I am a straight woman, but I totally agree with Mr. Black’s comments.

Same here!!

I wish the media would leave Taylor Lautner alone , he is a 19 year old boy , he should be treated with more respect , the gay rumors have gone on since he started twilight at 16 enough is enough he has had 3 girlfriends already and i completely agree with Mr. Dustin Lance Black , that childish thought that because he is gay he is going to flirt with every man he meets is just pathetic its feeding stupid stereotypes as well they keep doing that attacking Lautner for being a teen heartthrob, leave people be its 2011 ppls sexuality are theirs to keep !

I agree 100% with Mr. Black. Also surprised Taylor even gave that the dignity of a response, I would have been like “wtf kind of question is THAT?!” It shouldn’t matter whether Taylor’s gay or straight anyway. I’m not a huge fan but he seems like a nice guy and Kristen adores him like a brother so people need to lay off.

I’m afraid I have to agree w/Black – that assumption could be insulting. Most sexual preditors are hetero!

I totally agree with you!

I love that he didn’t even dignify the reporter by calling him by his real name, just Mr. GQ writer. Good for him.

The question was a clever way of cornering Mr Lautner into answering about his own sexuality. If he simply deflected it by stating he doesn’t answer questions of that type it would’ve spurred speculation on all 3 men.” So now he’s answered it, No they didn’t and I’m straight. The purported interviewer being “gay” himself, if true, shows that insensitive, sensationalizing intrusiveness and bigotry are not relegated to so called “homophobes”. Way too often, and in particular in the internet blogs, under the guise of freedom of speech, the “gay” labeling isn’t simply used to identify a person’s sexuality but as a derogatory bludgeoning of a person to diminish both their professional and personal reputation (I’m not saying it is, just that certain individuals use it as such). The evidence is overwhelming they say: he’s been seen with known “gays” (really, there are known gays in Hollywood, & for that matter everywhere) he dresses well (probably has a team who does that), he sometimes has feminine mannerisms (whatever that means, very arbitrary), he’s too articulate for a “normal” 19 year old, is usually well groomed & not a slob, doesn’t swear & curse like a drunken sailor, hasn’t beaten or knocked up a girl or been caught with a roomful of hookers, and of course we mustn’t forget that all important device “gaydar” (no patent pending, because it is a fictional piece of dung that’s just as worthless as the snide bigots who use it as a pretext to demonstrate their bullying low self esteem natures). and as for Mr Black’s response he certainly was right in being offended; the question definitely implied that the 2 older men being known “gays” wouldn’t hesitate to proposition a young, handsome man and couldn’t possible just have a dinner, a conversation, or business meeting without doing so. In Mr Lautner’s case it has crossed the line from inquisitiveness regarding his sexuality, to badgering and relentless hounding. Enough already.

A profound comment. If you’re gay and continually hit on for it, its homophobic bigots at work. But if your straight and continually sucker punched by both straights who just know and by gays who just know and both of whom feel its their duty to “out” you, thats ok. The stress and pressure from this along with all the other notoriety with his celeb standing has to be enormous, and he’s what 19, for shame. I agree litebrite this interviewer basically had him in a corner, fess up, or your going to be the cause of bringing more sensationalized speculation on the other two men involved in this story. He seems like a really nice kid.
