To Make a Long Story Short ... Sunday New York Times Edition

Like most good blue state liberals, one of my favorite Sunday morning activities is to hang out with Sunday New York Times. And the Times usually has at least one if not more than one article of gay interest. So this week I thought I'd bullet a few that I thought folks might find interesting!

  • Seth Rogen made a big splash with this summer's Knocked Up and in this article he talks with writing partner Evan Goldberg about working together. But what really struck was the accompanying pic of the two fellows holding hands for no apparent reason and with no explanation. Cool!
  • It's not a big surprise gay boys like Mo'Nique so much.
  • The male character in Stardust who gives hair and fashion makeovers, and wears a tutu isn't gay? I'm down with that. (FYI, that info comes toward the end!)
  • How the internet helped bring gay men's grooming techniques to the straight masses.

Not to be cynical...

but I wonder if that photo is just the latest example of the "ha ha, they're acting like they're homos!!!/being a homo is so weird and if we sort of act that way but not really, ha ha!" humor that awful Judd Apatow pushes.

gay posers or just cool Canadians?

I thought it was more of a funny "Canadians can touch each other and not be gay." kind of thing.  Seriously... girls can do it without freaking people out, so why can't guys?  I think it's more because it's a statement that they're a "team" because they grew up together/ share a strong bond of friendship kind-of-thing.

Canada is like a billion times cooler.  They make better horror films, have mad sexy mounties, support gay marriage and universal health care, and most importantly: RYAN REYNOLDS! (nuff said!)

Stardust

Er... have you seen Stardust, or are you just judging from the book? I saw the movie last week, and the dress-wearing character does indeed like the gentlemen, as evidenced by a brief joke near the end. Still, it's a welcome portrayal that's quite entertaining without coming off as homophobic in the least.
