I thought he was single. Damn...

That 30 year age difference, wonder if money has anything to do with it.

Happy for him! Hope the biiig age difference doesn't end up being a problem.

Got a bunch of journalists just hovering outside his house wanting to ask him questions and they won't leave :c Poor sexy Mr Fry.

Sorta like marrying your dad.

[QUOTE=usaokay;46867915]The biggest news for me is that he's gay.[/QUOTE] He's been quite open about it for ages though...

[QUOTE=usaokay;46867915]The biggest news for me is that he's gay.[/QUOTE] He's a big gay rights activist.

I just read about this and I am truly happy for Stephen, he had a rough childhood and suffered depression as a result if I recall correctly. Seriously, good to see progress like this

His husband is really cute :3

He's a bit.. young. Meh, i'm glad something is making stephen happy, considering he's mentioned his depression and spouts of suicidal thoughts. Hopefully this'll do him good

He looks off his face in that picture

Imagine getting boned and every time you look behind you this is the face you see [img]http://puu.sh/e9eDt/5eb568f8ff.jpg[/img]

I'm glad Fry found someone after [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry#Sexuality"]he and David Cohen broke up in 2010[/URL] after a long relationship together. Be interesting to see how many jokes about Steven/Alan manlove are in the next season of QI, for comparison.

[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;46868023]Don't have to be gay to be a gay rights activist[/QUOTE] Thanks for letting me know. I thought his gay rights activism it would add to more people looking up that he was gay.

[QUOTE=Boookie;46868006]He looks off his face in that picture[/QUOTE] I'd imagine you'd have to be to deal with the fucking paparazzi. If you were sober you'd knock their block off.

I get angry every time I see the word 'partner'.

[QUOTE=ToumaniSquirrel;46868268]I get angry every time I see the word 'partner'.[/QUOTE] Why? Do you think that word is only used in relation to same sex couples?

I met him at a museum once while he filmed an episode about dinosaurs.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;46867909]That 30 year age difference, wonder if money has anything to do with it.[/QUOTE] Money or not, it's fucking creepy.

[QUOTE=Marc Laidlaw;46868329]Why? Do you think that word is only used in relation to same sex couples?[/QUOTE] Maybe I'm not looking enough, but I seem to ONLY see it when referencing same-sex couples. Makes it feel like (to me) it's not as good as a hetero couple.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;46868395]Money or not, it's fucking creepy.[/QUOTE] Well it's not like you don't see a lot of rich and famous people married to young women. Also that young guy is cute :)

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46868093]Imagine getting boned and every time you look behind you this is the face you see [img]http://puu.sh/e9eDt/5eb568f8ff.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] It's perfect.

[QUOTE=ToumaniSquirrel;46868404]Maybe I'm not looking enough, but I seem to ONLY see it when referencing same-sex couples. Makes it feel like (to me) it's not as good as a hetero couple.[/QUOTE] I see it used, and use it, all the time for any sort of couple, especially past the age of 30 since 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' seems more than a little juvenile at that point; y'know, 'boy' and 'girl' don't really apply any more. I even sometimes to my own girlfriend as 'my partner' if the context seems more fitting that way, like if it's formal or talking about the both of us instead of me relating to her or her relating to me or what do I know. Mostly see it used when it's a bit less specific though, like where genders and marital status could be kinda who-even-knows; is it a dude or a lady, wife, girlfriend, husband or boyfriend? Who knows?
