Out on DVD: April 24th

Not too much new gay stuff on video store shelves (when are we going to stop pretending that there are still stores that rent movies and that they are still on videotape? NEVER!), but one gay-friendly British series has finally made its way across the pond.

Shameless - The Complete First Season
This British series about a lunatic Manchester family garnered lots of praise over yonder and made its way to the States (via BBC America) in January. Gay 15-year-old brother Ian (Gerard Kearns) is having an affair with his married boss, and their relationship is apparently explored head-on (there are kisses and such), as are Ian's other dalliances -- you can check out a rather naughty and pretty funny clip over here (it features profanity, drug use, and a horrifying cover of a Gwen Stefani song, so we can't post it). Shameless also stars James McAvoy, whom you might know from The Last King of Scotland.
