Daniel Radcliffe graces the August 2009 cover of the UK’s biggest gay magazine
Harry Potter himself, newly 20 year old Daniel Radcliffe graces the August 2009 cover of Attitude Magazine, the UK’s biggest gay magazine. Aside from lending his magical good looks to the cover, Daniel sat down for an interview, where he talked a lot of politics with the mag.
He said that he’s not a fan of the Conservative or New Labour parties. At only 20 years old, Daniel is not yet old enough to vote, but says that next year he will cast his ballot for Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrat party. On voting turnout, he said: see Daniel Radcliffe Attitude Magazine

Brüno’ Actor Shucks Clothes for Gay Mag Cover
Homophobic Film Ever Made?” That’s the blurb on the cover of Attitude, a British gay magazine, where comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, posing nude to promote his new film, appears.
The film in question–and the name of the character, whom Cohen continues to portray in live promotional appearances–is Brüno, in which Cohen plays a gay fashionista seeking redemption during a global road trip.
The production reportedly drew trouble for Cohen, who was arrested several times during the shoot.
But the film’s reception has also been mixed, with dubious and even hostile reactions coming from the GLBT community.
Though the film reportedly seeks to skewer homophobia, some GLBT equality advocates worry that “Brüno” will actually threaten social progress made by gays in the last several years by presenting audiences with a flamboyant gay character.
A July 1 article at the UK newspaper The Daily Mail reported that Cohen’s appearance on the cover of Attitude was meant to “appease” gay audiences.
The article pointed out that Cohen also appeared nude on the cover of GQ magazine.
Last month, Cohen appeared at the film’s London premiere in character, and in a revealing costume that riffed on the traditional uniforms of the Queen’s Guards, drawing headlines in the process. See Brüno’ Actor Shucks Clothes for Gay Mag Cover

Pentagon: No Plans To End Military Gay Ban
The Pentagon said today that it has no plans to repeal the military gay ban that prohibits open service by gay and lesbian soldiers. Pentagon Spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters Tuesday that repeal was not being actively pursued. The ban, known as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” prescribes discharge from the military for gay and lesbian service members who do not remain closeted or celibate. President Obama pledged to scrap the 1993 policy during the campaign, but has since soft-pedaled on the issue, saying he is looking for “fundamental reform.” When CBS National Security Correspondent David Martin asked Morrell for an update on what the Pentagon is doing to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell,” Morrell answered: “As far as I know, at this point, David, there has been no request made by the president to the Congress to repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’.”

Maine House Takes Up Gay Marriage Bill Today
A vote is expected today in the Maine House that will likely seal the deal on gay marriage in the Legislature. The bill would then need to be signed by Governor John Baldacci, a gay marriage opponent, for it to become law. Senator Dennis S. Damon’s gay marriage bill (LD 1020) passed Thursday in the Senate. Opponents were expecting a fight in the chamber but the bill was approved with a robust 21 to 14 vote. All except ten of the bill’s 65 co-sponsors are in the House, where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 2 to 1.
