PEOPLE: Law Roach spilled the beans that Zendaya and Tom Holland are … already married?
MEN’S JOURNAL: Big Brother’s Josh Martinez has long been the subject of speculation about his sexual orientation. Now, he says:
“There’s this constant pressure to define everything,” Martinez says. “I’ve never really felt the need to label myself or to say I’m this or I’m that. I’m just Josh. I really just don’t care anymore. Every single aspect of my life has been attacked, has been judged …from the way I speak everything, the way I compete, the way I look, who I’m sleeping with, my sexuality, the way everything has been destroyed, to where it’s built me to like I just don’t care. People are just gonna have an opinion, and you gotta be okay, and you also can’t give a shit. And there’s so much freedom in that. So like, if I want to go on a show and sleep with whoever I want to sleep with, or date whoever I want to date, I’m okay with it, but it’s taken nine long years to get to this point.”
PARADE: More interestingly, Paul McCartney says some people thought John Lennon might’ve been gay. It even crossed Yoko’s mind!
THE GUARDIAN: These guys got married at this year’s Sydney Mardi Gras.
STAR OBSERVER: Jack Jacobs recalls being lured into a gay bashing off Grindr six years ago, noting the worst part was the shame and embarrassment he felt.
