A thriller with a bisexual male hero? American readers can't handle it. In the wake of the US supreme court decision on gay marriage, one might think that Americans now feel comfortable with homosexuality.
I have evidence to the contrary. When my thriller My Name is N came out this month in the US, it got very positive reviews and even led the book section in Entertainment Weekly.

Public Bathrooms Are Gender Battlegrounds, Mostly Due to Terrible Signage. French schoolboys told they can wear skirts to school. Many pupils, however, were angry with adult protesters hijacking their initiative.
"They have no right coming to our lycee and taking over our idea," Laurine, a pupil, told 20 Minutes, the news website. "You can protest against sexism without any intention of promoting gender theory. That has nothing to do with the original issue and aim of this demonstration," said another. Simon, another, said: "I wasn't really aware of what was going on but just to annoy (these protesters) I'll be coming in a skirt tomorrow and I think other blokes will follow suit. " Olivier Vial, president of the conservative UNI party said: "We'll do any old nonsense in the name of equality. "This move is inspired by the Day of the Skirt, whose original aim was to allow women to express their femininity in environments where it was often difficult. The row then hit parliament, which has been the scene of angry debates over social reforms in the past year. The idea came from the pupils themselves, he said.
Ellen Page Interview - Ellen DeGeneres Talk Show. Months after Ellen Page came out, the X-Men: Days of Future Past star sat down with another Ellen to share the many ways her life has improved since her big announcement.
"I did not anticipate just how happy I would feel in just every aspect of my life, just an ease and a comfort. And, it's really been quite extraordinary to feel the shift," Page tells DeGeneres, no stranger to "releasing shame" and the catharsis of coming out herself. It was kudos all around, as DeGeneres thanked young Juno for her thoughtful and brave coming-out speech. "My biggest fear was having a panic attack, quite frankly," Page admits. "But, I was so excited to do it and just so ready to do it. "
¿Qué pasaría si juntaras a un homofóbico con un gay y les pidieras que se abrazaran? ‘Girl Crush’: Why the Lesbian and Queer Women Community Is Fashion’s Major Blind Spot. The term "girl crush" has wormed its way firmly into our lexicon: defined on Urban Dictionary as "feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl," the term has become a go-to for the English-speaking world, especially the fashion industry, to describe women we admire.
On Fashionista alone, a search for the term pulls up stories about subjects as varied as Jenna Lyons, Alexa Chung, Charlotte Gainsbourg, the Haim sisters and Maude Apatow. It spawns headlines ("Cheryl Cole And Khloe Kardashian Reveal Their Girl Crushes") and its own hashtag -- #WomenCrushWednesday, or #WCW.
But what if there were a negative undertone to the term? El homenaje póstumo de Robert De Niro a su padre gay. El estreno del documental Remembering the artist Robert De Niro Sr. en el festival de Sundance hace tres semanas concitó el interés de la crítica más por el morbo que despertaba su historia que por el valor fílmico de la pieza.
Acostumbrados a los disparates que habitualmente engendran ciertas estrellas de Hollywood en sus zambullidas detrás de las cámaras, las ocurrencias de ciertos actores ricos generalmente despiertan apatía y mucho sopor. Pero en el caso de Robert De Niro, su demostrada destreza como director en un par de películas presagiaba algo diferente. Tras el visionado de la cinta, los profesionales de los medios especializados mostraron su sorpresa por la sensibilidad del filme y la cadena HBO no dudó en hacerse con los derechos de emisión.
En los cuarenta minutos que dura el relato, De Niro desvela los pormenores de la vida privada de su familia. "Todo esto lo he hecho por él", afirmó el actor en Sundance. Robin Roberts Comes Out. Straight German Male Celebrities Make Out With Each Other To Fight Homophobia. GQ Germany has strapped on the Cupid wings to play matchmaker for straight male celebrities who are happily lip-locking to fight homophobia.
The effort pits sexy well-known men from various industries together in intimacy in front of the cameras for the campaign, titled "Gentlemen Against Homophobia.
