LGBT stars come out for GLASS fundraiser

GLASS (Gay Adolescent Social Services) is a Los Angeles based non-profit organization that delivers social and health care services to self-identified Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender (GLBT) and HIV/AIDS impacted youth.

This past Sunday in LA, 450 people attended the GLASS "Home for the Holidays" brunch. Among the guests were a veritable who's who of out gay and lesbian celebrities. Wilson Cruz, T.R. Knight, Alec Mapa, Rex Lee, Robert Gant, Peter Paige and a host of others all showed up to lend support to GLASS and help raise funds for the 19 foster group homes that GLASS runs for at-risk LGBT youth.

To Make a Long Story Short ... Paige hits the stage, Thompson strikes out, and more!

  • Queer as Folk's Peter Paige will be treading the Los Angeles boards in The History Boys.
  • TMZ manages to work not one, but TWO oral sex jokes into a blurb about gay comic Scott Thompson reportedly bombing at the Softball Gay World Series. Get it? Gay men? Oral sex? Related: TMZ is the devil.
  • This NY Times piece on the challenges faced by gay seniors (the elderly, not teens finishing high school) is incredibly upsetting and at the same time inspiring for making the top spot in the US section.
  • A new TV spot for marriage equality put the shoe on the other foot, asking what it would be like if straights were stopped from marrying. (I'd bet Cuisinart would go out of business, for starters.)

Queerview television guide for June 7

Regis and Kelly (Syndicated) Check local listings
Neil Patrick Harris takes a turn as guest host on today's show. Considering how the two hosts usually spend the a part of the show discussing their domestic lives, this could be very interesting -- although NPH didn't make mention of his romantic life in his guest-hosting gigs while Regis was off having surgery. Wouldn't it be cute to see Kelly and NPH comparing their spouses' quirks? Meanwhile, Broadway Week continues with the cast of Grey Gardens performing today.

The View (ABC) 11:00 AM EDT
Gay comedian Mario Cantone stops by to talk about his turn as the voice of a surfing penguin in Surf's Up. Loraine Bracco takes a turn as guest host.

Say Uncle (Showtime) 8:00 OM EDT
Queer as Folk's Peter Paige directed and stars in this dark comedy, which makes its cable premiere tonight, about a gay artist who seeks the company of children after his godson moves away. Eventually, one mother begins to worry that his intentions in spending so much time with children might not be so honorable. The fabulous Kathy Najimy plays the mother who starts the hysteria. Check out the trailer after the break.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central) 11:00 PM EDT
Cross-dressing comedian, Eddie Izzard stops for a chat. Izzard has an upcoming movie role in Ocean's Thirteen but I'm hoping we'll also get to hear talk about Izzard's riveting TV series The Riches, which finished its season this past Monday.
