There was plenty to interest gay audiences in Penny Dreadful. The fact Reeve Carney is incredibly good looking was a bit of a bonus, and it certainly didn’t hurt when he had a major kissing scene with Josh Hartnett.
It took many people by surprise as until the fourth episode, there’d been little hint either character might enjoy the company of gentlemen in more than a friendly manner.
Carney was ar Comic Con and talked to TooFab at the much-talked about kiss, saying “I knew that something like that would likely happen at some point and I figure, you know, you could certainly do a lot worse than Josh Hartnett.”
He adds, “It’s probably all downhill for me in terms of any man-on-man action I might have on the show,’ he says. ‘They’ll have to keep their game high!”

Bryan Singer will probably be breathing a little easier today, as the charges in one of the two sex abuse lawsuits he’s facing have been dropped.

Winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent, Dear White People is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. Openly gay writer/director Justin Simien follows a group of African American students as they navigate campus life and racial politics at a predominantly white college in a sharp and funny feature film debut that earned him a spot on Variety’s annual “10 Directors to Watch.” When Dear White People screened at MOMA’s prestigious New Directors/New Films, the New York Times’ A.O. Scott wrote, “Seeming to draw equal measures of inspiration from Whit Stillman and Spike Lee, but with his own tart, elegant sensibility very much in control, Mr. Simien evokes familiar campus stereotypes only to smash them and rearrange the pieces.”

It often seems that capitalism has no time for history, and that’s the case for the bar profiled in We Came to Sweat. Founded in 1962, The Starlite was Brooklyn’s oldest black owned and operated gay bar. Over the decades it had been a refuge for people of colour who didn’t just face prejudice because of their sexuality, but also from other gay people because of their race.
One of the things I think can be most beneficial about LGBT cinema is giving us an insight into gay life in other parts of the world. However there are some places where making films about gay people isn’t just difficult is could be life threatening – that includes Iran.
