AfterElton Briefs: NPH Claims the Double Rainbow, Will Young's Lovebox, and JTF's Hot Emmy Date

Plus dating a werewolf vs a vampire, Jujubee discusses Wig-Gate on Drag U, and Joe Manganiello strips down for Muscle and Fitness.

Neil Patrick Harris is Double Rainbow ATW!

• Neil Patrick Harris likely has more right to claim the Double Rainbow than most celebrities, and so he has on his Big Gay Roadtrip. Don't have the right weather to access the power of the Double Rainbow where you are? Just try this art project on both sides of the windshield.

• For those of you that have a life and didn't know, a splinter of 4chan has declared war on Gawker. Gawker has been experiencing some fairly serious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. But the true winner may be TheAwl.com, who summed it all up as "Seriously, if I miss today's Gawker etiquette piece on 'How To Blow Your Nose On The Subway (For Gays)' because of this I am gonna be pissed."

• There's a fundraising match challenge for the Westboro Baptist Church protest at Comic-Con. They're taking donations and soliciting timekeepers.

• Reader Dave reminds us that America's hat, Canada, has been allowing marriage equality for five years today, and is yet to be the subject of any smiting or rain of frogs (outside of clumsy waiters in restaurants in Quebec). Personally, I think he's just gloating.

• Jesse Tyler Ferguson talks to NPR about Shakespeare in the Park, Modern Family, and the man he's taking to the Emmy Awards - his brother. He also says he'd love to switch roles with Jane Lynch, just for fun.

Here's Jesse in the bamboo maze on top of the museum over the weekend.

• Meanwhile, Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan talks to E! about the upcoming season. They've already written 14 of the 24 episodes, and one highlight is sure to be when we meet Cameron's mother. I can't wait to see the type of woman that inspired his self expression, including Fizbo the Clown.

• Will Young performed as part of the Stonewall presentation at the Lovebox Music Festival over the weekend and helped hand out "Some people are gay! Get over it!" stickers.

• California state Sen. Roy Ashburn has penned a mea culpa about his voting record against gay rights. It's amazing how getting a DUI with a young Hispanic male in the car outside a gay bar can change someone's perspective.

• Towelroad points out this article from Details about how even men who think they're pro-gay aren't comfortable with the thought of having a gay son or a child that doesn't demonstrate classic gender behaviors. Experts point out parents are often projecting their fears of how hard life was for gay members of their own generation on a new generation.

• Logo begins showing the classic comedy series Strangers with Candy tonight. As part of that, we bring you the makeover scene, which always made me giggle.

• This collection of the Most Homoerotic Sports Photos Ever Taken makes me want to send Huffington Post a dictionary so they can grasp the meaning of "homoerotic." Or at least season 2 of Supernatural.

• Several of you sent in this NPR story on an Uniquely Indian Perspective on Gay Marriage. In some cultures it's worse to be older and unmarried than it is to be gay, and they look forward to arranged gay marriages, which just makes my head spin.

• This interview with Drag U's Jujubee assures us that there's no lingering animosity between her and Raven over Wig-Gate.

In related news, Alec Mapa assures us that he, Jujubee and Ongina are not the same person.

• AmericaBlog tells us that fancy Don't Ask Don't Tell survey the Pentagon paid $.4 million for has no real safeguards to keep it as secure as the voting for the MTV Movie Awards. In fact, John Aravosis filled it out three times, from the same computer. At least he's on our side.

• Above True Blood's Joe Manganiello talks about his workout routine and his upcoming Muscle and Fitness cover with ET. But with Parade, he talks about dating as a werewolf vs as a vampire. The big plus? "Alcide can offer a lot of things that the vampires can't, such as a brunch date. He can take her out to brunch." So just like Twilight, werewolves on True Blood are totally gay. My evidence? This trailer for the movie Vampires Suck h/t octobercountry.
