A German-born Turkish pop singer has been accused by dozens of complainants in Turkey of blackmailing them with their secret gay love affairs.

The complainants, including public servants, engineers, doctors and the nephew of a former Turkish minister, said they had met Duman on gay dating websites.

Because he didn't want to! As a black gay fan of Marvel I never felt like it was totally needed.  Why?  The Mutant story line so closely paralled the Civil Rights/LGBTQ movement without saying "this is a parallel"  But in his own words Stan said:

Back in 2015 the Marvel creator sat down with SheKnows and explained it never ‘occurred’ to him to make one of them gay.

‘No, I really have not,’ the 92-year-old said. ‘I don’t think it’s necessary to have every type of person in the world in the stories.’

Stan Lee, the creator behind many Marvel Comics characters, has died at 95. 

According to TMZ, as well as The Hollywood Reporter, Lee was transported from his Hollywood Hills home Monday morning and was taken to the hospital where he later died. 

Lee started at Marvel Comics (then known as Timely Comics) in 1939 as an assistant.

Later in the 1960's he, with Jack Kirby, created The Fantastic Four as well as Spider Man, Black Panther, the X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, and many more. 

Grey’s Anatomy actor Jake Borelli just came out as gay, at the same time the character he plays came out as bisexual.

Borelli plays Levi Schmitt, who kisses Nico Kim (Alex Landi) in the hallway of the latest episode. His character reveals he’s never kissed a man before.

Then the 27-year-old actor took to Instagram to share his own coming out story.

Last night (1 November), Borelli wrote: ‘As a gay guy myself, tonight’s episode was so special to me.

Channeling Isis aka Gabrielle Union and the rest of the Clovers, Jamal and his friends really got into the Halloween spirit with this fully realized idea.  They even did a full cheer routine!  Check it out below.  Also tell the one with the beard to call us, we trying to see something...
