I watched “Shelter” this afternoon, starring Trevor Wright as Zach an artist who has sacrificed huge things to help his self absorbed sister look after her son. He finds himself in love with his best mate’s older brother who challenges him to go after what he really wants. It’s a beautifully told story and rings fairly true as a coming out tale.
Brad Rowe plays his love interest and does a good job although he seemed to be too hesitant in the love scenes. I cried a few times in the movie, first when Sean kisses Zach for the first time. It all just seemed so natural and right. As someone that constantly holds out hope for good gay cinema but is frequently disappointed, I was really happy with the way this movie was handled, even if they did use the same footage of Zach pushing his surfboard under a wave about 3 times!
Every week on his Sunday night show, Rove asks his celebrity guests who they would turn gay for at the end of their interviews. Most laugh, some nervously, and others quite eagerly join in the game and come up with someone. On Sunday night he had the boys from “The Chaser” a comedy show on and this video is the response to the usual question. It’s hilarious. All these boys are straight! Thanks to Emackinations for bringing it to my attention.
An Alderman in Amsterdam has announced plans to legalise gay-sex in a public park, essentially because it’s always going to happen regardless of legality.
“Amsterdam’s beautiful Vondelpark in the centre of city draws hordes of summer visitors, families, skaters and joggers. But the park’s rose garden has become famous as a trysting spot for gay men looking for uncomplicated sexual encounters.” Check out the full article here.
I tried posting this a few weeks ago but had technical problems with videos at the time. Those of you who’ve been reading the blog for some time might remember I did some travel writing and photography for a soon-to-be-launched gay travel website, QGuide.com. Well it’s up and running.
As part of its launch, QGuide.com is giving away twelve week-long (6 night) stays at Spartacvs Hotel, a Men’s-only exclusive Hotel on the tropical island of Bali, Indonesia. A week’s stay will be given away to two QGuide members every month between March and August 2008.
I found this video and thought not only was it a bit hot, it’s very sweet. It’s full of gay kisses through the years from Hollywood. That Westborough baptist bunch o’ freaks is going to be busy picketing some big names for everyone playing gay. In this video we’ve got Tom Selleck, Kevin Kline, Antonio Sabato Jr, Christopher Reeve, Jake & Heath, Brendan Fraser, Hugh Grant, and a stack of others.
