COPENHAGEN, Denmark – In just a few months, gay couples will get the right to marry in the Church of Denmark – that is if the new church minister has his way. The government plans to introduce a bill just after the New Year that will allow same-sex couples to hold weddings in the Church…
dvd of the week I must admit that I walked into The Help expecting to be offended. Because I knew it to be about a young white woman writing a book about the black maids in early 1960s Jackson, Miss., perhaps unfairly I expected it to be a prequel of sorts to the insidiously racist…
dvr this I have no idea how this will turn out, but in the season premiere of Made, MTV’s long-running show about wish fulfillment, a gay teenager is turned into a rapper. Knowing that MTV has long been the most progressive voice for gay rights on TV for 25 years, this episode could be amazing….
