In high school, I always loved movies; yet, I always looked at them passively. Only rarely did I become involved in the events or with the characters I saw on screen. In fact, prior to Brokeback Mountain I can't think of a single instance when I felt a profound emotional reaction to a film. I remember getting a little choked up while watching the end of Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia, but that's as close as it ever got to my becoming emotionally invested in situations taking place in a movie.
I watched Brokeback Mountain with my father on opening weekend back in late 2005 — though we had actually gone to see Capote instead. When we tried to buy tickets, we realized there was only one showing of Capote four or five hours later. Brokeback Mountain, however, was playing in just an hour; so, we bought two tickets and went to Borders to wait.
Since at the store they had a display with E. Annie Proulx's short story, my father and I each grabbed a copy and read it while we waited to see the movie, which had been getting phenomenal reviews. Curiously, I remember feeling underwhelmed by the short story. I thought to myself, "I don't even know if I'm excited to see this movie anymore." But since we had already bought the tickets, there wasn't really any turning back.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain"
After the hour passed, we went in. As I sat there watching Brokeback Mountain unfold, something changed within me. I don't know what caused it exactly, but I remember that I started crying when Gustavo Santaolalla's "The Wings" began playing while Jack and Ennis are at the campfire. I had never, ever cried because of a movie. And frankly, I did not understand how or why anyone would. Still, as I sat there in the theater, I could not contain my tears.
Eventually, I stopped crying, but the tears began streaming down once again when Ennis collects Jack's shirt and hugs it, fighting to hold on to the man he loved. I shed more tears at the end of the film, when Ennis opens his closet door, looks at the shirt, and the credits slowly start to roll.
I don't know why, but ever since that first time I saw Brokeback Mountain, my entire movie-watching experience has been radically different. After that, I have revisited movies I had seen before; suddenly, I was looking at them in a new light; at times, I was able to connect with them where before I had been emotionally and/or intellectually detached.
In addition, whether or not I'm watching a movie for the first time, I have been able to find layers to characters and settings that would have been out of my reach before. In essence, Brokeback Mountain made me realize how much I truly love the art of film. It also inspired me to start writing about it.
I mustered the courage to start posting my film commentaries online only in 2008 or whereabouts, but I had never considered writing about movies prior to Brokeback Mountain. In a profound way, that same-sex love story set in the American West made me realize there were tangible differences between bad cinema, good cinema, and great cinema. Needless to say, I'm fully aware that my Brokeback Mountain experience was exceptional, for having such a visceral response to any film is something quite unique.
Even though I cannot fully explain my personal reaction to the film, I must credit the filmmakers for it. Had Brokeback Mountain not been crafted the way it was, I find it impossible to believe that I would have been so deeply affected by it. After all, I had felt quite unenthusiastic after reading E. Annie Proulx's short story.
I have watched Brokeback Mountain many times since that first viewing. My experience has been different each time, but the film's power has never been lost. As we grow, our experiences change; our hope is that they will change not for the worse, but for the better. Thanks to Brokeback Mountain, I can happily say that mine have been forever changed for the better.

^ The sign of a truly married man!

Preaching EXCEPTANCE while not "Excepting" is a double standard much.
LOL. If you're going to go off on these phony, self-righteous rants, at least learn to use the right words. The words you're looking for are "acceptance" and "accepting." Notice that you never can come up for an explanation of why you hang out here when it obviously drives you so crazy. Our opinions obviously mean a lot to you ;)
We know that Jake fakes relationships with women he doesn't give a shit about and being gay is the only explanation.

irst of all Destiny, claiming someone is Gay when they have said that they are NOT. Is wrong,......
I've been hanging around WFT/WFT2/OMG for what, five years now? You really think giving me a little lecture like that is going to change my mind? Yes, you might be able to win over the occasional fan like Sienna, who had mixed feelings from the beginning about gabbing about Jake being gay, and convince them that changing your tune is going to save Jake, but if you're looking to change my mind, give up. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
and convince them that changing your tune is going to save Jake
Save Jake??? What on earth are you talking about. Save Jake from you? Give me a break. Believe what you want to believe.
In my book it's wrong to pester someone about them being gay when they have said the are NOT! Period! And that's even If I think they ARE and HIDING.
No one wants to be ridiculed, Straghts nor Gays.
And my point stands that Gay people preach acceptence then some gays act like the a**hole straights that attack them, then they don't ACCEPT others. And this includes an in the closet person who has NOT come OUT yet. I've seen it and know it happens. Being gay does not exempt the gay person from being a know all, finger pointing, attacking A**hole.
acceptance = excuse my miss spelling on previous post
acceptance = excuse my miss spelling on previous post
Your misspelling is excused :) What isn't excused is your holier-than-thou, sanctimonious off-the-mark lecturing. You still can't explain why you are here. You keep ignoring that question. You must hold our opinions in high regard or else you would not care what we had to say. You don't realize that the more you bang your head against the wall preaching, the more credence you give this blog. You wouldn't spend so much time here if you didn't think there is some truth to what is being said.
In my book it's wrong to pester someone about them being gay when they have said the are NOT! Period! And that's even If I think they ARE and HIDING.

I don't care of gay people, I care about poor lost soul like you who have nothing else to do than wasting their lifetime bashing someone.

Will ‘One Tree Hill’ Get A Season 9? Austin Nichols Says ‘Seeds For The Future’ Are Planted!
When you live in Tree Hill, you need to be prepared for anything: crashing limousines, psycho nanny attacks, and yes, even the possibility of cancelation. As One Tree Hill‘s eighth season comes to a close — the final five episodes begin April 19 at 8 p.m. on The CW — the show’s fate remains uncertain.
But Austin Nichols tells HollywoodLife.com that all hope is not lost!
“Our writers, and [creator] Mark Schwann, try to wrap things up in a way that would be satisfying,” he teases. “But I know there also are seeds for the future that are planted.”
Fucking blogger!
"4:09 PM - as we can see, you have nothing better to do than wasting your lifetime bashing people who believe Jake is gay."
Exaggerating again 4:22pm?
“This happened last year, and I think this happens a lot in television,” he continues. “When the writers are writing the end of the season, they often don’t know if it’s the end or not. … I don’t know what’s up my boss’s sleeve, but I imagine we might have possibile different endings.”
Austin’s hopeful words echo those of Mark, who tells Zap2it the cast and crew were “invigorated” while shooting the final five episodes and are definitely interested in continuing with the series.
From your mouth to God’s ears, Mark!
Exaggerating again 4:22pm?

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Spotted Exchanging Pickles At A Burger Joint
AVOCADO HEIGHTS, California - One of the top young country singers in America today was spotted with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Jake "The Snake" Gyllenhaal.
The two were sitting in a booth at the famous Hank's Hippity Hoppity Hamburger Haven Diner in Avocado Heights.
A fellow patron who would only provide her last name (Kleindienst) said that as her and her grandmother who would also only provide her last name (Buttonfaro) sat eating their Hippity Hoppity Burgers they quickly recognized the couple sitting in the booth across from theirs.
Kleindienst pointed out that the couple really appeared to be hungry in the food department as well as in the passion department as evidenced by the fact that they were hand-feeding each other French fries in between French kisses.
Kleindienst further went on to say that she could hear Jake telling Taylor that he wanted for her to pick the pickles out of her burger and put them in his burger.
The 21-year-old Taylor asked him why. He grinned and replied because it was an old traditional Gyllenhaal family good luck custom that had been passed down for six generations.
And with that Taylor smiled, opened up her burger, and picked out the three pickles, but before she gave them to Jake she told him that she wanted him to take the pickles out of his burger and give them to her so that she could place them in her burger.
She said that with two more award shows coming up soon she needed all the good luck she could get.
It is no secret that the quite slender Taylor, whom Jake calls "T-Swizzle," has always written songs about the guys that she dates. And Jake is no exception. So far she has written four songs about Gyllenhaal.
Songs That Taylor Swift Has Written About Jake Gyllenhaal
•He's My Hot Doggin' Hot Dog Man
•Okay So You Stole My Heart But Thank Goodness That I Still Got My Hymen You Lie-Spewing Varmint
•Jake Was Our Love Like A Fake Wedding Cake And If It Was Then Take Your Butt And Go Jump In The Lake 'Cause I Hate You More Than I Hate That Fa Shizzle Ma Nizzle Kanye West

Oh yes it fucking does, what, no, I, no, hello? When?

first of all Destiny, claiming someone is Gay when they have said that they are NOT. Is wrong, even if the person is hiding and lying. That's that persons life. When they are ready to admit they are actually gay, then you can argue about their lying later. But since you don't live with Jake, you making any statement as "the truth" about his life and sexuality is still wishful thinking and speculation. That's the Truth!
You can coddle and babysit the young gays here with your unending Approval of Them calling Jake out because he's bearding and hurting your cause if you want to, but I see with some people, age and Adulthood does not equal maturity.
God called.
He would like his ego back.

Doesn't that kinda preclude Jake though? As SpecialK pointed out - tons???

Movie Star Plans Fake Marriage
StarMagazine – Which movie actor, who has previously dated tons of pretty actresses and singers, is not really into women? As whispers that he’s gay grow louder, he’s recently cooked up a plan to have a fake marriage within the next few years.
http://blindgossip.com/?p=27818
Maybe that's what the recent "dates" with the different women (including that gal from "90210") were about. He's shopping for a "wife."
Shopping? I'm just browsing!
The only other person who would match that BI is Joe Jonas. Many whispers that he's gay, has dated singers and actresses. He us a singer and not an actor though. I would hate to believe that Jake would be so desperate for A list status that he would go through with a sham marriage.
Ryan Gosling: 'Lone Ranger' with Johnny Depp?
Ryan Gosling may be joining Johnny Depp in Disney’s upcoming film adaptation of The Lone Ranger!
The 30-year-old actor would play the titular character, who’s a masked lawman, while Johnny would play his Native American sidekick, Tonto.
The Wrap explains that it’s still a little early and Ryan’s packed schedule may not allow him to take on the role.
The Lone Ranger is set for a 2014 release and will be directed by Gore Verbinski, who helmed the first three films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

I wonder why Jake rarely gets roles opposite those cool, great actors like Depp?
Jake's co-star in End of Watch is some quite unknown actor who mostly starred in B- movies. And the director has only one fresh movie on RT. Not promising.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Look at where this blind vice came from. Star Magazine. Star Magazine is below everybody on the rag food chain. They rank right down there with In Touch and OK!. They're the ones who gave all the details about the wedding Reese was planning with Jake. I can't even count the number of lies they printed about Reeke - it was unreal and none of which came to fruition.
I ought to know - it was during Reeke that I got my free year's subscription to Star off of the back of a pack of razors. LOL!
Star Magazine is below everybody on the rag food chain.
How could that matter?

Ellen K works for Ryan Seacreast, maybe she took a pic, LOL!
Would Ellen K recognise Austin?
I would think so, OTH and his and Sophia's charities and his tweet and FB accounts have made him very recognizeable. E has done enough coverage of them not for her to recognize him plus they both were interviewed by Ryan on his show last year to talk about the BP spill, since she works for Seacrest it's a good bet she would recognize him.
And Austin is most likely in Texas with his family.
How could that matter?

So I guess that means I can take Ted Casablanca's word on Baby Tile - Baby Tile which is a Blind Item.
If Jake was going to marry, I think Reeke would have ended in marriage. Jake cannot emotionally handle a hetero marriage. He couldn't even lie on the Jimmy Kimmel without erupting into a full blown blush.
If Jake was going to marry, I think Reeke would have ended in marriage.
That doesn't make sense + why would Jake want a fake marriage with a bitch he doesn't even like + Reese Witherspoon is not the only (ex) beard in LA.
Jake cannot emotionally handle a hetero marriage.
What hetero marriage? We are discussinbg FAKE marriage.
Why doesn't it make sense? If Jake's sole purpose in Hollywood is to have a rocketing career, Reeke could have given him that. She was A-List at the time, still young enough to give him kids and yet he could have had his life on the side like he did anyway.
What hetero marriage? We are discussinbg FAKE marriage.
I KNOW that. Person, here's how this works. and italicize and and bolds. These are two identifiable tools for emphasis. Are you the one who keeps shouting? I don't need my ears to read.
And yes, I know we're talking a fake marriage, do you think I'm stupid?
So if Jake is this blind vice and he's going to marry, then of course it would be fake. And he's not going to like it any more than had he married Reese. He's not going to like it no matter who the girl is because the man is gay and he likes the men.
If you think Orlando Bloom is a happy soul, I would advise looking at Orlando's sad life in the pictures of Just Jared postings. That guy has sold his soul.
lol, my italic and bold HTML's didn't work. LOL!!
Well, most people know how those work.
And yes, I know we're talking a fake marriage, do you think I'm stupid?
No, but you love to play stupid.
For those who are anxiety ridden about this latest marriage BV and believe it to be about Jake, I think it might be a good thing to remember that 2 years ago, people were believing that Jake was eventually going to marry Reese. Some thought Jake would walk the red carpet with her. A lot of us were just waiting for that widely rumored romantic getaway trip to Egypt to happen. Stories of ring buying.
None of that ever ended up happening.
Hey Jack. I knew that was you. Bye bye.
If Jake's sole purpose in Hollywood is to have a rocketing career, Reeke could have given him that.
Is that some kind of joke?
You already forgot how Reeke was about promoting the chin and how no one gave a shit about their movie "Rendition"? Or how after two years of reeking and non-stop publicity "Brothers" was a flop. PoP too.
Hey Jack. I knew that was you. Bye bye.
Nah, that wasn't Jack.
If Jake was going to marry, I think Reeke would have ended in marriage
No way. Reese was fine bearding to make it look like she had a hot young heartthrob boyfriend after Ryan cheated on her, but she had zero reason to actually marry Jake.

This one?
From (Gossip Boy Apr 14). If true sounds too cool to be Jake (who seems devoted to public image) but one never knows:
2-Is it possible that this actor may finally be coming out of the closet? He has been wanting to for years. He wants to come out because of all the gay hate around the word affecting the children. I'm told that a gay teenage boy wrote to him about how he got picked on and that he looked up to said celeb because he called gays called gay too. Our stud was so touched that he flew the boy and his family out to HW for the weekend and treated them to an amusement park. He's ready to come out and support but his handlers are desperately against it for obvious reasons. Probably because he plans to come all out, history and all and his beards may have some 'splainin to do.------------Not Matthew McConaughey
He wants to come out because of all the gay hate around the word affecting the children.

Not as insufferable as a know it all that knows really knows Jack Shit!.

None of this stuff ever comes true whoever they are talking about.
Jake doesn't answer his fan mail, ask fans on DC forum and IHJ, hasn'r in years.
He will pose and sign at events and on occasions when he is off duty, but any thing official, nada.
So the fake BI by the fake "gossip boy" ain't about him.
Me and Mrs Soapy were in Savanah ,GA thei weekend to attend a wedding
^^^^^
That should be Mr. Soapy
^^^ Source?
SC est for the weekend is 8th place. Only 1 place dropped-not bad. In fact, it’s average per theater is @$340 more than Arthur (second weekend out). It is also two places above (and @2.5 million more) than Your Highness (second weekend and has two “names”). Last week it had days where is was top 5. It should be @$37,000,000 at the end of the weekend which means it above production budget (yes, I know it collects 55% of the 37,000,000). International hasn’t updated since last week so the worldwide $50,000,000 isn’t exact, maybe 60 when all said and done for this week. Lincoln Lawyer is at 55 mil worldwide after 5 weeks (the international has to update for that, too).
No, it isn’t a powerhouse, but it means that people are still going and not drips and drabs. It also means that the movie company should make its money back plus some when all is said and done. Of course, I think DVD, etc will bring in money, too.
No, I don’t have anything invested in the movie or Jake, but I do think there are a lot of doom and gloom people here and I want to counter them. There are also some haters, too.
Will he be someone who opens big, big movies, probably not. But if he does a steady diet of 30 million dollar movies that makes the money back he can be in more interesting movies. Maybe that’s even better. The rating for SC on RT is 90%. That’s incredible. Also, he got very good reviews.
You never know when something goes big. Maybe the cop movie will. Maybe Nailed will come out (with another director) and is either really so good people are shocked or a hot mess that it is camp and fun and popular.
As soon as we get off of moderation over on OMG, we're going to blow a few holes in this wedding situation so don't get too excited.
It should be obvious to the OTH girls that Austin & Sophia had ceased to use twitter to advance their "romance". It was even "revealed" on the Forum that the duo's plans were to keep things low key and more private. And the fans were admiring this new trend of theirs to not use twitter in this fashion. Indeed Sophin had ceased to tweet at each other.
But now that the show is over, all of a sudden these 2 are resuming the usage of twitter to place their whereabouts and to insinuate that they are together. For us on OMG and WFT2 who at the least realize Austin is gay and Sophia is his beard, leaving Jake out of the equation totally, it's extremely obvious what they're doing. Why the OTH girls don't even recognize this or wonder out loud about this change in behavior is unbelievable.
Good for Jake and good for Source Code.
No, I don’t have anything invested in the movie or Jake, but I do think there are a lot of doom and gloom people here and I want to counter them. There are also some haters, too.
Hmm, this comment sounds so familiar. I saw quite a few similar high-horse sentiments on that Dave Cullen thread.
Hate's a very strong word, 13:48. People here and on OMG are frank. We call things as we see them. There's a big difference.
we're going to blow a few holes in this wedding situation so don't get too excited
Who's excited? You're the one bothering & itching to "blow a few holes". LOL!!
As soon as we get off of moderation over on OMG, we're going to blow a few holes in this wedding situation so don't get too excited.
So what if Austin and Sophia attended some weading?
It's not like Austin has something better to do and he can't be her "boyfriend" without being her escort, Sophia can't go out on her own all the time.
I am 1:48 and I don’t post on Dave Cullen.
“Haters” is a popular expression in today’s society. You can decide the level of hate. There are people who seem to be very happy when Jake fails. That’s hate to me.
2:47 PM, you are projecting. Are you a babbler?
You can decide the level of hate.
For silly fangirls a "hater" is everyone who doesn't agree with their opinion.
I see, thanks for the answer, 2:47 PM / 2:52 PM is a babbler.
Good that Jakes latest film has produced decent results. Thats what they are. Decent. Enough to get him more work but not to solidify his status as an A list leading man yet.
But now that the show is over, all of a sudden these 2 are resuming the usage of twitter to place their whereabouts and to insinuate that they are together.
Insinuate that they are together??? Sophia said she's dating Austin for years and Austin tweeted about Sophia "the woman he loves" more than once.
It sounds so twee and 'prim little miss',
Are you talking about PeeGee?
None of this stuff ever comes true whoever they are talking about.
^^ We're on the same page Jersey Tom. It never comes true. It alos sounds like some made up blind vice. Just to wet the appetite or gay fans. Don't know about this one.
People here and on OMG are frank. We call things as we see them. There's a big difference.
What? too bad you can't take it when someone calls you as they see you. Just an observation.
Just an observation.
LOL! Nah, it's fangirls being pissed off because there are people who don't kiss Jake's ass like they do.
While I largely agree with Tom that the BI is likely made up and there is probably no star wanting to come out, I did wonder briefly if it is Leo after seeing pictures on JJ of him at Coachella with Lukas Haas.
Natalie Portman's Thron is receiving great reviews so far. That gal's on a roll.
Jake should be working more. The more he works the more chances of success he has. He has too much spare time on his hands anyway.

Oh the irony! Thanks for the laugh!
You're here too 7:52pm #moreirony
Not everything Natalie does is great; Your Highness only got a 25 from RT and did poorly at the box office.
That's all her fault!
Jake doesn't answer his fan mail, ask fans on DC forum and IHJ, hasn'r in years.
He will pose and sign at events and on occasions when he is off duty, but any thing official, nada.
So the fake BI by the fake "gossip boy" ain't about him
What so now you're in control of Jake's pen?
Though...it probably isn't Jake and is a totally made up BI to pass the time.
Can anyone see Jake flying some gay child out to LA to do funfair under the radar and then have to do a masive bearding sesh with at least 3 passing females to countract the inevitable Ellen appearance of said child who wishes to 'thank' his benefactor?
Still, nice to think it MIGHT have happened. In a parallel universe where actors are really cool and take the bull by the horns/not let themselves be pushed around by their handlers.
Jake knows all about parallel universe! :)
@adamlevine I think you would make a great Dread Pirate Roberts.

No, Jake doesn't support any gay issue in any way, his public image is more important.
You must be one of the haters
What Jake did to support any gay issue since BBMt?
Since when telling the obvious truth = hate?
You must be one of the haters
Sure, bearding isn't about fake public image, bearding is about supporting gays! LOL
LOL! Once you get over your fantasy that Jake will be the saviour of all gays if/when he comes out, the less bitter you will be.
7:37 AM what are you talking about? We are discussing BI, not Jake coming out or saving anyone.
You love playing dumb. Read 7:24am's post
I've read all posts, so I'm sure "fantasy that Jake will be the saviour of all gays if/when he comes out" is made up bullshit posted by a troll.
What Jake did to support any gay issue since BBMt?
Support yourself young man. It's not difficult.
Look to OUT gay stars for support. What's wrong with these supposed live and let live and gay people who try to pull someone out the the closet to support them.?.
If Jakey is gay and bearding it's his business and his alone. The stars who are now out as gay are not enough support for you, or do you only need Jake? Are they doing things for the gay comm.? These are the heros. Why go after someone you believe are in the closet? Makes no sense to me.

What's made up bullshit 9:49 is, gays that think calling Jake out as gay and bearding is "helpful", and standing for some cause. These posters are trolls also and truly have trollish behavior.
Like the (don't Play Stupid) troll. They just don't realize it. They don't realize many things. Only we have to out Jake every day on every blog.
If Jakey is gay and bearding it's his business and his alone.
Wrong - supporting Hollywood homophobia is NOT Jake's business and his alone.
Why go after someone you believe are in the closet? Makes no sense to me.
You are straight?

Thanks for confirming that I was right about troll posting "fantasy that Jake will be the saviour of all gays if/when he comes out".

wrong answer! His life is his life, not yours! What he does with his life is his business!
You don't like it, YOU don't have to watch. It's that Simple.
No star owes you anything.
He says he's not gay, accept it.
If he's lying, it's his business.
You don't like it, don't go see his movies. Turn the channel when he's on TV. It's simple.
Bitching about somebody else's life makes no sense.
Nathan Lane is OUT. He does plenty for the gay comm., I think. Can he be you Hero. Ted C. is out, Harvey F. is out. Why are these not your heros?
10:02am, nothing was confirmed, except your bitterness that Jake has not "come out" yet.
LOL Ted C can be the saviour of all teh gheys.
wrong answer! His life is his life, not yours! What he does with his life is his business!
What Jake does in his private life is his business. Posing for tabloids and faking his public image is something else.
10:02am, nothing was confirmed, except your bitterness that Jake has not "come out" yet.
Troll, you are the only one who's talking about coming out and the only reason you are talking about it is to use it to trash people who discuss gay Jake.
What Jake does in his private life is his business. Posing for tabloids and faking his public image is something else.
^^^ Wrong again. When a person poses for tabloids and dates or fake dates, it's Still their BUSINESS!
You don't like it and don't believe it, don't buy or don't read it. It's simple. Who's twisting your arm?
Some who buy it or reads it may believe it. Their choice.
the only reason you are talking about it is to use it to trash people who discuss gay Jake.
Sorry, wrong again. You are the one calling people "trolls", and the usual "don't play stupid" drivel.
10:14 AM - you aren't fooling anyone. You are here to trash people just becase you want to trash 'Jake is gay' talk. You are a troll, everyone can see that, you are transparent.
When a person poses for tabloids and dates or fake dates, it's Still their BUSINESS!
You are straight.
Berading and selling fake heterosexuality is homophobic - homophobia in public is not Jake's private business.
You are here to trash people
^^ That's just your opinion. It's also obvious that you trash anyone who doesn't agree with you. Get over your bitterness.

Sorry, we are gonna have to agree to disagree.
I also don't think it's right for gay people to call people out who have not come out YET! You don't know their circumstance or life at all. You may think you do, but you don't.
Yes it would be great if all gay people would just drop the cover and come out, it would show that so many people who most think is straight are gay and it could change things, but you can not force anybody out. The gay person concentrating on being out themselves and rallying around those who are now out can and will help the cause.
You are straight.
Wrong again, I'm gay
You are here to trash people
^^ That's just your opinion. It's also obvious that you trash anyone who doesn't agree with you.
I trash only trolls like you, trolls who can't stand gay Jake and fans who believe Jake is gay.
I also don't think it's right for gay people to call people out who have not come out YET!
You think that we shouldn't discuss gay Jake just because he's in the closet?
You think that we shouldn't discuss gay Jake just because he's in the closet?
first, you can discuss whatever you want, but remember because you say it's truth and you may believe it as (truth), does not make it (TRUTH)!
Now that's the TRUTH!
There are fangirls who believe Jake is straight and for them that's the truth. You don't complain about them, right?
I'm 100% sure Jake is gay and will repeat that as much as I like.
first, you can discuss whatever you want
So I should pretend that you don't post "discuss openly gay stars" all the time?
The stars who are now out as gay are not enough support for you, or do you only need Jake? Are they doing things for the gay comm.? These are the heros. Why go after someone you believe are in the closet? Makes no sense to me.

^^ I think they only discuss Jake's sexuality. Then get mad and call him out. Don't know why, but this seems to be what's happening.

Who are "they"? You are posting and discussing Jake's sexuality here on WFT2 too. Trolls are so silly.
Troll, you are disgusting.
