James Haven, the older brother of Angelina Jolie, has publicly come out as gay in a personal letter centered on identity, honesty, and self-acceptance.

Haven explained that the announcement was not about becoming a different person. Instead, it was about allowing others to see more clearly who he has always been.

His former wife, Romi Imbelli, has publicly expressed support as he begins this new chapter. Their story also highlights how personal truth can bring both emotional difficulty and a sense of freedom.

Haven’s message ultimately focuses on living without shame and asking loved ones to respond with compassion rather than judgment.

It wasn’t something Ominis was into, but Sebastian enjoyed it, so by proxy, Ominis did too.

Ominis preferred a classic vanilla whip, where Sebastian always got a Twister that turned his tongue blue.

“And then this Faux guy started yelling at me because apparently, you shouldn’t throw flashbangs towards where your teammates are, even though the enemy was right beside him,” Sebastian said, berry ice melting in his mouth. “His fault for not seeing them, if you ask me.”

Ominis hummed in acknowledgment, the sound muffled by the ice cream.
