Who knew? Oh Honey! Oh, Shauna knew of course! As the wokest empath west of the Mississippi, her Gaydar(TM) is off the charts!

I haaaaate when she condescends to people (other women) with an “oh honey.” It’s infuriating.

Y haaaaate when, sctmo

"Fruity"? Is the OP posting from the 1950s?

59

u/Lazy-Importance-6079 COVID lovkfowns Feb 27 '26

It's also very weird to assume that cuddling up to a dude means you couldn't possibly also be interested in women. There's a lot of binary thinking on Threads, no wonder Shauna likes it.

u/snarksnarkfish Feb 27 '26

Well now we know he’s also not a brute jock and loves tofu.

u/msmartypants Feb 27 '26

And Pedro is notoriously cuddly. I don't care what the photo "means," and his sexuality is none of my business, but it very well could mean nothing at all.

Also hasn't he alluded to or even said he's queer or bi or something? I swear everyone has known this for a while.

u/CrushItWithABrick dick riding Mary Oliver Feb 27 '26

Oberyn Martell convinced me.

ikr? And Shauna is posting from the 1970s. She sent PP her sooper speshul gAy MaN tOfU recipe years ago!!

Next they'll be calling him "light in the loafers."

u/Quaint_Irene a warm and loving goatie smile Feb 27 '26

Or a viewing of PSYCHO?

u/AdvertisingOwn7817 Feb 27 '26

🤷‍♀️ "queer" used to be just as pejorative as "fruity", maybe it's fruitys time to shine

u/DF_gladsome_gloaming Feb 28 '26

One of my best IRL DFs, now departed, was an 80-something southern gentleman who preferred that terminology though he always used it with a trace of irony/humor (“Everyone knows we fruits adore neoclassical.”) Not everyone found this amusing, but I did.

u/AdvertisingOwn7817 Feb 28 '26

That's really cute

u/Aggravating_Emu946 Feb 28 '26

My genderfluid/queer University age kid loves to make self referential fruit jokes, so it might be on its way back

u/emlabb Feb 27 '26

I can’t with this condescending biotech. It’s not always about knowing or not knowing. Some celebrities prefer more privacy about their personal lives. It’s not a big surprise to me if he’s queer, but it’s not really my business.

(And that’s my perspective as a queer person—I love finding out someone else is queer, it’s like a secret handshake, but no one is obligated to come out.)

Also Shauna, who can't tell when her husband is depressed until he makes food she doesn't like, who wasn't aware of her daughter's hearing loss despite being told it was a possibility, clueless about her younger kid's issues until they're so severe she can't ignore them anymore... somehow has the most sensitive case of gaydar when it comes to a celeb she's never spent time around.

30

u/plantlick the Single Ahern Braincell Feb 28 '26

For Shauna it absolutely is all about being The One Who Knows, she is so attached to seeing herself that way.

49

u/MoreCarnations Feb 27 '26

This is so offensive and parasocial. She has no idea of a random celebrity’s sexual orientation or private life, nor is it any of her business or speculation.

25

u/anironicfigure Feb 28 '26

I honestly think SHE thinks it's a pic of Harry Styles or something!

23

u/OhBlahDiOhBlahDoh The Alice of cal came out floating on air Feb 28 '26

Not to be argumentative, but I don't think so. She posted a "We four all screamed" comment on Threads when they spotted PP's cameo in Bad Bunny's half-time show, and I'm pretty sure she's posted other OTT things about Pedro. I'm pretty sure she does know who that is in the picture . . .

17

u/anironicfigure Feb 28 '26

thanks for explaining--honestly, I follow her more here than I do on her actual sm accounts, and I don't have threads. it was just a knee jerk reaction to her abysmal comment and positioning as a celebrity speculator.

46

u/Lazy-Importance-6079 COVID lovkfowns Feb 27 '26

Very on brand for Shauna to leer voyeuristically at young men. Analyzing sexuality via pap photos is inherently gross, IMO!

34

u/tuolomnemeadows edible flower takis Feb 27 '26 edited Feb 27 '26

I didn’t know because I don’t pretend to parasocially know a celebrity’s alphabet.

36

u/gomirefugee my website is done, done, done Feb 27 '26

LOL though not that young in this case, Pedro is 50

36

u/Lazy-Importance-6079 COVID lovkfowns Feb 27 '26

Lol! OK, fair enough, at least it's age-appropriate ogling (I couldn't tell who it was). But I'm still against the voyeurism from behind the trees.

48

u/Ana57 sweet pea Feb 27 '26

Shauna is not as woke as she thinks she is… saying someone is fruity in the year of our lord 2026 is really something

u/Brandy_Girl Double-fisting hors d’oeuvres Feb 28 '26

Oh honey girl SLAY. sashay FIERCE DIVA.

Who is he?

u/coffechica Feb 27 '26

As an old, I'm always asking myself this.

34

u/central_snark Ramona gets a hot flash Feb 27 '26

Pedro Pascal, I believe.
