Lee Pace & Richard Armitage (aka Richlee, haha)

[PalJoey]

Nah. Looks like they're 100% closeted.

[Revolutionary]

no… really? I mean, yes, technically glass closets are still closets, but it is also a tongue in cheek oxymoron type thing. And that's on a different level compared to being deeply, truly closeted. IDK. Percentages of closeted-ness, that can be such an abstract concept, don't you think?

Lee has always appeared openly gay to me. He's never bearded, was out and about on the civilian dating scene when he was younger, and was with one particular boyfriend for a long time, back when i was a bigger fan of his and more knowledgeable. As for Richard-not so much. Couldn't say for sure, just seems much more shy and introverted a person than Lee. I guess I would need to do a lot more 'research' but my impression is that they are pretty openly a couple, it's just that they're both more under the radar and neither court the media. and the media doesn't really court them...

[Jay Lerner-Z]

What radar is this?

[PalJoey]

You're not really revolutionary, you know. Just loquacious.

[Revolutionary]

haha, i am aren't i? i'm sorry, recuperating from minor surgery, moved to a new apt, taking a lot of norcos, and i've been couch bound for 4 days. And I said i wanted to chatty chat loud and clear! datalounge has been inundated w unhinged 40 yr old obese stalker matrons lately. i needed a change of scenery.

ps- and i have been 'researching' by the way. i'm sorry but you're so wrong! They are totally out to colleagues, family, friends, acquaintances and probably every person in their lives, just not to the press. I consider that 95% not closeted.

[FindingNamo]

Liza's Headband is on Datalounge?

[Revolutionary]

is that a bww user? lol

I bet 100% of you guys all creep the data lounge

[FindingNamo]

I don't understand all the verbs of the young people of today.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I wonder what LeeChard up to tonight.

[Revolutionary]

frenetic rough sex

in my dreams

Food for thought:

"This is often what is said when public figures do or do not come out: there is a greater obligation that must be met beyond what that person might ordinarily choose to meet. We make these demands, though, without considering how much less privacy that person might have not only because they are a public figure but also because they are part of an underrepresented group. I am not suggesting that we cry for the celebrity who enjoys a lush lifestyle; I am saying we should give thought to the celebrity who would prefer to keep his marriage to a man private for whatever reason, but isn’t allowed that right, a right that is, for heterosexuals, inalienable."

Well, feel free to take another fistful of narcos and chatty-chat your trashy self back to Datalounge. BroadwayWorld doesn't go for dopes and dope.

[Wildcard]

I'm sure their families and close circle of friends know what the deal is. They don't need to make a formal announcement to the rest of the world. If that's what being "closeted" means, that's fine with me. It's only those people close to you that truly matter anyway

[Revolutionary]

i'm sorry pal joey. Really was just making some convo. I can't be talking to the voices in my head the entire day.

Anyway, closets, hello cliched banality, but it is always complicated no matter who you are, public figure or not. and sometimes formal announcements and big statements can be… maybe a bit egotistical or tacky or completely irrelevant in some circumstances.

[PalJoey]

No. Not all celebrity comings out are "big statements" or "formal announcements."

More and more, they're small acknowledgments, but large with dignity and integrity.

[Revolutionary]

sometimes! in some circumstances!

[MTVMANN]

I like looking at their pants!

[Auggie27]

Random: I thought Pace looked eerily like Jason Lee ("Earl") in NORMAL HEART.

[wicked1492]

I can't believe no one else has pointed out how incredibly photoshopped that first picture is... Definitely some tumblr troll's poorly realized wet dream.

[everythingtaboo]

This pic made it to Just Jared, and he's pretty good about not posting just about anything. Of course, they don't have to come out. But we'd like to officially be jealous of sharing their hotness with (assumedly) only each other.

[Playbilly]

He's in Guardians of the Galaxy. Lee will be famous in no time.
