Some of our misspent early adulthood was spent panting over actor Dean Cain, who made hearts swoony in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and gay romantic comedy The Broken Hearts Club — but now we’re retracting those pants, since he’s outed himself as a Trump supporter.
As NewNowNext points out, intent to break our hearts and remind us everything is terrible, Cain has joined the ranks of Antonio Sabato Jr. and Scott Baio, telling Access Hollywood, “I voted for Trump. He has my support.”
“I wanted to change the system. I was not a fan of Hillary Clinton’s. I didn’t like her cadre of people around her, and I don’t like career politicians.”
His most recent reminder where he falls on the political spectrum came earlier this month when he confessed to Tucker Carlson that his fellow actors by his beliefs:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“They look at me as if I’m an alien. I don’t support every policy of the president’s… but it’s crazy. If you like one thing, or you come out and you’re supporting him, you’re certainly aligned with that.”
Is he serious?
Because what we need is to feel even more paranoid and uncertain right now, Netflix is teasing Black Mirror‘s 4th season with a jerky, spliced-up trailer big on jumpcuts and electronic squelches that promises to fulfill all your wildest dystopian fantasies.
Tori Amos shared the second track from her album Native Invader, which is set for an early September release. Of the propulsive track “Up The Creek” and the album’s theme in general, Amos says:
“The songs wrestle with the question: what is our part in the destruction of our land, as well as ourselves, and in our relationships with each other?
In life there can be the shock of unexpected fires, floods, earthquakes, or any cataclysmic ravager – both on the inside and outside of our minds. Sonically and visually, I wanted to look at how Nature creates with her opposing forces, becoming the ultimate regenerator through her cycles of death and re-birth. Time and time again she is able to renew, can we find this renewal for ourselves?”

Featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, Logic’s latest track “1-800-273-8233” is an ode to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, and it comes equipped with a video revolving around a gay teen at his the end of his rope after his relationship with another man is revealed, leaving him rejected by his father, his boyfriend’s father, and his school peers.
It stars Coy Stewart and Modern Family’s Nolan Gould, who explains why he took the role:
“I think what’s so specifically so amazing about how they chose to tell this story to the 1-800 song, they could have chose any two characters dealing with suicide, but they chose focus on two gay characters, which I think it timely and super important at the moment with so much hate in the world, the people of color, the LGBTQ community and trans people. I think this message is really important.”
From the very beginnings of time, even before dinosaurs roamed the Earth in search of phat beats, The Song of Summer was here, waiting to lull us into submission with its ubiquity and infernal catchiness.
The below video charts every song of summer since 1958, so sadly Syrian banger “Hurrian Hymn #6” from 1400 B.C. isn’t included, though it remains the proverbial toe-tapper and full-throttle club banger.

Funny how these 3 actors are all coming out as trump supporters now that they have no career. Look at me!
The summer hits video was fun to watch.

I think Dean Cain is the only one that supports tRump. The Tori Amos and Logic just have the misfortune of being lumped in with him on the same page. Little bit confusing.

I am assuming that ChrisK meant the 3 stated to be Trump supporters. Dean Cain, Antonio Sabato Jr and Scott Baio.

Sorry, I can understand someone believing in everything Trump stands for, but I can’t understand anyone being dumb enough believe in him.
crowebobby
“to” believe in him.

From the beginning and with no knowlegde of his politics, Cain came off as a moron. He was never hot enough to counter that.

Dean Cain can get this anytime… just put a bag over his political beliefs. I have never heard him once espouse any anti-LGBT, racist, or xenophobic rhetoric, and it is absolutely possible to support someone while sharing all of their beliefs. For instance, I voted for Clinton, even though the loathsome bitch ran a terrible campaign and pandered in the most mechanical and brazenly pathetic manner possible. But, Trump was not an option by any stretch!!!

“I wanted to change the system”
Why, because this system has managed to make this the greatest country in the world since it’s inception isn’t enough for you? Bitch, please.

Let’s see. Racists support Trump. Trump has done many things that look awful racists. So can one conclude that those that support Trump are racists?
Not necessarily, but if you lay down with dogs you’re going to get fleas!!!

A male escort acquaintance of mine told me over 13 years ago that Dean Cain was a major client of his with repeated hook ups taking place on a boat belonging to Cain that he kept docked in Marina Del Rey. Now I can’t tell you whether it’s true or not, but this guy certainly had no good reason to make it up, it was just mentioned in casual conversation. Normally I don’t dabble in rumor, but in light of Cain’s moronic and tone deaf support of Trump it seemed like an interesting story from the past worth sharing.

That is typical BS from Señorita Cain. If you are “for” Trump you are the enemy of any decent person- not to mention the growing victims’ list of his atrocities that he conveniently forgets. For one brief moment, this f^^^ed-up country did not focus entirely on the straight white male. Now, we’re all paying the price.

Dean Cain is a perfect example of what happens when you spend time focusing more on what you are trying to get away from than where you are headed, politically speaking. A bitch not looking where she is going will eventually get hit by a bus. Unfortunately, we are ALL getting hit by the Trump bus here!

After Trump made all his birther, anti-immigrant, sexual harassing, etc., etc., etc. statements during the election, you still voted for him, then, sorry, you are a racist and a sexist. You don’t get to attend Klan rallies and then just say you were there for the snacks.
Jack Meoff
Interesting choice of pic to use for Dean Cain he hasn’t looked that hot in years. I didn’t think he still had an acting career I had to look him up on IMDb.
PinkoOfTheGange
Okay dean what has trump done for you lately? The west wing is full of Wall Street and Pentagon veterans…this is different from what Hil’s staff would of look liked how? Well besides being near all old white guys. Is that the part you like? No icky girls?

Let’s not act like it’s just Scott Baio, Antonio Sabato and Dean Cain that support Trump. The overwhelming majority of White Men in America voted for Donald Trump. That’s why he’s President.
