JANE LYNCH DON'T STOP!




seriously, this woman is fucking amazing, firstly I would like to say that she is one of the best actors around today, secondly, she seems to be one of the most courageous woman in hollywood.
I can't seem to remember what I first saw her in, as she seems to have been in everything, from a small part in this tv show to another small part in that film, to a scene stealing guest role in another show, she just doesn't stop, and nor should she. I would die if she ever took a break. 
Currently she is acting as coach Sue Silvester on fox's GLEE, which is amazing and very LGBT invclusive, her character, while straight, does blur the lines, with her masculine approach to teaching and discipline. In real life, Jane is now engaged to her beautiful girlfriend and with the current hype of Glee, we really look forward to seeing this lesbian wedding everywhere when the time comes and for Jane to be out proud and happy on the cover of every magazine in town! 
She knows how to bring it to the peoples, and she will. There is no stopping this one! Thankfully!!!

UGLY BETTY PRETTY MARK SAD FAREWELL

Just because UGLY BETTY is finished, doesn't mean we will be seeing less of this talented fellow who we all grew to love and adore and secretly fantasize about being our lavishly sexy and sweet boyfriend on the most inclusive LGBT TV show in years!
Not only did his character amuse us to the point of almost lizzing, but he also reflected alot of the known bias and prejudice in the life of a single gay man. He was not only the giver and main player of these stereotype prejudices, but also the receiver of some, and that really gave his character so much more strength and depth. When he fell in love with and took on a fatty un groomed gay man as his boyfriend I was simply overjoyed! Then when he cheated on him with a much hotter stud, I was also overjoyed, as this is what happens, not just to the fatties out there, but to all of us, and it was great to see this represented.
What was also wonderful to see on the silver screen, is it silver, or just small, or wide and big, depending on your TV set I guess, was how he became a mentor to the young confused Justin, Bettys nephew who came out towards the end of the season and ended up with the cutest little boyfriend. It really was sooo sweet and to put such forward storylines in primetime, it was like reliving the golden girls, who most people forget, was also a very, ahead of its time, LGBT inclusive program.
Now that is a pair I would LOVE to see in a TV show, Michael Urie and Betty White, wait, they have been together already, when Betty White guest starred on Ugly Betty. But if they were to have their own show, it would be a runaway hit!!!!
GOOD BYE MARK ST JAMES! 

Hallo MICHAEL URIE!!!!!

Jesse Tyler Ferguson – HOT QUEER NERDY LOVE

If you can call it all that? were not sure, but he does have a very nice appeal, and we do believe he has scored a great role on this show 'modern family'. it took us a while to get into it, mainly because the name of the show is just so unappealing, and possible because of Julie Bowen. But once we sat down, it was a favourite after the first 5 minutes. Really well made television and good to see his character is just a normal kind of fucked up family queer. He is gay, practically married and living in the suburbs but still keeps his family around him, despite their problems. I like that. Plus this Jesse Tyler guy seems to be quiet dark, not in the show, but behind the smiles and happy faces I see in google, I look forward to a very dark character emerging from this guy, I know its in there, and its gonna be spectacular! Fingers crossed its a dark disturbed queer too.

scared of playing gay?

I was involved in a casting last year for a short film called 'Torten im Sand/ Cakes and Sand' and we had to cast my lover, and there were a number of great gay actors available, yet, the majority were scared. SCARED.? They didn't want to be typcast as a 'gay actor'. This I find a really strange concern.
Some could not do it as their agents didn't want them staring in a Queer Short Film, nothing against the queers of course, it just wasn't the right role for their talent and this road was not one they wanted their people to go down.
Strange right? I here this happens alot. I feel this stinks. I would like to change it.
First I would like to introduce the lovely Gay man who did take the part, who was not afraid to play a gay character in a short film. Jan Andreeson, an up coming German Actor who was really, simply inspiring to work with!

Peter Paige

How lovely were the days when you could turn on the Telly and see the ever so fashionable Emmett living the ever so fashionable life in the gaybourhood of the gay heaqrt warming drama Queer As Folk?

I would always be so envious of his courage and his self confidence (not to mention his body), his character was not only strong and feminine, but was also sexy and thoughtful, you didn't want to punch this guy, you wanted to dance with him, bake with him and then maybe have really out there sex with him!

I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been to play such a character. Peter Paige is a very talented actor, but also very versatile, his talents perceed him and his process will be a legacy. When you go through his filmography, he has worked on so many different projects and played many different characters. I would love to see him again, on the Telly, warming our little hearts with more tales of his lovely gay life, because, he is lovely, and I want to see more.
