Michelangelo SignorileAfterElton's Michael Jensen appearing on today's Michelangelo Signorile show to discuss Heath Ledger
One half of Two Gay Guys, noted editor and all-around Mister Special Around Here Michael Jensen will be gracing the airwaves of Michelangelo Signorile's radio show today at 3:30 PM EST. For you subscribers, OutQ is channel 109.
I also see that Sirius is offering a 3-day free trial subscription to their Internet radio ... not sure if OutQ is included in this (don't see why it shouldn't be), but it might be worth signing up to hear what these two fellas have to say. I mean, come on ... just look at Michelangelo and tell me you wouldn't want him purring in your ear every afternoon during your caffeine lull. For more on Signorile and the gay men of OutQ, check out our profile from last year.

Here at AfterElton.com we don't just sit around writing bitter missives about the sorry state of gay visibility in entertainment. Sometimes we talk about it, too! Case in point: AfterElton.com's resident "Man Behind the Curtain", Michael Jensen, will be appearing on Michelangelo Signorile's Sirius OutQ radio show today to discuss the year in gay television. Michael will be on at around 12:30PM PST on Sirius 109. The theme of today's shows is "Angels and Gassies". I hope for Michael's sake that he's not lumped in with the latter, and would guess that he's likely lucky to be participating from the well-ventilated comfort of his own home, from the sounds of it. In further exciting interview news, Michael will be interviewing Project Runway fan-fave Jack Mackenroth today at 3:00PM PST and has graciously decided to take a nap rather than prepare open up the Q&A to viewer-submitted queries. Have a question for Jack? Leave it in the comments of this post and we may put it to him! If you haven't seen this week's gripping episode to hear why it is we're so eager to talk with him (or why there's been a petition launched in his honor), you can catch up by reading our recap.

And Jude Law isn't looking too bad either.

GCN's Andy Humm reports that as far back as 2000 another journalist--Philip Nobile--tried to get GLAAD to act on Imus' homophobia (Nobile organized an Imus Watch web page on TomPaine.com), but that despite promising to monitor Imus, GLAAD did nothing. Nobile speculates it was because GLAAD didn't wish to offend The New York Times columnist and frequent Imus guest Frank Rich, to whom GLAAD had just given an award. (Rich addresses the issue in his Sunday New York Times column.) GCN also reports how GLAAD initially took no public stance in regards to Imus' latest controversy. The paper states that on April 11th, Marc McCarthy, GLAAD's senior director of communications said, "This is not an issue in GLAAD's mission." However, GLAAD's website states their mission as being "...dedicated to promoting and ensuring fair, accurate and inclusive representation of people and events in the media as a means of eliminating homophobia and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation." Hmm, sure sounds like their mission to me. When GLAAD finally did issue a statement about Imus, they made no mention of his numerous homophobic slurs, nor did they call for his firing unlike other gay groups.
