The Sun Is Shining For The First Time In Forever; We're Gay! Fagz Club Spring 2010

which

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/11/glee-co-creator-seeks-boycott-of-newsweek-after-article-criticizes-gay-actors/?src=mv

the actual article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/236999

the main prob with that article he doesn't even attempt to name an example of a gay actor who played straight well -- i'm perfectly willing to believe that sean hayes & glee dude suck at their roles -- also the wording - "is he compensating for being gay?" - was prob unfortunate

lol yeah

The headline blurb that gay actors playing straight "never" works is insane, but I am unsurprised that the guy wasn't convinced by Sean Hayes playing a Jack Lemmon/Jerry Orbach role. This is mostly a "media personality" issue, not an acting issue. (I know of that Jonathan Groff cutie but have never seen him in anything, and had no idea he was "openly gay" cuz I don't read many interviews/PR.)

But I will continue to not read Newsweek.

yeah jonathan groff could get it

The article is shockingly stupid. That's pretty much all there is to say.

Nathan Lane can still play straight parts bcz a very small % of the sudience says "He could get it."

that article is pretty offensively bad

anyway, hi gayz! i graduated today. my grad ceremony concluded with a full-band cover of "let the beat build"

and was opened with a dance piece scored to a steve reich composition, in which nearly all the male dancers were fiiiiine

I think "gay" here is more media personality, as someone mentioned above. Rock Hudson was a hardcore homo and he played the man every man wanted to be but couldn't because their parents sent them away to a special sports camp that really did more harm than good, honestly.

Male dancers? Where did you graduate from again?

god i love rock hudson. my aunt interviewed him

congratulations donna!!

wow dr! they only gave me Daniel P Moynihan.

ok so now i'm talking to this guy i went to school with who MH msg'd me

turns out his boyfriend has been talking to my boyfriend on MH, who told me this b4 anyway but it's just funny

this will be the downfall of your generation

Nah, open relationships are trailblazers.

OK, didn't realize Newsweek article was written by the same self-loathing headcase who argued last year that femme gays shouldn't be on TV, just the butch ones.

There are butch gays on TV???

I didn't mean open relationships, I meant IMing with ppl who otherwise would be gone from one's life.

De Rossi and Harris do that on TV, but they also inhabit broad caricatures, not realistic characters likes the ones in Up in the Air

That the guy has bad taste in movies is pretty self-evident.

Hi. My name is Hywel Bennett. I am a Welsh actor. In the late 1960s/early 1970s, I starred in such films as The Family Way, Twisted Nerve, The Virgin Soldiers , and the penis transplant comedy Percy.

And shaving with the boys.

Today I look exactly like Oliver Reed.

Looks like a cornflake-fed Alain Delon.

I saw The Family Way.

for which Paul McCartney wrote the score!

Oh, and happy birthday to Jesse, tho I'm not sure how often he checks these threads these days.

So listen, there is my friend Austin, and he thinks I am hot'n'stuff and wants to Do Things and he is way awesome and super-adorable but is simply not "my type", but I drank a 4Loko and we made out (like 4Times) and I am like uh ohhhhh what do I do now

also I am still wasted.

also also where are we all meeting tomorrow?

you're in charge! I don't know who else is free. Are you sure you're in "condition"?

(Don't forget you can't text me)

Morbs I am ALWAYS in "condition".

what do you folks know about LA? the first few days of our california trip will be spent there, but tbh the very idea of LA makes me a bit nervous. d & I will be staying with his friend from college, who I expect will help direct us to sites of interest, but any additional info would help.

I've always wanted to go to this place called Splash, have you guys heard of it?

The first gay bar I ever hit was called Splash. Now it's a straight strip club.

the first gay bar I went to was called pulse, but has since been renamed splash.

I haven't been in Splash for eons, hated it. :) The kinda place with go-go boys in onstage 'showers' and Liza likely to pop in at 1 a.m. OTOH, it's near the new gay SPORTS BAR! There's always Brooklyn, or The Eagle? Do you want to meet at Pieces, then improvise?

I guess donna rouge is recovering from some post grad bacchanal, or already looking for work?

Oh I was just kidding about Splash, I feel like it's the go-to spot for hateful, prissy queens and way overpriced drinks, two thinks I dislike very, very much. I've always wanted to go to Nowhere but does that have tables like Julius or Pieces do? Does the Eagle?

Nowhere has a few small tables, I recall. And some sort of couch in the back.

I forgot that the Eagle doesn't open til 10, and it's dress code night.

I am wearing jeans and could perhaps take my shirt off. This might be worth it for the lol.

will remember to wear leather cologne if I ever go there

tbh, I'm not sure you could drag me into a bar called the "Eagle" on leather night, even if you had me on a leash (a studded, leather leash). at the very least, I think my skin would divulge itself of my skeleton and run the other direction

I'll wear fetish aftershave.

hey elmo, when are you here again?

also, hey gayz, i received official confirmation today that a story of mine is going to be featured in the Best New Gay Erotica 2011!!!

Whoa that is awesome!! What is it about?

"code" lol

table, should get in town on the 22nd, fly out the 27th.

the travel preparation manic episode is setting in. checklists have been made.

p.s. congrats on being erotically anthologized!

the story is about internet pornography communities and intimacy in the age of technology...but it has a lot of dick and masturbation in it too. there's one video that it focuses on, namely this one: http://video2.xtube.com/watch.php?v_user_id=r0bb1e&idx=8&v=YiB80_C823_&cl=csrwB_C823_&from=&ver=3&ccaa=1&qid=&qidx=&qnum=&preview_flag= .

uh, yeah.

obviously NSFW.

but anyway, elmo, that's awesome, i'll definitely be around up here. message me on fb and we can exchange info and meet up!

hey, look where i'm going this weekend for a queer/punk land party:
