AfterElton Briefs: Freedom To Marry Week, the AFA fails to pollute the airwaves, and more!

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

  • Out fashion designer Marc Jacobs hit the streets of NYC last night looking like a cross between a Wiggle, a spinster librarian, and Sinead O'Connor. Oh, and leave it to Marc to find a way to turn the necessity of trimming his Fashion Week guest list into a status symbol.
  • Freedom To Marry Week is in full swing, as nationwide demonstrations were held today to protest the government's refusal to recognize same-sex marriage. It's not too late to participate, as there are events planned through Sunday.
  • After pressure from the Human Rights Campaign, Michigan Television station WOOD-TV has decided to pull a controversial anti-gay special produced by the American Family Association. Titled Speechless: Silencing Christians, the special purported to "reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation and religious freedom." Whatever.
  • Well, we warned you about it a few months ago and above you can see the trailer for Oy Vey! My Son is Gay!, starring John Lloyd Young as the son in question, with Lainie Kazan as his mother, Jai Rodriguez as his boyfriend, and somehow ... Carmen Electra as some kind of lure to heterosexuality. It looks like there are going to be exactly zero surprises, but its heart is in the right place.
  • And finally out reporter sprite Michael Ausiello has confirmed that Nicollette Sheridan is leaving Desperate Housewives later this season. Actually Michael isn't convinced that her character Edie is leaving, just the actress. Could a re-cast be on the horizon?
  • Oh, and this just in ... Michael is also reporting that USA's The Starter Wife has been given the axe. Damn! Now we won't get to see gay character Rodney do nothing of any consequence anymore.

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

This guy!

    I'm sure they've got their heart in the right place. But I found that movie preview really offensive. It reminded me of that other irritating movie, Mambo Italiano. That movie is 6 years old. What's this movie's excuse?

    What is up with these fashion designers who can barely dress themselves???

    They give gay a bad name.

    ...and if they do they should be slapped.  I'm fairly sure I've seen Gwen Stefani in that exact same outfit.

    Pity given that otherwise he's a hottie.

    will change dramatically if ever you go to a gay disco in Scotland on St Andrew's Day! OK, kilts aren't skirts but I can still highly recommend the gay Scottish experience lol

    Kilts and Catholic School Girls...

    Notice a similarity?

    Actually, I have a (straight) cousin whose rather too into the whole kilt thing. I told him that the only people who can legitimately wear kilts are people belonging to ethnic groups with a history of it. Our's is not such a group. Hence I accuse him of looking like a Catholic schoolgirl or a Sailor Moon character.

    Although I do vaguely remember a hillarious line from In Living Color, in one of their "Men on Film" skits.   The two flaming commentators were discussing a trip to Scotland:  "It was so nice to see all those boys exploring their femininity. But just a word of advice girls: plaid is out!"

    But as noted, the "kilt" under discussion isn't even really a kilt. It looks like something he picked up at The Limited.

    while promoting a film called 51st State, processed magnificently around the sundry chat shows of the UK wearing a kilt. And he rocked the look. To get away with it, you need the attitude and accessories rather than the taran-coloured blood and weakness for deep-fried Mars bars. But you're right about Marc Jacobs. He doesn't know what he's doing there, does he?

    Despite Rodney's relationship with the actor - nothing was really good - except the one-night-stand with the ex - which really rocked my boat. Perhaps that was the problem -  Kenny actually was one of the most likeable characters of the new season - and, of course humpy homeless Sam, became a slightly less humpy vamp on True Blood.

    "Speechless: Silencing Christians"? For Frak's sake! What about wacko fundamentalist christians trying (and too many times, sadly, succeeding) to silence everybody else?

     

    Oh Vey! That movie looks dreadful.

     

    Alo Alberto Guzman, you make pink briefs look mighty fine.
