AfterElton Briefs: Yigit Speaks, Tom Goss's Beautiful "Lover" Video, Chris Colfer Sleep Shops, and More!

Happy 25th Birthday to fashion sprite Christian Siriano

• The A-List: New York reunion special will air on Logo (our parent company) Monday, December 6th, and will be hosted by Wendy Williams. There's going to be a lot of sass in that room.

• dot429.com has a self-penned article from former television journalist Tyler Helms about being HIV positive in the workplace.

• We previewed it last week, and below you can see "Lover," the powerful new music video from out singer/songwriter Tom Goss.

• While promoting her autobiography Unbearable Lightness, there are allegations that Portia de Rossi is refusing to be interviewed by male journalists.

• Some old school conservative bigwig took time out from shaking his fist at the clouds to voice "concern" about Sir Ian McKellen talking about homophobia in schools, saying he's unhappy with the "use of a certain leading actor as a potential role model for our impressionable young people."

• Below you can see the latest "We Give A Damn," which looks at GLBT homeless youth, and features Cyndi (I've decided that, like Kylie, her last name is unnecessary), Pete Wentz, and Alan Cumming among others.

• Patti Smith has won the National Book Award for nonfiction with Just Kids, her memoir of her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe.

• Matt Tratner, a teacher and guidance counselor at New York's John Bowne High School wore a shirt to work today that states "OUT and I'm not alone." The world did not end. In fact, the story has a happy ending, which is something we all need now.

On a strictly prurient note, let me state about Matt: "RAWWR!"

• A flight from San Francisco to New York was reportedly diverted briefly over Canada so the captain could marry a gay couple. A flight attendant made the announcement, which prompted applause from the passengers.

• Below you can see some of the cast, and a lot of the crew from Brothers & Sisters deliver their "It Gets Better" message. It's always strange hearing Matthew's real accent.

• Below you can see Top Chef: Just Desserts winner Yigit at the screening party for last night's finale. The video begins as he's announced the winner, so prepare for a lot of screaming.

• Below you can see a clip from today's Ellen with Chris Colfer explaining his rare affliction known as "sleep shopping." How else to explain the life-size portrait of Marie Antionette that was delivered to his door? Ellen also talks to him about bullying, and the impact Kurt has had on people.

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

This guy!
