Some of the gay theorising is certainly aggressive too (or outright insane) but most of what I've seen is pretty gentle and harmless, and it's important to acknowledge where it comes from.

Yes I agree. I am always careful to not sound TOO unhinged when I'm just thinking out loud about these things and theorizing. I mentioned "kaylors" before-- they are the unhinged ones who 'ship' Karlie and Taylor aggressively, track their planes, and insist they are secretly married etc etc. But there's not too many of them nowadays seeing as Taylor and Karlie have not been seen publicly together in years now. Well, that, plus Karlie having not one but TWO weddings with Josh Kushner and now being pregnant. The biggest kaylor blog finally deleted just recently. (Yes, I did read the kaylor blogs occasionally because they were entertaining in their insanity)

I would have thought that too if not for certain actions of hers and the #nohomo comments of hers like I mentioned. Now I think she
used to like the speculation, (why else would she have done that SUPER gay Vogue cover with Karlie, after all?) but then something we refer to as Kissgate happened (grainy video footage of a very drunk Taylor and Karlie possibly kissing at a concert began circulating on all the media outlets). I imagine that might of freaked her out a bit (since after that, she gradually stopped being publicly touchy feeling with Karlie)-- maybe the speculation became too real at that point. Prior to that I think she may in fact have been subtly encouraging it or even testing the waters for a possible coming out, due to the huge success of her album 1989 building her confidence and such. But now, I suspect she may eventually go the "lavender marriage" route and never come out publicly, as many other before her have done. (which is perfectly valid of course.)
