Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch should start a club for British guys who are undoubtedly hot, but it’s slightly difficult to put your finger on exactly why they are as attractive as they are. However, Tom Hiddlestons has now proved – as if he needed to – that one things he has got is an extremely hot body.
A new photoshoot for W Magazine gets Tom down to his boxer shorts, and while he doesn’t exactly look that happy (dating Taylor Swift will do that to you), he does look extremely good. That said, we could recommend some better undies if he wants us to.
You can take a look at some of Mona Kuhn’s images below (click on them for larger versions). Now we just need to teach him how to smile more. [Read more…]
We haven’t seen anything of the guys from Old Dogs & New Tricks since the end of 2014. They’re returning with a fourth and final season of the popular gay-themed web series later this year, but before then we’ve got the half-hour special below, released to mark a year since the US Supreme Court decision on marriage equality.
There is no doubt that the stories of transgender people have tended to be marginalised and hidden. The new webseries We’ve Been Around attempts to redress the balance a little, with six, five-minute episodes, each of which takes a look at different trans people and their impact.
The first five episodes of Mike Roma’s new web series, Danny The Manny, have now been released, and they’re certainly worth a watch. Roma plays the titular character, an out gay man who’s been hired to look after a young boy called Quinn while his parent are working.
It is not exactly a secret that JK Rowling is a massive supporter of marriage equality and LGBT rights, and it appears she has brought some deliberate parallels with that to the script for her Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. A new featurette gives us a few hints at that, with Rowling talking about the importance to her of heroes who are, “set apart, stigmatised or othered.”
It turns out Batman v Superman star Jesse Eisenberg has no time for anti-gay trolls. He’s currently in London starring in The Spoils, a play he also wrote that is currently playing at Trafalgar Studios. That theatre is just steps from Trafalgar Square, which was the focus of London Pride events on Saturday, with the result that on his way to work, Eisenberg came across a bunch of anti-gay, ‘Christian’ protesters.
Over the last few months there have been various hashtag campaigns on Twitter to give some prominent movie character same sex partners. That includes Elsa from Frozen and Captain America. The likelihood of Marvel allowing Cap to date a boy is pretty remote, but there was a lot of Twitter support for #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend, especially following the closeness between the character and Bucky/The Winter Soldier in the films.
When Roland Emmerich’s movie about the iconic Stonewall gay rights riots was preparing for its US release last year, it came in for a lot of criticism for whitewashing the events. Many felt that by concentrating on a young, white, ‘twink’ (played by Jeremy Irvine), it was sidelining the importance of trans people and people of color to the events.
Nico Tortorella has been turning many a gay man’s head since he popped up in the likes of Scream 4 and The Following. Now the actor, who’s currently starring in TV’s Younger, has revealed that he is sexually fluid.
The cult classic franchise from Robert Rodriguez returns…
To support the home entertainment release of Boulevard, we have a copy on DVD to give away.
It’s a real shame with Looking, as the fact it didn’t become a real success has probably made it more difficult to get gay-themed series made in the US. Perhaps most tragically is that I have a feeling that in years to come it will be viewed a lot more favourably than it is now.
