News, Reviews & Commentary on Gay and Bisexual Men in Entertainment and the Media

Interviews and Pics from the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco

It seems three-ways were, along with gay weddings, another recurring theme of the night. I asked Rex Lee if rumors we'd heard that there would be a threesome between Vince, a woman, and a male studio executive in the upcoming season of Entourage were true. "I haven't heard that yet," he said, very slightly evasively. "I've read the first six scripts, and I don't remember that."

What's coming up for Lloyd next season? "I love that at least once or twice a season they give me something meaty to sink my teeth into," he said. "I used to work as an assistant in my real life, and it's amazing to me, even though I don't really communicate directly with the writers, the progression of Lloyd sort of mirrors my own life. It's eerie."

He said he followed AfterElton.com and was really happy with the things being said about him here, and thanked our readers for being his fans. Then he laughed and expressed amazement that he actually has fans. "I live with myself every day," he said. "I'm just little old Rex. The idea, the concept, that there are actually fans out there is a little strange. But it makes me feel good."

There was lots of buzz all night about the Kevin and Scotty wedding,which aired on ABC's Brothers & Sisters the next night. I asked GLAAD president Neil Giuliano (shown here with Dirty Sexy Money star Candis Cayne) and GLAAD SF director Juan Barajas what impact they thought gay weddings on television had on our fight for marriage equality in the real world.

"The visibility of the marriage issue in the media, especially on prime time television, is extremely important," said Giuliano. "We have to remember that in between the two coasts of the country, the concept is still a relatively new one, so that visibility is very important. It's educating Americans with regard to our lives, and telling our stories. It's making us seem like everyone else, which is what our message has always been.We're like everyone else. We have the same aspirations, the same kinds of goals, the desire for stability and a loving family life."

Barajas was equally positive. "We're in the business of changing the culture through changing hearts and minds," he said. "So by seeing these representations of couples making commitments to one another can only make it more common, more part of our shared humanity, that two people who love each other want to make a public statement about it, and have recognition from their family and from the general community.

"I believe that most Americans are very fair-minded and really believe we should all have the same equal chance, and shouldn't be denied that because of who we love or who we are. And I think that will even go further, because of what we're seeing on our televisions."

And last but not least, Academy Award-winning filmmakers Jeff Friedman and Rob Epstein ... and Jason Lewis!
