In what way are they being taken advantage of? They get to have sex, and may get a minor film role out of it. That's pretty much a win-win situation.
Would you make the same claim if the 'minor actor' were a woman agreeing to open her legs to get a small part? This isn't about the sex, it's about manipulation and courruption and the gender of whoever is involved simply doesn't come into it.
You honestly think they all get roles out of it, oh please.
Exactly. And if, after some lad (or lass for that matter) has done a turn but the role doesn't materialise, as I'm sure it often doesn't, what do you do then? If you go telling tales, not only do you risk looking like a cry baby, but far more seriously you can kiss goodbye to any acting career you were hoping for, at least in Hollywood.
Creepy as hell. There's no way you can deny that. I'd say exactly the same if it was an older man and a young girl. There's something predatory about this Lance Black guy.
there seems to be the feel that there is another side to Dustin. Is he connected to the world of gay porn or am I barking up the wrong tree? Very strange

If it is true, some/many of the teenagers are probably underage. I don't think a relationship between a 15 year old and a 40 year old would ever be equal. You have a strange moral code if you think that's OK to be honest.

That's not what he was saying at all, he was clearly referring to consenting adults.

The allegations clearly refer to very young men though. Taylor is only 23 now, so god knows how old he was then.
It's still immoral with consenting adults. If someone moves to LA and is pretty broke and desperate, then offering them roles for sexual favours would be taking advantage. I'm sure directors are quite aggressive about the whole thing too, so it's not exactly just a fair exchange.
I'm confused here as to what everyone's problem is with Lance. I know he was in a video which was leaked where he was having sex bareback with another guy, but I don't see what the big issue is with that if him and the other guy were in a relationship. Couples do make these sorts of videos, it's not unusual. Is there something else Lance has done? Why are people calling him seedy?

I agree - what consulting adults do in the bedroom is their own business as long as it is legal.

Firstly he was preaching safe sex around the time the video came out and secondly that is not the only reason people think he's shady, he along with Bryan Singer and Ronald Emmerich have a reputation around Hollywood and its a seedy one.
Very odd. I was born in 1981 and I would view someone born in 1994 (like Tom Daley) to be too young for me.
Dustin Lance Black was born in 1974
I'm about the same age as you and I agree. I think Tom is particularly vulnerable; he lost his father at a young age and has really devoted his life to one thing, so he would be very sheltered in ways.
A 40 year old has nothing in common with a 20 year old. Dustin probably has a rather weak personality and enjoys being able to dominate younger men.

What a strange post.

Anyway - good luck to them.

No I don't. That's why I said "may".

People can take turns you know.
Will end in tears.

I think this is the case as Tom also waited until his Father passed away to come out. Very sad that he lost his Dad when his Dad was so young.

Him and Tom seem happy.
Surely that's all that counts?

Very "softly spoken" !
