Sanjaya Malakar: I’m Not Gay
American Idol alum Sanjaya Malakar says despite what people may say, he isn’t gay.
“Like, yeah, a lot of people want me to be their gay best friend, and I make a really good gay best friend. But I don’t like guys, so it confuses people,” Sanjaya said on Tuesday’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
Sanjaya’s sexuality came up after jungle-mate Janice Dickinson asked him to put guy-liner on, and he obliged.

‘Fat Gay Jew’ - surprises with unexpected freshness
While its title sounds like an epithet, if not a racial slur, Fat Gay Jew, Charter Theater’s trio of interrelated one-act plays, contains ample laugh-out-loud moments.
Area-based actor/playwright Mario Baldessari has collected a provocative list of ugly names for those who are fat, gay or Jewish. But he’s also written three reasonably believable scenarios that highlight some of the most uncomfortable aspects of being either fat, gay or Jewish.
This compact 90-minute evening takes place at Arlington’s intimate Theatre on the Run stage Thursdays through Sundays until May 23.
Is it a play with a message? Yes, and that’s clearly stated in the prologue/preface when actor Jim Helein allows there’s lots of “touchy stuff that most good people don’t usually say.”
Director Keith Bridges uses a bare-bones set — a table and four chairs — and has mined his performers’ individual quirks. Laconic Helein has no choice but to play the fat guy, his size and girth evident. He’s the one we meet first as he moves the furniture complaining that just because he’s fat doesn’t mean he’s strong.
Baldessari plays the gay guy with exaggerated feyness and Renee Calarco, the self-described token Jew in the theater company, plays a suburban wife, a single woman whose best friends are gay men and a convert to Judaism who believes that her Jewish connections make her a better Jew.

On Friday’s episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show when Oprah was introducing the world to her new cocker spaniel puppy, Sadie, Oprah’s best friend Gayle King had a revelation of her own: her 14 year-old brown cocker spaniel Spencer is gay. Specifically, King said that her dog was “gay and deaf.”
“How do you know that your dog’s gay?” asked guest co-host Mark Consuelos, looking puzzled.
“He’s very girly,” explained King. “He’s very, very girly. There’s no doubt.”
“And we mean that in the best way,” Oprah added.

Gay youth risk his life, Why?
Most people don’t realize just how traumatizing high school is for some kids. If you “odd,” “strange,” or just “different” from the other kids you better have some pretty thick skin. In the homosexual community, the youth don’t have a built up tolerance to the taunting and teasing. The higher risk of suicide is attributed to the violence, whether it is verbal harassment of physical assaults. Young adults don’t have the control over their opinions that most adults should have.
People like to point fingers and say that “if they weren’t gay they wouldn’t have committed suicide.” That is the worst statement, to think that someone was so ashamed of themselves that they would take their own life just because. They must be provoked and really hurting inside to do that. People who come out and say “look I’m gay” are comfortable with it, they aren’t ashamed or sorry about the way they are
The most common situation that kids are in when they commit suicide goes something like this:
A young boy around 16 knows he is gay and has come to terms with it. He accepts it and is now ready to come out and tell everyone, because he is proud of himself for coming to such a big realization. So, he admits to his close friends and some are happy for him and are really supportive of his choice. But then there a few, or maybe just one, he is best friend and one of the football team favorites. He is shocked, tells his friend that he isn’t gay, it’s impossible. They have known each other for years and it just isn’t true. Eventually, the best starts avoiding him, making “gay” jokes about him, and starts taunting him with the other kids. Then it starts getting physical, fights with a few kids everyday and the taunts get worse. The young boy can’t handle being bruised daily, having things thrown at him, his stuff vandalized and has nowhere to hide.
The school says they’ll talk to the others, which only make things worse because he told on them, he wanted them to get in trouble. Parents say that it is just boys being boys and to “tough it out.” In the end the boy sees suicide as an easy end to an impossible situation.

Of course Tintin’s gay. Ask Snowy
His adventures have sold more than 200 million copies and been translated into 50 languages, and this weekend he celebrates his 80th birthday. But how well do we really know Tintin? One thing’s for certain…
Billions of blue blistering barnacles, isn’t it staring us in the face? Sometimes a thing’s so obvious it’s hard to see where the debate could start. What debate can there be when the evidence is so overwhelmingly one-way? A callow, androgynous blonde-quiffed youth in funny trousers and a scarf moving into the country mansion of his best friend, a middle-aged sailor? A sweet-faced lad devoted to a fluffy white toy terrier, whose other closest pals are an inseparable couple of detectives in bowler hats, and whose only serious female friend is an opera diva…
. . . And you’re telling me Tintin isn’t gay?
And Liberace was a red-blooded heterosexual. And Peter M… oops - steer clear - burnt fingers once there already. But really, what next? Lawrence of Arabia a ladies’ man? Richard the Lionheart straight? And I suppose the Village People were a band of off-duty police officers, YMCA was a song about youth-hostelling, and Noddy and Big Ears are just good friends.
But I’d better make the case because, astonishingly (and though when I googled “Tintin” and “gay” I got 526,000 references), there are still Tintin aficionados who remain in denial about this.
