"We should have a gay-off!"

Gay extravaganza!
Part 1, otherwise this is going to end up a monster of a post.


I was on IMDB hoping to maybe find some info about a new project Sean could be working on, and I ended up reading a thread of discussion on his IMBD page revolving around the quintessential question : Is he gay?!1!! I read through all of it, and I've made remarks here and there on this journal on Sean's sexuality, but I've never really addressed the question. So.

( Is Sean Maher gay and do we really care? )

Wow, that was much longer than I expected it to be, and I'm pretty sure I lost Sean Maher in there somewhere. So let's switch the focus back to him for a second : this is like the 3rd time I hear about Sean bringing a boyfriend to a convention (Serenity Squared, for what I could gather, but it could be another event). WTF is up with that and can anyone confirm it? Did Sean ever show up anywhere with another guy? Or did just bring his brother or someone, and our brains are too perverted with Wincest?

It's not so much in the hopes to put a final end to the aforementioned question (bisexuality is very much a possibility) but because of the weight carried with a man showing up with a boyfriend at a public event even though he's not publicly out. Sean showing up with a boyfriend just like he would have with a girlfriend would be such an encouraging event, especially since very little would have been said about it online. I mean encouraging is the sense that it would have been a non-event - it'd have been just as common as him showing up with a girl. The activist in me can't help being all "wheee". Oh, and of course I have no doubt they'd be absolutely adorable (and I'd like pictures), but that's another thing altogether.


Up next!

Why do we get more excited about the same-sex couples on TV?
Gender roles and (male) gay couples : is it really easier to be reduced to doing the dishes because you live with another man?


EDIT : Changed heterosexist into heterocentric because it seems to fit better, as heterosexism implies more of a bias and a predisposition towards heterosexuality, rather than simply an assumption of heterosexuality. The politics of sexual orientation are not exactly clear, though, I think the two words mean the same thing in French. But it's probably better to make the distinction.

"Choir of angels, it can only mean one thing... Barack Obama did something."

Oh, Jon Stewart, I love you.

This is Jon's reaction to Barack Obama announcing he was forming a exploratory committee (first step towards running for President). ...Jon also attempts to eat that pancake-sausage thing.

...and why am I going to be on the right side of the Atlantic for the Primaries instead of the actual Presidential race again?

To finish with Stewart, I highly recommend going on the Daily Show website, too, and watching the video entitled Taser War. It's so ridiculous the length to which people will go just so they appear as good journalists.


Unrelated, and not AT ALL in the same vein, moimoietmoi posted an entry with Torchwood fic recs - I've just gotten through all of them and each one of the fic she recommended is absolutely worth reading. So if you haven't already read all the fics mentioned there, go do so. I love the way good Torchwood fics leave me feeling. There's a quietness, a dull angst to them I find truly beautiful.


Back with the gayness soon, but I'm trying to be serious and actually read Pamela which unfortunately delays all other activities.
