Live with Regis and Kelly (Syndicated) Check local listings
Regis and Kelly are celebrating the upcoming Tony Awards by giving nominated shows show a national audience. Today, bisexual Broadway star Raúl Esparza makes an appearance performing with the cast of Company, a romantic comedy musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth.

Oprah Winfrey (Syndicated) Check local listings
Today's episode promises a meeting between a gay man and the skinhead who attacked him and left him for dead. This reminds me of the other reason why visibility is important -- the more visible we are, the more indefensible acts of violence like this become to the general populace.

As the World Turns (CBS) 1:00 PM EST
We hear that Noah Mayer, love interest to Luke Snyder and guypal to Maddie Coleman, makes another appearance today. Unfortunately, since Noah's storyline hasn't picked up momentum, confirmation is hard to find, but we can tell you what ATWT actors Van Hansis and Jake Silberman is doing today: they're filming scenes in Branson, MO, along with the rest of Oakdale's teens.

Screened Out: Gay Images in Film (Turner Classic Movies) starting at 5:00 PM EST
Tonight's films look at gay portrayals before the Hays Code required films to meet moral approval before being released. Tonight's films include Cecil B. Demille's The Sign of the Cross, an adaption of W. Somerset Maugham's Our Betters, and Wonder Bar.

Be sure to check out Queersighted.com, the official online partner, for more information on the month long event.

Hidden Palms (CW) 8:00PM EDT
Okay, we know that this show is pretty weak. But tonight there's a twist at the end that's kind of interesting, and the episode heavily features gay actor Leslie Jordan, who plays Jessie Jo, Johnnie's AA sponsor and kind of "fairy godmother". If you miss it, don't worry -- we'll have a recap up tomorrow.

Top Chef: 4 Star All Star (Bravo) 10:00 PM EST
Eight chefs from the first two seasons of Top Chef return to compete in a charity competition and serve their dishes to season three's chefs. Gay chef Dave Martin is one of the returning chefs. Unfortunately, Stephen and Tiffani are also back. For a sneak look at tonight's All Star show, go here. And we interviewed Top Chef's new judge, Queer Eye alum Ted Allen. Check back on Tuesday to see what he has to say about the new season and the sexual tension between him and co-judge Tom Colicchio.
