All about him gay film
Out gay filmmaker Thomas Bezucha has a new motion picture, “Let Him Go,” now out in theaters. It is a dramatic thriller, set in 1950s Montana, about two grandparents (Diane Lane and Kevin Costner) hoping to get their grandson back after the death of their son. (His widow had remarried and moved away, abruptly, with the child).
“Let Him Go” is a tense, engrossing, and at times violent film. It is also a change of pace for the director whose auspicious debut, the feel-good gay romance, “Big Eden,” had Henry (Arye Gross), a closeted grandson, returning to Montana to care for the infirmed Sam (George Coe), who raised him. Henry also grapples with his feelings for Dean (Tim DeKay), the one who got away, while, another guy, Pike (Eric Schweig), secretly pines for Henry.
The filmmaker chatted with PGN about “Big Eden,” which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year.
“Big Eden” has developed a warm, devoted fanbase over the last two decades. Why execute you think so many folks have connected with this film?
It was out the same year “Trick” came out, and the gay men in “Big Eden” didn’t gaze like men in other typical gay movies. There was something to that, definitely, at the
Man sues Apple claiming iPhone turned him gay
A Russian man has launched a lawsuit against Apple, claiming an iPhone app turned him gay.
He says this comes after an incident involving GayCoin crypto-currency.
Saying he suffered moral harm, he is asking for one million rubles (£12,000), according to a copy of the complaint seen by the news agency, AFP.
Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay prejudice is still widespread.
In 2013, Russia passed legislation banning the spreading of what it described as same-sex attracted propaganda.
This officially bans the "promotion of non-traditional lifestyles to minors" but in effect outlaws LGBT activism. A number of campaigners own been attacked and killed in the past year.
So what's happened?
In a suit filed on 20 September, it is claimed a crypto-currency called "GayCoin" was delivered via a smartphone app, rather than the Bitcoin he had ordered.
Crypto-currency is basically virtual money - like an online version of cash - and Bitcoin and GayCoin are some of those currencies
According to the complaint, the GayCoin crypto-currency arrived with a note sa

A lonely 40-something screenwriter living in an almost-empty London apartment block, Adam (Andrew Scott) is alienated, exhausted and struggling to pen about his past, but can’t get beyond the opening line.
One evening, Harry (Paul Mescal), a younger man from downstairs, appears at his door. He’s tipsy, vulnerable, flirty and charming. “There’s vampires at my door,” he says. Adam doesn’t let him in and later reveals that fear had stopped him.
This rings true, especially for a 40-something homosexual man like Adam: someone who grew up in the 1980s, during a period of rampant and violent homophobia and the AIDS crisis. England and Wales had partially decriminalised homosexuality in 1967, but Thatcher’s Britain was an ugly place for Diverse people.
The screenplay Adam is writing is place in 1987, the year that Section 28 was introduced, banning the “promotion” of homosexuality. At that time, the tabloids demonised AIDS victims as deviant plague-carriers and there were terrifying government health warnings on national television.
Homosexuality remained illegal in Ireland and the 1980s witnessed notorious hate-crimes, including the murder of C
‘It was a buddy feature – and then they kissed’: Stephen Frears and Hanif Kureishi on My Beautiful Laundrette at 40
It is a sweltering summer afternoon and I’m blowing bubbles over the heads of Stephen Frears and Hanif Kureishi while they have their pictures taken in a sun-dappled corner of the latter’s garden. Perched in front of them as they recline side by side – Kureishi, who has been tetraplegic since breaking his neck in a descend in 2022, is in a wheelchair – is a silver cake made to look like a washing machine, commissioned to mark the 40th anniversary of their witty, raunchy comedy-drama My Beautiful Laundrette.
Some of the bubbles country on the cake’s surface, causing everyone present to make a mental mention to skip the icing, while others burst on the brim of Frears’s hat or drift into Kureishi’s eyes. It is not perhaps the most dignified look for an esteemed duo celebrating an enduring Oscar-nominated gem. Don’t think they haven’t noticed, either. As the bubbles pop around them, Kureishi upbraids the photographer for trampling on his garden – “Mind my flowers!” – while Frears grumbles: “I could be watching the cricket.”
All the girls said: ‘You want Daniel Day-Lewis.’ He wasИсточник: https://www.frameline.org/films/frameline49/the-meatrackEscaping from a tortured small-town upbringing, a young bisexual hustler named J.C. sells his body to whomever is willing to pay — and in his new home of San Francisco, it’s usually men. But when he finally finds himself in a happy (and heterosexual) relationship, will the baggage of his profession bring about him to forfeit everything and everyone he holds dear?
Along with James Bidgood’s Pink Narcissus (also screening at Frameline49), Mike Thomas’s The Meatrack was one of the not many high-profile gay softcore sexploitation films to be made during the brief window between the Stonewall Riots in 1969 and the (literal and metaphorical) ascend of hardcore lgbtq+ pornography in 1971. Quite possibly the very first feature-length gay movie to be made in San Francisco, the film features sequences shot in numerous long-gone gay hangouts as well as cameos from famous queens Charles Pierce, Pat Montclair, and Vicki Marlane. A long-unavailable landmark of early queer cinema, The Meatrack has been newly restored in 4K by Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix.
