AfterElton Briefs: Don't Ask, Don't Tell Reaches Boiling Point, Santino Rice Speaks, Adam Lambert is G-A-Y, plus Diddy Is Not

Sexy Max Ryan on being "man meat" in Sex and the City 2, Promises, Promises opens strong, True Blood gets violent, and has anyone seen Kevin & Scotty?

Air Force Major Mike Almy

  • Above you can see United States Air Force Major Mike Almy, the latest to join "Stories from the Frontlines" from the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. He's written an open letter to President Obama calling for repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell by telling his personal discharge story, which doesn't serve the national interest.
  • On that same subject, Michaelangelo Signorile took his Sirius-XM radio show to Washington, D.C. for a summit with gay leaders. Participants quickly turned on the Human Rights Campaign, and calls came for the leaders to resign if Don't Ask, Don't Tell isn't repealed, and the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) isn't passed - and fast. Click to watch.

  • In February we mentioned Mikey, a closeted hockey player blogging as HockeyKidMN. It inspired a vigorous debate in the comments as to the reality of Mikey, which has come into larger question in the last few days. I think it's safe to say, regardless of whether Mikey was real, he made a difference in the lives of youths around the world, including regular AfterElton.com reader Madeleine, who helped promote a community around Mikey. Personally, I'd like to remind those folks that even if Mikey may not have been real, the good done by all you finding each other for support is very real, and should not be diminished by recent events. Which isn't to excuse any potential unethical or illegal actions that might have taken place in any potential fakery.
  • True Blood has released the final "Waiting Sucks" promo before the season starts in June, and this one features both Sookie and Eric, and may be a little spoilery.

  • Over the weekend, Adam Lambert dropped into London superclub G-A-Y to perform, and we just had to show a few pictures of all the glitter and sparkle.
The eye makeup just gets more and more elaborate.
