Lisa Rinna and Kelly Dodd were engaged in a petty feud on Tuesday as they both made insinuations that their respective husbands are gay.Using being gay as a slur - which is a form of homophobia - the Real Housewives of Orange County alum Dodd, 47, accused Rinna's husband Harry Hamlin of being homosexual, by referencing rumors surrounding Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisley's sexuality.It has been claimed that Chrisley, 53, had a same-sex affair with his business partner Mark Braddock in the early 2000s despite being married to his wife, and Dodd made a comment on Instagram writing: 'Harry Hamlin is next,' alongside a cry-laughing emoji.

Just Like Us, people across the UK have postponed coming out due to ‘harmful’ stereotypes, with 68% of lesbians delaying coming out due to stereotypes about being ‘man-hating’, ‘unattractive’ and even ‘anti-trans’.But why is it so hard for lesbians to come out as lesbians? What exactly is wrong with the L word? Why was I so scared of it, and why nearly 10 years after I finally used the word to proudly describe myself, are so many people still scared to use it?Over the last few months, I’ve been an assistant producer on the Channel 4 documentary ‘Where Have All The Lesbians Gone?’ where we tried to answer these questions.

Last Week Tonight when it came to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his attacks against Disney.The GOP governor signed a bill last month that stripped Disney World of its special self-governing status in response to the company speaking out against that state's “don’t say gay” law.After the bill was signed by DeSantis, the Walt Disney Company was quick to release a statement vowing to help repeal the contentious law. The special status Disney World held started in 1967 and had served to let Disney economically boost central Florida while allowing the company millions in tax breaks and annual fees, according to Vanity Fair.“Yeah, it’s true: In the part of central Florida where Disney World is, the company technically functions as a self-contained government, providing essential services — except, crucially, a morgue,” Oliver joked.

There is no “right time” to come out of the closet, but judging by the reaction to one woman’s story, there might be a few “wrong times.”In an anonymous Reddit post titled “Am I the a**hole (AITA) for throwing a ‘tantrum’ after my brother came out at my wedding?”, the woman, 27, explained that she came out as a lesbian to her homophobic parents when she was 12 years old, and that it took them years to accept.It also caused her younger brother, Olly, to become her parents’ de facto “golden child.” “It made my relationship with Olly a little salty,” she wrote.She explained that her parents and Olly attended her recent wedding, which she described as a “welcoming environment” with many queer people in attendance.During the reception, she noticed a commotion coming from her family’s table. Her brother, now 23, had just come out to their parents as gay.“Olly took advantage of the moment to come out (nothing new, I had doubted his sexuality since he was a child, but it wasn’t up to me to expose it),” the post read.
