Mark Indelicato Has Married and Ugly Betty Fans Will Remember Another Wedding Dance

For Ugly Betty fans, a boy inviting his boyfriend onto a wedding dance floor remains one of the show’s most tender memories. Now Mark Indelicato, the actor who played Justin Suarez, has celebrated a wedding dance of his own.

Wedding footage shared on October 11 by Hannah Einbinder shows Indelicato exchanging vows and kissing his groom, with their Hacks co-star Jean Smart officiating. The clips also show the newlyweds dancing together.

The connection to Ugly Betty is especially sweet. In a 2010 episode, Justin danced with his boyfriend Austin at his mother’s wedding, letting his family see their relationship. It was a coming-out moment built around affection and the simple decision to take someone’s hand.

For viewers who recognized themselves in Justin, that scene could carry a great deal. A young gay character was allowed tenderness, a boyfriend and a family moment that belonged within the larger story of the people he loved.

Indelicato has since spoken about how playing Justin overlapped with understanding his own sexuality. In a 2024 conversation covered by Queerty, he reflected on both the encouragement the character gave him and the difficulty of facing public scrutiny while still a teenager.

His real relationship also had a place in a 2025 Queerty interview. Indelicato showed his engagement ring and described a fiancé who reassured him when he felt insecure about his appearance.

Now that relationship has reached a new milestone, with familiar faces from his working life helping celebrate it.

Justin and Austin’s romance was fiction. This wedding belongs to Mark and his husband. Still, for those who watched him grow up on television, seeing him dance with the man he has married makes for a particularly moving connection.

Sixteen years after that memorable television scene, there is another dance to celebrate. Congratulations to the newlyweds.

Alfie Watts Was Scared to Come Out as Bisexual. His Followers Responded With Love.

Alfie Watts Was Scared to Come Out as Bisexual. His Followers Responded With Love.

Alfie Watts was introducing himself to his Instagram followers: his love of travel, his football loyalties and the everyday habits that make him who he is. Among those details, he shared something he had never said online before. He is bisexual.

The Race Across the World winner posted the personal carousel on October 6, acknowledging that putting it into the world felt frightening. As Queerty reported, the announcement appeared over a photograph of him sitting on a colourful lookout above a sweeping landscape.

It was one part of a wider introduction. Other slides covered Tottenham Hotspur, childhood judo and his dream of presenting his own travel show. He also confessed to eating straight from the cooking pan to save on washing up.

That mixture gives the post an appealing ordinariness. Bisexuality sits beside the interests, ambitions and small quirks that already make up a person’s life.

Alfie became familiar to BBC viewers when he won the fourth series of Race Across the World with schoolfriend Owen Wood in 2024. He has since become a travel creator and a presenter on the programme’s companion podcast, The Detour.

But sharing travel adventures and sharing a private part of yourself can require different kinds of confidence.

In an October 8 update, covered by Attitude, Alfie said he had received no hurtful words and thanked people for the supportive reaction.

He also described trying to suppress his sexuality, hoping that distraction could change how he felt. He said growing up around football culture had not helped him come to terms with it.

There is more he may eventually choose to explain, but Alfie made clear that he will tell his fuller story in his own time.

For anyone who recognizes the habit of keeping busy rather than facing a difficult conversation, his openness may resonate. The warmth he describes receiving is especially welcome.

Alfie has given his followers another way to know him. He gets to decide what comes next.

Andrew Scott Welcomes Queer Joy—and Says AIDS History Still Matters

Andrew Scott Welcomes Queer Joy—and Says AIDS History Still Matters

Andrew Scott is glad that audiences can watch gay people fall in love, find happiness and get their happy endings. He also believes the difficult chapters of LGBTQ+ history deserve to be remembered.

Speaking at his October 8 Screen Talk at the BFI London Film Festival, the actor welcomed joyful productions including Heated Rivalry, Heartstopper and Red, White & Royal Blue. As BFI’s account of the conversation makes clear, he sees value in a wide range of queer stories.

But Scott expressed concern that a reluctance to revisit the AIDS crisis can sometimes involve shame. He argued that responsibility belongs with governments that ignored the crisis and the stigma and prejudice surrounding it.

“That’s someone else’s shame,” he said, in remarks reported by Out.

It is an important distinction. Gay men who became ill, lost partners or faced rejection did not create the hostility they encountered. Remembering their lives need not mean accepting the shame imposed on them.

Scott’s latest film, Elsinore, gives that history a human face. He plays Ian Charleson, the Scottish actor known for Chariots of Fire who performed Hamlet at the National Theatre in 1989 while seriously ill with AIDS.

The film opened this year’s London festival on October 7. Scott, who also serves as a producer, has described the project as a love letter to actors and the theatre.

For viewers who lived through the epidemic, such stories can bring back memories of friends and lovers whose lives extended far beyond an illness. For younger audiences, they can help turn an unfamiliar period into people, relationships and experiences worth understanding.

None of that requires choosing between romance and remembrance. A joyful series can offer escape, possibility and pleasure. A historical drama can preserve experiences that might otherwise fade from view.

Scott welcomes the growing variety of gay stories on screen. His latest comments make a case for keeping that variety broad enough to include both the happiness we want to see and the people we must not forget.

Beach Volleyball Teammates Kyle Friend and Tim Brewster Are Engaged

Beach Volleyball Teammates Kyle Friend and Tim Brewster Are Engaged

Tim Brewster thought a rainy day was a perfectly good reason to postpone a lighthouse visit. His boyfriend, Kyle Friend, had eight months of planning behind a very different idea.

The former professional beach volleyball teammates got engaged beside Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, during a New England trip the weekend before their October 9 interview with Outsports.

Kyle had arranged their rings, secretly hired photographer Leah Carter and chosen the spot for his proposal. When the rain stopped, he got down on one knee with the lighthouse behind them. Tim said yes.

It was a romantic milestone for two men whose partnership began on the sand.

They started playing together in summer 2022. That November, during a tournament trip to Australia, Tim told Kyle he had feelings for him. Kyle’s answer was that those feelings were mutual.

There was already something important between them. Kyle had been openly gay in professional volleyball since 2013, and seeing him live comfortably as himself helped Tim navigate his own journey toward acceptance.

In their earlier account of becoming a couple, Tim described the difference it made to know an athlete who was both out and confident. Kyle’s example helped him on and off the court.

That gives the engagement an especially lovely layer. Someone who helped make an openly gay future feel possible is now the person Tim plans to share that future with.

Their sporting lives have taken different directions. Tim, 26, remains a competitive beach volleyball player.

Kyle, 37, has retired from professional competition and works as a volleyball commentator.

Tim says his LA28 Olympic qualification cycle begins in December, while Kyle faces a busy commentary schedule. They have not set a wedding date, but are looking toward fall 2028.

For now, they have a proposal to celebrate—and photographs of a moment Kyle had quietly been preparing for months.

Sometimes a rainy sightseeing trip is worth insisting on. Congratulations, Kyle and Tim.

Greg Louganis on Being Single at 66—and Making Room for Love

Greg Louganis on Being Single at 66—and Making Room for Love

Greg Louganis has spent much of his life being extraordinary. His latest reflection touches on something wonderfully ordinary: figuring out where another man might fit into a life that already has its own comfortable rhythm.

The 66-year-old Olympic diving legend recently wrote about being single on Facebook on October 8.

He describes a life with early nights and early mornings, and the challenge of meeting someone while growing accustomed to doing things his own way.

For anyone who has spent years living independently, the tension may be recognizable. A date sounds lovely. Rearranging the weekend, sharing the bathroom and negotiating bedtime might require a little more thought.

Greg has experienced marriage, too. He wed Johnny Chaillot in 2013, and announced their separation in 2021. His latest post turns toward patience and appreciating his own company.

Many readers remember him as the diver who won four Olympic gold medals across the 1984 and 1988 Games. His Team USA biography also recognizes his subsequent work as an LGBTQ+ activist.

That history makes it especially welcome to hear him discuss a part of gay life that rarely gets the glamorous treatment: being older, being single and still working out what you want.

There is no universal answer. Some people want to share a home. Others would love regular companionship while keeping their own space. Some are perfectly content without a romantic relationship.

Wanting affection does not cancel out the pleasure of independence. Equally, enjoying a quiet home does not require closing the door on love.

Greg’s reflection leaves room for that complexity. A single life can be full and valuable, with or without another chapter of romance.

And if someone does come along, perhaps the question becomes: what could we enjoy together?
