Jim Parson Archives - Big Gay Picture Show

Long before Jim Parsons became famous playing Sheldon in The Big Bangs Theory, he was dating Todd Spiewak. The couple have been together for 14 years. Now they’ve decided to take the next step, as they have tied the knot and gotten married.

The duo walked down the aisle at the Rainbow Room in New York City on Saturday evening, for a ceremony attended by friends and family.

Jim and Todd started dating back in 2002. After finding success with The Big Bang Theory, Parsons spent some time neither being in nor out. As he said in an interview last year, “I took Todd along to the first award shows, as my date, and what happened? Absolutely nothing. And afterwards, nobody ever asked me: ‘Are you gay?'”

It was only in 2012 that someone finally asked the question and Parson casually confirmed he was gay and in a long-term relationship. Now he’s a married man, and continues to be one of the higest paid actors on TV, with at least two more seasons of The Big Bang Theory to come.

Take a look at a few pics from the wedding below. (The Tom Ford tuxes they sported at the reception are particularly fab). [Read more…]

Taylor Kitsch shirtless

Ryan Murphy (Glee, The New Normal) is pulling quite a cast together for his film adaptation of Larry Kramer’s acclaimed play, The Normal Heart. He’s already got Julia Roberts, Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer signed up, and now Deadline reports they’ve been joined by Taylor Kitsch, who many will be pleased to hear is gonna be playing gay. Jim Parsons, who was attached a while ago but whose participation became uncertain when the shoot was delayed, is also back on-board.

The film is about the rise of AIDS in New York’s gay community in the early-to-mid 80s. The play first debuted off-Broadway in 1985, and has enjoyed several revivals in Los Angeles, New York and London. Ruffalo is taking on the lead role of Ned Weeks, one of the first people to raise an alarm about the new disease that initially was known as ‘Gay Cancer’.

Kitsch is set to be Bruce Niles, a closeted investment banker who becomes a prominent AIDS activist. Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons will be gay activist Tommy Boatwright, a role he previously took in a 2011 Broadway revival of the play.

Shooting will start later this year for a 2014 release. Let’s hope Kitsch playing gay is as good on screen as it is in my head.
