Tom Daley’s Boyfriend Speaks About ‘the naked pics”

Dustin would like everyone to know that he enjoys sex and he isn't ashamed by that

Tom Daley's boyfriend Dustin Lance Black has finally spoken out about his leaked gay sex photos.

The Oscar-winning screenwriter - who has been in a relationship with the Olympic diving hunk since 2013 - had intimate pictures of himself and an ex-boyfriend leaked onto the internet in 2009 but now he's made it clear that he's no longer embarrassed by them.

The Milk writer was invited to speak at a graduation ceremony at his former college - Pasadena City College (PCC) - but they withdrew the invitation citing the leaked photos and Dustin is furious.

Writing in the college's student newspaper, he said: “This morning, I woke up to the headline that I have been disinvited to speak at my Alma Mater. The reasoning: that I was involved in a ‘scandal’ in 2009 regarding extremely personal photographs that were put up on internet gossip sites of me and my ex-boyfriend.

“For too long now I’ve sat silent on this issue. That ends here and now and with this sentence: I did nothing wrong and I refuse to be shamed for this any longer.

“In 2009 a group of people surreptitiously lifted images from my ex’s computer and shopped them around to gossip sites in a money making scheme. These were old images from a far simpler time in my life, a time before digital camera phones and internet scandals.

   

“They were photos of me with a man I cared for, a man who shared my Mormon background and who was also struggling with who he was versus where he came from. And yes, we were doing what gay men do when they love and trust each other, we were having sex. “I have never lied about my sexuality. If you invade my privacy, this is what you will find. I have sex. It brings me joy, fosters intimacy and helps love grow. I hope anyone reading this can say the same for themselves and for their parents.” He continued: “In 2010 I took the perpetrators of this theft to Federal court and Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled unequivocally that the defendants had indeed broken the law.”  

He added: “In the eyes of anyone who has seen the devastating effects this trespass has had on me personally, creatively and professionally over these many years, in the eyes of my mother and friends who have held me as I’ve cried, and under the blind scrutiny of the law of this land, I am the victim of this ‘scandal,’ not the perpetrator.

“With this cruel act, PCC’s Administration is punishing the victim. And I ask you this: If I was a heterosexual man or woman with this same painful injury in my past, would PCC’s Administration still be rescinding such an honor?”
