GLEE rules ... (Hey, Soul Sister)

They sing the fcuk outta this cover of Hey, Soul Sister. Though the visual doesn't exactly match the awesomeness of the vocal. ["I'm so gansta, I'm so thug..."] -- No, Boo, you're not. But that's a good thing. ←Blaine (Darren Criss), is so adorable calling himself a gansta I'm a fan forever. Download the full version and blast it on your iPod, then tell me it doesn't put a bounce in your day. Play it back to back with the original by TRAIN (below), which is itself a masterpiece (and a much better visual). I could write a thesis on why GLEE is so necessary, and so cool. Suffice it to say, the feeling that this song gives me is the essence of this deservedly award winning show -- which never ceases to make me misty, laugh and smile in every single episode. It's why GLEE rules.

Best gay kiss by a black male. Check out the short film: One on One

This is completely adorable.... 'One On One' follows Alex and Trevor as they work out their relationship on and off the basketball court, after one of them asks the other one to join a waltz class together. Written and directed by Luis Fernando Midence http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1664007/ Official selection New York City International Film Festival, Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, San Diego Latino Film Festival, OUTRAgeous: Santa Barbara GLBT Film Festival & Lesbian Film Festival, TLAGay Short Film Contest, Red Wasp film Festival, and Out Takes Dallas. I like that they did not hide or try to fake the kiss at the end ... ...even making the juicy sounds which let us know they're doing it right -- with tongue. Same sex couples kiss like all lovers do. And its real. And its beautiful. And it should never be faked or hidden in a film. Kudos to sexy young talented actor/dancer... Timothy Paul Brown (resume) and his co-star Braulio Cruz-Ortiz ... for the sweetest kiss we've seen in a minute. We'll be keeping our eye out for Timothy. Young black male actors unafraid to tongue another man down on camera are rare indeed. But their numbers are happily growing. Yay to that! ~

"Pornography" star featured in SGL Weekly Mag

SGL Weekly features Matthew Montgomery. For those unfamiliar with this actor, he starred in the sexy and trippy hit Pornography: A Thriller, which was reviewed here. Here's a quick reminder: "Imagine being sucked unwittingly into a nightmarish vortex while masturbating. Sex and horror and porn-stars commingle in that ever-changing world where dreams are real, lusty boyish angels are strangled, and every moment, real and imagined, is filmed and archived for the next traveler into this psycho-sexual circular Wonderland, where Alice is oiled and buff and the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar is behind the camera. That’s the feeling you get from Pornography: A Thriller."
