OTP Three





Matt and Blue. I used to watch Matt Dallas in Kyle XY and used to think that he'd become a really attractive man. And I was not wrong. He's very handsome. Matt went off the radar after his series went off the air and in the meanwhile he apparently met Blue Hamilton and married him five years later in 2015. Matt and Blue have been married now for awhile and they have the cutest YouTube channel. If you don't follow anybody, I'd recommend you follow them. They're quirky, and fun and smart. They now live in a farm somewhere in the wilderness and have a son (Crow) and a doggie, and a kitty and a whole menagerie of fun animals they show us at regular intervals in their channel.

Their channel has become this little oasis of normalcy in an over-instagrammed string of gay couples who put out their lives up for us to gawk at. They are terribly pedestrian in the videos they upload. I'm not saying they don't edit their lives. Of course they do. They are only showing us what they want us to see. What I'm saying is, within the confines of the artificiality of watching someone's life through the lens of YouTube, theirs is actually quite compelling in its very own way. I know it's an illusion. Very few things go unedited on social media. But it's an illusion of day-to-day life that's very endearing.

Let's see: their house is not decorated to an inch of its life. There's a sense that it's a house where people live and it's not picture perfect. They do have their sponsors, like when they cook something for the camera, but that's just part of the package of being a YouTuber. What they manage is to incorporate those things into their life, just like we would do. They also get into all kinds of projects and not all of them achieve a high rate of success. They have had to redo a lot of stuff. Hence, they are fun to watch. They do not over emphasize their obvious attractiveness: it's just there. Blue's swagger sometimes manages to be just a tad grating. I bet he's great in bed because otherwise I would snap.

They also display a real-life-couple dynamic: they discuss things and argue. They do reality checks on each other in real time and leave it on tape. They also seem to genuinely like each other and enjoy each other's company and it shows, even though there are no obvious PDAs going on. I think it's more on the loving eye of the camera when they take turns filming each other. It's subtle, but it's there. And that's refreshing.

I think they are one of those couples that actually give an idea of what a gay relationship is. Not all of us are super glam like a Hollywood couple or super sexy like two porn stars. Many of us are garden variety gays with busy lives and a mortgage and a pet. Many are raising a family. And Matt and Blue may just be the pals we talk to. I would not mind asking them to drop by for dinner. Bet they're a riot.

XOXO

      Yeah, they have moved now to a ranch/house in the middle of nowhere and they are chronicling how they are going about making the place theirs. And the kid is a joy.

    1. I know, right?
      They are super cool parents. The kid is pretty smart and curious. Have you noticed they have used his voice to say 'Peace to the world!' at the beginning of their videos?

      XOXO

    1. Yep. They are.
      Super cute couple. I like the fact that they seem very 'real'? They talk about work and family and finding a house and taking care of the farm animals they have. And they're easy on the eyes. What's not to like?

      XOXO

  5. If the "christian" right would only realize that gay couples are really no different than straight ones.... Families and families - no matter the stripe. Hope you are well! xoxo

    1. Oh, you know that xtianists will never give up thinking about what we do in bed. THAT is their fixation. They cannot see us as human beings.
      And I'm doing well! Trying to enjoy the social distancing... LOL

      XOXO

  6. Not to be taken personally....they are both handsome, but they both get on my last gay nerve. Not sure why either. I think that's where my Ice Queen status comes in.

      I could see why. Blue tends to be a little ... condescending sometimes. He obviously cares about Matt and the kid, but can be too much of a dad sometimes.

      XOXO

    And not to be snarky (therefore I will be) but where would you Uber Eats dinner from that night? 😜

  8. I was wondering what happened to him. I'd known he'd gotten married , but that was about all I'd heard. Thanks. I will have to start watching their channel.

    1. I know!
      He suddenly drop out of sight. I think he still acts here and there but they have decided to go more full-time into other things. They talk about that in one of the videos. You should check them out.

      XOXO
