And his other recent Instagram posts suggest he's officially out of the closet, too.

[Sutton Ross]

Well, since he married Tiler Peck, that would mean he is part of the LGBTQIA+ family. He, his flowers, and his dancing are all gorgeous!

[CATSNYrevival]

He wasn't out?

[poisonivy2]

But he and Ashley Day broke up

I laugh because Hinge (a dating app) actually suggested him as a match for me.

[SmoothLover]

He is quite adorable. Is he a friendly and warm individual?

Couldn’t tell ya. He never responded. Lol

[Kad]

He’s been out for several years now...

[SmoothLover]

God love him for coming up with another way to make some money given the industry closures. He probably could charge high prices given his notoriety. He should attach his hand written signature to his creations.

Maybe within the community, but not publicly.

[Sutton Ross]

He only separated from Tiler three years ago. So, not really several years. That post wasn't really a declaration of anything other than loving dance and celebrating Pride month anyways.

I'm sure the arrangements look better in real life.

That bitchy statement was totally unnecessary, and while I'm feeling testy I am so tired of the tired old expression of 'coming out of the closet' - so 1950s. Also the joy and excitement that some on here squeel? with delight when learning about some strangers sex life. Does it REALLY make a difference to YOUR life if they are 'one of your crew' or matter where they put their dixk??

If you're at the other end, only then does it matter.

I have a friend who is a florist.  We say of her that she is able to take one single flower and somehow turn it into an entire beautiful bouquet.  It's a combination of skill and talent and who knows what.  I have seen Robbie's floral work only here in this thread.  But just this glimpse shows his skill and talent.  It's wonderful.  I admire the man for getting out there and earning a living.  What purpose does it serve to ridicule him here?

That bouquet he posted on instagram is beautiful! A man of many talents. I love seeing performers hone other skills and create new ways for themselves to be creative. So versatile!

I’m sure he’s very versatile ...

[FindingNamo]

A bitchy comment unnecessary? Doll, all bitchy comments are unnecessary, that is half the point. I just do not think those two arrangements photographed well. I am sure they had to look better in real life. I will admit to being unversed in British floral sensibilities, which could be my ultimate downfall. 

For those who care to have an actual understanding of gay history, please be advised that "out of the closet" was NOT a 1950s expression. It was first used in the 1960s, according to George Chauncey's unmissable book, "Gay New York." Everyone but the unmentioned poster above should check that book out.  The things one learns.

[Sutton Ross]

Again, he was with a woman for 15 years so, once again, he is part of the LGBTQ community.

Oop. lol...

Good save FN, got out of that floral 'sensibilities' with a 'flowery flourish'.

Oops! closet reference ! a wild stab in the dark[had a few of those in the good old days--perhaps FN missed out on all the fun while trying on frocks, or pants[could be a female] in the closet] and missed it by 10years--not a bad guess, but now my life can go forward with all that really unnecessary knowledge.

Thanks FN, a worthy and well respected contributor here on BBW.

I've contacted him about doing the flowers for my Harmonia-Gardens-themed 75th birthday party. His prices are quite reasonable.

[Jarethan]

i hope your birthday is not too soon.  Sucks to have a celebration that has to be so constrained.  My wife turned 70 last week; although she did get a lot of cards and more flowers than she expected, it was not the same as it would have been a year ago...since we did not venture North this summer (why fly or drive 1,500 miles if you are still going to quarantine?), no close friends or family were around even for a socially distanced celebration.

Happy 75th, whenever it is.

PS -- to the person with the snarky comment re the arrangements, i think you are just looking for somethings to look down on...they looked beautiful to me, and different.
