Tatum Comes out as Bisexual; it is the Best of Times. McBride Writes a Book on Contemporary Masculinity; it is the Worst of Times | The Closet | The Subdivision | 2026 | Digital Photocollage | James Behan
Is Tatum a bottom? Is McBride’s book on contemporary masculinity fiction or nonfiction? And that scene in This Is The End — was it the start of something beautiful or merely tawdry? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Blue Moon isn’t saying. 💙
What we do know is this: two men, two very different relationships with masculinity, two excursions into territory the culture is still trying to map.
Channing Tatum came out as bisexual. The universe exhaled. Somewhere a million gay men who had quietly suspected as much since Magic Mike simply nodded. One man opened a door.
Danny McBride wrote a book about contemporary masculinity. Given his body of work the line between fiction and nonfiction feels blurry at best. One man wrote a book about the door without quite walking through it.
Two men. One cultural moment. The conversation about masculinity, desire and what lives between them has never been louder — or more unresolved.
There’s a whole lot going on in this collage, because there is a whole lot going on in the world.
The times? Mix and Match!
