AfterElton Briefs: Michelangelo Signorile chats with the Catholic League, catching up with Peter Paige, and more!

Birthday boy James Marsters (with John Barrowman)

In a continued effort to bring you all that is important in the world of gay entertainment and ensure that you are being spoon-fed images of gorgeous, commoditized manflesh, we present the newly-minted AfterElton Briefs. Following the usual assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

  • Happy birthday to gay-fave Torchwood and Buffy vet James Marsters, who turns 46 today. Holy eff, did I just say "46"?! We should all be so lucky as to look this good and get paid to make out with John Barrowman at that age.
  • Remember former Westlife member Brian McFadden's comments about how gays aren't real males and only gay men wear pink? Well apparently we were wrong to take any of that as an insult. Thanks for clearing that up for us, Brian!
  • Here's a catch-up with Queer As Folk alum Peter Paige.
  • Above, from our sibs at 365Gay: Mike Headrick reports from Salt Lake City on the LDS Church's postponement of a meeting with LGBT followers.
  • And yesterday gay radio host Michelangelo Signorile invited Catholic League honcho Bill Donohue onto his show to discuss blogs that he thinks should have their creds pulled from the DRC, including Towleroad.

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

This guy!

    I can't resist rage; James Marsters can't resist time.

    This Donohue clown is filling me with fury, but whatever, I've already been yelling about it all day, I'm not going to yell again here. (Okay, yes, I'm going to yell again. Pope Ratzinger has stonewalled investigations of sex abuse in the European church, that is why there hasn't been a big public scandal over there. Treating abuse in the church as an American problem is bullshit, and Donohue knows it. Okay, now I'm done yelling for real.)

    So, Spike from Buffy is 46, eh?

    No, not "distant gay traces" -- it's distingué traces!

    Since Barrowman was born in 1967 and is 41 I really don't think Marsters being 46 is all that much of a span of age as far a kissing  is concerned!!

     

    Just another example of ageism that I could really do without being I am just a year behind Marsters!

    I think the bigger issue is

    I think the bigger issue is that many of us still see him as "Spike" from Buffy.  In that he was supposed to be early 20s at the most (well, died in his early 20s). So, it isn't agesim, so much as surprise that someone who played a teenager's lover (and looked the part) would actually be 46.

    I love him on TW, but he'll always be Spike to me... :-)
