“Drat, old chap, certainly didn’t mean to put the old block-and-tackle there. Dreadfully sorry about that!”
Not that Stephen would have minded.
Why do you think that? Do you disbelieve Stephen Fry’s public statements that he never had romantic or sexual feelings towards Hugh Laurie? Or are you assuming that because he is gay, Fry must just love any man’s junk shoved in his face?
It was a cheap shot, and you ought to have had second thoughts about publishing it.
I personally don’t care if Cawthorn is secretly gay or bi, except insofar as it affected any policy decisions or his public political statements on such things as equal rights for LGBTQ people. Now that his career is effectively over, it seems fairly moot.
My comment was based was based on the theory that many people don’t mind exposure to the naked portions of bodies of the gender they find desirable - similar to het-cis men liking to look at naked breasts (we don’t all like it, but many do).
But, not my community so I probably should have refrained.
Oddly but probably reasonably, ISTM that there’s often more distaste for that sort of generic “phwoarrr!”-type joke applied to people in a close but nonsexual relationship than when it’s applied to mutually unknown randos.
Consequently, saying that well-known gay actor Stephen Fry might have rather enjoyed accidentally getting a facefull of another hot young actor’s genitals sounds kinda funny in a sort of bawdy nightclub-comic way. But saying that Fry might have enjoyed getting the same sort of facefull from his lifelong platonic friend and comedy partner Hugh Laurie sounds a bit gross and predatory.
Similarly, it would be sort of funny to say that the heterosexual actor Warren Beatty, in his hot and horndoggy youth, wouldn’t have minded seeing some pretty young actress’s boobs during a nude scene on set. But saying that Beatty wouldn’t have minded a nude-scene glimpse of the boobs of the young Shirley MacLaine, for example, would come across as quite repulsive, given that MacLaine is his sister.
(this is a completely unjustifiable hijack that has nothing to do with Cawthorn anyway, sorry, I am going away now)
Take Cawthorn with you. But you come back.
As an aside, I’m now imagining a “lost” Jeeves and Wooster episode where Bertie has stumbled his way into yet another unwanted engagement and has gone on holiday in some far-flung tropical outpost to get away, where the locals confuse him and Jeeves for a couple, but then the bride-to-be shows up with the wedding party in tow and he has to keep up appearances to both groups at once.
Somehow it ends with the two driving away in the back of a cab, Bertie in morning dress and Jeeves in a white bridal gown, and Bertie says “Well, at least I didn’t have to kiss you,” to which Jeeves responds with a knowing eye-roll to the camera.
Well, nobody’s perfect
That sounds a little like Arrested Development, where Jason Bateman and his real-life sister, Justine, were rumored to be playing love interests for each other.
Why am I not surprised?

It’s sort of like how Lauren Boebert circumnavigated the globe (and then some!) in order to earn the reimbursement check she needed to pay off business tax liens.
Grifters gonna grift.
Boebert is a grade-school drop-out, isn’t she? I doubt that she is mathematically literate.
Hey, she figured out the miles needed to claim to get the amount she needed for the tax lien. That takes math (unless she had someone figure it out for her).
You mock, but she earned that GED months before taking office!
You’d think MTG was a pre-school drop-out but she actually has a degree from the U of Georgia which I recommend you avoid at all costs.
Miss Peach Tree Dishes - good grief.
That reminds me of Gary Johnson not knowing what Aleppo was.
What is a leppo?
