AfterElton Briefs: Christian and Olli vlog, Matthew feels the pressure and more!

Literally only 256 votes separate Ronnie from the first place guy in that contest, so I voted for him!!! I hope AfterElton mentions the contest again cuz 1,513 votes have already been cast for Ronnie, so he could definitely win this thing if we pulled together (you don't have to register or anything to vote, you just click the vote button, and verify your unique vote by typing some randomly generated number, to avoid spamming).

Also Michael, its weird you mentioned the lack of color in the new Eating Out movie cuz the Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss contest doesn't have any men of color for the Top 10 in the contest either :( What's up with the visibility of African American gay men? SEXY black gay people do exist, otherwise I wouldn't be here!!

I remember one Asian guy, but that's pretty much it for diversity.  In fairness, the movies are shot and set in Arizona IIRC, which is a pretty white state aside from Latinos & Native Americans--very few African-Americans or Asian-Americans.

If folks are looking for portrayals of gays of color, check out the forthcoming films "Misconceptions" "Rivers Wash Over Me" & "Two Spirits", all of which I saw at the SF Gay and Lesbian film fest, the first two of which had plum roles for African-American actors, and the third of which explored GLBTQ issues in a Native American cultural context.  Also, "Ander" was set in the Basque region of Spain, and had a main character from South America as a love interest.  (Those were just the ones I saw; there were another 10 or more films with non-white protagonists as well.)

No Brett Chukerman from Eating Out 2??!!!! Nooooo!!!!!

That man needs more exposure. He's good in my book. :D

Hmmm, couldn't you have linked to a more positive write-up of the pro-gay Potter fans?  The article was more than a little snarky and condescending; I have a pretty low opinion of these sorts of conservative web sites and don't even want to give them any traffic.

I'm like a superhero, with no powers or motivation...

Is that still on?  If a lesbian appears on the show and no one is there to watch, does the show still suck?

So a major character like Clair can turn into a lesbian but a minor barely there male character can't be gay because gay guys are gross and lebians are hot correct?

 

Now I hate this show even more. I'm glad I stopped watching last year. We gays are not fooled by this hollywood. This has nothing to do with us and everything to do with straight male bs fantasies.

I'm surprised the Eating Out franchise is still going, but I'll take it over the vile Gay Movie franchise any day, and I'll be forever grateful for the great gift that is Marco Dapper. Of the new cast, that boy on the far left, with the jug ears, looks adorable.

It's nice that Scott lighted candles for us before we came by...

Didn't Scott come across as quite homophobic/transphobic on the Real world?  I may be mixing him up with another cast mate from another season.  Over 20 years and they're all pretty much interchangeable with each other.  Except the one I dated - you know who you are - so don't be mad at me regarding my previous comment.. ;-)

Thore and Jo are just so cute together.

Is that part of offical show publicity or are the guys just giving us Great Fanservice :)

I wonder what they are saying?

 

Always knew us Potter fans were the coolest ;)

Loved the first Eating Out, only watched part of the second, but I'll be honest, I'm gonna watch this one too. guilty pleasure!

and Ollian vlogging?! have I died and gone to heaven?
