Gays Kiss-In for Valentine's Day in Paris

Via Towleroad is information on the kiss-in held in Paris today. Confronted with threats of Christianist violence, many went to the relocated site of the event. Here are some highlights:
*
"The "kiss-in" had originally been planned to take place in front of Notre Dame Cathedral but Christian Fundamentalist websites called in to "defend their faith against this provocation" using 'aids bags', 'sodomites' and other homophobic insults. The websites called for a violent response so the organizers decided to change the location to place Saint Michel in the nearby Latin Quarter, after the police strongly encouraged it, saying they could not protect them in case of trouble. The kiss in was held peacefully at St-Michel but some gays went to Notre Dame anyway and witnesses are saying 200 Christian activists were expecting them, and after they started kissing, they were attacked with motorbike helmets and kicked.

Isn't it amazing how the self-styled "true Christians" can always be identified by their hate and lack of love for others. WWJD?

Superman Goes Gay

On a lighter note, I love the fact that Brandon Routh is playing gay in the new movie. He's a cutie and it'll drive the wingnuts into convulsions that he's now going to be on screen kissing a guy. He can kiss me ANYTIME he wants. Take that Don Wildmon and James Dobson. :) Here's the story:

Kevin Smith has revealed his delight at featuring Superman Returns star Brandon Routh in a gay kissing scene.The director, who cast Routh as the boyfriend of Justin Long's gay adult star in upcoming comedy Zack And Miri Make A Porno, said he was not convinced that he could secure Routh's services due to Superman's clean-cut image."

I asked him, 'Brandon, do you have some sort of morals clause in your contract that you can't play a role like this, since you played Superman?'," Smith recalled. "He's like, 'What, is this 1942? Of course I don't have that! As long as I don't play another superhero'."I said, 'Fantastic, now go in there and kiss that dude!' I did think it was cute that I got to direct Superman making out with a guy."
