I have always found Colin Farrell to come across as friendly and understanding towards gays and gay issues. It turns out that his older brother is gay and about to marry his boyfriend with Colin to be best man. As with Anne Hathaway, one of the stars of Brokeback Mountain, having a gay sibling definitely opens one's eyes to our world and what we frequently experience for merely being who God made us to be. Here are some story highlights from Pink News (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-6710.html):Actor Colin Farrell is to be best man at his brother's civil partnership ceremony.Eamon Farrell, 35, is planning to marry his 23-year-old boyfriend Steven Mannion after a proposing to him in New York last year.
The younger Farrell brother is best-known for his versatile performances in a string of hit films such as Phone Booth and Alexander. It is rumoured Colin, 31, helped Eamon choose a diamond and sapphire-studded ring for his boyfriend. The brothers are very close, and have bought houses next door to each other in Sandymount, South Dublin.The couple have not yet decided where they will exchange vows - but it won't be in the Republic.
The insider told the Mirror: "With Irish legislation the way it is at the minute, the wedding can't be here. "But the couple could go to the North or England for a civil partnership ceremony there. "It's more likely though that they'll get married in the States so Colin's whole family can be there."
