To Make a Long Story Short ... Genre makes a faux-mo faux pas, Dirty Laundry gets hung out to dry, and more!

  • Former Washington Redskins football player Dave Kopay came out as a gay man on this day in 1975 (he later published an autobiography that addressed being a closeted athlete). Recently Kopay donated a million smackers to build an LGBT student center at the University of Washington. 
  • Gay mag Genre admitted to faking a "reality couple" (with a Playgirl Man of the Year, no less) on the cover of a recent issue focusing on long-term relationships. (Queerty broke and Towleroad then added to the story.) Well, I've had a longer-term relationship with Playgirl than with pretty much anything else, so it kind of works for me.
  • Keith Boykin penned an impassioned piece on his blog today about the recent decision of the Clearview Chelsea theater to pull gay African-American comedy Dirty Laundry from its screen after its first week amidst allegations of box-office box-stuffing. (We reviewed the film last week.)
  • DirecTV has pulled the plug on the absolutely crazy soap Passions (which has had its share of gay goings-on), after picking it up at a yard sale from NBC earlier this year. Could possibly regift to Oxygen.
