Love and Obstacles

Cynthia Nixon and family

October 4, 2010

This past weekend, the New Yorker held its annual festival, which -- as always -- includes a multitude of speakers and panels discussing a variety of topics. Top players in all professions were represented, including Stephen King, Malcolm Gladwell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Regina Spektor -- all chatting about themselves and their areas of expertise. Our favorite, though, would have to have been Cynthia Nixon on the panel discussion "Love and Obstacles: The Case for Gay Marriage."

Ms. Nixon, who is most known for her role has Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, and now is engaged to education activist Christine Marinoni, stole our hearts with her rather calm, well made argument. Not only does she make a good case, she makes an example of how to make said point.

“Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. And that is all we want to do. We have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges, but the same responsibilities as straight people.”

But why choose to have a baby and live like they are

Cats in the Cradle!

A child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I know people in Brooklyn and the LES and live near the Achs and the Gyllenhaals-Saasgards. Sees Jake at both places everytime he is in NY and there are is no kid. The families are very open, not secretive and are involved in the community and local politics.

If he was hiding a 3 year old, believe me it would be no secret.

He comes and goes and is freinds with too many people for this to be a secret and he doesn't behave like a man with a secret baby, just the opposite.

It bothers me when people who have children lecture to those who don't. Parenthood is great but it is not for everybody. If you make the choice to have a child don't go whinning saying Ohhhhhh you just don't know what it is like to be a parent or you just don't know that bond. Heard that expression many times. Gave up taking off a lot of time around Christmas to those who have kids. Parents have different responibilites but they are not anymore important than the responibilities of those who do not.

It's hard to say, neither of them seem mature enough to raise a family, but then again, they wouldn't be the first to have kids under those circumstances, happens all the time.

Usually, there's one parent home with the kids in the military, it's rare that both parents would be in the military. Of course, a single people can and do raise children. The weekend warrior husband/wives are very rare. To bond with a child, you need to be in the same vacinity as they are (preferably in the same room) for a good amount of time.

That said, I can't rule out the possibility that they are still a couple and that there's a child. The bracelet Jake had on makes me wonder. But it is pretty far-fetched.

Somehow I doubt it. Betcha they stay exclusively to themselves.

Anonymous said...

Pretty decent support system maybe even enough to help Jake raise a child. Thanks for that information. You have now convinced me it is possible that BT does exist.

this is complete bullshit. Why would all of those people help a grown man hide a baby? If he was not proud to be a father and all of the attention that comes with it, including Tabs, gossip all. If he was not ready for such a big committment and wanted to stay hidden with a partner, there should be no reason to take on such a large life changing committment. Either he's ready or not, All of those situations are just people (family memebers) enableing him and his/thier bullshit. He's a grown man, not a child. There is no BT.
Someone here just can't let go of the silly BT fanfic. It's obserd.
Some of the BT fans just need to come to reality and stop hoping and wishin. Some are just obsessed with the idea.

Anonymous said...

To have extended family, etc. take care of a child constantly is not a support system, it's the total raising of the child. You could understand that with a 17 year old teen mother, but not a couple of grown men. If they'd go to all the trouble of having a child together, one or both would take time off to raise him/her, especially since they are independently wealthy.

I see the Jaustinites have invaded this blog. What's the matter? Afraid to post your shit their in case someone sees it and thinks you are fucking nuts,LOL!! Too late for that.

And you my=ust think very little of them to think they would be so selfish and immature to have a kid and hide it in an attic while they run around the globe.

You mean the silly brandz braclet?
Ramona? Does that ring a bell? Doesn't he stay with maggie and Co whike in NY? Even whrn she is away filming? I would think he has frre reign of the place. Mom lives in the same house too. Those stupid braclets are probobly all over the place and I'm sre his niece gave himmore than one along with giving one to her parents and Nana.

I have a question, why is it so important that you hold on to this fanfic? Is it because you don't want to know that Ted is a liar or is it your version of what gay men are like, a relationship that mirrors a straight relationship.

Anonymous said...

Yes, some of us realize it could be Ramona's bracelet that her uncle is wearing, and it's very nice.

9:45 Um, no they don't. One of his Aunt's used to be the head of a Jewish Women's political group, I forgot the official name and I don't know if it still exisits but that's how my freinds first realized that was his Aunt (her last name was Achs but she spoke about her sister, brother in law and niece and nephew)

Everyone knows in those areas that Jake and Maggie are related to the Achs.

As I said they are not shrinking violets and are very active in their communities, it was Maggie and Peter that first got involved with the Edible Schoolyard project along with a few of their cousins.

The few that have run into Jake say that he is cool, but a little bit dorky but quite and very much at ease and peace there, no one bothers him at all.

Anonymous said...

If BT exists I think it lives in LA, or between the LA to SF area, with a maternal figure who is raising it and Jake sees him/stays there as often as he can. No different from the millions of men who don't have sole custody of their kids and get them two weekends a month. They can't help it and they probably take their kids out in public, however maybe Jake/Austin have the mentality that as long as BT is with a parent/maternal figure all the time and they visit as much as they can, everything will be okay.

Re BT: I'm keeping my options open on whether BT exists because frankly, truth is stranger than fiction. All people, especially celebs, can do and hide surprising things. The possibility of anyone fathering a baby and keeping it secret is very plausible. On the negative side it is strange that if BT exists it seems like Jake/Austin is never with it, and how can it be hidden and what about when it gets older? I think if there's a BT, it lives fulltime with someone else, maybe a nanny but if Jake/Austin feel so comfortable being away from it so much that person could be a close relative or even the egg donor or the surrogate. Most but not all donor/surrogates are anonymous and sign the baby over never to see it again. It's very possible this could be the arrangement. I know Ted said TT was active in the rearing but "active" can have many different levels and variations in its definition.

I don't know if there's a BT and I'm not going to declare it an absolute yes or no, but I think the possibility of it existing is greater than the exclusion that it does not.

This idea is stupid. Not calling you stupid, just the idea. Then,,,,, what's the reason going thru all the trouble of trying to be a surrogate parent???
Two men as the fathers, mind you. Then just kind of,,,,, Throw it all away as if: "Well, I'll see the child when I can, if, I can. "Well you know his other daddy is working hard and come to think of it he's headed to Spain with his girlfriend or "whatever he wants to call her". But I'm busy in NY promoting my movie and stuff. I"m sort of real busy you know, It's really Amazing. I'll see the baby later.

What's the fucking POINT in having a child???

Anonymous said...

I'd say just the opposite.

And don't hold HW couples/families up as an example, we all know how effed up kids in those families can turn out, and how long those marriages can last. You can count the successful ones on one hand.

Tons of people (but especially men) go thru the trouble of having a kid, whether naturally, wanted, planned, surrogacy, accidental, etc. and then distance themselves for whatever reasons. Maybe the reality wasn't what they expected, maybe they find it hard to communicate with a baby/toddler and are waiting for it to get a little older, maybe they have deeper issues why they can't connect. The level of effort (or lack of, as in accidental pregnancies) someone does to MAKE a baby does NOT equal the effort they will put into raising it. It may sound like a good indicator, that they want it so bad, but no way does it determine what amount of effort and time will be spent on the baby after it's born.

Sometimes, you have no intention of getting pregnant and don't want to ever be a parent, then you do and you fall madly in love with your baby and don't want to be away from them for very long. That's why I find it unusual that J&A don't seem to behave very parentally. There's no way to know for sure, of course.

People we know personally can surprise us - for example the person who goes on a rage and murders, and all who knew him say he was nice and they can't believe that he did what he did. If people we know in person can surprise us, then by all means a celeb who carries a public persona, who has an image to protect, and that we do not have any personal contact with at all, certainly can.

Plenty of people with children spend time apart because of work and other circumstances.
What that has to do with Jake and Austin? Jake is NOT working for months, and as we can see, he's not spending time with Austin.

The fact that Jake has spent so much time on the East Coast while Austin is filming on the East Coast to me is evidence they are still together. He has a home in LA, why hasn't he been there since Austin started filming OTH.
That is not true. Jake was in LA with Maggie and Peter during summer. Jake also left LA for MV while Austin was still there, before Austin started working.

Nat said...

Natalie Portman has fallen out with her father over explicit sex scenes in her latest movie.

Relations between the actress and her Israeli doctor father Avner Hershlag are said to be ‘very frosty’ following the scenes in psychological thriller Black Swan in which she plays a lesbian ballerina. Natalie, 29, has previously turned down roles, including Lolita, which she considered too explicit, but she was determined to take on the role of troubled prima ballerina Nina in Black Swan.

‘Natalie is a very private and dignified person and is often influenced by her father’s approval,’ said a source. ‘This, however, was one role she simply didn’t want to turn down even though she knew it would upset her father. ‘He still sees her as his baby and always will and thinks showing herself like this is degrading.

'Things are very frosty between them right now.’

Just because J&A are on the Eastern Seaboard at the same time along with millions of other people, doesn't mean they are a couple. It's possible they are.

A beautiful example is Ricky Martin - when he had his boys, didn't he take some long-term time off to be with them and raise them? They are beautiful children too. I think if Jake and Austin were parents, they'd do the same. People who go through a lengthy surrogacy process in order to become parents are serious about it, and that must be the most important thing to them. Career comes after children when you can afford it, IMO.

Quinto said...

In a sign that the traditional media is continuing to move away from the idea that asking celebrities about their sexual orientation is somehow offlimits, the New York Times published an interview today with Zachary Quinto that broached the topic. About Quinto, who is starring in the upcoming revival of Tony Kushner's Angels in America, the Times notes that ..."the blogosphere is rife with speculation about his sexuality, no doubt fueled by his support for gay rights and organizations like the Trevor Project. He prefers not to feed that rumor mill with either substantiation or dismissal. He speaks passionately about gay marriage, about “don’t ask, don’t tell” and about the recent wave of gay bullying and suicides.

Quinto addresses the topic with the Times by saying only:

"The fact that these things are such hot-button issues right now, socially and politically, I would much rather talk about that than talk about who I sleep with. I would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, ‘Let’s talk about something that matters."

The article ends by noting of Quinto:

"That sense of social accountability is a quality Mr. Quinto shares with Louis, who rails against the hatred lurking beneath the surface of so-called tolerance. “To return to the theater is one thing,” he said. “But to return to the theater doing a play of this import and resonance — it’s beyond thrilling.”

Here is Quinto's "It Gets Better" video which has helped fuel speculation about his sexual orientation.

Why is worst when a gay person do it?

Gay and straights celebrities want to mantain certain image of themselves in the industry, that's just how they play the game.
Our mistake is to think about Hollywood stars as some kind of example and moral figures of society, when that role does not suit them and is not their job to do it.
We should pay more attention to the real people in our lives for a change and also stop praising famous people just because they are famous.
They are not better than anonymous people and what they do is not more important and meaningful.

Let's stop the nonsense of letting Hollywood define what we are as a society.

Of course not. I don't think anyone implied that famous people were better than anyone. But there's no denying that what they do gets more attention and, therefore, has a greater impact, for better or for worse.

Let people post what they please, no one takes what they say or blogs like that seriously anymore, if they ever did, that is.

Jake is going to marry a woman and have kids in some years to come. Everyone here, of course, will be convinced he's pulling a Travolta or Cruise. Even when he dies (when old hopefully) and some die hard TBers survive him and he didn't come out before his passing, they'll STILL be convinced he was a closeted gay man.
These are probably (mostly) extremely obsessexd people with no life.

I think him and Austin was an experimental phase for Jake that is long over.

He could be straight for all i know, but I don't see how such a manufactured gossip coupling with Whiterspoon, the strange things that happened after the "split" and the fact that she is behaving as if the relationship never happened can be combined with Jake being het or at least bi.

And don't hold HW couples/families up as an example, we all know how effed up kids in those families can turn out, and how long those marriages can last.

The Gyllenhaals are a HW family. To say you shouldn't look at HW when talking about Jake and the possibility of a BT and how he or she is being raised doesn't make any sense.

If the troll does not believe Ted then why does he hang on every word he says and visit his site daily. If he really thinks Jake is straight he would not waste his time here. He reveals his doubts by trying to convince everyone else Jake's not gay. He thinks if he keeps doing it long enough he may come to believe it. But he cant find any better evidence than name calling so hes back daily trying to convince himself.

No, not at all. I never post at DC and I'll bet most of WFT doesn't either. Your rantings about "Brokies" is so old and so meaningless and you think you're being insulting but you're not. As usual you ignore the real point about why you hang out and post on this blog ;)

I post on the DC and yes there is a lot of cross posting here going back to the first WTF. Also OMG, WDW and GB.
One big circle jerk, that's why there is so much school girl crap going on between the blogs, they bring any "problems" on DC and bring to other blogs, even spilling on to non-Jake blogs.

Anonymous said...

What school girl crap?

Anonymous said...

For example, the naming of DC posters here , like UV, LG and former DC posters like Kate/WDW and FL, the 2 latter have Jake blogs, DC poster Lola who changed her name to Bubba which was noted here and only a DC poster would know, mention of DC posters like Queen Berthial (sp?) etc, are or were dropped here and the back and forth coments was like everyone was sending PM's to each other and knew who everyone was talking about, that is a what you call a circle jerk.

The school girl crap is the catty comments, OMG is riddled with DC posters too but they are jaustiloons so it's not realy visible there.

Also around the time of the Presidential elections there was a lot of anti-Obama crap posted here that sounded too much like the Log cabin freeper crap that was posted on DC, also some other nasty stuff that I recognized, for some reason Jackie was skow to delete until it was pointed out that it didn't look good then it stopped.

I think Jackie who posts there as well recognized the posters and told them to stop, how else would make that shit stop when everyone here posts anon???

Everyone knows UV has a Jake blog, big deal. Same with Kate.

http://www.towleroad.com/2010/10/zachary-quinto-Zachary Quinto Won't Say if He's Gay said...

The NYT asks Angels in America star Zachary Quinto about rumors that he's gay.

"While Mr. Quinto accepts the occasional fan ambush as part of the movie and television stardom package, he chooses to keep his distance from what he regards as mindless celebrity-gossip culture. “I’m grateful that celebrity or notoriety wasn’t thrust upon me when I was in my 20s, because I think I would have buckled under the weight of it, as so many people do,” he said. “But I’ve come to realize through experience that ultimately I really do have a lot of power in terms of the way I relate to the public or to people outside of my intimate circle of friends and family. Boundaries are very important to me.”

Despite Mr. Quinto’s efforts to keep his private life private, the blogosphere is rife with speculation about his sexuality, no doubt fueled by his support for gay rights and organizations like the Trevor Project. He prefers not to feed that rumor mill with either substantiation or dismissal. He speaks passionately about gay marriage, about “don’t ask, don’t tell” and about the recent wave of gay bullying and suicides.

“The fact that these things are such hot-button issues right now, socially and politically, I would much rather talk about that than talk about who I sleep with,” Mr. Quinto said. “I would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, ‘Let’s talk about something that matters,’ ” he added."

Of course it's up to Quinto to decide when and how he comes out, if he is gay, but surely having out and proud examples matters to those considering harming themselves over their sexuality.

First off, let's just wait and see if the thing with Taylor Swift is any relevant. Second, if it is and she turns out to be his new beard/gal pal, i'm not surprsed she's a blonde...again. But this, again, won't last for too long anyway.
Posters worried about Anne Hathaway were on the wrong path. She is not his type, neither for beard nor girlfriend (whatever you believe nowadays).

Somewhat OT, but what is it with blonde people, i.e. in the celeb world James Dean, Brad Pitt, young Leo DiCap or women like la Monroe, belle Michelle Pfeiffer etc., etc., etc. ? Why so popular? Do blondes really have more fun? Or do you have more fun with blondes? Come to think of it, I don't even have one blonde friend nor any of my SOs was ever blonde. ;)

Are Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal dating? They spent Sunday strolling Brooklyn hand-in-hand, Life & Style reports. Taylor recently wrote a song that seemed to be about John Mayer breaking her heart.

Life & Style's Scene Queens column reports:

Taylor Swift definitely has a taste for older men! The 20-year-old country songbird has a new man in her life: 29-year-old actor Jake Gyllenhaal, Life & Style's Scene Queens can report exclusively. The two were spotted looking cozy in Brooklyn, N.Y., yesterday. "Taylor and Jake were walking around Park Slope holding hands," an eyewitness tells the Scene Queens. "They looked like a couple!"

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal spent the weekend laughing, eating and strolling together in New York City.

First, the two attended the broadcast of Saturday Night Live in Manhattan, which was hosted by Swift's good friend, Emma Stone.

"They showed up together," a source tells PEOPLE. "They walked around together backstage, but they were careful not to be seen too close. It was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him."

On Sunday, Swift, 20 and Gyllenhaal, 29, brunched with another couple in Brooklyn and, says an onlooker, looked "friendly." They were also spotted together strolling around Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood.

While reps for the two stars had no comment about their relationship, the Prince of Persia star might be just Swift's type.
