Gay Sex Scenes That Made Movie History

Once upon a time, there were no gay and lesbian sections in the video stores, no queer film festivals, no debates over whether or not showing gay men having sex was good for the gay community's image. There were definitely no major theatrical releases of big-budget films in which gay men had sex, and certainly no one ever dreamed a film like that could ever be nominated for an Oscar.

Here, AfterElton.com takes a look back at the most important and groundbreaking gay male sex scenes in films. These are films that for the most part had a major American theatrical release, even if it was of limited scope, with a few groundbreaking foreign, art house and GLBT film festival movies included as well. These criteria are admittedly somewhat subjective, so if you feel we've missed a film that broke new ground with its use of sex between men, let us know.

The Golden Age

In the mid-'80s a kind of sea change hit American theaters. Far from being art house and gay film festival exceptions, foreign films with gay male protagonists and overt depictions of gay male sexuality began filling theaters in cities across the United States, earning rave reviews and doing well at the box office.

This "golden age" had its roots in the post-Code, post-Stonewall days of the '60s, when a number of films with gay male sex scenes were made. And prior to the late '80s, when the AIDS epidemic and the changing political scene sent many gay films back into the film festival closet, we saw a high watermark in terms of gay sex on screen.

Another Country (1984)
The two lovers at the center of this lyrical and ultimately unsettling film are not shown in an explicit sex scene. Instead, their own delicately constructed romance is interwoven with the discovery of a sexual encounter between two other boys at the same British boarding school in the 1930s, and its aftermath.

While Another Country is loosely based on the Guy Burgess spy case that was more accurately recounted in John Schlesinger's 1983 BBC film An Englishman Abroad, it's primarily the love story of Burgess, played by a painfully young Rupert Everett, and James Harcourt, played by a dewy-lipped, even younger Cary Elwes. The film was shot at Cambridge, Oxford and Princess Diana's childhood home, Althorp Hall, because Eton, which Burgess attended, refused permission.

The sexual encounter between the two boys is intercut with Bennett's dreamy glances at Harcourt during a school assembly, and ultimately with one gentle cuddle in the moonlight, during which Bennett presses a kiss into Harcourt's hair. However romantic the relationship is, it doesn't protect them from the heightened scrutiny on homosexual experimentation among the students resulting from the suicide of one of the boys discovered having sex in a gymnasium changing room.

Another Country opened in the United States to critical acclaim and was nominated for a Golden Palm at Cannes in 1984. Most significantly, it marked the beginning of what became a golden age of gay male films, many British, which appeared in the next few years. (1984 also marked the commercial release of Italy's Ernesto, which was made in 1979 and had a film festival run in 1980.)

Why Is White Collar's Matthew Bomer's Sexuality Such a Secret?

White Collar's Matt Bomer Is a Proud Out Gay Man Who Doesn't 'Care' About the Rumors He's a Gay

The USA Network has a certain prescription for its shows: Psych, Monk, Royal Pains, and Burn Notice all are drama-comedies with romance mixed in. They're com-rom-drams? Rom-dramedies? And for the most part, they all have a gay-ish element: On Psych, the completely hetero friendship between Gus and Sean is mixed in with bromance jokes; Burn Notice's Jeffrey Donovan is like a cable network James Bond (and we all know how gay that makes him). And new this season is White Collar, a show that follows the same USA composite: Cute lead character involved solving problems (crimes, as most of USA's shows do). And White Collar also has the gay-ish element: The leading man, Matthew Bomer's Neal Caffrey, is cute and savvy and sexually confident. But we didn't know just how much White Collar went gay. Just two episodes into the series, and we learn its headlining actor is a 'mo.

Earlier this week, the gossip blogger known for making that "faggot" remark claimed Bomer is openly gay, and in a relationship with Simon Halls (pictured, on right), the chief executive of public relations firm PMK/HBH, one of the largest and most powerful PR firms in all the land. (You might have heard their name back when PMK's then-CEO Pat Kingsley, Tom Cruise's one-time publicist, made a sport out of shooting down gay rumors.) The item was picked up by the blog Boy Culture and the kids on gossip forum Data Lounge.

Bomer, whose past credits include standard soap opera stints and a regular gig on Tru Calling, is not being outed by his own camp; the website AfterElton asked Bomer's publicist about the situation, and she replied, "No comment," and "We don't comment on any of our client's personal lives." (That's a lie. PMK regularly shoots down rumors about client Jennifer Aniston's pregnancy, as just one example.)

But then there's the evidence. Namely, photos of Bomer and another gent (not Halls) in major make-out mode. (That's him in the red.)

For his part, Halls is openly gay. He and PMK co-chief Stephen Huvane, who is also gay (and a looker), exercise a level of power that, it would not be an exaggeration to say, can literally make or break someone's Hollywood career. They represent clients like Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Neil Patrick Harris. Stephen's brother, Kevin Huvane, is also in the business: He's the manager agent of folks like — yup! — Jennifer Aniston. There are plentiful stories about Halls and Huvane treating Hollywood as their own fiefdom; more often than not, they are true.

So while it's pretty exciting to see a couple of gay men wielding so much influence in an industry where being gay is still a scarlet letter for actors, it's also a little frightening to see what happens when they try to use that power to shut down reports that impact them personally. Halls's camp wasn't successful in getting the gay celeb blogger to remove the item, but Boy Culture did take down the photos by "kind request." The blog Greg In Hollywood removed the photos, because "the photo is several years old and since the actor is out and in a committed relationship, I’ve decided to take it down. The request was made very politely by Bomer through friends."

But the Internet never deletes anything. The photos of Bomer kissing another fella are regularly available to anyone with a few minutes and interest to find it. And it's ridiculous to think that getting them yanked from a couple gay blogs will delete it from anyone's memory.

We can understand the position Bomer is in: He's been openly gay for much of his career, at least inside the industry, but now he's headlining a nearly-guaranteed-to-be-blockbuster series on USA, in a role that requires (female) viewers to lust after him. We won't jump to conclusions, but if history is any indicator, USA's executives (and those at parent NBC Universal) won't be too thrilled with Bomer's sexuality making headlines.

To which we say: Too late.

Or maybe Halls is just unhappy seeing the Internet flooded with pics of his current beau getting randy with another man?

UPDATE: Sean Akers, Web designer to the gay stars (read: Zachary Quinto), who says he is a friend of Bomer, writes Queerty: "Matt Bomer is an out actor. He is dating Simon Halls. They have kids. And these pics are 9 years old. It is drudging up his past to reveal something that isn't a secret. Posting these pics only serves to hurt Matt's family. He is not hiding, but this kind of post is exactly why so many gay actors do hide. In a world where this shouldn't matter, it still does. As his friend, I am thinking of his kids and his relationship. I am thinking about how people in a community that should respect Matt for being open about his sexuality are being turned against him. He didn't ask you people to take down the pics. Simon Halls and PMK had nothing to do with it. It was me who asked. As Matt's friend. Matt is the kindest person I know. He is genuine and he works very hard on his career and on his relationships. His family is his priority. And the post and the pics sadden me."

It's a nice sentiment, but here's the rub: As a high-profile television actor, Bomer sells his personal life as much as his acting skills. This is the arrangement celebrities agree to when they join the Hollywood elite. Ask George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, and even Jon Gosselin. Or Rosie, Ellen, and Neil. Substantial paydays and the perks of celebrity are joined by prying eyes who want to know about your intimate lives. And especially because Bomer is an out actor, as Akers notes, he should understand his private life carries an asterisk. Our coverage is not the reason actors stay in the closet; they stay in the closet to avoid being labeled gay by the mainstream entertainment press. Us? We want to celebrate famous gay folks (who aren't assholes)! We report on the romances and break-ups of TR Knight and Adam Lambert and Rosie O'Donnell. Welcome to the fold, Bomer. We're happy to add you to the list of out and proud gay men with mainstream acting gigs. Surely you'll be accepting a GLAAD award this time next year then?

Interview magazine's 20 Gorgeous people

One of the great things about magazines (and blogs) is the hauteur of lists.

The last week of any year will find everyone scrambling to put together their list of significant events, people, deaths, and stories. Interview magazine, which was started in 1969 by Andy Warhol and Gerald Melanga has always been dedicated to celebrity. So it is no surprise that that the magazine doesn’t just make the claim for the year, BUT THE LAST DECADE! It would seem so subjective, but that is what an opinion is—so who is the sexiest person the last decade? Looking like a child with some Tyrone Power DNA, it is Zac Efron. Others include Chance Crawford, Ashley Greene, Colin Farrell, Kate Moss, Ryan Phillippe and a bevy of other young beauties. The beauty of lists is that undoubtedly someone will disagree, that said, the Interview list does seem hell-bent on youth, which assuredly is no guarantee of being gorgeous.

Wes (Partner of Danny Roberts)

The Real World: New Orleans’ Danny Roberts(who recently topped our Top 15 Favorite Gay Reality Stars poll) first met his partner Wes in college at the University of Georgia. They were both closeted, so their brief affair was hush-hush.

“Fast forward 10 years and I’m living in New York City and out with friends for my birthday,” Danny tells AfterElton.com. “Guess who approaches me and asks if I remember him? Yep, there’s Wes. My reply was, ‘Of course, you’re the sexy Puerto Rican from college!’ So we started dating casually, but eventually I had to move to Atlanta for a job. The decision was made for Wes to join me so we’ve been living together since. I guess you can call it all fate!”

Danny Roberts (left) and partner Wes

The couple has been together – “in some fashion on another,” Danny says – for two years now.

“We’re both getting used to living in the South,” Danny says. “It’s a real first for Wes and practically new for me after being away for ten years. It’s culture shock at its best! We both have a similar temperament and world-view so it’s a good match. I would say our number one love that we both enjoy more than anything is travel. We soon leave for Central America to see the Mayan ruins, which is a life-long dream of mine.”

Are there kids in the couple’s future? “He’s very anxious to start a family,” Danny says, “but I just want a dog! You have to start somewhere, right?”

Liveblogging "One Life To Live": The mystery of Brian Joseph McElhane

Okay, what the hell is going on here? Cristian and Layla are throwing around a book called How To Tell Your Parents You're Gay by Brian Joseph McElhane (and it looks to play a part in a sitcom-esque classic "misunderstanding" today).

There's just one problem ... Brian Joseph McElhane doesn't exist.

If you Google him, the only thing you'll get is Ed's Daytime Drive-by from yesterday. Which means either TPTB on the show used "Random Author Name Generator" ... or something weird is going on. Hmm...

Anyway, join us for the fun, as Oliver hopefully will come out to Kyle, and refresh for updates.

2:05PM EST: Carlotta picks up "the book" and reads the title out loud, then slowly looks at Cristian. Cris says "mommy, wait". How cute is it that Cris calls her "mommy". Awww!

Cole is about to be shot in the back of the head by the surfer-dude blond cop. Somehow I think he'll be stopped. Rachel has been put on the stand by That Bitch Tea Delgado, and is paying the price. She brings up her hooker/drug addict past. Stay classy, Tea.

2:10PM EST: This stuff with Carlotta is cute, even if the whole "gay misunderstanding" schtick is as old as the hills. She tells Cristian that she loves him even though he's gay, and that she accepts it, and that he doesn't have to hide it anymore. She talks about noticing "the signs", and a bemused Layla pitches in with "because of all the time he spends at the gym?", and Carlotta agrees and says "and all the trouble he has with women". Cris is flummoxed, and tries to get Layla to vouch for his heterosexuality.

2:20PM EST: Has Dorian always been this shrill-sounding? All I hear is "Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!"

The blond surfer-dude cop is shot by John, and as a dazed Cole is led out of his cell, Oliver swoops in to check on the fallen cop.

Layla reluctantly tells Carlotta that "The Book" is for a friend of theirs, and that Cristian is not gay. There's talk of how accepting Carlotta is even with being a church lady, but the only thing I could think was "that other actress quit over this?

2:25PM EST: Tea has completely destroyed Rachel on the stand, and as Rachel runs out of the courtroom, Nora gets in Tea's face and asks how she could do that. Tea yells "I did it for my client!", at which point Matthew points at her and screams "You're fired!" I'm liking this kid more and more.

2:40PM EST: I love that Oliver is focusing on Police Cop business, and he and John head on out together to capture the bad guys.

Layla and Cristian laugh off what happened with his mom, and then talk about giving "The Book" to Oliver. Layla commends him for going into a bookstore and buying "The Book" for him, which is something a lot of straight guys might be too uncomfortable to do. Cristian admits that two guys at the bookstore actually slipped him their phone numbers, prompting Layla to call him "gay catnip".

2:45PM EST: Tea drives Nora over the edge, and Nora delivers a hot slap across her face. The judge holds Nora in contempt, and for good measure holds Tea in contempt as well. Ha!

Oliver and John approach the mayor's office, and John reminds Oliver that they have to play this by "The Book". So, they're going to tell the mayor's parents that he's gay? I'm confused.

2:55PM EST: Matthew is mad at himself and mad at Tea, but since Tea has been put in a cell with Nora, he should probably be worried about the both of them.

Oliver and John bust into the mayor's office with guns blazing, but he's nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, The Russian mobster shows up at Todd's house ready to shut him up ... permanently.

And once again, Layla shoots down Cristian's not-too-subtle desire to be with her. Poor Cristian. But hey, he still has those two numbers!

Gay men and lesbians more likely to seek treatment for mental health and substance abuse..

Gay men and lesbians are around twice as likely as their straight counterparts to seek treatment for mental health issues and drug and alcohol abuse, a study has suggested.

The research from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), surveyed more than 2,000 California residents.

It found that 48.5 per cent of gays, lesbians and bisexuals had accessed treatment in the last year, compared with 22.5 per cent of straight people.

Lesbian and bisexual women were the most likely to seek treatment, which researchers said was unsurprising as women use health services more than men.

Heterosexual men had the lowest rates of treatment.

Researcher Susan Cochran said: "It is well known that health services utilisation is greater among women generally. Here we have shown that minority sexual orientation is also an important consideration. Lesbians and bisexual women appear to be approximately twice as likely as heterosexual women to report having received recent treatment for mental health or substance use disorders."

"The pervasive and historically rooted societal pathologising of homosexuality may contribute to this propensity for treatment by construing homosexuality and issues associated with it as mental health problems," she added.

Gavin Creel Doesn’t Just Break The Fourth Wall (He Smashes It to Bits!)

Ask any actor: stage performances don’t always translate well on television.

But when Gavin Creel, the star of the new revival of the 1967 musical Hair, took the stage to perform the song “Hair” at this year’s Tony Awards, it was instantly clear why his explosive, trippy performance, with its subtle hint of bisexuality, had been nominated for an award.

Before you knew it, Creel and his fellow cast members had broken the fourth wall, jumping off the stage and dancing out into the audience. Creel even got to serenade Anne Hathaway.

“The ‘Hair’ number just rocked,” Creel admits. “I was really proud of the show and how we came off on the Tonys.”

Now Creel, who was also nominated for a Tony for his Broadway debut in 2002’s Thoroughly Modern Millie, is getting more intimate still, with a performance later this month at Joe’s Pub in New York. It’s his first concert since coming out publicly earlier this year, and Creel promises a night of emotional honesty unlike any performance he’s ever given before.

Recently, we chatted with Creel about that breathtaking Tony performance, how his life has changed since coming out as an actor, and his desire to have the first number one single where a guy sings about his love for another guy.

AfterElton.com: So I’ve been listening to your 2006 CD GoodTimeNation and really liking it. I was expecting showtunes, but it’s not. Some of it is very pop. Do you see yourself as a pop star?
Gavin Creel: That would be a dream-come-true. I want to tour and play an auditorium and have it packed with people who know my songs. I don't need to play arenas. I wouldn't turn it down if I got that famous, but I want to be as much of a musician as I am an actor. I want to do both. And be a theater actor. I love the theater. That's where my heart is. I love the way I've been embraced by the musical theater community.

The projects that I've picked, and been able to do, have been really varied in a beautiful way. Going from being in the 20s [in Thoroughly Modern Milly] to Classic Contemporary [in La Cage aux Folles] to being a chimney sweep [in Mary Poppins] to being a hippie [in Hair] is kind of a bizarre group of dudes. All the while, I've always had a desire to sing and compose myself, getting closer and closer to being able to stand in front of an audience and expose who I am through my music.

Gay Celebrity Boyfriends!

Lachlan Fletcher (Partner of Matthew Mitcham)

By now, everyone knows the incredible story of how Australian Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham, 20, struggled with depression in his teens, eventually giving up diving. He eventually rediscovered the sport with the help of his partner of two years, Lachlan Fletcher, who had been unable to travel with Matthew to the Olympics until the couple won a grant from the Johnson & Johnson Athlete Family Support Program.

Mitcham won gay hearts all over the world when he hugged and kissed his partner on camera after winning the gold, giving Fletcher his Olympic bouquet (though American viewers were left in the dark when NBC chose to censor all news of Fletcher’s partner and sexual orientation). Fletcher, who Mitcham calls “the one constant” in his life, is a student in marketing in Sydney.

Terry Miller (Boyfriend of Dan Savage)

Dan Savage, 44, has spent the last decade writing about the intimate details of his relationship with his boyfriend Terry Miller in his popular sex advice column Savage Love, and in memoirs such as The Kid, which chronicles the story of their open adoption, and The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family, which documents their decision to get married. As a result, we know a lot more about Miller, a stay-at-home dad, than we do about many of these other celebrity boyfriends.

In fact, given Savage’s penchant for writing about his own sex life in his column, there’s not a lot we don’t know about Terry.

But for all the words devoted to Terry, the one thing most people don’t know is what he looks like, a situation that AfterElton.com remedies here...

"American Idol": No Boundaries!

"Yes, Kara got paid for writing that song" (All Pics: Getty)

Last night's American Idol started out with Ryan Seacrest declaring it a battle between "Conway and California", "the acoustic rocker versus the glam rocker", and "the guy next door versus the guyliner".

It took every ounce of strength, but somehow I kept watching after that. I was rewarded with two guys trying their best to get through the biggest moment in their lives, and having to deal with the added stress of performing one of the most craptastic songs ever written.

Both guys had to perform three songs; their favorite song of the season, a song picked by Idol creator Simon Fuller and ... a song co-written by judge Kara.

Adam went with Mad World (which for many people was the song that catapulted him into stardom), the Simon Fuller pick A Change is Gonna Come (and brought the house down), and ... the Kara song.

Kris did Ain't No Sunshine, the Simon Fuller pick What's Going On? (and his performance was a little too peppy for me considering it's a serious protest song), and ... the Kara song.

Okay ... that Kara song. Is it just me, or did both guys look like it was painful for them to have to sing it? It seemed to fit Kris's style more than Adam, though.

So what did you think? How did the guys do last night, and who do you think will pull it out tonight? While you're contemplating, enjoy this backstage video, and these pics ... especially the last one of Carrie Underwood performing Home Sweet Home ... because when I think of Motley Crue, she's the first image that comes to mind.

Porn is my longest relationship

Porn is my longest relationship

SEX PLAY / Happiness is a life spent around cameras

My relationship with porn started when I was 10 years old. My oldest brother had been shacking up with a girl named Mary and things didn't work out, so he moved back into the basement of the family farm complex. With him came a VCR and a massive collection of straight porn.

It was the summer so I had the entire day to myself to watch porn. I was supposed to be weeding the garden, but I would sneak to the basement as soon as the rest of the family headed to the back fields and start watching smut. When I heard the sound of my brother's car approaching I'd rush back to my green pepper patch, never getting caught. I remember being introduced to Ron Jeremy and finding his massive schlong interesting, and I remember a series featuring a dirty-talking ceramic rat. The rat was positioned on the headboard of the star's bed, and it would talk to him before and after an encounter, but the film was so low budget you could tell that the rat was being voiced by the cameraman.

I was too young to even jerk off, but for some reason I found porn compelling and became obsessed. I got turned on watching the straight guys fuck the chicks, and would fast-forward through the scenes with ugly male models. My brother only lived in the basement for the summer, and when he moved out, he took the porn collection with him.

David Beckham subjected to homophobic abuse during England match

An international match between Spain and England was marred by homophobic chanting, according to the Gay Football Supporters Network.

In the 78th minute of Wednesday's match in Seville the crowd started chanting "Beckham maricón" which means "Beckham faggot."

England's black players have previously been targeted by racist Spanish fans during previous internationals.

The incident has been reported to FIFA and the English FA by GFSN.

The match can be found by clicking here. You can hear the chants from 95.45 to 96.30 (video timing) (78:30 match time).

In England indecent or racist chanting is an offence under the Football Offences Act 1991 and carries a fine of up to £1,000 and a football banning order.

GFSN took part in the first conference of the European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation on tackling
homophobia in football earlier this week.

"Homophobia is still rife in football and it as great to see so many different groups committed to doing something about it," said Chris Basiurski, campaigns officer for the GFSN.

"It became obvious very quickly the UK has progressed further on this issue than the rest of Europe, mainly due to the cooperation of the English FA and we look forward to working with the other European gay football groups in the coming years.

"This week's homophobic abuse of David Beckham at the Spain v England international highlights the need for action and in the long term we hope to show that such behaviour is not acceptable."

Голландских геев избавили от девичьей фамилии

Голландские власти облегчили для геев процедуру регистрации брака, заменив в официальных документах термин "девичья фамилия" словами "фамилия, данная при рождении" (geboortenaam), сообщает Pinknews.

Голландский союз языка считает, что эта мера поможет избежать гей-парам неловкостей и затруднений во время заключения брака.

Напомним, что в 2001 году Нидерланды стали первой страной в мире, узаконившей однополые браки. Согласно данным недавнего исследования агентства Eurobarometer, 82 процента голландцев являются сторонниками гей-браков. Среди стран всего Европейского Союза это самый большой процент поддержки.

Edward Topol: Hollywood made the world more tolerable towards homosexuals and blacks

Writer Edward Topol, who recently celebrated his 70th birthday, thinks that Hollywood played a tremendous part in fostering acceptance. He dismantles the myth of the American "dream factory" that promotes movies full of sex and violence.

"Cinema gradually moved the society towards acceptance of race equality. Hollywood is the most liberal place in America and the forefront of the struggle for black and gay rights as well as the rights of other groups that are strangely called minorities. It played a tremendous role in making society more tolerable", - said Edward Topol in his interview to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" ("The Russian Newspaper") promoting "Standing on the Edge". This is the first movie made by the playwright and novelist Topolev who also assumed the roles of the producer and the co-director in the project.

Гомосексуалы интересуются в Интернете всем, кроме спорта

Компания Harris Interactive опубликовала результаты опроса, проведенного в США среди гетеросексуалов и гомосексуалов. Как оказалось, геи и лесбиянки намного активней действуют в блогосфере и, в целом, уделяют больше внимания новым информационным технологиям. Об этом сообщает "Рокфеллер" со ссылкой на Washington ProFile.

Так, в частности, блоги постоянно читает 51% геев и лесбиянок и 36% гетеросексуалов. При этом геи демонстрируют повышенный, по сравнению с гетеросекуалами, интерес к блогам всех тематических направлений, за одним исключением - они заметно меньше интересуются дневниками, авторы которых пишут на спортивную тему. Более того, геи намного терпимей относятся и к рекламе, которая появляется в блогах.

Геи проявляют больший интерес и к иным видам онлайн-деятельности. Например, они чаще пользуются интернет-мессенджерами, больше интересуются социальными, втрое чаще гетеросексуалов ведут свой собственный блог, в четыре раза чаще посещают сайты знакомств и пр. Геи даже чаще пользуются электронной почтой и отправляют больше электронных писем.

Вопрос об ориентации Рики Мартина встал ребром

Слухи о нетрадиционных предпочтениях певца в любви ходили давно, но явного подтверждения тому, что артист относится к сексуальным меньшинствам, не было. Новую волну разговоров об ориентации Рики поднял известный голливудский стилист.

И к его мнению отнеслись с большим интересом и вниманием, так как все-таки не последний человек подкидывает интересную информацию. Оле Хенриксен - владелец собственной клиники эстетической медицины, в которую захаживают многие знаменитости.

Недавно в интервью одному шведскому таблоиду стилист фактически признал, что его клиент, Рики Мартин, является геем. Причем, о певце речь зашла совсем случайно. Хенриксен не скрывает, что сам он тоже гей.

Так вот на вопрос, с кем бы он хотел провести вечер, Оле ответил: «Я бы выбрал Стига Тофтинга, бывшего датского футболиста, но поскольку он не гей, я выбираю своего клиента Рики Мартина».

При этом стилист уточнил, что сейчас Мартин не скрывает тот факт, что у него нетрадиционная сексуальная ориентация. Не известно, правда, от кого именно Рики не скрывает?

Может, перед своими близкими друзьями он и исповедался, как на духу. Но вот с широкой общественностью он уж точно не делился такими откровениями.

Да и в ночных заведениях, предназначенных для досуга гомосексуалистов, вроде бы никогда замечен не был. Ну, и уж совершенно точно ни один папарацци до сих пор не застукал Рики в компании какого-нибудь мускулистого милашки. Ради справедливости стоит отметить, что и сексуальными похождениями с красотками певец тоже не прославился.

Так что какую личную жизнь вообще ведет Мартин, тайна, покрытая мраком. До последнего времени Мартин предпочитал вообще обходить скользкую тему своих сексуальных предпочтений стороной – не подтверждая и не опровергая. Интересно, что певец скажет теперь?

Dutch to legalise gay sex in public park

Dutch council officials will permit gay sex in public areas but fine dog owners who let their pets off the leash in Amsterdam’s Vondelpark.Condoms must always be cleared away, it must never take place in the neighbourhood of children’s playgrounds and the sex must be restricted to the evening and night-tim.

The new park rules have the blessing of the Dutch police, who have urged all Dutch parks to follow Amsterdam’s lead.
