Charlie King Confirms He’s Single, Not Quite Ready To Mingle

Charlie King Confirms He’s Single, Not Quite Ready To Mingle

Screen Shot 2014-10-17 at 3.45.04 PMBritish reality hunk Charlie King is loving the influx of “male attention” he’s received since coming out as gay during a live television interview earlier this month, but you can’t date him just yet!

Speaking with Attitude at the 2014 Attitude Awards last week, the 29-year-old former TOWIE star said he’s “overwhelmed” by the positive support he’s received from the public since coming out, adding “It was an ideal opportunity.”

He said:

“I just felt that I was ready to tell my story. Through the summer I have been in a relationship and I just wanted to draw upon that and be proud of where I am in my life right now.

People have followed my story on TOWIE, and they’ve questioned me and now it felt like the right time to put it out there.”

And even though he’s single, he’s not quite on the market just yet:

“I’m single now. I’m gutted, absolutely gutted. I’m a little bit overwhelmed by the response, because suddenly you get a hell of a lot of interest.

I’ve got loads of new Twitter followers and lots of Facebook friend requests. I’m going to let it die down a bit, I’m not going to go and get busy. I’m going to take my time.”

It’s ok, Charlie. We’re patient.

It’s a thank you from me ????????

Jillian Michaels Opens Up About Her Sexuality

Jillian Michaels Opens Up About Her Sexuality
Jillian Michaels may not be as comfortable with her association with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community as you might expect.

The former “Biggest Loser” trainer recently sat down with Health magazine to discuss her life after the show, how she stays fit now and her identity as a queer woman. While she may be in a relationship with a woman, the “gay thing,” as she puts it, is still something that she struggles to talk openly about. She told Health:

“I don’t know that I am [comfortable talking about being gay] now, to be honest with you. The gay thing has always been hard for me. When Heidi and I are out and somebody older asks, ‘Are you sisters?’ I say, ‘We’re friends.’ I guess it comes from thinking that they will be shocked or disturbed. Look, I wish I had some strapping football player husband. It would be such a dream to be ‘normal’ like that, but I’m just not.

The public first learned about Michaels’ sexuality in 2010 when she told Ladies Home Journal, “Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love… it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”

In 2012 the star’s partner, Heidi Rhoades, gave birth to a baby boy two weeks before the couple adopted a daughter from Haiti.

Here’s Ben Affleck’s Full-Frontal Scene Everyone’s Been Talking About

The discussion around Ben Affleck’s penis in Gone Girl is either a sign that our culture has the maturity level of a middle school locker room or the greatest marketing plan since Panasonic decided to name an early PC model the “Woody” with the accompanying slogan, “Touch Woody — The Internet Pecker.” Yes, that really happened:

But no matter the reason, Ben’s Affleck has become a household name (hey, don’t forget about Neil Patrick Harris), and Conan has really blown the lid off the whole story.

Kyrgyzstan Overwhelmingly Approves Russian-Style Anti-gay 'Propaganda' Ban

Kyrgyzstan Overwhelmingly Approves Russian-Style Anti-gay 'Propaganda' Ban

KyrgyzstanLawmakers in Kyrgyzstan have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a Russian-style ban on the promotion of positive attitudes towards “non-traditional sexual relations,” Eurasianet reports:

The bill, which passed its first reading 79 to 7, will need to pass two more readings before the bill goes to Russian ally President Almazbek Atambayev for his signature. 

One of the bill’s authors, Kurmanbek Dyikanbayev, often sounds as if he is repeating Kremlin talking points. Dyikanbayev told Radio Azattyk last week that he sponsored the bill to protect Kyrgyzstan’s “traditional families.” He also blames Western democracy for moral degeneracy and for encouraging homosexuality.
 
Bishkek-based LGBT-rights organization Labrys, whose advocacy would be outlawed by the bill, notes that the legislation contradicts numerous human-rights provisions in Kyrgyzstan’s constitution. Nika Yuryeva of Labrys said she fears the bill will encourage more violence against the LGBT community.

The U.S. embassy in Kyrgyzstan released a statement earlier this week denouncing the bill:

“No one should be silenced or imprisoned because of who they are or whom they love. Laws that discriminate against one group of people threaten the fundamental rights of all people.”

Back in January, Human Rights Watch published a disturbing report about police extortion and torture of gay men in the central Asian nation.
