I"m sorry, I'm confused. If she doesn't feel gay, she doesn't feel gay. She's attracted to TD, not women in general. I personally believe in sexual fluidity. A lot of gay people know they are gay from a young age. Taylor didn't experience that. I just don't understand how that offends the LGBT community. If that's not her experience, it's just not. Should she lie about it?

 
No, she absolutely should not lie about it. But she also should not be the poster child of the LGBT community either. All the articles and the publicity lately have been based on her sexuality as a "hook". That's the part that rings hollow, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of publicity at any cost, especially when even she doesn't seem to be fully onboard. That's the team's fault. It's the Kris Jenner school of managing - Successful but fake.  And like the kardashians, it seems to be drawing attention so good luck to them, I guess.

let me propose something else.  and forgive me for not following tay's publicity leanings and al her business ventures.  I'm a little behind. so I might have missed how she is holding herself out as a poster child for the lgbtq community. but I will say this. I think the concepts of sexual identity and preference can be and often are evolving processes, and not something that can always be put into either/or dichotomous boxes.  maybe tay is gay (hmmm, never realized that rhymed). if so, perhaps her avowal of this has not caught up to her "in the moment" experience of such.  maybe she is not gay.  she's ok where she is. unfortunately there are a lot of younger folks out there who might find themselves experiencing yearnings that don't set well with who they think they should be. and many have taken their lives over the dissonance they feel, rather than be "found out." maybe this whole "sexual fluidity" thing, through whatever medium it is put out there, might actually touch someone who is feeling like there's something wrong with them.  maybe the gang's motives aren't that noble or virtuous. maybe they make some moola and in the process save one young person (or older person).  it's a win-win . fyi, on average I devote (not waste) approx. 15 minutes of every day trying to figure out how I can enrich myself financially above what my salary provides.  what can I say. it's the American way (geeez...I'm on fire with the rhymes today and this is pre-coffee).  have a great one folks. I love you all. gotta go get my Joe (I did it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

To me, "label-less love" = "I'm infatuated with my best friend but don't want to be labeled as gay because Im waiting for another rich man to sweep me off my feet again."

 
Ding ding! You are the winner!! I just hope she does not hurt TD in the process.

It really irks me now how Orlando was so much more real to her due to her having a girlfriend. It's not the label that's the problem for most gay people! My best friend is gay and we've actually been through some scary shit because of it, and he doesn't go around talking about his relationships because he's worried about it hurting his career, or worse. It's not about taking on a label, so let's not pretend that the label is the problem. It's the fact that there are people out there who want to punish gay people because they don't agree with the "lifestyle". That's what I am salty about... It seems like she doesn't want to be associated with the "gay lifestyle", because she insists she's not gay. To me, it seems like she wants all the positive press that comes along with a good coming out story but none of the problems that come along with actually living authentically. I get it if she's bi or attracted to both men and women, and I get it that not every bi person is attracted to every person. I just don't like to see her identifying with the parts of being gay that get attention, and then running away from the ones that she doesn't like.

Yes, that's what I've been trying to say but you articulated it perfectly.  This is not a game or a publicity stunt to millions of people, it's their true life experience.  It's insulting and should not be a tool in someone's ill-gotten and pathetic climb to "fame".

I think she thinks of herself as a girl too, not a 31 year old woman. 

I agree with you 100%. she speaks of her parents a lot and don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing that she adores them so much and their relationship is one she aspires to have.  but i hope that given all she's been thru and all she has have learned and experienced, that she really knows that she is capable of having a relationship just like their.

If I was TD, is run for the hills! Just listened to Friday's show with Nick and only got as far as the first class convo (not bc I didn't enjoy the show but had to go into work). Taylor is so selfish and insensitive. Not saying everyone needs to have kids and it's also not a bad thing to be selfish when you don't have kids yet, my husband and I are, but I just don't see a maternal bone in her body. It seems like TD would love kids and is obviously good with them. She needs to think that over.

The other day Taylor was talking about her former SIL (shocking, I know) and she was talking about how the SIL wrote a comment on a Web site she was on. So...I assume she means the Jessy comment on radar (about Taylor being a cheat etc). The fact that Taylor believed it was really Jessy made me think that what Jessy said struck a nerve. Anyway I was just trolling Taylor's insta and saw a pic of her and TD from NYE 2014 and it makes me wonder when she and TD really first hooked up.(or smashed clams, as Mike cannon says).

 

I always believed those comments came from Jessy. Just something about them sounded too real and full of emotion. Her goal was not to blame Taylor but to speak her brother's truth. Taylor takes cheap shots on a platform where people have no ability to respond. Why not call her sister In law up and say these things to her face? Taylor is the bully.

Yeah she talked about it last week I think, sounds like they've been officially living together for awhile.

TD, I know you hate these forums. But I love you and Tay. Just watched your insta story with your dad and while my heart breaks for you and your family, you guys are awesome. Love is love is love...friends, family, weird listeners, whatever. Know we are loving you all and praying for your dads recovery.

 
THIS 1000%. Prayers, good vibes & positivity to T squared, TD dad and TD family.

From TD's Instagram, it looks like her mom is selling their house and all of their furniture.  I haven't been able to listen since the twitter site when down.  Have there been any updates on TD's dad?  

 
I listen once or twice a week, I haven't heard anything. I also saw that on her insta and was curious.

Yes.  MomMom is a grandmother.

Oh phew.  It doesn't sound like her mom has to sell her house or stuff.  And glad to hear her dad's getting out of the hospital.  Thanks for the update!
