two little kids.”

But the plot thickens.

The man continues: “Not only that but he’s friends with an old pal of mine. I spoke to her and she said his fiancée was thrilled to be tying the knot at last.”

“My friend begged me not to speak to her because she had just bought a house with her fella,” the man explains. “She said I should talk to the guy, so I did, but he didn’t seem bothered. Should I tell his fiancé?”

Deidre breaks the situation down pretty quickly.

“He is clearly leading a double life and that rarely ends well,” she says in her response. “But blowing his cover won’t make it OK.”

She continues: “Talk to him, though. Say you hope he’s not risking his fiancé’s sexual health and that if he’s hurting her then he’ll also be hurting his kids.”

“Let’s hope that that pricks his conscience,” she concludes.

What do you think? Should this man confront his paramour about the double life he is leading, or should he alert the fiancé? Sound off in the comments section below.

Here’s the Trailer for the Daniel Radcliffe Farting Corpse Bromance Movie – WATCH

A new trailer for Swiss Army Man, often described as the ‘Daniel Radcliffe farting corpse movie’, has just been released giving a look at what set so many tongues a wagging at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The movie follows Paul Dano who discovers a corpse floating in the ocean just as he’s about to commit suicide. The corpse (Radcliffe) possesses some sort of magical powers of reanimation and, as it turns out, his boner acts as a compass that can help guide Dano home.

Slash Film writes: 

Radcliffe’s farting corpse made headlines at Sundance, turning this under-the-radar feature from first-time directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (of Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What” video) into one of the most talked-about movies at the fest. Not all of the responses were positive — the film reportedly saw plenty of walkouts in its world premiere screening — but it won over plenty of fans, too, myself included.

Watch the possibly work-unfriendly trailer, below.

And check out the poster art, below.

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson Praises ‘Bathroom Bills’: ‘We’re Losing Our Soul’ to Trans Rights – VIDEO

Duck Dynasty head honcho Phil Robertson has teamed up with Citizens United to attack – and make money from – anti-trans “bathroom laws” in North Carolina and other states.

Citizens United is best known for its part in a Supreme Court ruling which held that the government could not restrict political expenditures by nonprofit corporations.

In an email sent to supporters last weekend, Robertson wrote that “the Judeo-Christian values that led America to greatness are under full assault by the mob mentality of political correctness, and we’re slowly losing our soul.”

“Men,” Robertson continued, “should use the men’s bathroom and women should use the women’s bathroom. Just because a man may ‘feel’ like a woman doesn’t mean he should be able to share a bathroom with my daughter, or yours. That used to be called common sense. Now it’s called bigoted.”

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the email includes a link to StandTallWithPhil.org, which asks for donations to Citizen United’s Speak Freely effort in conjunction with Robertson.

Back in February, Robertson called same-sex marriage “evil, wicked, sinful” at a Ted Cruz rally in Iowa.

Watch Robertson at the Cruz rally below.

Nyle DiMarco Just Made History in Dancing with the Stars’ First Same-Sex Dance – WATCH

Sexually fluid America’s Next Top Model winner and current Dancing with the Stars contestant Nyle DiMarco made history Monday night by being the first male star to be part of a same-sex dance on the show.

The dance took place as part of the Judge’s Team-Up Challenge in which each two stars are paired together and coached by one of the show’s three judges. DiMarco and his partner Peta Murgatroyd were pared with actress Jodie Sweetin and her partner Keo Motsepe to work with Judge Bruno Tonioli.

And what began as a classic dance to the “Habanera” by Georges Bizet developed into a sensual display of same-sex affection on the dance floor.

Said DiMarco of the performance, “This is a Dancing With The Stars first, having same-sex dancing.”

Asked what it was like to be lifted (as opposed to the one doing the lifting), DiMarco said, “Well, it’s a different experience. Usually I’m lifting Peta but… should it only be for a woman? Maybe Peeta can lift me at some stage?”

On Monday night’s show, DiMarco also wowed audiences with a paso doble that included a section sans music to convey to the hearing audience what it’s like for him to dance without music. That dance left judge Carrie Anna Inaba in tears.

Watch the performance, below.
