Leave it to a queer journalist to set the record straight.
Matt Baume describes himself as a “writer, storyteller, and video maker based in Seattle whose work focuses on LGBT issues.” His Marriage Watch YouTube channel documented the fight to equality week by week. He is also a friend to our world having made a cameo in TitanMen’s “Cauke for President.”
Today, he doesn’t weigh in on the Sam Smith – Dustin Lance Black Oscar flap. Rather, he presents Oscar’s queerest moments and explains why he thinks, “it’s a GOOD thing that Sam lost count.”
Even Dustin Lance Black seems to agree.
Well this has proven to be a lively day on Twitter. From humor to anger. The former my intent… in defense of history. Much love to all.

Dear Internet: @TomDaley1994 and @samsmithworld are pals. They text. Thus my surprise Sam took me for a closet case! Feel free to laugh.

As for that 1989 opening number Matt called “the tackiest and most wonderful moment in broadcast history” …
Oy vay!
OMG….we get it… He got it wrong…please let it go.
