Ewan McGregor shot down some casual homophobia from George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America yesterday in a discussion about a photo of McGregor and Jim Carrey kissing.
Asked Stephanopoulos as producers giggled (and one mumbled what sounds like “oh God”) in the background: “What is that about?”
Replied McGregor: “Well that’s just two men kissing, and it’s, uh, in this age, in 2010 it’s extraordinary that it’s still an object of humor.”
Stephanopoulos: “Well you aren’t just kissing, you’re kind of making out there.”
McGregor: “That’s a kiss. That’s just a kiss.”

Joy Behar of ABC’s The View and her own show on HLN called The Joy Behar Show has been an ardent straight ally on behalf of the LGBT community but is coming under criticism for generalizations about gay male relationships.
In a segment on The View she argues that gays take monogamy less seriously, and that it is permissible for gay men to have affairs. She maintains that the straight world is more inclined to break up a relationship where one partner goes astray while the gay community is more accepting of such behavior.
The gay community much like the straight community has a variety of viewpoints when it comes to the issue of monogamy. There are gays and straights who are polyamorous and have multiple partners, and there are many who regard monogamy as right for them. To assert a blanket statement for the entire community is plain misinformation and wrong to those millions of LGBT people who do practice monogamy.
Contact Joy Behar via Twitter and tell her to apologize for her remarks.

Mad Men’s Donald Draper Played by Jon Hamm has been been voted the World’s most Influential Man 2009 – Ahead of President Barak Obama. A Survery Conducted on on askmen.com.

Some new series take their sweet time doling out plot points. “Glee” is not one of those shows. Just consider the rapid-fire developments that went down Wednesday night: Temperamental Rachel quit her beloved glee club when she lost out on a prized solo, reconsidered, then quit again; evil-icious cheer coach Sue Sylvester blackmailed the principal as part of her new plot to bring down glee club; and pregnancy-faker Terri admitted (to exactly one person) that she wasn’t pregnant while chastity club president Quinn revealed she was — with her boyfriend’s best friend’s baby! What kind of whiplash-inducing drama could the producers possibly have in store now that they have an entire season to play with?
Who can wait to find out? Not me, especially when the twists and turns are handled as beautifully as Kurt’s brave, Beyonce-drenched coming-out. The episode began with the outcast glee clubber doing his best Sasha Fierce in a faithful homemade version of the singer’s Kanye-endorsed “Single Ladies” clip, complete with two backup dancers, black-and-white video, and the familiar booty-slapping, wrist-flicking choreography. That is, until Dad (“Yes, Dear’s” Mike O’Malley) came home early to catch “Deadliest Catch” on TV and halted the music.
Startled, Kurt immediately shifted into “I’m straight — no, really” overdrive, playing off the unitard he was wearing with “all the guys in football wear them. They’re jock-chic.” Fellow glee clubber Tina dutifully played the role of girlfriend, while Backup Dancer No. 2 piped up with the lie that Kurt was now the kicker on the school’s team. Now football — unlike sporting sequins to lip-synch some Mrs. Jay-Z — was a pursuit Dad could relate to since he’d played in junior college before screwing up his knee doing wheelies on his dirt bike. Naturally, he wanted a ticket to his son’s first game.
Conveniently, McKinley High’s victory-challenged team — the worst in the history of Ohio — had an opening since the previous kicker, 0 for 12 in field-goal attempts, had been demoted to “hydration services” (a.k.a. water-bottle filler-upper). Even so, Kurt would need his quarterback-crush Finn’s help. “Thanks, but I already have a date to the prom,” Finn quickly replied when Kurt said he had something to ask him. He proved more helpful with the actual tryout, encouraging a hair-conscious Kurt to wear his helmet (“Red’s your color”), running interference with snarky teammate Puck (“You joined Acafellas — what’s the difference?”) and holding the pigskin in position until Kurt, buoyed by the Beyonce blaring from his boom box, miraculously sent the football soaring across the field and through the hallowed uprights.
