Football Team Waterboarded To Make “Political Point” In Gay Pride Film
A Canadian filmaker has made a movie for Gay Pride Week featuring football players getting waterboarded with rainbow-colored underwear covering their noses and mouths, Towleroad reports.
The movie is called “No Safe Words,” a reference to S & M culture, and director Noam Gonick said he intended to make a political point by using the waterboarding imagery.
Canadian gay lesbian news source xtra.ca spoke to Gonick about the film:
The military, says Gonick, “uses homoerotic, aggressive acts to harm victims and act as a contagion to society in general.”
And, he says, it turns us on. “Conquest is not only about territory, or oil, or puppet dictatorships,” he says. “It’s sexual, too.”
Gonick says the film is supposed to draw an analogy to the “conformity” of the gay community.
“It’s about us and who we’ve become,” he says. “We’re willing to do anything to get the approval of the state.”

Gay Star Trek Episode Finally Beams in at ‘Phase II’
The advanced fan film website, “Star Trek: Phase II,” is resurrecting a homosexual story-line deemed too risky for The Next Generation’s TV run.
The new online episode (“Blood and Fire”) goes live tomorrow and features a story by former Trek TV writer David Gerrold. While executives shot the story down as too controversial for broadcast originally, “Phase II” adapted the script for its recreated Original Series world.
The story features the nephew of James T. Kirk in a gay relationship with an Enterprise crewman as the ship faces an AIDS-like contagion and a threat from the Klingon Empire. It would seem Kirk would oppose California’s Prop 8 as the captain evidently agrees to perform a same-sex wedding ceremony for his nephew — if NCC-1701 survives.
