Lena Dunham Won't Marry Until Everyone Can

Lena Dunham is the mastermind behind the HBO show Girls and has made quite a name for herself in the past couple years.  Being such an influential celebrity figure I love that her partner Jack Antonoff and her she are standing up for marriage equality in the USA:

The idea of having a celebration that can’t be fully shared among all the people in my life and all the people that we love just doesn’t really feel like a celebration at all. So until that’s something that everyone can join into with no sense of being left out on any level, politically, emotionally — it’s just not something that we’re gonna do

Queen Latifah to Play Queer Singer

Alright Queen Latifah, I somewhat respect you for keeping quiet about your sexuality but if you don't want people to question you, you probably should avoid the queer roles.  I feel like I'm being really tough on her but she's doing it to herself.  Her latest project in the works is to play queer blues singer Bessie Smith in an HBO biopic.  I'm sure she will be amazing in the role but better not get frustrated when people question who she loves.

Taylor Kitsch Plays Gay Character

Taylor Kitsch is well known for playing alongside Rihanna in the movie Battleship but I loved him in Friday Night Lights playing a high school football star named Tim Riggins.  His new  role is in Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of The Normal Heart which is a new HBO film.  It is based on a play, which recounts the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s. Kitsch plays a closeted investment banker and, later, a prominent AIDS activist. Sounds like it will be pretty good and hopefully there will be some shirtless scenes of this pretty boy.
