Unfortunately,
some gay blogs are making the Celtics out to be a hotbed of
homophobia when in fact both Doc
Rivers, the coach,
and Robert Parish, a former player and now a member of the
team’s community relationship department, had positive, if
realistic, things to say about the topic. Sadly, both men
might be right about the time not being right. On the other
hand, it’s hard to imagine when the “right” time might be.
RAFE
VERSUS CLAY: THE GAY SMACKDOWN
Now
that’s a reality show I’d like to see. It’s been a few weeks
since I last checked in on the gay contestants over at Survivor:
Guatemala
and The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. Both Rafe
(Survivor) and Clay (The Apprentice) are
still in the running, although if I were a betting man, I’d
wager on Rafe to last a lot longer than Clay. The fans over
at TelevisionWithoutPity.com have much to say about both contestants,
and if I were Clay, I think I’d stick with reading the Wall
Street Journal. Many viewers tend to find the hunky Texan
arrogant and irritating, and more than one is surprised he
hasn’t been fired already. Rafe, on the other hand, is becoming
something of a fan favorite. Yes, he’s often described as
dorky, but it seems to be meant affectionately and he’s also
described as sweet and decent–sort of the anti-Richard Hatch.
Speculation is that Rafe will go deep into the game. But the
best news? To my mind it has to be the fact the neither men’s
orientation hardly rates a mention. Now that’s the kind of
reality I like best.
TV
TIDBITS
Online
gossip has been running feverish about which
character
on Commander in Chief was going to be outed as a
friend of Barney. (Barney Frank,
that is. No, not Barney Fife from Mayberry R.F.D. You know
who I mean. The gay congressman
from Massachusetts.
Come on, people!) Speculation
had centered on Geena Davis’s
hunky son, played by former reality contestant
Matt Lanter, but official word (from an ABC press release,
no less) has it that it’s going to be Anthony Azizi's Vince,
the Palestinian-American aide to the president. Vince will
not only be outed on the Nov 15th episode, but
it will be revealed that he’s HIV positive. And in a complete
stretch of credibility, the evil Republican played by Donald
Sutherland will try and use the information against the administration.
Come on—who would ever believe a Republican trying to smear
someone?
And
over on Everwood, spoiler sources say one of the
characters already on the show is going to be revealed to
be gay (and no, it's not Reid). Speculation is running hot
and heavy that its teenage piano prodigy Kyle. No word on
whether or not the evil class president will try and take
advantage of the news.
