Michael C Hall discusses his Mostly Straight fluid sexuality

Mostly straight dudes are having a huge moment

Dexter star Michael C. Hall has been open about his sexuality, admitting he’s heterosexual “as a rule,” but he also doesn’t consider himself “all the way” straight. What did Hall say about embracing his own sexual fluidity, playing LGBTQ roles, and not quite fitting into the heterosexual box? Dexter star Michael C. Hall has been open about his sexuality, admitting he’s heterosexual “as a rule,” but he also doesn’t consider himself “all the way” straight. What did Hall say about embracing his own sexual fluidity, playing LGBTQ roles, and not quite fitting into the heterosexual box? Hall said he’s “always leaned into any fluidity” in his sexuality. “I think there’s a spectrum. I am on it. I’m heterosexual. But if there was a percentage, I would say I was not all the way heterosexual,” he explained.

He noted some of his roles required him “to fling a bunch of doors wide open,” using as an example how he “made out” with a man nightly for a play. But he said beyond that, he also craved more from men offstage than what fit into some heteronormative boxes.

“I had an appetite to have emotional connections with men beyond beer, sports, and fist pumping,” he explained. Still, he concluded, “As, a rule, I am heterosexual.”

Previously, Hall was married to his Dexter co-star, Jennifer Carpenter. The two remained friendly and continued working on the show after their divorce. Hall and Carpenter both returned to their roles for Showtime’s Dexter: New Blood, as well.

In regards to relationships, Hall once said he’s a “coupler.” He married his third and current wife, Morgan McGregor, in 2016.

So, Hall identifies as heterosexual “coupler,” though he acknowledges a bit of fluidity to that. And some fans really appreciate that he’s open about where he falls — or where he doesn’t quite fall — on the sexuality spectrum.

Same nonsense we heard from Lucas Hedges, but less of a word salad.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Pandering, pandering, pandering

Another gay baiter. I look at this like the feminists look at the trannies, you can't just say you lean straight but lean fluid too. It diminishes all the things that happen to us as gays, like all the trauma and stigma and young gay suicide. Fuck him to hell.

What the HELL does this mean?

Oh he wanted fist pumping alright. He just wanted the other guy's fist wrapped around his cock as it pumped.

There’s no such thing as a spectrum and he just proved it with his nonsense.

I would care more if he was cuter.

I don't understand a thing he said. So did he hook up with men beyond sports and beer or not?

OP, are you so freakin' lazy that you can't edit your own post, or are you so wasted you're seeing double?

He's shilling for headlines. He's about as gay as any guy, which generally isn't much.

He wants to be able to say yes to any future gay roles that may come his way, without repercussions.

He's been married to women three times. What's he talking about?

Translation: I like fucking men, but I don’t want to marry one.

It's just laying the groundwork in case he ever gets caught with a guy. Maybe he thinks that something from his past may resurface?

He can say he never lied now.

He always ping as a bisexual. He is finally trying to acknowledge publicly he has been with men. Baby steps.

He's dipping a toe in the waters of gaytown.

I'd like to test his theory. This picture is probably photoshopped, but I'd like to imagine it's real. I would dig in.

He's a good actor but I don't care about his personal life. I thought Debbie died in the original Dexter.

R16, most actors who get cast in gay roles are straight, why would there be any repercussions?

He's just gay but wants to pretend to be "fluid" - he hooked up with guys in his theater days

R7, he is gay. You think this theater queen is straight? LOL.

Some people are gullible, I guess.

“Mostly straight”? Gurl is a closet case, or a gay baiting hipster. It is trendy to be fluid.

R26, maybe it's trendy for girls, but straight guys would rather kill themselves than be seen as anything other than straight

This guy is family. Billy Masters outed him on Filth2go back in the day

So does this mean the new season of Dexter is going to suck and they're just trying to rake in viewers?

Meh. Wake me when Anthony Michael Hall says the same thing.

Jason Mraz came straight out and said he's bi and has been with men, without the ridiculous word salad.

How nice for you, Michael.

With each passing year we are less about your "percentages" or what that means in the real world of your butt plug and sneak-porn.

R28, how would this help them rake in viewers? No one is watching a show because one actor on it Identifies as "mostly straight"

Here's the Filth2go blind item that outed him back in the day:

“Mostly straight” is a growing male sexual identity

Can bisexuals ever not be exhausting?

Lucas Hedges is not the only one r4. I believe Josh Hutcherson said something similar about being mostly straight.

I'm more interested in the DLer who claims to have blown straight Peter Krause.

Just say the dreaded B word instead of this fluid bullshit .

I was genuinely surprised when I watched Six Feet Under and found out he was married to a woman. He played that role way too well.

I don’t know why people are surprised by this word salad, Gay people helped create this bullshit.

The reason Trans and all this nearly straight stuff is because of 101 Queer theory. It has been pushed by Institutions and ourselves for years.

We have been pushing the whole sex is a spectrum and men are fluid etc since before I was fucking born. The whole Kinsey study that helped Gay rights was all about sex on the spectrum. Then when we get pissed when it is mirrored in the real world. We helped with this.

Americans have never understood BI, but it has been going on the world since time immemorial. How do you think we got Trade into Gay Porn and the guys ended up married. In the real world, nothing is black and white but in America you just don’t get that.

I love mostly straights. I’m not attracted to MCH, but I’ve met and vibed with some smokin mostly straight guys. They tend to have great physiques

Women aren't keen on dating Bi men and neither are gay men.

Coming out as Bi shrinks your dating pool rather than increasing it.

It's why most Bi men eventually make a choice.

I went to high school with him in Raleigh.

Not really. So many men seeking men on dating apps are only seeking bi or straight identified guys. There have been studies that show identifying as gay on dating apps severely decreases chances of getting replies

Link to said studies please.

[quote]straight guys would rather kill themselves than be seen as anything other than straight

oh please - maybe in Alabama. Straight guys are not so uptight anymore.

Hey Michael. Put up or shut up.

Its actually kind of great that actors can say "yeah, i've fucked around with some guys over the years". Although with today's digital world, its definitely more challenging for them to keep things quiet if they do occasionally want some D.

R44, Ravenscroft, apparently. The word amongst the underclassmen was that he was not fucking around much but was totally gay in high school and was never heard from again when he went away to college. He was the same year as my sister so I heard a lot of gossip even before he became famous.

Saw him up close on Broadway years ago in “Mr Marmalade.” (Awful play.) But the audience could see him smelling cookies from the balcony.

With the new minority/protected class purity tests being implemented, you will see more of this from actors, in general. Why do you think every actor who isn't Anglo-Saxon is suddenly, very loudly proclaiming a pride in their parents' ethnicities? Pride that was absent a few years ago? It's to get work. That's why so many gays are suddenly "non-binary". They believe it will get them more work.

Oh fuck off R55, rumors, and more than, have been swirling around MCH for as long as he been known to the public.

I know your mother is busy sucking streetcorner cock right now but that doesn’t mean you should be shitting all over the DataLounge.

R56 sure,, perhaps. But he wouldn't be actively putting this out there right now unless it helped. That's what every actor is doing right now, covering their bases to capitalize on the woke mandate.

I want to know how many dicks he sucked.

Six Feet Under is one of the greatest tv series ever.

I always thought the female co-star he married, the actress who played his sister on DEXTER, was a lesbian.

Think he's been married about two or three times?

He is just gay baiting so that he can align with a minority and not just be a straight white guy. Boring.

I wonder if his ex wife caught him sucking a dick.

R62 He was bobbing for apples, Rose.

I actually saw his dick once (changing backstage), average size, thick, narrow head.

[quote]your mother is busy sucking streetcorner cock right now but

Pics please.

This revelation would've meant something back when he was somewhat attractive.

We’re coming after them, r24.

It’s a very homophobic way of admitting to liking dick.

He has a fantastic ass, so it'd be heartwarming to know a gay man has serviced it at some point.

He starred in that Amazon mini series about his missing daughter. His British accent SUCKED and he was supposed to be having an affair with the Police woman. They conveyed NO compassion towards each other at all. I don't care how straight he says he is or how many kids he's had with his wife- My gaydar says 100 percent GAY.

So women can be experimental and be straight but make out with women at parties and watch lesbian porn and that’s ok. If this was a woman saying the same exact things he did, people would get it.

But if it’s a man so he’s gay and closeted.

I totally understand and believe him. You can be 90% straight.

Is Jennifer carpenter in the new Dexter?

His boyfriend on Six Feet Under was hot. Did he disappear?

Random actor: I'm straight. / DL: That's a lie, he's totally gay!

Random actor: I'm not really straight. / DL: That's a lie, he's just pandering!

[quote] He's been married to women three times. What's he talking about?

Exactly

Between the trannies and the pseudo-homos, gay men just can't get a break. It is so exhausting and discriminatory.

R77, it's Republicans like you who are responsible for homophobia, not "trannies"

Ultra conservatives want to use the Supreme Court to overturn Lawrence v Texas

R61, actual straight guys don't want to be seen as "not a real man"

He isn't straight

R57, meanwhile, on planet earth, most actors who are gay or bi hide it. People aren't as "woke" as you want to believe, women are more like to identify as LGBT than men, men don't want to be seen as anything other than hetero

Shut up r79. You’re annoying dude

R48, why do you think women are more likely to come out as bi than men? Straight guys think being anything other than straight means they're "not a real man" - and that's not just in Alabama

Really, we called this out during SFU.

So, STFU, r77, r79, et, al...

The boss (or King?) of DL has spoken. 🙄

Not some dumbfuck, cunt fangurl, that's for sure. And you are gone, et. al!

[quote]Another gay baiter

Nope, just another gay actor pretending to be "mostly straight." "Gay baiting" is a hell of a lot more popular on DL than it is in real life.

A lot of DLers live in an alternate reality and make up their own 'facts'.

See: R45. Still waiting on links to those studies.

R79 except if he’s an actor who recognizes how identity politics is playing out in his profession, determining who can play what, or be cancelled. He wasn’t all that clear about what he is, he actually never clearly stated that he has sought men out for whatever kind of satisfaction. He describes it more like some sort of mental exercise than reality on his behavior, which reads like pandering.

[quote] His boyfriend on Six Feet Under was hot. Did he disappear?

Matthew St. Patrick. HAF. Hasn't been in much lately, which is sad, because he's got talent.

[quote]I don't care how straight he says he is or how many kids he's had with his wife.

It appears that he may be childfree, which would only score him cool points in my book. 3 wives and no kids with any of them. Another thing celebrities should speak out about. Many have been, more should follow suit. I hope MCH doesn't become one of those 50+ dads.

I worked at Sunset-Gower studios back when SFU was in production there. My parking space was right next to where Claire's green hearse was kept.

I ran into MCH at Crunch during that time, introduced myself and told him that. He giggled and blushed like a schoolgirl. turning beet red.

Given everything we know about him, I'd be willing to bet he's 100% gay. Why he stays in the closet with a procession of childless marriages is anyone's guess.

Translation: No one can complain if I get cast in gay roles.

R92, why do you hate children? Being a parent is a great thing

r96 I don't hate children, nor do I dispute that being a parent is a great thing for some people. It simply isn't for everyone.

A truly committed closet-case probably would have reproduced to complete the deception.

who is this odd gaslighter? over mch? wtf? get a life.

Who is the weirdo promoting parenting on DL?

R98, or maybe MCH just doesn't give a shit and he's just living his life

Of all the parts Michael C Hall ever played his gay character on Six Feet Under he seemed to be his most authentic self.

I agree. I couldn't tell where MCH ended and David began. Whereas with Dexter, where he did a great job, he was obviously stepping into character.

Sorry. I made a mistake the mini series Michael C Hall appeared in SAFE was on Netflix not Amazon.

It just seems odd to hear a 50 year old man sprouting concepts that used to be seen as cute when first year drama students said them.

maybe something is coming out.

Michael C. Hall has had quite a post Six Feet Under career. But WHET his hot black cop boyfriend?

R82 Because women are too homophobic to accept being with a man who’s not 100% straight. Men think bisexual or experimental women are hot. Women do not find bisexual or experimental men hot.

R108 And if women found bisexual men hot, more men would be bisexual.

“Mostly straight” = Bottom.

Nothing is hotter to straight men than two hot chicks going at it.

I think a lot of women and gay men will have a fuck buddy relationship with bisexual guys, anything long-term adds another level of complication. It's not worth the extra hassle.

“I’m not saying that I am totally heterosexual, but I don’t think that I’ll ever sleep with a man, although I won’t take it off the table. Labels offend me even though I identify as heterosexual as utilize my straight male privilege to the nth degree. I’m not saying that I am gay or straight. Even though I’m not.”

He’s full of it. That’s all…

R112. why? You are assuming bisexual men are promiscuous and 'can't keep it in their pants' and that is not necessarily the case. A bisexual person means that they can be in a committed relationship with a woman or with a man; just like a gay person or a het.

[quote] Women do not find bisexual or experimental men hot

That's not true

Exactly. I know women who are open to a certain type of bi dude

Most women are not open to dating bisexual men. It is only a tiny fraction of women whom are frau and bisexual women who are open to dating men that are bi. Fraus will end up dating any man who will have them especially the very average looking women. Bisexuality women are open to their man sucking off another man.

⬆️ The cold hard truth hurts for some people.

R118. That altitude is why straight women aren't fucking with your dumbass.

R115 You must be a woman who believes women are the less judgmental sex.

The only studies out there show women don’t like bisexual men.

R117 Right. There’s women who like to piss on people and get fisted, doesn’t mean women are more sexually open to kink than men.

[Quote]I’ve never had an intimate relationship with a man.

The ONLY relevant sentence. So gaybaiting bullshit.

American women are less likely to be with bisexual men than women from other countries. YMMV.

R25 Yes, you are one of those people.

Plenty of women are cool with it now

Many Millennials say they are uncomfortable with the idea of dating a partner who is bisexual, transgender, or gender non-conforming.

This generation is more open to the idea of dating someone that fits the description than previous ones, but not everyone is comfortable with this idea.

Just over four in 10 (43%) Millennials would be comfortable with a bisexual partner, but a nearly-equal number (40%) say it would make them uncomfortable. By contrast, 37% of Gen Xers and just under a quarter of Baby Boomers would be amenable to having a bisexual partner. Women (28%) also tend to be less comfortable than men (38%) with the idea of a bisexual partner.

Or he's lying, R123. Michael C. Hall doesn't give two fucks about "gaybaiting."

R126 you got to categorize the millennial generation. Older millennial like myself are very less likely to be open to dating bisexual men in comparison to younger millennials and zoomers.

Zoomers are gonna be so open

Michael C Hall has been saying this for years and years. Since the six feet under days.

R121, no, I just believe bisexual men are sexier and more interesting partners

R126 The millennial stat includes men. And it still shows women are less comfortable with the idea than men.

Less comfortable doesn’t mean that bi dudes don’t find women to date them. I know multiple bi or mostly straight dudes who are open about male attraction or past involvement, yet have no time pulling hot chicks

[quote]Six Feet Under is one of the greatest tv series ever.

Criminally underrated. I always look at those "top TV shows of all time" lists and most don't put it where it deserves to be. Up there in the top 5 with contemporaries like The Sopranos and The Wire.

R134, I agree but I think the pace of it was too European and too introspective for an American audience.

SFU was too esoteric for the average dumb fuck.

It was a show for the elite not the masses

Six Feet Under was great when it was good, but the quality definitely varied during its run.

I watched it in its original run as a young'un. It was like a weekly meditation.

r138 Because the main characters were all unlikable?

He gave an almost this exact same interview a few years ago - there was a DL thread on it and I just assumed someone posted the old interview but no - different interview but almost identical. Not sure what prompted him to bring it up again - does he have some new role coming up? It would be great if he actually were like sexually attracted to men but if you parse his statements, it seems more like he has some weird daddy issues that he thinks made it difficult for him to have deep friendships with men - almost a freudian take. Where it goes off the deep end and borders on homophobic is where he suddenly conflates that with being gay or having same sex attractions. He seems to think that these daddy issues should have triggered some level of homosexuality in him and he almost sounds jealous that it didn't because he has seems to have these simplistic almost idealized view of homosexuality and he somehow hopes that he could develop sexual attractions to men in the future even though he states very clearly he hasnt had them yet or thinks he will soon. Sounds similar to the BS that the new Gossip Girl "bi" guy was spouting.

[Quote] Not sure what prompted him to bring it up again - does he have some new role coming up?

DEXTER is returning as a limited series.

I never saw Dexter - was he gay in that like SFU?

I don't think so. Daniel Craig isn't playing gay in the Bond movies but he's still coming up with clickbait in that vein.

R143 Dexter was straight. But there was a whole closeted subtext to the character/show since he was in the closet, just not about being gay.

r144 really? whats he doing?

How did you miss the stories about him hoping to gay bars? It’s everywhere

He's only being honest. A significantly higher number of men, and even women, have been involved in some form of same sex sexual activity in their lives. Europeans are much more open to same sex activity, especially when they are younger.

I love how gays used to be all about the sexual revolution and pushing boundaries but now if a mostly heterosexual guy admits to being flexible, he gets dragged as a baiter, panderer, and/or secretly gay.

We’ve gone full circle to being as rigid and harsh as the people and roles we escaped when we first left our closets.

[quote]How did you miss the stories about him hoping to gay bars? It’s everywhere

He was probably doing research for a role 🙄

[Quote] if a mostly heterosexual guy admits to being flexible, he gets dragged as a baiter, panderer, and/or secretly gay.

He gets even more squeeing, so cry me a river.

“ I love how gays used to be all about the sexual revolution and pushing boundaries but now if a mostly heterosexual guy admits to being flexible, he gets dragged as a baiter, panderer, and/or secretly gay.”

Only amongst the whiney, chronically upset activist types who for some reason, think they have to police LGB identity. A lot of them are old school gays. Others are people who dislike bisexuals and mostly straight guys for some weird reason. At any rate, they are tired

I’m tired of the attempts at sounding edgy and hip with the “I’m heterosexual but I won’t rule out a same sex attraction even though I wouldn’t dream of acting out on it…so in the meantime, I will make a semi-outlandish, yet nebulous statement about sex. The public will eat it up because I’m a fucking celebrity, bitches!”.

It’s maddening and boring at the same time.

For you. Ignore it if you think that. Others disagree with you

And I disagree with them r155.

Whatever - the problem with gen z or whatever they are called now is that they can say identify as non-heterosexual or whatever ideologically or politically or even socially but for men anyway, they aren't having more sexual much less romantic same sex encounters/relationships than prior cohorts (women are all over the map but they usually end of with men after young adulthood). Actually, they aren't much sex at all - even heterosexual - for various reasons but despite all the claims about sexual liberation, they seem to be more repressed than ever. But it takes some of the stigma away so that is a good thing but these actors giving obtuse interviews is annoying as fuck...

r157 here - meant "much more" not "much less" damn datalounge - I pay the damn $2 a month so Muriel can afford to update the software to allow editing!

R157, so? Why are you invested in their sexual behavior? I prefer identity as a priority

Has he gotten his dick sucked by a guy?

dude been gay since escape from placenta.

Michael C. Hall Does the 'C.' stand for COCK?

[quote]Has he gotten his dick sucked by a guy?

Regularly.

The new season starts this Sunday, doesn't it? Too bad I don't have Showtime.

Watch it on one of the pirate sites r166

If he's drunk, he might let you suck him.

That's about it.

[quote] Translation: Mostly Gay

I see it more as gay baiting actually. He’s always been in hetero relationships but he was a strong gay following because he’s handsome and played gay. So I don’t see it as such a terrible thing that he’s claiming occasional homo attraction. It might even be true.

Michael C Hall has a strong gay following? That's news to me.

[quote] It’s maddening and boring at the same time.

Agree. Is it useful to ask celebrities to get into this? It's not a bad answer. Sexuality is a spectrum, craves male intimacy. Sounds still straight.

I love mostly straight guys. I’ve noticed more men describe themselves as mostly straight. It’s a very good sign

You've never had a LTR, have you.

mostly straight means an open mind. Open minds are good!

Sure, hon. You won't be saying that when he chooses a woman (and their kids) over you.

I want to discuss Michael C Hall's straight fluids.

r172 6 Feet Under had a significant gay following. Many gay men at the time enjoyed Hall's performance and found it true to life, and that the show overall did a good job representing the gay community. Whether Hall continued to have a gay following beyond the show is unknown to me.

R177, I don’t catch feelings for dudes. Just mess around

[quote] I agree but I think the pace of it was too European and too introspective for an American audience.

Agreed, r135. Posted in the other thread about the greatest TV shows:

[italic]The Reason Six Feet Under doesn't appear in many media all-time lists is because it has an independent movie aesthetic rather than the high-suspense, high production values of a GoT or even Breaking Bad and the Sopranos. It's more driven by its people-centred sensibility than the story.[/italic]

It's like those '90s and early '00s indie films that Parker Posey used to star in. The ones that Harvey Weinstein's (horrid man, excellent taste) Miramax built its reputation on and you would see at festivals like Sundance. Think low budget movies like 'The Brothers McMullen', 'The Station Agent' or 'Chasing Amy'. They never achieved mainstream success, but had strong indie cult followings.

I never thought Michael C Hall was cute. Perhaps, he will fuck anything he can get.

The only time I thought he looked good was on the Dexter season 2 poster where he's smiling.

Sometimes I get tired just how shallow most gays are. It's not about his looks.

^ tender to the touch today?
