Watercooler: Glee’s horizontal hula ban
CNN to air gay special TONIGHT . Gary Spino and
Tony Brown have fought for gay rights all of their lives, but their
biggest struggle now is forming at traditional family. The special
airs on Thurs., June 24 at 8 p.m. ET, and will follow the couple
through the up and downs forming a traditional family in an
unconventional way.
In
an up-close interview with CNN Tony point to the importance of family in his life,
“I am a husband with a husband and I work toward equality in my own
way. I define myself by my family.”
“In America: Gary and Tony Have a
Baby” is sure to pull at the heart strings.
Professional
sports and Pride parade in the same sentence? Yes. The Chicago Pride
parade will be chock full of pro sports appearances.
The Chicago Cubs entered a float into the parade to
promote a healthy neighborly relationship, thanks to new owner Tom
Ricketts. Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, is right next the gay
neighborhood of Boystown.
For you rough-and-tumble hockey fans,
Blackhawks defenseman, Brent Sopel (with wife and four kids), will be
carrying the Stanley Cup down the parade route. Sopel’s appearance is
in memory of Brendon Burke , an advocate for out athletes. He
hopes to encourage acceptance of gays and lesbians among professional
sports fans.
It is a big task to take on—but then again it is
a big, shiny trophy.
Megan Fox’s lesbian dream role. The
steamy Megan Fox of Transformers fame disclosed that her dream role is a
Native America lesbian. A fan of the comic book series “Gen 13,” Fox
confesses that Sarah Rainmaker would be her Hamlet. An Apache,
peace-loving, social activist, Rainmaker was revealed as a lesbian in
the second issue.
First the sultry kiss with Amanda Seyfried in “Jennifer’s Body” and now this, anyone else
hoping this isn’t just a gutsy trend in character choice?
Glee’s
ban on doing the horizontal hula. Fox Network’s breakout hit Glee
shows no mercy with its quips and comebacks, which is why I love it.
The show tackles taboo topics that network programs hide from.
Executive Producer Ryan Murphy has, however, set some boundaries;
fortunately they only apply off-stage.
The young stars are banned
from any sexual acts while in their trailers. Luckily, this does not
impact the ever present Brittany/Santana lesbian undercurrents . Phew!
