I love this idea and am very

interested in knowing who folks would like to hear from. I can tell you some folks have declined doing interviews and you probably won't see us doing any lesbian interviews (check out AfterEllen.com for that). But we have interviewed Rupert Everett and Benjamin Hart is in the works. Let me know if you have any specific questions for him!

Question for Benjamin Hart

Keep in mind that this question is coming from someone from the US so I've had limited exposure to Benjamin...maybe I'm totally off base. Benajmin appears to be one of those actors that never actually "came out" but rather "lived out". There was never a real declaration on his part, just a mere mention of his sexuality in ATTITUDE. Instead he just lived his life with no secrets. So I'm curious about his experience as an out gay actor. Has he ever felt that he was denied a role or an opportunity at a role because he is out? Has he ever tried to get hired at a studio here in the states? What's his opinion of being out and working in the entertainment industry? Does he encounter a lot of closeted actors and what advice does he give them?

Ellen and Bart Yates

from the GLBT list you provided, Madonna from the straight list.  Actually Gore Vidal, Larry Kramer and Edmund White would also be interesting to interview from the GLBT community.

David Bromstad would be nice

He was mentioned a lot in "Design star" recaps and Christie did a piece on him...but I'd love to know where he is going with his TV career. What are some poz and negs of having his own show. If the shows gonna continue...etc...

Current info on him.  I think he's brilliant.
