'Prison Break' Fans Request Gay Scenes
This story is funny!
Fans of hit TV program Prison Break are desperate to see more of the show's stars - in a steamy gay clinch. Actor Robert Knepper who plays inmate T-Bag, insists Priso Break devotees are always writing in to request a gay romp, because they are so attracted to hunks like Wentworth Miller (Michael Schofield) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows).
He says, "(One fan wrote), 'I'm not a stalker or anything like that but I find you guys so sexy.
"I really think some of you should get together." (source)

Tinky Winky in Trouble Again
It sounds like Poland is bored this summer.....
A government-appointed childrens rights watchdog there, Ewa Sowinska, says she's asked psychologists to look into the character's sexuality: "I noticed (Tinky Winky) has a lady's purse, but I didn't realize he's a boy. At first I thought the purse would be a burden for this Teletubby ... Later I learned that this may have a homosexual undertone." (source)

Slumming it up!
In two weeks Gay Days is here in Orlando. We always have a good time and look forward to it every year. Last year my mother was a wonderful and got my friend and I a one bedroom villa at Disney's Saratoga Springs which is located across from Downtown Disney, which was great for stumbling home after a night of drinking at Pleasure Island. This year I have been spending a little to much money and need to tighten the purse strings and since all we really need is a bed to sleep in on disney property so we can partake in the free transporation I will be slumming it up for the first time at a value resort, but at least it will be Pop Century so that could be fun.

Jerry Falwell Dead at 73
Larry King, Larry Flynt(Hustler) and Jerry many years ago.
Larry is like WTF?
The Rev. Jerry Falwell, who founded the Moral Majority and built the religious right into a political force, died Tuesday shortly after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University, a school executive said. He was 73.
Jerry was a real winner with quotes like these:
“AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals”
“If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”
“I hope to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we don't have public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them.”

Fracture -Movie
Tonight my roommate and I went to dinner with some friends, it was half price happy hour at Chevy's a mexican chain. I had two strawberry margaritas and some appetizers, I was stuffed and buzzed!! After that we headed over to Downtown Disney and watched Fractured, this is my favorite kind of movie. I knew Sir Anthony Hopkins was in the film, I have always enjoyed his performances. But to my surprises there was this super cute guy name Ryan Gosling. Overall I thought the movie was great and recommend everyone go see it.

Young gay execs look to break "pink ceiling"
By Ben Klayman and Kim DixonMon May 7, 3:07 PM ET (Reuters)
Corporate boardrooms are slowly becoming a somewhat friendlier place for gay executives, but as John Browne's sudden exit from the top job at oil major BP Plc showed when his sexuality became public fodder, there are still challenges to overcome.
Browne stepped down last week when a UK court lifted an injunction preventing a newspaper group from publishing details about his private life. He was scheduled to retire in July, but stepped aside to "avoid unnecessary embarrassment and distraction to the company," adding he had always regarded his sexuality as a private matter.
"There still is a pink ceiling for openly gay executives," said Malcolm Lazin, executive director of Equality Forum, a group that promotes civil rights for gays.
"We are clearly going through a transitional moment, as the black civil rights movement and women's civil right movement went through," he added.
Browne felt the need to keep his sexuality private despite his high profile position, something that likely led to his problems.
"By not being out and being open, you do create a certain amount of questioning around you. Often times it creates a bit of mystery around an individual," said Eric Bloem, an official with the Human Rights Campaign, another gay civil rights group.
And Browne is not alone, according to Kirk Snyder, a lecturer at the University of Southern California's business school.
"Talking with executives and people in the position to become CEO, I have found that there are at least five closeted CEOs in the Fortune 500," said Snyder, author of the book, "The G Quotient: Why Gay Executives Are Excelling As Leaders." He declined to name the executives.
"It's a personal issue," he added. "There are a lot of psychological elements and economical elements."
While there are no known gay CEOs among large companies, many corporate observers said the next generation of gay executives are not willing to hide that part of their lives.
OUT IN THE OPEN
"What you are seeing, is the next generation is unwilling to live in the closet," Lazin said. "Those capable young executives will choose only to go to these places where they believe meritocracy prevails."
Throw in nondiscrimination policies and same-sex health care benefits by a growing number of U.S. companies, and the environment is changing.
The U.S. House recently introduced legislation making it illegal to fire someone because of their sexual orientation, something that is legal in 33 states.
On Friday, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson apologized for saying at the Republican presidential debate that private employers should be allowed to fire gay employees because of their sexual preference. He later told a morning television show he misinterpreted the question and discrimination was not acceptable.
The American Family Association, which opposes companies giving gays equal employment protection and benefits, cares more where corporate money is spent.
"Our thing is not with the internal hiring practices with corporations," AFA President Donald Wildmon said. "We would have no way of knowing nor would we really care how many gays or homosexuals this company hired. What we care about is using (company) profits to further the political and social agenda of the movement."
However, companies realize that to attract the best talent, they must provide a welcome atmosphere, executive recruiters said.
"I am not seeing any kind of a shakedown at the top saying, 'We want only straight males or females running our company.' It is unheard of," said Seth Harris, executive vice president with Chicago-based Cook Associates. "It's about the success based on past merits and the ability to get the job done."
Nevertheless, Lazin wonders whether Browne would have resigned if he had had a liaison with a woman.
"I do think there is still a double standard there," he said. "It reflects an inequality and a moment in time when society is becoming comfortable around same-sex relationships but is not quite there yet."
