After Magic Mike was such a success with gay audiences, and after Channing Tatum was seen dancing at L.A. Pride in 2015, fans started to wonder if he was gay (or at least bi). Fashion editor Merle Ginsberg even dubbed Tatum a "stromo" (a "straight homo," that is, a celebrity who leans into the queer gaze for fame) in a 2015 Hollywood Reporter article. Fake posts circulating on the internet claiming that he'd come out didn't help settle the matter!

While we don't officially know Tatum's sexual orientation, we can follow his relationship history from the last few decades: he is currently engaged to actor Zoë Kravitz, his partner since 2021. He has also been romantically linked to Jessi J, whom he dated from 2018 to 2019, and Jenna Dewan, whom he became involved with in 2006, eventually married, and divorced in 2018.

Tatum himself hasn't officially confirmed his sexual orientation, so we shouldn't assume anything; however, some fans still believe he could be gay or bi. What do you think?

How to get the clean girl aesthetic as a lazy girl
So I'm super low-maintenance normally and don't really spend a ton of time putting together looks, but I really want to try this "clean girl" aesthetic that I've seen around. I like, barely have a morning routine for getting ready and taking care of myself, so what are some easy tips that I could try to have the aesthetic? Are their certain makeup trends or products that I need to use to be a "clean girl?" Tysm ahead of time!

My mother doesn’t think I’m trans
I told my mom I’m trans a few days ago and she said she doesn’t think I’m trans and she even found an article about how autistic people may struggle with their gender identity. She doesn’t even know what’s going on in my mind yet she acts like she does. What do I do?

New wlw relationship for a berriromantic asexual teen
Me and my Girlfriend are both in the closet. We are newly dating (think less than a month) and I have NEVER been in a relationship before. She has had a few boyfriends (one for 2.5 years!!!) But has never dated a female-aligned person. We have been friends for a while though. My biggest fear is that 1. I'm not going to be able to be good enough for her OR 2. I won't do enough for our relationship/I'll do too little. Any advice???

What do you if you're gay/lesbian and in a homophobic environment?
My family (even my extended family) are homophobic and the here is problem I'm lesbian. I haven't come out to them but dropped somewhat subtle hints. My dad is pretty homophobic and my mom would disapprove of me having a crush on anyone, let alone a girl. Generally everyone in my family would disgusted/confused/homophobic if I ever came out. On top of that, the girl I have a crush on is my best friend. She has shown signs of liking me back. Most of my friends know I have a crush on her, but I just haven't officially come out to them (they already kind of know). How am I supposed to come out to my family?

How do I tell if I'm lesbian or bisexual?
This quiz said I "might" be a lesbian. I definitely know that I like girls but I only sometimes think that I like guys. And while I think that some guys are attractive, I don't get butterflies thinking about them the same way I do when I think about women. Am I a lesbian or am I bisexual? How did you know that you're a lesbian?
