Jodie Foster gets described as gay or a lesbian in public media since her famous "coming out" speech -- in which she didn't use such words... The Internet tells me it's been about a decade since Jodie Foster's so-called coming out speech. It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the piece linked above, but I often have done substantial more research than gets included in anything I write and my recollection is that some of what I read indicated that the LGBTQ community had been giving her a hard time for YEARS before she delicately admitted something like "My co-parent is this lovely person right here (who looks like a woman and has a female name)." If you are LGBTQ, why would you do that? YOU want rights and respect for YOU in the form of "The people of planet Earth need to RESPECT me regardless of my sexual orientation or gender identity!" AND your solution is to be openly disrespectful and hostile to a suspected member of the LGBTQ community?...

I just randomly tripped across this clip of some gal wanting to make skinny little brows and she's shaving off the parts she doesn't want. If you are trans or just someone with heavy brows who doesn't like them, I caution you that plucking can be permanent hair removal though it's not consistent. I had no idea brow razors existed or shaving brows was a thing. It doesn't really do a before and after, but she does prep on her brows. I have absolutely no idea if what she's doing is a best practice. I recommend you do a little looking around and try to find more information. I'm a hairy broad and I spent a lot of years working on hair removal stuff and if you are certain you want it gone for good , plucking, waxing and myriad other methods that rip it out from the root can help permanently reduce hair growth, though it may never be as perfectly clean and hairless as you might be hoping for. But I strongly suggest you be cautious and conservative about brow remo...

More AI schlock: James Haven, the 53-year-old actor and older brother of Angelina Jolie, publicly came out as gay on August 6, 2026. He shared his truth during a live video broadcast alongside his ex-wife, Romi Imbelli, on her Substack platform.  The announcement comes following the couple's separation and the subsequent annulment of their brief marriage.  Yahoo  +1 Details of the Announcement The Livestream: Haven joined his ex-wife, Romi Imbelli, for a live broadcast where he openly stated, "I'm gay," a declaration that was met with enthusiastic support and cheers from Imbelli.  Personal Statement & Letter: In a letter shared during the stream, Haven reflected on his childhood, noting he was "absolutely obsessed with the Disney princesses" and would sneak glitter and mascara onto his face. He explained that he lacked the language to express his feelings at the time and spent years dimming his light to fit in with other boys.  A New Chapter: Haven empha...

I just randomly tripped across this scene from Rosanne. I have swiss cheese for brains and I'm mixing up Rosanne Barr with someone else and misremembered her as being gay, so I was expecting something better. The show is about an uncouth working class family and it's not really my cup of tea, but it's not really a homophobic scene either.  I will say that I personally intensely dislike the practice of trying to fix people up with a date. That's just not something I would do. I think the world would be a better place if parents would stop trying to tell kids from an early age that they will grow up and fall in love with a member of the opposite sex and get married. Like just let your kids figure out their sexuality themselves. You probably don't have your own sexuality figured out that well. So butt out. So I made a note of the clip because I write about LGBTQ stuff and figured someday I might do something with it, and then I tripped across a longer clip from what i...

Below is an AI summary. I typically write my own posts but I tripped across this news and wanted to post it "hot off the presses" as quickly as possible: Alan Turing wrote a newly transcribed autobiographical story about homosexuality Alan Turing's unpublished, semi-autobiographical short story titled "Pryce's Buoy" has been fully transcribed and analyzed for the first time.  A literary analysis by Professor Sarah Dillon from the University of Cambridge was published in The Review of English Studies. The text provides a rare, direct look at how the legendary World War II codebreaker and computer scientist viewed his own homosexuality.  The Plot: The six-page handwritten manuscript serves as an "autofictional" retelling of the late-1951 sexual encounter in Manchester that ultimately led to Turing’s 1952 arrest for "gross indecency".  The Characters: Turing casts himself as "Alec Pryce," a celebrated scientist who has just complet...

Einstein Riding a Llama   is intended to be an inclusive resource for people negatively impacted by sex crimes. It kind of grows out of a couple of super negative experiences I had because I'm a female survivor of sexual abuse who is willing to talk to anyone -- even men -- about this issue. One of those incidents was covered on this site: Sadly . Another was written about a bit elsewhere: Stupid is as Stupid Does . There's actually two posts with the exact same name on that second site, so if you don't use the direct link and you search the site instead, you may get a little confused. So it kind of grows out of my observation that there's a dearth of resources for men in specific but it also grows out of that unstated emotional reaction described in the second piece of "Well, if women can't talk to men about this, where does that leave your trans buddies, Mr. So-called Trans Ally, hmmmmmm?" So I'm trying to make it as ungendered as I can. Thus, it...
