AfterElton Briefs: Barrowman's Yard Sale Not a Moving Sale, Nelsan Ellis Prefers Slutty Lafayette, and Why Air New Zealand, Why?

Plus buy the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck's music, vote for Broadway's hottest guys, and somebody stop Gwen at the border!

Toronto International Film Festival poster for Kaboom

• Above you can see the sexy poster for Gregg Araki's Kaboom starring Thomas Dekker. For a movie that touted the bisexuality of Dekker's character, I can't help but notice the same sex pairs on the poster are female.

• Depending on where you live, this is terrible news: John Barrowman will continue to call Wales home, but Eve Myles will be moving the family to the United States as part of the new Torchwood series. Fans became concerned Barrowman might be pulling up roots for America after his big garage sale this past weekend.

• Scans of SFX with an interview with the always charming Russell T. Davies have grandiose claims that Torchwood's beyond a fantasy show - the fantasy invades the real world. Because we all know Weevils live in the sewers, right? But one interesting tidbit he mentioned is that the Rift that the old Torchwood  hub sat on was closed when The Doctor closed all the cracks in the universe in the last series of Doctor Who. So the worlds are still connected, I guess.

• Marine Corps. Commandant General James Conway says that if Don't Ask, Don't Tell is repealed, religious Marines should be allowed to opt out of living with openly gay soldiers. Can Marines now opt out of living with Marines of a different race or religion, based on their religious beliefs? Because the Air Force didn't allow us to be stuck up wimps like that.

Happy 53rd birthday to Stephen Fry, celebrating in New Orleans today. Hopefully he can find something to get into there.

• George Michael was in court today for his latest arrest and pled guilty to driving while stoned. The judge has warned him he may face jail time when sentenced, but I'm sure George has "Faith."

• Time has put up A Brief History of Intolerance in America dating back 1654 as a commentary on the Islamic Community Center in New York City. It covers the persecution of a wide variety of minorities in this country, from Catholics, Jewish people, the Chinese, African-Americans, Native Americans and so forth. Left curiously out of the photo essay was any mention of GLBT persecution in America.

• Nelsan Ellis says he never wanted Lafayette's romance with Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) on True Blood, because he thinks Lafayette works better as a prostitute and a dealer.

• Former Go-Gos guitarist Jane Wiedlin has her theme music for New York City's Big Gay Ice Cream Truck up on iTunes.

• Air New Zealand is arguably the most gay-friendly airline on the planet, so I was more than a little taken aback with the decision in this rugby-themed safety video where the All Blacks player smiles and air kisses for a photo a female flight attendant only to then make a disgusted face and flee when the male flight attendant makes the same request.

• Last night Jane Lynch all but confirmed Chord Overstreet as Kurt's eventual boyfriend on Glee, saying "They've cast him already. He becomes the new star quarterback and he's going to be Kurt's boyfriend." But what to make of how Jane chose to describe the actor, saying she didn't know his name, but "He's tall, boyish with straight blond hair and big fat, pouty lips."

• USAToday wrote a piece called Hollywood Now Opening Arms To Gay Characters, Families, and managed quotes from GLAAD, Howard Bragman, several blogs, and even referenced us. They have a few issues, such as letting the American Family Association get in a quote that makes it sound like a traditional heterosexual nuclear family gets murdered every time a GLBT character is on television. They also didn't use the GLAAD Media Reference Guide and repeatedly said "transgendered." The quotes from GLAAD, calling our stories "edgy" conflict with the quotes from Dustin Lance Black saying "how regular our families are." But if you read the article, stay out of the comments, because it has gotten progressively uglier all day.

• Voting is open for Broadway's Hottest Guy/Broadways Hottest Girl. On the Guy side, lots of local favorites like John Stamos, Nick Adams, Cheyenne Jackson, Gavin Creel, plus my recent fascination Eddie Remayne. The new 90210 gay love interest Kyle Riabko is also an enticing choice.

• I'm not endorsing Going the Distance with Justin Long and Drew Barrymore. It takes a lot to make me interested in yet another romcom. But this new trailer has so much Charlie Day (Always Sunny In Philadelphia), I have to wonder - is Charlie's character Dan gay? He reads that way to me in the trailer, but maybe it's just me. Like the American Family Association, I see gay people everywhere. 

• Last Tuesday's Briefs Guy was the teaser from the new 'zine Meat, which is now available in very limited quantities. And that guy has at least one friend.

• Grease, the video game is out for the Nintendo DS and Wii, in case you need to get your inner Olivia on.

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