After Stoudemire told Israeli media that he'd refuse to be in the same locker room as a gay teammate, Amaechi told TMZ Sports he's sick and tired of negative role models like A.S. "These are serious times and we need serious people to lead important conversations, not petulant man-children spouting puerile prejudice,...

Deadspin has a stunningly detailed piece about how competition amongst the groups in the Lgbt Sports Coalition nearly sank the orchestration of Derrick Gordon’s coming out. Athlete Ally and Hudson Taylor are not exactly painted as villains, but definitely not team players. It’s a great look at how the business of activism can sometimes get in the way of the goal of activism.
Georgia Gop Congressional candidate Jody Hice thinks that gays have shorter lifespans, prey on children and plan to sodomize them. Seriously, Georgia, knock this guy out in the runoff election because I don’t want to have to cover his brand of crazy again.

How This Columbia Wrestling Coach Is Fighting Homophobia in the Sports World He's on a quest to change the language of the locker-room. By Caroline Perkins As a freshman at the University of Maryland, Hudson Taylor noticed a problem. An All-American wrestler, and drama major, Taylor started to take another look at the seemingly innocuous locker-room banter of his wrestling team. As his friends starting coming out as gay, he realized, "Seeing them take that step to being truer to themselves really made it personal in a way that it hadn't been before. Then to go back to the locker room, back to the people who I should've been most in line with, and hear them use homophobic and demeaning language, made me realize this wasn't what I wanted of my sport and it wasn't what I wanted of my teammates. I realized [...]...

Colorado-based Half Crown Media has hired UK screenwriter Bart Gavigan to write an untitled biopic about the British missionary Hudson Taylor.
Gavigan [pictured] has a proven record of bringing historical dramas to the big screen, such as 2003’s Luther starring Alfred Molina and Joseph Fiennes and the 2006 film End Of The Spear, which also concerns Christian missionaries.
Taylor was a 19th century Protestant missionary and medical student sent to China.
He was renowned for his sensitivity to the local culture, treatment of thousands of opium victims and for establishing the organisation China Inland Mission that was responsible for 18,000 conversions.
“This film has enormous potential,” said producer and Half Crown Media chairman Ken Haron. “The universal appeal of this extraordinary drama deserves the talents of Bart Gavigan and others who together will create an outstanding production and worldwide release.”
The project is out to cast and investors.

Sir Ian McKellen has revealed that he's going to marry Sir Patrick Stewart. Well, he's going to officiate Sir Patrick's wedding. He's done it before for a civil partnership, he says.
Which seems at odds with the Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, that has decided not to perform any marriages until they're allowed to perform same-sex marriages. I always felt it was a nice gesture to say you weren't going to wed until everyone could, but probably unnecessary. Sir Ian obviously thinks so – what about you?

Vulture has a fun set visit to G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend) which stars Megan Mullally as the extremely gay positive mother to The Hard Times of R.J. Berger's out Paul Iacono. The plot is about a gay student played by Michael J.

It is very important, for your whole lives, give witness to what marriage truly means. And while civil laws might change – if they do – then society will be the worse for it.”

The full Frank Ocean interview with The Guardian is out, and it's worth a read. Several passages really stuck with me, but I really liked this one about why he put the liner notes out like he did. "It was important for me to know that when I go out on the road and I do these things, that I'm looking at people who are applauding because of an appreciation for me. I don't have many secrets, so if you know that, and you're still applauding … it may be some sort of sick validation but it was important to me. When I heard people talking about certain, you know, 'pronouns' in the writing of the record, I just wanted to – like I said on the post – offer some clarity; clarify, before the fire got too wild and the conversation became too unfocused and murky." Words of wisdom more than a few celebrities could learn from.
