The Gay Thread

[innerSpaceman]

ok, well, a rose by any other name. Its comeback was advertised by Fox (around the corner from me) as they would a new series or new season, and everyone I know who watches the show is calling it that. So whatever.

I kinda shy away from gay "must-see" stuff. I hear the pandering gay wedding that opens Sex in the City 2 is a tone-deaf mess. The one scene I've seen from Glee (a dad over-the-top defending his gay son against a careless insult by a high school friend) was so After-School-Special that I'm not inspired to check out more - no matter how many stunt gay-icon music casting coups they score.

We just saw "Another Gay Movie"

Is that code for Sex and the City 2, or is there an actual film with that title?

Another Gay Movie - Caution: movie NSFW and NSFS (Not Safe For Straights)

That movie is cute and silly, and I'd imagine it to be a good movie if you were a) stoned or b) coming down off of something.

Wow, I didn't expect this AWESOME news to result from this tragic story:

President wa Mutharika clearly bowed to mounting pressure. His statement, according to the Daily Telegraph:

"These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws, however, as the head of state I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions. I have done this on humanitarian grounds but this does not mean that I support this."

Update

White House Presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs has just released a statement about today's pardon:

"The White House is pleased to learn of President Bingu wa Mutharika's pardon of Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza. These individuals were not criminals and their struggle is not unique. We must all recommit ourselves to ending the persecution and criminalization of sexual orientation and gender identity. We hope that President Mutharika's pardon marks the beginning of a new dialogue which reflects the country's history of tolerance and a new day for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights in Malawi and around the globe."
