*average liberal straight person online*: “It’s so refreshing to see a male celebrity who rejects toxic masculinity and is a dedicated ALLY confident enough to know that being a little goofy and supporting LGBT people doesn’t make him gay. But don’t you dare imply he might be gay. That’s offensive.” - ThreadSky

Like...I'm not saying he has/had an Italian author boyfriend who dedicated his book to him and flew to NYC to see him on Valentine's Day but...

(it's not subtle)

*meanwhile, Pedro*: licks giant rainbow poles while shaking his ass, goes on dates with Russell Tovey to see the Pet Shop Boys, leaves emotional voicemails for Omar Apollo’s album interludes

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Media: Pedro Pascal has been romantically linked with a series of women, none of whom ever confirmed they dated, often denied ever dating him, and some of whom were engaged to or pregnant by other men at the time of the ostensible ‘dating rumours’

Oddly enough, no tabloids or celebrity magazines publishing articles about Pedro Pascal ‘dating rumours’ have ever suggested that he might be dating his close friend Russell Tovey, who has captioned pictures of them at concerts together as a “Date night”.

I absolutely ship this and i ship it hard

(Tovey is an absolute delight, honestly my favourite ever celebrity encounter)

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

They did, however, used to suggest that he was romantically linked to his best friend Sarah Paulson, famous lesbian in a long-term relationship with Holland Taylor.

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Strange how all that’s required for him to be rumoured to be dating a woman is being their co-star but no one publishes any dating rumours re: any of the gay men he is very close with. Weird how speculating that he might be dating random women is normal but the other thing is still verboten.

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Like, whatever, he’s a celebrity and people are entitled to privacy, but it’s very obvious that the media & public still think that someone being queer is at some level scandalous enough that it is improper to acknowledge the possibility even when they are not REMOTELY trying to hide it.

That hand placement suggests a lot of things, and none of them are straight.

psyopivy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Caressing the chest of all my straight friends.

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is it weird that the casually affectionate “this one” is the part of that caption that *screams* couple more than “date night”?

amaditalks.bsky.social•11 days ago

Chris Evans of Captain America fame also has a habit of affectionately cupping the pectoral muscles of his male friends and costars. He did it so often on Marvel press events that people compiled videos about it. But it was never in a photo captioned "this one."

purplechrain.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m not suggesting to know anything about their personal lives! Just noting that it demonstrably takes a hell of a lot less for media to suggest that he might be romantically involved with a woman.

this russel guy got a good hold on pedro boob. wish that was me :(

alexsaysstuff.bsky.social•12 days ago

They're just really straight bro pals 😜

alexsaysstuff.bsky.social•12 days ago

(this is me trolling, I know Oscar is married)

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

I mean. You don’t need to troll! He has multiple gay “close friends” who he regularly is photographed all over at the beach, at Pet Shop Boys concerts, at art galleries, at bars, etc., none of whom he is ever “romantically linked” with.

alexsaysstuff.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sure, and I agree! And as you say, it hasn't stopped speculation about whether he's in relationships with women who are known to have partners! Just clarifying that I don't actually think he could be in a relationship w/ Oscar Isaac b/c Isaac does have a long-term partner.

This is very interesting, to me

Also average liberal straight people online: that politician certainly isn’t just hateful bc he’s evil, he’s closeted!

tiredgaynomad.bsky.social•12 days ago

I feel like this average liberal straight person you’re referring to is often 17 and very protective of their celebrity crushes.

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

Nah, I mean. They also write for countless tabloid newspapers and/or celebrity magazines that seem very invested in him secretly dating Jennifer Aniston.

purplechrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s less about Pedro specifically & more that he’s the most famous current example of this weird norm where media/the public are very comfortable speculating he might be dating any woman he ever has a conversation with but act like it’s rude/offensive/invasive to think he might not be straight.

tiredgaynomad.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well yeah. We still live in a world where a large percent of people think being queer is grounds for eternal damnation. That bias is ground in deep.
