T.R. Knight in Parade (Pic: Craig Schwartz)
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.
- Congratulations and good luck to out actor T.R. Knight, who will debut this Sunday in the Los Angeles production of the play Parade.
- Distressed about finding the right gift for that special someone this upcoming holiday season? No need to be, for we have the perfect stocking stuffer ... the Great American Conservative Women Calendar! Yes, each month in 2010 you can gaze adoringly at such bright shining stars as Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Phyllis Schlaffly, the adorably loony Michelle Bachmann, and of course that great defender of "opposite marriage" Carrie Prejean. Act now and we'll send you the official AfterElton gold-plated dart set.
- PFOX (Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays) confuses me. First, they celebrated the fact that a D.C. judge said they should have protection under sexual orientatation laws (specifically hate crimes), now they're campaigning against hate crime legislation. Pick a side, people!
It takes a confident man to color-coordinate his shirt with his desktop
- AE reader David N has an interesting observation on his website about Melrose Place's alpha-gay Caleb (Victor Webster) and his ... peculiar office. Specifically, what the hell is up with the nauseatingly pink computer desktop? It doesn't really fit in with his description as an uber-macho he-man. Or does it? Maybe Caleb is so secure he doesn't care that his computer looks like it belongs to a 12 year-old girl. What do you think? Yay or nay?
- Yoplait has a series of bizarre promo spots on its website, advertising different flavors of yogurt. They're spoofs on typical soap opera scenes, with different acting groups interpreting the same scene. The Capital Fund Global Investment Group Players are an all male group, and portray the male ... and female characters. The result is ... bewildering. Sadly the group is the only one of the four to refrain from doing the kissing scene, but one of the upcoming segments is a wedding, so like it or not, they'll be giving us same-sex nuptials.
Scott Fujita/Brendon Ayanbadejo
- We're so used to seeing professional athletes make boneheaded homophobic statements that it's positively shocking to see the opposite. In the last two weeks, NFL players Brendon Ayanbadejo and Scott Fujita have both made heartfelt, wonderfully supportive endorsements of same-sex marriage.

Pink
has been the go-to color for the collegiate frat-rat for several years now, so i don't find it particularly feminine. at least when it's on a pop-collared polo. it serves as a sort of emotional camouflage for insensitivity, in my experience: "i'm so secure in my masculinity, there's no WAY i'm into dudes, dude."
plus, it might be the corporate color scheme for Victor's PR firm.
btw, i'm going to go purchase that conservawomen calendar so i can burn all those crazies in effigy in one go. is that wrong?
TR Knight
You broke a rule with theatre. You're suppose to say "Break a leg" not good luck when you're wishing someone well in a theatre show. You just crused TR Knight now. :)
snicks is cruising T.R. Knight? Lucky!
Haha
Yeah didn't catch that typo, but I would cruise TR outside the stage door if I could.
It's only bad if you say it
It looks like
the briefs guy can't remember if he's pulling his Calvin Kleins up or down...
Glad to see the football players supporting marriage equality - I can't help wonderiing if that "Single Ladies" dance scene on the field from Glee helped sway them in the right direction.
Yoplait & pink
I find the Yoplait scenes strangely compelling (hence the tippage).
Re: the pink screen - pink = relaxation in color therapy, so (assuming neither character had an uncharacteristic personal interest in color therapy) I imagine it is plausible that a PR firm might appreciate having pink computer themes to de-stress all their busy hardball-playin' cigar-chompin' man-chasin' employees.
Caleb's snark game is weak.
I don't know what a pink desktop says about the character, but that screen cap is taken from the middle of line where Caleb is supposed to be busting Ella's chops and the so-called dig went over like a lead balloon.
Maybe someone should pass a note to the writers to let them know that "witty" and "butch" are not mutually exclusive character traits.
That "India Pink" (as my
