News, Reviews & Commentary on Gay and Bisexual Men in Entertainment and the Media

To Make a Long Story Short ... CNN edits, gay general, Work Out's hot new trainer, and more!

  • Hunky UK rugby player and gay icon Ben Cohen (above left, promoting testicular cancer awareness) has a write-up in the Guardian Unlimited. Apparently not everyone loves him as much as the gays, but says Ben:

Some people are really homophobic but my auntie's a lesbian and it really doesn't bother me. We're in the 21st century. They're happy and that's what it's all about. You're only on this earth once, you only get one shot at it.

  • CNN edits out gay general's question during YouTube debate because rumors of a Hillary tie. Media Matters says "bwak-bwak-bwak". I guess Republican candidates should only get questions about which are cuter: kittens or puppies?
  • Greg Hernandez of Out in Hollywood chats with Work Out's hunky (naturally!) trainer Greg Plitt.

    Hmmm, No

    If Greg Plitt is straight I don't think I'll watch the new season of Work Out.  The decision to replace Doug, a pillar of strength and morality, with a straight guy who represents many things I'm against has alienated me from the show.  I know the producers picked him because he is popular among self-hating gay men.  Gay men are more likely to support a straight male than a gay male no matter what the straight male looks like and the producers know that.  As long as that cycle continues there will still be a large percentage of self-hating gay men.  A couple days ago Brian Juergens posted for like the 5th time a picture of an almost naked Jamie Bamber while a new set of pictures of Jack Mackenroth were released.  Once again straight overrides gay in the gay community.  *Shaking head*

    Hmmm, no part dux.

     I don't really care for Greg Plitt either, but more so because I followed the link, and read the things he had to say.After reading his quotes from Greg Hernandez's blog i've come away with the impression that the guy's kind of a tool.

    The only tool

    The only tool in that write up was Greg Hernandez. If what is written there accurately reflects what Hernandez said to Greg Plitt, I would have been put off as well as an interviewee. It wasn't cute and it certainly wasn't insightful.

    That said, I'm not a fan of Workout, and Plitt certainly isn't going to draw me into it, but he's not making me any less interested in watching it either.

    Ben Cohen

    Yes, for me that photograph of the two fellows on the couch was rather arousing (to try and put it delicately...).  Hmmm, I don't know... could it possibly be that just maybe I'm, uh, gay or something?  Ha!
