Matthew Beem hitchhikes n*de takes a polar plunge, builds secret rooms to spy on his internet star friends. With four of their d*cks

 

Link to the d*cks

I grew up before the internet, so I instinctively think of entertainment as books, movies, and tv programs written and performed by professionals and distributed by corporations. But there's a whole world out there of short form, amateur videos that I had no idea existed. 

Topper Guild posts stories about saving his friend from an evil cult, surviving the strictest school in the world, and so on to his 88 million subscribers.

Matthew Beem, who has "only" eight million subscribers, does wacky DIY projects, like turning his room into a fishbowl, or a building a minecraft maze for his hamster. 

The first two episodes of his Hulu series, Matthew Beem Creator Essentials, introduced me to more multi-million subscriber Internet stars.

 

Episode 1: Matthew renovates iShowSpeed's tour bus, and adds a secret room so he can spy on the dude as he...um...does things.  He's discovered almost immediately, but still, I have to wonder, what was he hoping to see?

IShowSpeed, real name Darren Jason Watkins, Jr. started with gaming, and moved into livestreaming and rap music, gaining 53 million subscribers. He has livestreamed in 67 countries. The Speed Goes Pro tour ended with a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. 

Plus he's won about a dozen Streamer Awards.  And posted pictures of his d*ck. Maybe that's what Matthew wanted to see in his secret room.

In Episode 2. Matthew and his crew do some home improvement projects for his internet star friends:

A custom dog house for Salish Matter, who started with posts about her daily skincare routine, gaining 3.5 million subscribers.  She started her own skincare brand at age 16, and also posts about gymnastics and family "matters" with her father, Jordan (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

Next Matthew and his crew create a gaming room for the Costco Guys, including mock-ups of their Juiceful packages, a giant chocolate chip cookie, and the world's biggest Pokemon card.

Olly Rhodes: Two soap opera murderers, one with a bare bum, two gay teens, one just coming out, and two c*cks

  

Link to the n*de photos

I decided to profile Olly Rhodes (no relation to Robert Rhodes) based on a photo on the teen idol site: black and white, grinning shyly at his boyfriend. And this one, hugging him.  Olly is either gay in real life or is playing a gay character.

Olly grew up in Scarborough, a seaside town in Yorkshire, and graduated from the Pendleton School of Theater (like a secondary school in the U.S.),  in 2021.  

He moved directly into the role of Joseph Holmes on the soap Hollyoakes (2021-22).  His parents discover that he is having a secret romance with his foster sister, Vicky, so they send her away -- to Hollyoakes.  Joseph follows, to continue abusing Vicky and terrorize her good buddy, DeMarcus, presuming that they are secetly dating.

He shows his bare bum in his first on-screen role.

Later he murders police officer Saul Reeves (Chris Charles, left), and frames DeMarcus to get him out of the way.  But he kept Saul's ring, which leads to his arrest and confession.  He leaves the series crying in his jail cell.

After guest spots in The Last Kingdom and All Creatures Great and Small, Olly was cast in a recurring role on Waterloo Road (2024-25).  He plays headmaster's son Billy Savage, who is bedeviled by the bully and child abuse survivor Schuey  (Zak Sutcliffe, right).  Don't worry, Olly states that they became good friends off-camera.

After numerous incidents, Billy sets a wire trap across a road, so Schuey will be thrown off his bike and humiliated.  But he accidentally catches -- and kills -- Schuey's non-bullying sidekick Boz.  

Dad plants evidence in Schuey's locker so he'll be blamed for the murder, but eventually he and Billy are both arrested, and leave the series. 

Departures (2025) sounds like one of those "dying of AIDS" tearjerkers from the 1980s, but the title refers to the departures gate at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, where Benji and Jake (Lloyd Eyre-Morgan, David Tag, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) meet and fall in love.  

Olly plays the teenage Benji.  The trailer shows him kissing his boyfriend, but it goes by too fast to get a screenshot.

Nick Stahl: A career of playing scarred, traumatized teens, with being gay as one of the traumas. Plus zombies, DeKay d*ck, and a gl*ry hole

Link to the n*de photos

In the summer of 2001, everybody in the East Village was talking about Bully, starring 22-year old Nick Stahl.  The South Florida teenager beats up his friend Marty (Brad Renfro), assaults him, and humiliates him by forcing him to become an entertainer in a gay bar. They even make an adult video to sell in gay bookstores.

 Bobby also assaults Marty's girlfriend Ali, while forcing her to watch gay movies and when his own girlfriend Lisa announces that she is pregnant with Marty's child, watch out!  The three friends set out to deadify him, with the help of Ali's new boyfriend (Michael Pitt).

It was not a pretty movie -- girl parts outnumber boy parts ten to one, and the gay world is portrayed as unfailingly sordid and decadent.  Nevertheless, every gay magazine -- In Touch, XY, The Advocate -- gave it a favorable review as a cautionary tale about the effects of internalized homophobia.  If only Bobby had the guts to come out...

Nick was born in Harlingen, Texas, in 1979 (Texas...ugh!), moved to L.A. in 1992, and was cast in a few small roles before his big break, playing opposite the then-famous Mel Gibson in The Man Without a Face (1993).  The Man and the boy are both gay in the original novel by Isabelle Holland, but straight in the movie.

My Son is Innocent (1996), Eye of God (1997), Promised Land (1997), and Disturbing Behavior (1998) cast Nick as scarred, traumatized, victimized, violent teenagers, leading to Bully.  Afterwards he did a horror movie (Taboo, 2002) and a true crime (Bookies, 2003), but found himself being manipulated by older women (In the Bedroom), doing stuff with men but denying being gay (Twist), or murdering young girls (Sin City). Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) must have come as a welcome relief.

In the Terminator mythos, John Connor manages to save the human world after it is destroyed by a sentient internet, so Arnold Schwarzenegger is sent back in time (n*ked) to kill him.  In T3, he returns (n*ked) as an ally, to protect young adult John and his future wife Kate (who is unfortunately engaged to someone else). 

Nick was the second actor to play John Connor.  There have been several others, including Thomas Dekker (n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) and Christian Bale.

Carnivale (2023-25) features paranormal beings working in a carnival during the Dust Bowl of Depression-era Oklahoma.  Nick plays Ben Hawkins, a farmer, chain gang fugitive, and healer who joins the carnival and eventually becomes an Avatar of Light.  He's hetero, but one of his girlfriends, Sofie, is a lesbian.

Tim DeKay (left) plays Jonesy, who runs the ferris wheel, and Michael J. Anderson, the backwards-talking dwarf on Twin Peaks, his boss, Samson.

"The Dating Game": A Barbie-obsessed bi Thai guy falls for the boss at his gaming company. With two gay romances and some Thai d*cks

 

 Link to the n*de dudes

When I was a kid, The Dating Game asked female contestants to choose from three "eligible bachelors" who they could talk to but not see, by asking them a series of weird questions: "What is your favorite type of iguana?" "If you were an ice cream cone, what would you say to me?" "Do you have any friends who are descended from Henry VIII?"  

I never watched, because it was a game show (ugh!), and entirely heteronormative.  Sometimes they had guys choosing from three "bachelorettes," but never a guy choosing a guy.  

But the Thai tv series The Dating Game (2025) is a BL, about two men falling in love in a world where everyone is gay.  It's not even a quesiton.  And there's none of the closeting, rejection, homophobia, and endless angst of Wester gay dramas.  

I can't wait to see a cute guy choosing from among three eligible bachelors. 

Scene 1: Hill awakens in a room cluttered with images of Yuka: a pink-haired anime girl.   He tells his Yuka AI how much he loves her, then gets dressed and walks out onto the street, where a real girl asks him out.  "Nope, I already have a girlfriend."  Dude's got a problem.  Wait -- how is this BL?  He's obviously straight.

Scene 2:  Nice view of downtown Bangkok.  After his morning workout (nice chest), Hill goes to work -- his first day at Prismstar, a tech company that created the "Yuka! Love me!" video game.  So that's why you want to work there?

A woman named Milk shows him around.  It's an open office plan.  Workers are designing various charactersm including a cute salaryman and a barbarian.  

Bay (a guy) approaches and criticizes Milk for being old and out-of-touch.  She swipes back: "You'll be 25 too, some day!"  Har-har, wait until you turn 50. Or 60..  Or...

The mean-looking Boss appears, and does that "stepping out of your way" dance, as Hill stares in Boy-of-My-Dreams intensity.  The others tell him to not get his hopes up: the Boss is not as nice as he looks.  He fired the last game designer. 

Scene 3: Hill's cubicle is loaded down with religious and magical icons, including a voodoo doll of the Boss.  Apparently the old designer wasn't happy.  I can relate.I spent almost a year at the Getty Consternation Institute, being constantly humiliated: "Write a ten-page report and put my name on it."

Next it's time for a staff meeting.  Hill brings out his image of Yuka to pray to, which everyone finds weird.  So do I.  

Boss announces a "Bye Bye Yuka Day": they're canceling the Yuka game and the merch.  

Hill jumps to his feet.  "But..you can't phase her out!  Yuka and I are in love!  We met through the game, but now we're in a real relationship!"  

Everyone is shocked.  Me, too: this guy is psychotic. 

"But no one else is in love with her.  No new downloads.  Nobody is buying the merch." 

"That's not true.  Millions of guys are in love with her.  You'll destroy their happiness!"  But they've downloaded the game. Can't they continue to play?

The Boss suggests that he take his love for Yuka and channel it into something...non-psychotic.  Like being in charge of the "Bye Bye Yuka Day" events.  Kudos to the Boss for not discriminating against the mentally ill, but how is a story about a guy in love with an anime girl BL?  

Scene 4: Hill sits at his desk, distraught over the upcoming loss of his girlfriend.  Coworker Bay tells him that video games are created by a team, who put some of themselves into the character.  Maybe he can find what he loves about Yuka in "a hot guy like me." 

 Left: I think Hill ends up with someone else.

Scene 5: Lunchtime.  Hill is crying at his desk when the Boss drops by.  He explains that this company runs by Japanese rules: everything done at its proper time.  This is the time for eating, not crying.  He hands Hill his lunch.  When I was working at the Getty Consternation Institute, we got two crying breaks per day, but you could also cry during lunch, if you wanted.

He manages to do a little work, creating a poster for Bye Bye Yuka Day.

Scene 6: Hill is back home, ready for another romantic evening with the anime Yuka.  He holds her tightly -- his cell phone, anyway -- and tells her that he loves her.

Cut to the Boss, at home in his pajamas, looking up Hill's game statistics.  He's impressed. But he doesn't like the poster designs.  He calls Hill and orders him to come to the office, right away.  

"But it's late...oh, it's 5:00 am.  I've been crying all night.  Sure, I'll be right there."

Scene 7: When the Boss orders you to the office right away, what do you do?  Right, go to the gym first.  When Hill finally shows up, the Boss tells him that the Bye Bye Yuka Day poster is awful.  It looks like a funeral. 

The Boss is n*de on RG Beefcake and boyfriends. 

  

"Well, millions of guys will be losing their True Loves, so we should get a chance to mourn."

"No, I understand that you are sad about losing your girlfriend, but Yuka is a joyful, positive character. Make it a joyful event."

"Sorry, I just love her so much, I'll need some time."  He starts crying.  

The Boss feels sorry for him, and asks him out. 

"Go out with a real human person?  I don't know..."

"Come on, we can do anything you want."

Scene 8: Hill's idea of a fun date: being blessed by a Buddhist monk. 

"You two are well matched in destiny," he points out.  "I hope you cherish each other for life."

"Oh, no, we're not together...um..."

Next they stop for pork skewers and sticky rice. The Boss is too upper-class for street food, but Hill insists -- and accidentally crunches his very expensive sunglasses.

Aaron Moody: Who has the monster c*ck, the Nip/Tuck fratboy or the Swindon reserve goal keeper? With two backsides and a lot of c*cks

Link to the n*de photos

I swear, I did it right this time.  Searching for short videos on the n*de celebrity site, I found Aaron Moody displaying an enormous c*ck.  So big that it was rather shocking, and I've seen a lot of them.

I've been fooled before with videos of non-actors, so I immediately checked the IMDB, and found that Aaron Moody had six acting roles.  His professional resume listed several more.

Ok, we were good to go on a profile.

Aaron was born on December 18, 1979 in Grants Pass, Oregon, in the far south of the state, near the California border.  As a teenager he had starring roles in The Tell Tale Heart, Philadelphia Here I Come, and Twelfth Night.  After graduating from high school in 1998, he moved to Los Angeles, took acting lessons, and started auditioning.

In 2000 his commercial for the Volkswagon Cabrio won a Cleo Award, and hit  #48 on the Cosmo list of "S*xiest Stuff Ever."  The guy and his girlfriend drive their Cabrio through the darkness to a house party, where everyone is impressed.

Aaron's tv debut came the same year, on an episode of Crime Strike: a recreation of real-life events where "heroic citizens" used guns to defend themselves against aggressors. Sounds like a validation of the Tough on Crime Movement, which gave the U.S. the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Next came a short, The Truth about Beef Jerky (2002): Count Nugent (a parody of singer Ted Nugent) lures a group of hippies with the promise of a music festival, but he and his right-wing pals are really going to kill the "deviants" and turn them into beef jerky.  

The short is available for streaming on Youtube: Aaron plays the hackey-sack playing Paul, who is eviscerated by Count Nugent's arrows.  

Filmmaker Fritz Junker was definitely on the side of the hippies: "I spent six months researching Nugent's lifestyle. He's a total and complete lunatic."

Aaron's next major on-screen role came in a 2005 episode of the plastic-surgery show Nip/Tuck: Christian is called in to perform emergency surgery on a fraternity hazing ritual gone wrong: Alex (Aaron) and another pledge had their cheeks super-glued to the backside of Derek (Adam Henderschott). 

I went through the entire episode on fast-forward, to see if Aaron returns.  Later Christian (Julian McMahon, top photo) shows his backside, savagely criticizes a guy for being bi, says that his girlfriend is "my property" (she agrees), and tells us that "the traditional ways are the best: marriage should consist of one man and one woman."  Holy cow, the guy is a sexist, homophobic bigot. Apparently the show was well known for its homophobia.

In 2006 Aaron played a dialogue replacement actor in John Tucker Must Die and a reporter in Love, Hollywood Style: "four intertwining stories filled with fantasy, set in the entertainment industry on Valentine's Day."  I haven't found a plot synopsis online.

Next came two plays: 

The Speed of Darkness: Two Vietnam veterans have a terrible secret that could destroy their lives (no, it's not being gay).

Thursday: A drama about a lady who lost her leg in the London bombing.

And two short films:

Chope (2007): A young man deals with the death of his mother.

Cessation (2009): Matt (Ben Shields) thinks that he met the Girl of His Dreams, but she turns into a monster.

And "loop group" for Adventures in Appletown (2009), starring Cole and Dylan Sprouse from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

After 2009, Aaron's acting record ends abruptly.  He has no social media presence.  I found his sister, living back in Grants Pass, but she doesn't mention him.  Did he die, or get his realtor's license and vanish into civilian life?  

Something was wrong.  Why would you post a lot of n*de photos and videos, but nothing else?

Also, he takes selfies.   Smartphones didn't become popular until the 2010s.

Could the photos be of another celebrity named Aaron Moody?

There are many other Aaron Moodys out there.  I found a golfer, a college football player, a musician, a graphic designer, a corrections officer, a high schooler in my home town, and lots of guys "married to the most beautiful, wonderful girl in the universe."  But which was famous enough to get his photos on a "n*de celebrity" website?

Could this be the "celebrity" Aaron Moody? He's a football (soccer) player.  Born in 1995, he attended the Swindown FC Academy, where "boys from U7 to U16 compete in the Elite Professional Club Programme."  He joined the Swindon Town League in 2013 as a Reserve Goal Keeper.  

The Reserve Goal Keeper replaces the starting goal keeper if he is injured or does not perform properly.  

So, a back-up player.  Doesn't sound very famous.

The full profile, with a lot of monster c*cks and two backsides, is on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Matt Crabtree: Shy, quiet, stuttering Southern boy grows up to "Modern Family," "Will and Grace," one-man shows, and d*cks.  So was Matt.

Bridger Buckley: Titan, pizza guy, kidnapped footballer, with a practically perfect physique and a donkey d...or is it a camel?

Jamie McGuire: The Smiley Creature from "From," with Halifax hunks and a n*de Dylan Sprouse

Sonny Kendall: Obviously gay, too young for n*de photos, so his EastEnder teen had better pay off. With Boreanaz and twink c*cks

Lorenzo Lamas: from Gay-Vague Prettyboy to Straight Kickboxer

The son of Hollywood royalty, Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl, Lorenzo Lamas had a delicate, prettyboy face, big hair, a slim, hairy chest, and a penchant for semi-nudity that made him perfect for gay-vague roles.

 Gay teens first noticed him in Take Down (1979), as a high school wrestler who finds inspiration in his unconventional English teacher (Edward Herrman).

And in  the short-lived California Fever (1979), hanging out on the beach with Jimmy McNichol and Marc McClure.

And in a photo spread in the gay-vague magazine After Dark (1979).

They were expecting a lot from the gay-coded young hunk.  But it didn't happen.

Instead he got married -- twice by 1983, four times altogether.

And he landed the nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest (1981-1990), as Lance Cumson, the lazy playboy grandson of matriarch Angela Channing (Jane Wyman).  His character was married four times during the course of 227 episodes.

Meanwhile Lorenzo started bulking up, to take advantage of the 1980s fad for man-mountains, and he branched out into martial-arts actioners.  Except instead of saving a buddy, he distancesdhimself from his earlier gay-vague roles by saving girls: his sister in Snake Eater (1989), his girlfriend in Night of the Warrior (1991), a female archaeologist in The Swordsman (1992).

There were a few minor buddy-bonding roles, such as the kickboxing movie Final Impact (1992), but nothing like the promise of the 1980s.  At least he took off his shirt a lot.

During the 1990s and 2000s, Lamas could be seen mostly in low-budget actioners.  He also starred in the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful (2004-2007) and parodied himself in the tv series Leave it to Lamas (2009) and Love Sex God (2012).

Not a lot of gay content in his work, but he has performed in The King and I and A Chorus Line at the Ogunquit Playhouse in the gay resort town.

Operation Taco Gary's: A gay video star, Keefe, the "American Pie" guy, the d*ck that got censored, tacos, and aliens. And everybody's gay.

  

Link to the n*de dudes

Tony Cavalero (yes, I still follow his Instagram) announced that Operation Taco Gary's, which he completed in 2023, has finally found a broadcast home, on Amazon Prime. I've been waiting for this for awhile, so here goes:

Scene 1: As the radio announces the death of actor Jason Biggs (best known for the American Pie franchise), a guy runs through the woods in his underwear, holding a book or a box.  He yells "F*k you, Biggs!"

Flashback to the child Underwear Guy and his buddy or brother trying to destroy their neighborhood.  As an old fat guy sunbathes in s Speedo, Child Underwear Guy accidentally pushes his buddy into a wall, knocking him out. He runs away, past a sign saying "Moving sale. Please buy my stuff." 

Scene 2: In a run-down house, a guy is lying on the bed, despondent, while his roommate or boyfriend, Luke (Dustin Milligan), sells off their stuff. They're moving to Ottawa. Wait -- the moving sale is in the present. What about the kids?  They weren't Underwear Guy and his buddy?

Someone asks about a painting of the Pope eating dinner with Big Foot.  "It's not mine.  I'm basically Jewish."

"That's not true," a voice calls from another room.  "I've seen his p*nis."  (Censored description).   

It's Underwear Guy, Luke's long-lost brother!  He's a conspiracy theorist who lives off the grid, and he brought the painting because the Catholic Church is supressing evidence of Bigfoot.

They discuss Luke's move to Canada.  "You got a girlfriend  up there?"

"No.  I wish." Heterosexual identity established at Minute 7.  "I'm a new paleontology researcher. I start on Monday."

Underwear Guy guilts his way into an invitation to come along.  Who was the roommate despondent over Luke leaving?  Maybe a random person trying out the bed?  A little confusing, director!.

Scene 3: Driving to Canada on narrow country roads through the woods.  On the radio: "Jason Biggs' death has been ruled a homicide"  Underwear Guy looks suspicious.

Left: Research reveals that Underwear Guy is played by Simon Rex, unrecognizeable from his early days in gay-ish videos.

They stop at Taco Gary's for lunch.  Undewear Guy claims that his days of scamming the Portuguese mafia out of Taiwanese ketamine are over.  He just wants to be a good brother.

Cut to the police breaking into Luke's empty house.  They find a Taco Gary's wrapper and conclude that Luke is now helping Underwear Guy. 

Scene 4: An ugly guy with a physique that's um...well, I'm sure he has a nice c*ck.  He awakens, brushes his teeth, and heads to the dentist office to protest the practice of putting microchips in our teeth.   

Getting gas nearby, Luke and Underwear Guy see him. So he's going to join the team?

Uh-oh, Underwear Guy sees a car, rushes over, and accosts the old lady driving with a hunting knife. He shows her a taco, and refers to the "TG Truce of '21."  She doesn't know what he's talking about.  "Sorry, I mistook you for a member of the Coalition."

While he's gone, Luke checks his backpack and finds that his brother is not taking is meds.

Scene 5: They zoom off.  Hey, what about the ugly guy with the sign?  You spent so much time showing him getting dressed, I thought he would be a major character.  

Luke confronts Underwear Guy for not taking his meds, destroying his cell phone, and attacking the old lady.   He can't accommodate his brother's craziness anymore, and orders him out of the car.  But Underwear Guy gives him an injection that knocks him out, and drags him into the woods.

Scene 6: He awakens at night, by a campfire, remembers what happened, and tries to run away, but Underwear Guy injects him again.  And a third time. Just tie him up, dude.

Underwear Guy explains: he needs Luke's identity to sneak into Canada.  He's already stolen Luke's passport, wallet, and car keys, so he can't say no. "You'll get them back when we cross the border, and you'll still be in Ottawa in time for your new job."  How are both of them going to get into Canada with the same passport?

He gives Luke a high-tech, alien-made homing device to use instead of a government-hacked cell phone.

"This is a Rubik's Cube painted black."

Uh-oh, the cops have found their car!  Underwear Guy yells "We are armed and extremely dangerous!"  They approach with guns pulled.  Run!

They run. Luke and the two cops all hurt their ankles on the same log (not funny, painful to watch). 

They stumble across a white-haired guy camping, and by taking off his pants, Underwear Guy convinces him to give them a ride. So he liked your underwear?  

"By the way, I've kidnapped my brother, and I'm forcing him to help me against his will."

"No problem," White-Haired Guy says, no doubt thinking that they both must have big d*cks.

Scene 7: They stop at a gym and ride the mechanical bull while waiting for a badger (someone who helps you illegally cross the border).  She descends the stairs in slow motion while Luke gapes in Girl of My Dreams squishiness. I was wondering when he would meet The Girl.

She actually works at the gym, at the smoothie bar.  While they are talking, Underwear Guy tells Luke, "I know that look. You're attracted to her, aren't you?"  Hey, that will ruin his chances with The Girl.

Turns out that she's not really a badger.   But she has nothing else to do today, and Underwear Guy always has "crazy, fun" ideas, so why not?

Kowen Cadorath: Son of the three gay Krelboynes, a slasher Santa Claus, handsome orphan on the prairie. With some prairie hunks

 

Malcolm in the Middle (2000-06) starred Frankie Muniz (far left) as Malcolm, a genius in a family of underachievers.  In school, he is placed with the Krelboynes, the gifted and therefore constantly bullied students. 

His best friend Stevie (Craig Lamar Traylor, in the wheelchair) is absurdly girl-crazy, but the lesser Krelboynes are all gay coded:

Dabney (Kyle Sullivan, in his underwear), has an obvious crush on Malcolm.

Lloyd (Evan Matthew Cohen, in blue), enjoys feminine activites like tea parties, and is suicidal ( a common gay stereotype).

Kevin (Victor J. Isaac, far right) is in love with his mother, another gay stereotype. 

In Life's Still Unfair, the Malcolm in the Middle reunion miniseries (2026),the Krelboynes all come to the 40th Anniversary Party of Malcolm's parents, Lois and Hal.  The previously girl-crazy Stevie (Craig Lamar Traylor) has come out; he has a husband (Erik Gow) and young son.  Stay far away from the Malcolm subreddit: it's overrun by howls of  "why do they want every single tv character to be gay????"

The three minor Krelboynes attend together (Dabney center, Lloyd left, Kevin not shown).  They hint that they are in a three-way romantic relationship -- which gets vociferous howls of "they're obviously straight!"  in the fan reddit. 

In other news,  they have a son named Hubert (Kowen Caderath, left).

"With a surrogate?" Malcolm asks.

"Um...yeah sure," Dabney says, hinting that they acquired the child some other way, maybe through an advanced cloning procedure. 

The potential clone Hubert appears in three scenes.  First, he corners an ant that was crawling across the floor, to save the group from the wild beast.  Next he looks extremely embarrassed at his dads' awkward but enthusiastic dancing.  Finally, Lois tells her granddaughter Leah to make friends with him, because he "looks lonely,"  reflecting Malcolm's high school relationship with Stevie.

I'm conducting research to determine if any of the Krelboynes (plus Hubert) have played gay characters since Malcolm, or are gay in real life.

Craig Lamar Traylor (Stevie), who does not actually use a wheelchair or have a missing lung, has nine acting credits, mostly small roles like "Bookstore Customer" and "Child in Classroom."  He retired from acting in 2012, but returned for Renner (2025), starring Frankie Muniz as a AI developer who meets the Girl of His Dreams.  

According to a "where are they now?" article, Craig is an artist specializing in tattoos.  He doesn't say a word about romantic relationships, which suggests that he may be gay and closeted. 

Kyle Sullivan (Dabney) was a well known child star before Malcolm, with roles in Mad about You, The Hugleys, Unhappily Ever After, and Tuesdays with Morrie.  Afterwards, he starred in The War at Home (2005-07), with Michael Rappaport as a macho man struggling with the existence of gay people and Muslims -- then he has to take in a gay Muslim boy (Rami Malek).  Kyle plays his son, who is also assumed gay, but eventually comes out as straight.

After War, Kyle retired from acting.  There are many, many guys named Kyle Sullivan with social media pages, even when you specify that they have to be actors.  At least one is gay, but I don't know if it's our Kyle or not. 

Evan Matthew Cohen (Lloyd), not to be confused with actors Evan Cohen and Matthew Cohen, had three acting credits before Malcolm: an episode of Encore! Encore!, Soccer Dog: The Movie, and the Fox animated series Fillmore!  (Exclamation points were very popular at the turn of the millennium!)

After Malcolm, he retired from acting.  

Victor Z. Isaac (Kevin), not to be confused with Victor Isaac, has 16 acting credits, including episodes of Will and Grace, Pushing Daisies, Everwood, and Criminal Minds (left: he's being arrested for stalking).  

His last role was in The Social Network (2010), about Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) creating Facebook.  Victor plays Stuart Singer, who tells Mark "I'm in your O.S. lab. You're doing an awesome job with Facebook."

Then, like the other Krelboynes, he retired from acting.  There's a Victor Isaac actor who's gay, or at least plays gay, but he's in Spain.

Hubert, you're my last hope.

Kowen Cadorath (Hubert) has an unusual name, like a sword-and-sorcery hero, so I tried to look up its etymology.  Not much luck: various "name meaning" websites claim that it is derived from Old English, Breton, Occitan (Provencal), and Venezuelan Spanish.

17 years old as of this writing, Kowen lives in Winnipeg, but often visits Vancouver for auditions.  Dad Cory works in construction, but has an acting resume; little sister Paisley has appeared in Nobody, Nobody 2, and Harland Manor; and Uncle Matthew teaches at the Expressions Film Studio.

With that sort of heritage, you'd expect acting to be in Kowen's blood, but in an interview he states that he started because he had nothing to do during the summer, so his uncle suggested that he take a class in film. 

His acting career begins with an episode of the hospital drama Skymed (2022), and moves into a Christmas romcom, The Jinglebell Jubilee (2023): after the death of his wife (of course),  the staggeringly blond Nate (Marshall Williams) moves back to his small home town.   His old friend Hope and her boyfriend offer to help him "find love.,"  but it's obvious to everyone, including the boyfriend, that he should really be with...you guessed it.  

Kowen plays his  teenage son Brandon, who has a sort of femme affect and mentions "buddies" but no girl.  That's enough for a queer reading.

Khemjira: A Thai shaman and his students find boyfriends, with a "Power Ranger" demon, muscular ghosts, magic bees, a play, and beneath-the-belt stuff

When Thai tv series Khemjira (2025) appeared on my Netflix recommendation list. I thought it might be another BL series, like Love Like a Bike. But fast-forwarding through the first episode, I saw only a boy-girl romance, plus someone who looked nonbinary.  So I'm going to review Episode 7; in the U.S., they postpone outing gay characters until near the end of the season, so maybe a gay romance will start heating up.

Our Story So Far: The Spirit Ramphueng, who looks like Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers, has cursed a family: every boy born will die before his 21st birthday. Khem's parents give him a girl's name to fool her, but it doesn't work; demons keep attacking.  So they send him to Ubon Ratchatthani province, near the Laotian border, where Shaman Pharam can protect him.

He befriends two of the shaman students: Red-haired, effervescent Jet, and shy, quiet Cham. 

From left to right: Cham, Jet, Khem

Scene 1: Shaman Pharam, who is very young (the actor is 25), brings the guys to "Remembering the Holy Men," a real performance piece memorializing the 1901 m*ssacre of over 300 men who were rebelling against the Siamese government.   

Khem sees some of the spirits; very muscular.  But he also sees Ramphueng, and worries that she will use them to attack.  So Shaman Pharam gives him an additional locket for protection.

Scene 2: While Jet and Cham choose a paint color for an offering to the spirits, a girl who dated or had a crush on Shaman Pharam ten years ago tries to get with him again, but Pharam isn't interested.  

Scene 3: The performance.  Chalked men and women wave tapers with multicolored smoke and run back and forth, grab tall poles, bleed red ink, carry each other off, and finally fall down.   

 

Uh-oh, there's Ramphueng again!  She tries to control the very muscular spirits, but they are too powerful, and make her choke and evaporate.  

Only Khem and Shaman Pharam see this.  Everyone else just applauds as the performanc ends. 

Cut to Ramphueng: "I may have failed this time, but I'll get you, My Pretty!"

Scene 4: As everyone is packing up, the girl with the crush on Shaman Pharam stops by to say goodbye and give him a gift.  Khem, eavesdropping, thinks they are dating, and walks away morosely.

Shaman Pharam notices and calls him back.  "Anything wrong?" "Oh...no, not at all, Master.  Bye!" 

"Then give my my protection amulet back."  "Grr...yeah, sure, I guess."

Scene 5: It's a busy day: next up Rich Guy Pong, who wears a Bethany Nazarene College t-shirt, arrives to take the guys to the Temple Festival. 

Hey, I grew up Nazarene.  Hard-core fundamentalist. There's a Bethany Nazarene College in Oklahoma.

Rich Guy Pong asks Khem to sit up front -- um, to check the map. He agrees.  Jet and Cham gossip about whether the two are an item.  

As they pull out, Shaman Pharam stares despondently.  Jealous, dude?  He summons two child-appearing spirits, and orders them to watch the group and report back if there's trouble.

"And if they split up, who do you want us to keep an eye on?  Anybody special, giggle giggle?"

Zak Ford Williams: "Better," "Battery," "Bridgerton," and the British Stonewall: all gay roles all the time. With a lot of c*cks.

Awhile ago I profiled Ruben Reuter, the "short guy with a d*ck" who starred in the Channel 4 Britcom Pushers.  In 2023 he appeared in the short Mobility,  about three high school students with different disabilities riding the same bus every day.  

I decided to check out his co-stars -- maybe the others were gay, too -- and found the extremely attractive Zak Ford-Williams. 

Zak was born in Ramsbottom, about 15 miles from Manchester, in 1999.  Growing up, he was deeply involved in the theater, joining Summerseat Players and the Manchester Royal Exchange Young Players.  He took his secondary school at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and university at the Manchester School of Theatre (B.A., 2020).

His first on-screen role was in a 2021 episode of Wolfe, with Babou Ceesay as a university professor/ murder investigator.  The team finds evidence of a ritual killing in a "giant fatberg" in Manchester's sewers ( a fatberg is a giant blockage).  Zak's character offers to guide them into the sewer, and then attacks.

Next Zak had a recurring role in Better (2023), about a corrupt police detective striving to "do better."  Her son Owen (Zak), disabled after a bout of meningitis,  starts a relationship with the Crime Lord's son Donal (Ceallach Spellman, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends).

The short Battery (2023) is set during a lockdown that has turned London into a post-Apocalyptic nightmare.  A boy with cerebral palsy (Zak), forbidden to leave the flat because "it's not safe," sneaks out and braves the mean streets to reunite with his boyfriend (Nadeen Islam, who performs stand-up as "the only brown deaf gay man in England")  It was repeated in the anthology movie 4Love (2023).  

Next came an episode of the long-running  Midsommer Murders.  He plays Ludo Trask, a teenager obsessed with a book supposedly containing clues to a treasure -- and its author, who ends up murdered.  Spoiler alert: he didn't do it.  No heterosexual interest mentioned.

Two episodes of the historical soap opera Bridgerton, as the snarky gossip-girl Lord Remington (dig the old-timey wheelchair).  He hangs out with Penelope (left), but does not express any romantic interest in her.

And she is is busy courting Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends) and Alfred Debling (Sam Phillips).

If you're keeping score, that's five roles, two canonically gay, one gay vague, and two queer coded through lack of expressed heterosexual interest.
