Same sex-marriage of the year listing seen as "Gay -Eureka !" ever ?
Talking about "Gayest year ever?" a newest post on Msn entertainment, an exclusive year in review written By Barbara Card Atkinson.
The list including pictures would be more interests and for knowing about "the real world" as the source meaning.
The Gay Nineties have nothing on 2008: From the "That's So Gay" ads to the November H8 rallies to a rash of "who's who and gay, too" self-reveals, truly, we're wrapping up the gayest year ever (so far!) in pop culture.
Same-Sex Marriage Support With Star Power:
celebs take on Proposition 8 in California was a ballot amendment this November calling a halt to same-sex marriage, and it was a call to action for some big Hollywood names. Brad Pitt publicly donated $100,000 to fight the California ballot initiative, and other well-known contributors included Mary McCormack, Ellen DeGeneres, Bridget Fonda, Gus Van Sant, "The Real World" co-producer Jonathan Murray and George Takei. A pre-election, Beverly Hills fundraiser to defeat 8 that included performances by Mary J. Blige and Melissa Etheridge quickly sold out, and was attended by Barbra Streisand, Rob Reiner and others. And when they weren't donating their time or their performances, celebrities were talking to the media.
George Clooney said to E!'s Ted Casablanca, "At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."
When it was apparent that the right to same-sex marriage had been repealed, DeGeneres ran this statement on the official "Ellen" Web site: "I believe one day a 'ban on gay marriage' will sound totally ridiculous. In the meantime, I will continue to speak out for equality for all of us."
And on December 3, a three-minute video, "Prop 8: The Musical," was posted on FunnyOrDie.com.The mock community-theater production included singing and dancing by Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Margaret Cho, Rashida Jones and Andy Richter, with Jack Black as Jesus, espousing the concept of gay marriage as the cure for the US's economic woes. Within 24-hours, the clip hit bona fide viral status, with more than 1.1 million views on FunnyOrDie.com.
"It was like, 'Eureka! That's right, that's what I do!" said "Prop 8: The Musical" writer/composer Marc Shaiman, Tony-winning composer of "Hairspray" and "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut." "If I'm going to stand on the soap box, at least let me sing and dance."
While the passing of Proposition 8 discouraged and disappointed countless people, more celebs are coming out as gay-friendly. Could Hollywood really be wrapping up the concept of career-fear driven closeting? It's not there yet, certainly, but increasingly, sexual orientation is becoming just one more aspect of a celebrity's public persona.
