Boys On Film: Director Benjamin Parent Talks It’s Not A Cowboy Movie

By Leave a Comment

THIS-IS-NOT-A-COWBOY-MOVIEBoys On Film 9: Youth In Trouble is out today, and over the last week we’ve been catching up with some of the actors and directors whose LGBT themed short film are included in the collection, such as Prora’s Tom Gramenz and The Wilding’s Grant Scicluna.

Today we have Benjamin Parent, the French director of It’s Not A Cowboy Movie, a short about straight teenagers and their reaction to watching Brokeback Mountain. It’s a smart film, looking at ideas of masculinity and how actually being faced with homosexuality can change a young person’s ideas about it, especially if they’ve only previously thought about it as an abstract idea.

Here’s what he had to say: [Read more…]

Chris Evans In Bed For W Magazine

By Leave a Comment

chris-evans-in-bed
Haven’t you always wanted to get Chris In Evans in bed? Well, I hate to break it to you, but it’s probably not going to happen (you might have better luck with his brother Scott, who’s gay, but even then don’t hold your breath). So the pic above is about the closest you’re probably ever going to get.

It accompanies an article about the actor in W Magazine, where he talks about his upcoming movie The Iceman.

However it’s the pic that got us really excited, so we thought we’d share it with you. No he just needs to do one on a bed with fewer clothes.

Boys On Film: Grant Scicluna Talks About His Award-Winning LGBT Short The Wilding

By Leave a Comment

grant-scicluna-slide
Grant Scicluna’s short film, The Wilding, has been making a splash at film festivals around the world, including winning the Iris Prize, the world’s biggest LGBT short film award, which provides funding and support for filmmakers to make another movie. BGPS’ Adrian Naik adored The Wilding when he caught it at Iris in Cardiff, giving it a rare 10 out of 10 score!

However not everyone is able to get to film festivals to see great LGBT shorts like The Wilding, which is where the Boys On Film DVD series comes in. The latest release, Boys Of Film 9: Youth In Trouble, is released in the UK on April 29th. The disc features eight shorts, including The Wilding, allowing a wider audience to see its tale of love in the violent and difficult world of an Australian Youth Detention Centre.

We caught up with Grant to talk about The Wilding, how it felt to win the Iris Prize and the importance of gay film festivals. [Read more…]

We chatted with Tom about the short. [Read more…]

‘Gay Filmmakers and Boy Scouts’ Vid Challenges Gay Scouts Ban

By Leave a Comment


There’s been a fair bit of controversy in the US over the Boy Scouts over their refusal to allow gay scouts. While in the last few days there’s been movement suggesting they’ll accept underage Scouts whatever their sexual orientation, they still intend to bar adults Eagle Scouts and Scoutmasters who are ‘open and avowed homosexuals’.

Now filmmaker and Eagle Scout Tobb Bieber has decided to challenge that by inviting several gay filmmakers to help teach some Boy Scouts about making movies, while he was serving as counselor for the Cinematography Merit Badge.

The likes of Chris Kelly (Saturday Night Live), Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story, True Blood), Will Graham (Onion News Network), Matthew Kirsch (Late Show with David Letterman), Elizabeth Koe (Onion News Network), and Michael Hartney (Upright Citizens Brigade) helped out, with Bieber making a film about the experience, which the Scouts absolutely loved.

You can take a look at Bieber’s vid about the experience above, as well as the short film the Scouts made below.

Darren Criss Turns ‘Call Me Maybe’ Into A Gay Rights Anthem

By Leave a Comment


Darren Criss took to the stage at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles over the weekend to sing a different version of Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Call Me Maybe’, which was turned into a call for the end of DOMA (the Defence Of Marriage Act) and Prop. 8.

While Criss claims these are the original lyrics, I think it’s safe to say he’s pulling our leg the Jepsen didn’t originally intend to sing “Hey Supreme Court, we say no hate, so good-bye DOMA, and so long Prop 8.”

Take a look above. [Read more…]

Andrew Christian Boys Go Overboard (In Their Undies, Of Course)

By 1 Comment

andrew-christian-overboard
We haven’t posted any Andrew Christian videos for a while, which is quite remiss of us, so we’re making up for that with two new vids where the luscious boys go Overboard, showing off their asses and bulges as if it was going out of fashion.

As always it’s sexy, fun and absolutely gratuitous. Indeed porn producers could take a few notes from AC in how to turn people on and not be quite so mechanical.

We’ve also included another vid at the bottom of the post, where Andrew Christian goes to a party, so feel free to take a look, and don’t blame me if it makes you feel horny. [Read more…]

Community’s Joel McHale Doesn’t Mind If You Say He’s Gay

By Leave a Comment

Joel-Mchale-shirtlessJoel McHale has gained a lot of gay fans around the globe thanks to Community, and as with pretty much every good-looking male celeb who looks after their body (and boy does he look after his body), he’s had rumours about his sexuality floating around for years. Now he’s been talking to The Advocate about it, and has revealed he really doesn’t care.

”I always find it really weird when guys flip out over someone thinking they might be gay,” he says. “If a guy gets offended by that, there’s something wrong with him. I take it as a compliment.”

He adds, “As long as the comments about my body are positive, I don’t mind.”

McHale’s very happy about all the support his comedy show has had from gay fans, saying “Community needs all the help it can get, so thank God for our gay fans. Our young gay fans especially are the loudest and most Internet-savvy. That also speaks to the quality of our show, which I think is highly intelligent.”

As well as Community, McHale presented the TV series The Soup, and has popped up in movies such as Spider-man 2, Ted, and What’s Your Number?.

The actor also tells a story about a situation where he ended up in a gay bar as a young man, waiting for a friend, when he realised that the men around him were starting to come onto him. So what’s his advice for a straight man to deal with this situation? “Just a very quick, courteous blowjob.”

Henry Cavill Looks Hot In A New Man Of Steel Image

By Leave a Comment

man-of-steel-henry-steel-promo-image3
Previous Supermans (which I presume is the correct plural) have been very good looking, but Henry Cavill may be the first to really ooze sex appeal. Indeed part of the character in earlier movies is that he’s so clean-cut and good that he’s virtually neutered. However Cavill’s Clark Kent is a bit rougher and as in the image above, a bit more of a come hither look.

The pic has been released to support Kellogg’s new US tie-in promotion where they’re promising to give away Superman’s power – not literally, just things approximating them, such as flights, fast cars and a personal trainer.

We’re also currently waiting for something to happen on the Man Of Steel website, which is currently covered in static. Many have suggested it’s part of the preparations for the launch of a new trailer (possibly coming tomorrow to tie in with the MTV Movie Awards), but we’ll have to wait and see.

Tom Hardy Wants To Go To Bed With Gerard Butler

By Leave a Comment

tom-hardy-gerard-butler1 tom-hardy-gerard-butler2 tom-hardy-gerard-butler3 tom-hardy-gerard-butler4If you’ve never seen RockNRolla, it features Tom Hardy as Handsome Bob, who’s in the closet and has a semi-secret crush of Gerard Butler’s One-Two.

The moment above is one that’s great to revisit now that Tom’s a lot more famous and we can all wish he was asking to come to our beds.

It’s not impossible either, as he’s admitted in the past to having a bit of a fiddle with men in his youth, even if he’s now decidedly straight. It’s certainly enough to keep our dreams alive. (GIFs via WoW, FormerMaleProstitute & DragQueenNeame)
