..as noted, she competed on the Junior Grand Prix this year. The interview linked is over 2 years old.


I don't pay attention to Juniors. 🤷 But also I was hoping for more details. Thanks, @Sylvia for all those links!

2012 World pairs bronze medallist Narumi Takahashi has come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community at a Pride House Tokyo event.

Just says Narumi, not "medalists".
Allezfred did use the singular verb "has come out" ;) (and Narumi Takahashi's partner in 2012 is not Japanese).

Her machine translated quote from the article:
Takahashi said, "I think I'm a Q who doesn't belong in the LGBT category." Q is defined as "queer" who has a sexual orientation/gender identity that does not fall under L (lesbian), G (gay), B (bisexual), or T (transgender), or "whose sexual orientation or gender identity is undefined." refers to questioning.

I live across the street and in the neighborhood of a few of Hollywood celebrities from this era and my mom was always into tab Hunter she loved him and I’m watching this video on him now.

his first boyfriend was a figure skater Ronnie Robertson. They mentioned it around the nine minute mark, does anybody have any background on him?


I actually just finished watching the rest of the video and he must’ve been boyfriends with this figure skater for a while because around the 18 minute mark they mention he goes on an ice-skating vacation with his boyfriend and that was well after he got the job that James Dean, and Paul Newman tested for but did not get. He was already a Warner Bros. star now.

Wow, the story of tab Hunter has all the parallelisms of showtimes fellow travelers with Matt Bomer that’s on right now that’s excellent.
