To Make a Long Story Short ... Xanadu to skate the States, High School Musical gets a little gayer, and more!

  • The gay-rific Xanadu stage musical (for which we were pretty gaga) is reportedly launching a national tour, set to start next summer in San Francisco. Break your leg warmers out of cold storage and start practicing your figure-eights!
  • Neil Patrick Harris joined fellow thesps Tim Robbins, Martin Sheen, Sandra Oh, Frances Conroy, Camryn Manheim and others in a staged reading of The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, and received this sparkling review.
  • Even though High School Musical and its sequel are suspiciously lacking in any gay characters (considering they're about musicals and all), the newly-launched stage version apparently amps up the gay-seemingness of Ryan, Sharpay's brother. (t/y Wayman for the tip!)
  • Canadian MP Scott Brison becomes the country's first federal politician to marry a same-sex partner. Two former prime ministers attend the ceremony.
  • A "Whatever Happened To..." piece on Mathew St. Patrick, who wonderfully played Keith (David's on-again, off-again boyfriend) on Six Feet Under.
  • The host of a British children's show jokes in her stand-up act that all the people behind the scenes are "gay, childless, or don't like kids." The BBC defends her comments as being obviously ironic. The news comes hot on the heels of a recent contest-fixing scandal at children's show Blue Peter. Also scandalous: the fact that there is actually a children's show called "Blue Peter".
