I have gay friends; I know he’s gay."

• Out singer Rufus Wainwright has taken to his blog to set the record straight about his recent comments concerning same-sex marriage. He wants everyone to know that he fully supports gay marriage, but it's not something he's interested in (right now, but maybe someday!)

It will debut in both select theaters and on the here! network starting February 20th.
