AfterElton Briefs: Voting opens for "Design Star", James Franco "Howl"s, and more!

Wasn't she active in the Indy circuit in the late seventies? I could have sworn she did a couple self titled movies.

What is up with these shrieking harpies working the bimbo look? They give clueless blondes everywhere a bad reputation...aside from the one they've already earned.

On a more serious note, how many Debbies does it take to screw in a light bulb? One, but while changing it, she blames the bulb for choosing to be blown.

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie, this wasn't a blog post, it was just a homophobic, hatred againest older women mess! Trust me, don't waste your time reading this by the end of it you'll want to throw your computer out the window!

I can't be the only gay man who does not find the Nike ad offensive. When you're playing basketball - THAT AIN'T RIGHT. Believe it or not, there ARE times when even a gay man doesn't want another man's smelly balls in his face.

(Under other circumstances, I admit I would probably feel very differently... ;^D)

Also, in the Snickers ad, who's to say that was a gay man doing the power walking?

I'm not crazy about the 'Get some balls' slogan. That's just wrong. But aren't we hurting our own cause to insist that the ad was a slur on homosexuals? Doesn't that make US the ones who become the 'stereotypers' by saying that (because power-walking appears 'effeminate') the man must be gay? Why couldn't that just as easily be a straight man?

Lighten up, Frances... I think it's important for us to pick our battles a little more wisely.

The gay guys I know like guys. I think sometimes the media likes to create gay icons where none exist. Perhaps the MTF's like Kylie, or some of the drag queen crowd. Otherwise, it makes no sense. This isn't the 50's when the gay community had to idolize female performers for lack of anything better to do.

Perhaps gay publicists love her, gay concert-promoters love her, gay record-execs love her (the same ones who never give out gay male artists any support) but as for the average gay bloke it seems concocted.

I agree with you GaySpouseDotCom. Why do gay guys feel the need to worship female performers and totally disregard all the talented gay performers out there.

We as gay people should support and look up to our gay brothers and then maybe all those gay artists will be recognized.

We love men and are attracted to men so why so many gay men worship women. Let the straight men do that since they are attracted to them.

This doesn't mean that we should stop listening to female artists music. Just don't put them on a pedestal.

Gay male artists need our support and love so they can become as famous as all those female "icons".

For years I have been searching for good songs sung by gay men. I am tired of hearing songs by hetero men singing about their girlfriends and a girl they are in love with or whathave you. Lets hear some songs that reflect our lives. Men singing about men they love.

Brian, if I drank milk, you'd make me snort it back out my nose!

As the only gay man who didn't care for "Mamma Mia," I still think that Schlussel harpie is full of crap. I'm not a woman-hater; in fact, most of the gay men I know are as much feminists as most women. (By that, I mean they support equal respect and treatment for women, not that they are "effeminate" like that harpie's shrill description of the "gay man" at her movie.) Women like this broad give feminism a bad name, and make all sentient beings want to crawl under a rock. I've always avoided the term "Femenazi" because I thought it was insulting. But this contentious dickweed deserves it. (Notice how I called her a "dickweed"? I'm forcing my gayness on her! Whee!)

The blog wouldn't force its gayness on you. Unless you asked the blog to.

this Ginsberg project shows that James Franco is in a seriously gay mood. I would do nothing to discourage him.

Johnnay Galecki can play Peter Orlovsky.
