Happy Friday, Out readers!
Congratulations are in order for actor Rupert Everett and his husband who have relevealed that they recently got married!
Everett, the star of movies like My Best Friend's Wedding and My Policeman told Tatler that he and his long-time partner, a Brazilian accountant named Herique, got married in a low-key ceremony at Camden Town Hall.
"I have always hated weddings, although I do love funerals," Everett said. "But when you get older... I have seen so many problems that gay couples face, so it's really more about forward-thinking, as we have been together for a long time now."
"I don't know how long I'm going to last," the 65-year-old ator added. "Well, being tall, I've never seen a 95-year-old 6ft 5in person. You just never know what's going to happen."
One of the reasons this is notable, is that a decade ago, Everett famously came out against marriage.
"Why do queens want to go and get married in churches?" he asked in an interview with The Guardian. "Obviously this crusty old pathetic, Anglican church — the most joke-ish church of all jokey churches — of course they don't want to have queens getting married. It's kind of understandable that they don't; they're crusty, old, calcified freaks. But why do we want to get married in churches? I don't understand that, myself, personally."
"I loathe heterosexual weddings; I would never go to a wedding in my life," he continued in the 2012 interview. "I loathe the flowers, I loathe the f*cking wedding dress, the little bridal tiara. It's grotesque. It's just hideous. The wedding cake, the party, the champagne, the inevitable divorce two years later. It's just a waste of time in the heterosexual world. And in the homosexual world, I find it personally beyond tragic that we want to ape this institution that is so clearly a disaster."
It seems as though at least a small part of that has changed.
Now, onto the news.

Gayest Song of the Week
"I hate when bad bitches be straight, like what you mean?" Baby Tate asks in her hilarious and truthful new song "Straight." The queer rapper asks something gays have been asking forever: how are some people zero percent gay? "Anyways, it ain't even that deep, it's just weird," she raps. "You mean to tell me you ain't at least a little queer?" Finally someone is asking the real questions!
Comment of the Week
Comment of the week goes to @returnednewyorker on Instagram! On our post about 10 actors who could replace Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Haynes' upcoming movie, they wreote "All of these are great choices. And I love Pedro, Matt (he would be perfect!) and Colman, but I would choose Murray because he is so underrated. I agree with an above post that he deserves bigger roles."
