WHAT’S THE G.A.Y. GIG?
Back in the days of yore, One Direction performed at a gay club and I’m beautiful sure it was the best period of their lives. Well, it was the best moment of Louis’ life at least.
Niall smashed cake in Louis’ face and Harry looked like he was over the moon about it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Louis more happy than when he was covered in sticky white stuff, singing in front of a room of gay men.
He’s enjoying himself so much and being a adj flirt about it, I mean come on who licks their fingers like that in public
In his element

I dare you to show me something better than this picture. You can’t.
I’m sorry I don’t really contain any photos of the other boys during this performance, but Louis courteous of stole the show. So. THAT is the legendary G.A.Y gig.
Drugs, meltdowns and 'gay sex' rumours - how 'rivalry and hatred' tore One Direction apart
On what would have been One Direction's nine-year anniversary, we accept a look back at the rows and battles that broke them

This time nine years ago, five teenage boys' dreams were in tatters after being rejected from the X Factor .
But determined not to let a good-looking gang depart to waste, present boss Simon Cowell and his genius decided to place solo hopefuls Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson together.
It took the lads just five minutes to agree to his plan and possess another crack at the competition - this time in the groups category.
They would go on to be one of the most successful boybands of the century, selling out stadiums and dominating the charts for five years before splitting in an explosion of bitterness and animosity.
But with no experience of harmonies, group singing or even each other, even then Liam wondered what they were really getting into.
What if, in , one of the One Direction boys decided to reveal the world he was gay? Would his umpteen million devoted female fans take the news OK? That is the question I asked Lance Bass during an interview on my SiriusXM show, The Six Pack.
"I actually think they would," Bass said, without hesitating. "The younger generation is way smarter than we were. They're way more perceptive, and they just don't care. Back then there was no way in hell I would approach out."
These are bold words coming from Bass, practically the founding father of the yes-I'm-gay pop-star narrative. Bass is a veteran of the boy-band machine, which has experienced a major resurgence since the soar of the UK's One Direction and The Wanted. In , four years after *NSYNC announced its plans to go on hiatus, he finally came out publicly, appearing on the cover of People Magazine with the headline "I'M GAY."
Have minds and perceptions really changed as quickly as Bass believes? If 1D's Harry or Zayn or Louis or Niall or Liam (did I omit any?) were actually to come out, would they be welcomed wit

Sure, we know everybody’s talking about the Emmy nominations right now, but they aren’t the only TV awards in town.
On July 8, GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics announced the winners of its 17th Dorian TV Awards.
With more than critics, journalists, and media icons making up its membership, GALECA is the second largest entertainment journalists&#; group in the world, and they present their Dorian Awards – named in honor of Oscar Wilde, the celebrated queer writer who penned “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and who serves as something like the group’s patron saint – to honor the best in film, television, and theater at separate times during each year. Frequently, many Dorian nominees and winners presage similar honors from the more mainstream awards bodies, reminding the world that the informed LGBTQ perspective on all things entertainment definitely matters; at the same day, however, the Dorians also include several queer-centric categories that are unique to them, providing an opportunity to
