Jagged Little Pill

Mike Wallace talks about the “enigma” of homosexuality. If you don’t know anything about the Mattachine Society history, educate yourself here.  Mattachine is more than a party on Thursday nights @ Julius, gentlemen. It was a political movement. The video is about 45 minutes. What’s the biggest takeaway here? For me, the most shocking moment comes when one “expert” blatantly declares that homosexuals are by definition incapable of finding happiness.  [Via Dave White @ The Advocate]

Does James Franco even need to be out?

…Nope. James Franco is a very pretty man. Sure, he’s not as pretty as Rob Pattinson or Zac Efron, but he’s got the movie star looks of iconic entertainers like Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and Johnny Depp. He’s charming, playful, and sexually ambiguous. Does he have the talent of more serious men like Daniel Day-Lewis, Javier Bardem, or Sean Penn? That’s the question we hope will be answered with his latest biopic “Howl” where he plays beat poet, activist, and gay icon, Allen Ginsburg— albeit, a cuter version.

If Franco’s choice to play another gay character on the heels of his role in “Milk” surprises you, it shouldn’t. Because although Franco is not officially out, he has made important and telling decisions about the character he portrays on screen.

From the archives | About this time last year I was exploring the nightlife in Rome, and when I arrived on Friday I headed over to Coming Out, a solid home base homo bar two blocks from the Coliseum, to check out the scene. I befriended a Spanish ballet dancer who passed along a flyer to the big, gay Gorgeous party at Alpheus the following evening. What I discovered was a huge dance club complex the likes of which New York hasn’t seen for years—room after room of different shows, DJs, and hot Roman men. Enjoy this Tuesday tickler… there’s more to come soon.
