Gays of our Lives (December 15, 2009)
6 hours ago
Welcome to the final edition of Gays of
Our Lives for the year. We’ve got a lot for you this week.
First up, our second annual Gool Best And Worst polling has us asking your
opinions on what you loved and hated this year in gay soaps. What was the best
show both in the States and from our foreign neighbors? What storyline did you
love the most? Who is your favorite straight character? And who do you think is
the best couple? We’ll be asking these questions and a whole lot more.
In Gool Theater, if you don’t want to hear me gush about One Life to Live yet again, you’re out
of luck. Find out why (as if you don’t know) when we take a look at this past week’s
clips. Plus, after a few weeks absence, Good
Times, Bad Times (German

Fox's Animation Domination Has Holiday Cheer for All: Homophobia, Strippers, and Bloody Rapture
14 hours ago
Flashback guest appearance by Herbert
Fox aired an all-new Animation Domination block last night,
and offered up a decidedly mixed bag of humor.
Now before people try and tell me that I have no sense of
humor, I feel the need to go on record and say that I found some of this really
funny. And I found just enough of it over the line to ruin the whole evening.
Let’s start with the newest member of the comedy block, The Cleveland Show.
A couple weeks back, we had mentioned that The Cleveland Show had
raised the ire of some trans activists at The Bilerico Project who wondered where GLAAD was
with these shows. GLAAD eventually
responded to those concerns with a statement that they had ongoing
issues with Fox concerning their Sunday night programming, and had scheduled
meetings with Fox on that topic which should have been held last week.

Your Hero and Asshat of the Week (December 14, 2009)
15 hours ago
We normally just announce an Asshat of the Week winner, but in Friday's Best Gay Week Ever column we introduced a companion poll, Hero of the Week, to recognize the good guys too. Just a way to balance out the karma around here. As you can probably tell from the image above Rachel Maddow took one of the crowns and Uganda the other.
You can probably guess who was the hero and who was the asshat, but to find out who they were up against and what their margin of victory was, check out the results after the break!
Why the Maddow win? It probably had something to do with this...
Why the Uganda win? If you don't know you've been living under a rock.
Both our Hero and Asshat will reign supreme until this Friday, when a new crop of candidates are announced in the Best Gay Week Ever column.

"A Single Man" Doesn't Reach "Brokeback Mountain" Heights in Opening Weekend
18 hours ago
For those of you who track these sorts of things, the box office for A Single Man didn't exactly hit a home run over the weekend. Call it more of a double. Opening in just nine theaters, A Single Man grossed $216,000 for a a per screen average of $24,000. That's not terrible by any means especially for an art house movie. In comparison, Disney's The Princess and the Frog opened Friday on 3,434 screens totaling nearly $28 million for a per screen average of $7,280.
But movies opening in limited release usually tend to pull in much higher per screen averages due to pent up demand from moviegoers eager to see new releases, especially critically acclaimed ones. For instance, George Clooney's Up in the Air opened on 72 screens this weekend and managed $34,000 per screen. Even Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones scared up a $38,000 per screen average on its three screen release despite decidedly mixed reviews.
