why ship a gay man and a straight man together ?

Hi Anon. Thanks for the ask and sorry for the delay in responding! I hope you weren’t holding your breath while waiting for this reply.

The simple reply to your question would be: I don’t know to what you are referring, since I don’t ship any gay men with any straight men.

I’ll be kind to you this time, anon. I’ll play along and indulge you with a further exploration on this topic. All I ask in return is for you to be kind to me too and indulge me by hearing what I say.

Let me take a wild guess to whom you are referring with your ask: Probably those two guys that this blog is about?

You said a gay man and a straight man though. I have a bit of an issue with these labels.

Yes, both of them have publicly expressed how they identify, and those public statements align with your wording. But, however much we want to see the Western world as being a good and just place where everyone can freely be and express who they truly are without fear or consequences, we must accept there are flaws in the system. We may not live under an oppressive regimes, but our freedoms are governed by money, for one. Thus, we must accept there are people who cannot express being anything except straight for the fear of severe financial impacts. Add to that, the negative social and emotional consequences too, which are at least equally complex issues to resolve. There are reasons for someone who is queer not to reveal this of themselves. And so, I take words of someone identifying as straight with more than a grain of salt, especially if they work in entertainment.

I don’t claim to know what would be the correct label for the man who you prefer to see as being straight. I’m only saying that he is most likely queer. Why? Because of the gazillion plot holes in the straight-and-in-special-togetherness narrative — plot holes that make much more sense when you are not hellbent on seeing him only as being straight.

Another thing that I have a slight issue with is your wording of shipping. At this conjunction of my life, I actually don’t ship anyone with anyone, regardless of gender or sexuality. I’m not sure that I ever did with this pairing, whether or not I have ever used the word myself. Shipping implies that I want those two individuals to be together. I don’t want them to be together, no more than I want them to be apart. It’s not a matter of want for me, but a matter of belief. I believe them to be together.

Looking at my blog, what you perhaps interpret as shipping is admiration. I admire love as I admire beauty or art. Love is truly a thing of joy and beauty, anon, when it’s real and true. Too often, we are sold false love, because some people think it’s what sells — and perhaps in some cases it sadly does sell. The glimpses of moments that I have seen between those two men are beautiful, and they appear much more real than anything we have been sold. Even if you don’t agree with that, I hope you agree with at least this: Love is beautiful, whether it is between two people of opposite sexes, two people of same sex or with people who are non-binary etc. Love is love is love. I hope you agree so that if ever that man who you wish to be straight comes publicly out as anything else, you’ll still stand by him, because you are admiring him as an individual and for who he is rather than his sexuality or who you wish him to be with. I know I support him either way.

I won’t bore you with more words, anon, but I had fun chatting with you. Let’s do this again some day. 😘

MANILA – Hollywood actor Darren Criss has weighed in on the new anti-terrorism bill in the Philippines which the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte is currently pushing to become a law.

On Wednesday, Criss used his platform on Twitter in declaring that with the proposed measure, “injustice continues to thrive off the slippery rhetoric of peace maintenance… aka preying on the fears of the voting majority.”

Criss’ tweet came with a link that goes directly to a donation drive related to the measure. It calls for the scrapping of the terror bill and it contains the hashtags #JunkTerrorBill, #MassTestingNowPH and #OustDuterte, among others.

The Filipino-American actor also reposted another netizen’s art cards sharing more information about the new bill and why many are against it.

“’Anti-Terrorism’ may sound promising but that title does not include the idea that it maximizes criminality for ANYONE who shows any kind of civil opposition – without a warrant, not to mention enforces totalitarian surveillance to uphold said insanity. I’d be in jail by now,” he said.

Duterte has certified as urgent the bill that would authorize the government to wiretap suspects, arrest them without warrants and hold them without charge for 14 days, among others provisions.

Opponents of the bill fear it could be used to suppress free speech and harass those who challenge Duterte, who commands a legislative majority and influence within the judiciary and state institutions.

“We think this is against the constitution,” said human rights lawyer Jose Manuel Diokno. “Given the broader definition of terrorism, the administration’s critics could be tagged as suspected terrorists.”

Opposition lawmaker Edcel Lagman criticized Duterte for prioritizing the passage of a bill he described as “draconian” over an economic stimulus package pending congressional approval, which aims to help mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Duterte was “tightening the noose on suspected terrorists at the expense of the protection of human rights and civil liberties,” said Lagman, who is also a human rights lawyer.

Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque dismissed the criticism and said elements of the bill were patterned on those used in countries that had dealt effectively with extremism.

He said the 5-month takeover in 2017 of the southern city of Marawi by militants loyal to Islamic State showed the extent of extremist influence in the country.

“Let us not forget, the remains of Marawi is still there,” Roque said.

Prior to his tweets about the anti-terrorism bill, Criss, whose mother is a Filipino, was protesting the racial inequality in the United States using the same social media platform.

I’m only just seeing this today. I also have other anons I haven’t responded too. This week has been overwhelming for so many reasons.

I do wonder about why he’s logged off his official twitter. Maybe he has been too vocal recently and been told to rein it in a little.

It’s long been known that the freepav account was D and possibly C too. However right now my theory is he’s been told to pipe down and the free/pav tweet may have been a small act of rebellion.

That says it all. Remember the comment made regarding silencing Pav. B/laine says it in original song.

Pavarotti’s voice was silenced by death, and I don’t want to silence anyone else’s voices in this group.I think Pavarotti would roll over in his tiny, tiny, little grave.

I think D made his point clearly with this. I think he’s silenced a lot.

Took long enough and I still don’t know the source of one of these. But now that I saw it on tw/itter, here’s what’s been talked about.

Interesting. I’m basically this emoji today 🤯. I’d just like to say now that people are paying attention to things that are wrong in this world, take that energy you have to tell everyone off and use it to understand and *really* pay attention.

And maybe that's why she hangs onto D too as much as she does. Her fake relationship with him is the gilded frame of her life. Her career is largely an illusion, as she hasn't consistently worked hard to take it places. Thus, she needs to overcompensate with the relationship side. Too bad that it's an illusion too, as he is not here to have or to keep.

They added another IKEA shelf with I guess D’s stuff and degrees.

PR can manipulate anything, folks. Pictures, locations, timelines, quotes, SM, print articles, relationships, marriages, pregnancies. Anything. They can rewrite your entire narrative so that it's better, happier, more socially acceptable for public consumption. In the world of Holly/wood and celebrity, things are never what they seem.
