...the responsibility is with Randy and the BF to keep their private pictures, private. Sometimes I think that one of them or both want these pics out, put of course that is my suspicious mind working. I agree Randysgirl, notice that we never rarely see private, personal Gale pics. I guess I have a skeptical/cynical mind. I find it suspicious as well, as if there is a "leak". Deepthroat maybe?! I do think the middle one looks photoshopped. The look on Randy's face just doesn't fit with the pic. I wonder if anyone can spot the QaF ep it is from? Someone less gaga for Gale like I am... And, I am very pleased people feel free to speak their mind here. We don't have to agree to have a good time! I don't think it is "irresponsible" to be interested in those pics, details, etc. I do find it a bit reckless to post them where they are public to EVERYONE and their MOTHER. I think some sharing is expected though, just more discretionary sharing. Does that make sense? ETA: Popperz, your icon/avatar makes me think of m-preg crack-fic... Have you read XieXie's "Assbaby Jesus"? I can't stop giggling about it.

If you were referring to me posting this, I'm sorry. I just wanted to share this with all of you seeing as I already saw these photo's (photoshopped or not) twenty times on other sites like tumblr etc. and if I can come across of them that much, I didn't realy see a problem with posting it here.
But for the one who did leak these in the first place.. I do feel it's reckless. Seeing as it's their private life.

Just so everyone's on the same page here...The photos are not photoshopped. That's why it's disturbing to me. It's not as if they were originally posted on a "public" site, like twitter. For example, when Kendra posted her photo w/Gale from "Standing on Ceremony, " there were security settings, no caveats about reposts, no having to log in to twitter to see the pics.
These are from a FB page. Although they're obviously public, you have to join FB to see them. Maybe the person who took the photos isn't very internet savvy or maybe they don't know the extent of Randy's rabid fandom. In any event, I just think it's wrong.
Oh, and I agree w/grapesmugglers. There's nothing wrong w/curiosity. "...just more discretionary sharing. Does that make sense?" It most certainly does! *g*

MissBaby, I don't think you did anything wrong. I think that once things are out on the Internet, then they are fair game. I guess that is the die-hard Free Speech Advocate in me. I believe the irresponsible party is the original poster if it wasn't "meant" to be public.
The privacy on the Internet thing is a slippery slope. Facebook is a very public site; its shady privacy policies are front page news every month or so. Anyone who pays any attention should know that posting of facebook is risky at times if you don't know what you are doing.
Anyone can make up a fake name and log into facebook, so I don't buy "It's not as if they were originally posted on a "public" site, like twitter. For example, when Kendra posted her photo w/Gale from "Standing on Ceremony, " there were security settings, no caveats about reposts, no having to log in to twitter to see the pics.
These are from a FB page. Although they're obviously public, you have to join FB to see them. Maybe the person who took the photos isn't very Internet savvy or maybe they don't know the extent of Randy's rabid fandom."
How does MissBabylon know they are "not meant for public eyes"? Like I said, the irresponsible party (if there is one) is the original poster. I think it is a bit lofty to expect the "rabid" fandom to police themselves, especially when the photos weren't specifically marked PRIVATE.
These photos might not be private just because they look candid. We don't know, so it is unrealistic to expect people to err on the side of private. I know many opened the forum today, saw those pics, and sqeeeeeee'd like a little girl.
I would like to qualify my "discretionary sharing" comment: if you have information that you know is private, etc., then by all means, discretion is definitely called for. If I am correct, Miss B just got these off some FB page that is marked public. Public means just that... If I go to work and leave my car unlocked with my laptop sitting on the back seat, I sort of expect it to be stolen... Pardon the analogy.

The pics of Randy & Brian aren't photoshopped. They were taken last July right after Endgame finished. They took a mini vacation in Maine. In the 1 pic they're picking blueberries.

I don't know how anyone would think those photos are photo-shopped. The first photo is very clear and crisp and lacks any of the tell--tale signs of a fake picture. All one has to do is look at the clothes Randy and Brian are wearing in photo # 1 and you can see they are wearing the same clothes in the second picture. In all the photos Randy looks exactly as he did last summer when he was doing Endgame. That is not what he looked like as "a young Justin"...it is what he looks like then. (Besides...if you enlarge that photo of him, Brian and the dog you can see he is unshaven. I

GS, I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but somewhere, somehow, doesn't one's internal "moral code" enter into it? I am in no way placing blame on Miss Babylon. It's possible she just saw the pics on another site and posted them here unknowingly.
This disturbs me: The people who call themselves "fans," search FB (or other networking sites that require a log in) for photos, find them, and post them on public sites w/o a shred of discretion or w/o asking for approval. I have a problem with this whole "fair game" mentality regarding the internet.
*g* I'm not above trawling the internet for pics, either. But there are some I've found that I would never post anywhere. It's simply common sense, IMHO.

thanks to the person who posted the Randy pictures, I have no issue with them being posted, Randy must know about the fandom and the fact that fans pore over every detail of his life, and try to find out what he is up to, dating etc,
if he chooses to allow private photos to be put on the net then it is his responsibiltiy to ensure they remain private and one can do that by ensuring you only allow access to your facebook or any other site to people you totally trust,
we never see anything private of gales life or loves as he obviously refuses to put anything private on the net than can be accessed by fans
I will say that Randy appears to me to be willing to lose some of his imfamous desire to remain anonymous as possible and private in order to promote his boyfriends projects such as the Judy Darling party, so if he is willing to stick his head above the parapet a little then things like this can be expected,
in my opinion if its on the net and can be accessed by people who are fans then its fair game, if they want to keep stuff private they can do so

As I stated before, Paris I agree with you completely. It seems that Randy is now willing to allow more exposure to his private life, which is not something we are used to seeing from him. It still baffles me a little bit and I wonder if he is aware of the access people are getting into his private moments. I mean he is still unwilling to talk about his private life in interviews, but is OK with his private pics being seen. It just does not make sense to me.

Allora said: *g* I'm not above trawling the internet for pics, either. But there are some I've found that I would never post anywhere. It's simply common sense, IMHO.I don't mean to sort you out in particular Allora, but your statement pretty much sums up the reality of what fans say and then what they really do....IMO. And what kind of pictures wouldn't you post? Certainly candid nude ones, but what's the likelyhood of that....unless the celebrity wants them posted. We all "trawl" for photos and news of our favorites every day (or nearly)! Anyone who denies this I am suspect of....seriously. The internet and it's appendages, Flickr, Facebook, LJ, Tumblr, Twitter, Myspace, or even this site, et al, are all security challenged IMO. And if you don't want pictures of yourself out there, cause they will be, whether through your relatives, your ex or fans....... don't have one of these accounts! Period...end of statement. Gale seems to know best ...stay off the social websites and let your agent deal with publicity, although he's okay with fan pics. But, you'll notice he doesn't allow many or any fans to photograph him solo. And why do I get a hint of envy and accusations of p'shop manips when there are pictures of Randy posted with his boyfriend/lover? Maybe it's just me.... Commence vegetable throwing if needed....

I personally think that, as a semi-celebrity, you have to be aware that becoming an actor and being on TV will make you open to this. I am sure somewhere there are personal pics of Gale on the net (friends-of-friends, family-of-friends, etc.) but we rarely, if ever, see those things. Is this coincidental or does Gale give anyone taking his pic strict orders of what they can and cannot do with it? Know I do not... I find the second option sort of unrealistic, but he has done a pretty good job protecting his privacy, and considering his "rabid" fan-girls, that is a feat fo' sho'!

Thanks for setting me straight Jenna. It's just that Randy looks so young. Being with Brian obviously agrees with him. I guess I am very naive when it comes to Facebook but surely the blame (if any) attaches to the person who put them on their FB page originally, if they did not have permission from Randy/Brian to do so, but for all we know they did - have permission that is. Who was it anyway? Was it the person who took the photos? Anyway, accepting that the photos are real I think they are very sweet and I enjoyed having the opportunity to see them and I don't think Missbabylon did anything wrong.
