Actor Matthew Marsden was called out for his hypocrisy after declaring on X, formerly Twitter, that July is 'Straight Pride Month' despite having posed for the cover of the gay magazine 'Attitude' earlier in his career.

Actor Matthew Marsden—best known for roles in films like Black Hawk Down and on soaps like Coronation Street—was called out for his hypocrisy after declaring on X, formerly Twitter, that July is 'Straight Pride Month' despite having posed for the cover of the gay magazine Attitude earlier in his career.

Marsden, who was born in England and is an active supporter of conservative politics in the United States, wrote the following message:


"I am hearby announcing that July will now be straight pride month. It’s about time we came out of the shadows. Who is with me?"

You can see his post below.

In another post, he decided to "announce" his heterosexuality.

And in yet another, he called on others to "join me" and "come out as straight" because "We are stronger together."

But it didn't take long for one social media sleuth to point out the actor's hypocrisy given that he, who had a successful career as a model before making it as an actor, once posed for Attitude earlier in his career.

The British magazine is the largest and most recognizable gay lifestyle magazine in the world and sold in many countries in both physical and digital formats.

And the social media user noted that the actor's stance on "Straight Pride" is odd given that he was once "Happy to pose and get your top off in the gay magazines & perform at Pride events."

Marsden feigned ignorance and suggested the X user had gone on a tangent before adding:

"Secondly, I was on the cover of a LOT of magazines. What does that have to do with anything?"

You can see his response below.

The actor later lashed out at critics, writing:

"They didn’t like me saying #straightpride at all, did they? I am glad that some people show their hypocrisy so blatantly now."
"The left has zero sense of humor and are absolutely inconsistent with their application of tolerance. But you already knew that."

You can see his post below.

When another social media user also brought attention to the issue of Attitude Marsden once posed for, Marsden still didn't seem to get why his posts were hypocritical.

The mockery was swift.


It’s crucial to recognize that “Straight Pride” doesn’t exist because straight individuals aren’t typically raised to feel shame about their sexual orientation.

Heterosexual people don’t face accusations of immorality or sinfulness for their romantic relationships. Heterosexual people don’t lose their jobs or face arrest or imprisonment in numerous countries just because of who they love or marry. Additionally, they aren’t at risk of violence or harm due to others objecting to their sexual orientation.

Other conservatives, notably far-right pundit James Lindsay, have alleged Pride celebrations serve as a conspiracy to incite conservative attacks against the LGBTQ+ community.

Democratic Rep. Perfectly Calls Out Hypocrisy Of Trump's 'Department Of War' Rebrand

California Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs called out the hypocrisy of President Donald Trump's "Department of War" rebrand after news outlets reported that it's merely a "secondary title" for the Department of Defense (DOD) and not a legal name change.

The department is only being given alternate labels, which is a symbolic rebrand more than anything substantive. The official name will remain the same unless Congress passes a law to change it.

The Italian journalist drew backlash after explicitly excluding Edebiri from a question about the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements—two movements rooted in women’s voices and racial justice, a.k.a. exactly the communities Edebiri belongs to.

A Truly Disturbing Drawing Of Epstein With Young Girls From His 'Birthday Book' Is Sparking Outrage

Social media users have reacted with outrage after the House Oversight Committee released a drawing of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein handing young girls candy next to a drawing of himself being massaged by several women.

The panel released a redacted copy of a “birthday book” given to Epstein for his 50th birthday. The more than 230-page volume contains crude sexual jokes, references to sex with underage girls, and a note allegedly from President Donald Trump that includes the outline of a nude woman and alludes to a “wonderful secret” the two purportedly shared.
