This past weekend thousands converge on Washington for the National Equality March in Washington speak out for equal rights for all citizens in the U.S., including the right for all Americans marry. Serendipity intervened Congress who was supposed had a break for many members to their home states, had their holiday weekend suspended so they could stay in session working on passing legislation on ground breaking health care legislation. Some of the Congress person who have argue against the need for such federal legislation couldn't avoid the call for action.
Destiny, PG, Tom and Wicked were among those who marched speaking out and demanding equality for all. The March ended up at the steps of the Capitol in a rally for equality. PG sent along some pictures of the day.
OMG says thank you to Destiny, PG, Tom and Wicked for marching.

Thanks PG for being our official photographer. The photos came out great.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your comment about OTH and Nathan, he is married and has a kid. But yeah, I don't get why a scandal of this sort would affect his basketball career, no NBA team woul care about something like this. I know it's kind of stupid to conplain about an unrealistic plot-line on a show like that, but there you have it.
Thanks YouTube for the link.
Rendition was a little to soon, but don't think Love & Drug's will be, because healthcare debate will still be going on despite the changes coming when it opens.
ReplyDeleteRight now, however, Azaria’s attention is also on “Love and Other Drugs.” In fact, he tells us that with the health care debate raging on, he, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal and the rest of the “Love and Other Drugs” team keep saying to one another, “We wish this movie was coming out next week. It just has so much to say about the effect big pharma has really had on the medical profession and the health care world. It’s greater than people think,” Azaria declares. “This really goes into what that system has created and how it works in a day-to-day way.”

ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your article about Austin Nichols and Sophia Bush, I have to wonder what is up with those One Tree Hill ladies. Tell me, is Danneel Harris and Jensen Ackles' relationship comparable to Sophia and Austin's? And if so, would it be fair to say that Jared Padalecki is the Jake Gyllenhaal to Jensen's Austin?
—Curious
Dear Telenovela:
Whatever you're drinking, honey, I want some of that!
Dear Ted:
I read somewhere that either the director or someone on set of Walk the Line said that Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix fell in love during filming. Any truth to these rumors, and do they still talk? Big, big hug to you from across the ocean!
—Dng
Dear Great Question:
Is that why Joaquin went off the deep end? Nah, probably not—even she isn't the sweet fix he constantly needs.
Dear Ted:
I'm sure you won't stay single long (not that there is anything wrong with that if that's what you desire!). Please settle a bet. We've noticed that Austin Nichols has some stubble on his face. So tell us...would you say he has a "beard" or not?
—Karen
Dear Growing Pains:
Hard to say—I don't grow them.
Awwww indeed, what a cute picture of Adam and his boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever question about Austin! Too bad we got another one of Ted's slightly nonsensical non-answers. My guess is that he's saying he dosn't know yet what Austin is growing--a full beard, or just some stubble to promote OTH.

ReplyDeleteSo where are all of these photos of them arriving together? I'd love to see them.
ReplyDeleteSophia Bush is a bigtime supporter of gay rights. She attended more than on rally for prop 8 and was very vocal when asked about the topic during an interview done at an event she attended.
ReplyDeleteBearding isn't something she would be doing, even if it is her friend.
She is a very very vocal person who does not sit back and keep her mouth shut when it comes to issues she believes in. She even changed her voter registration from CA to NC in the last election because she felt her vote in NC would have a bigger impact on the swing state.
It's true she has dated her co-stars, but she clearly didn't do it for the PR in the past. She married a co-star that cheated on her and it was all over the tabloids about what he did and with whom.
Reese is a different bread, she was in a horrible marriage for years, seperated for years and she kept that information under lock and key, putting on a happy front for the PR machine and living a different life at home.
Sophia doesn't cater to middle america on issues and she also isn't afraid to admit to eating meat or owning a gun. When her husband cheated she didn't lie and put on a nice PR smile, she kicked him to the curb and had to deal with tabloid stories left and right.
If she is in a relationship with Austin Nichols, it's not so she can beard for him. That isn't who she is, it's not her MO.
Clearly people attending events that they are at are saying they are a couple, in NYC, in the Hamptons, in Austin and now in LA.
Do you really think no one can tell it's you posting, passingby?
ReplyDeleteDidn't like what Austin was saying? I certainly wouldn't like it if my boyfriend told people he was only there for the tequila and not for me...
And what a great relationship they have! Austin is flying to LA just to go to an event with Sophia and then he doesn't even get to go home with her. Why, you might say that they're almost acting like... friends!
Maybe Austin went home with Zach.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would do it - Sophia knows about homophobia in Hollywood and sounds like a great friend.
Sophia may think she is doing a good thing by bearding for a good friend, but what she is really doing is promoting a homophobic system that keeps things from changing in HW and elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteSophia, as long as someone suppsoedly as progressive as you is willing to engage in such behavior, nothing is ever going to change for your gay friends. They will just continue to have miserable, closeted lives.
Great Photos PG ! Thanks for including them in your post Special, they look great. In one of them PG it looks like you were going past the CDN Embassy on your way to the Capitol.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ted sure isn't letting go of Jake, Austin, Sophia, and the midget now is he! He really keeps things nicely packaged even if he isn't crystal clear with his comments.
You're right Seaweed, we did go right by the CDN Embassy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post today guys, thanks for the pics PG!
ReplyDeleteHey, the pictures do look pretty good; Special, you made them look good. I don't have the knack of a camera eye at all, but oh well.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I got all lost on that first Q & A of Ted's up there. I'm confused. Can someone help, lol?
So how come we don't have pictures of Austin arriving at or being at this award party? Or do we? No doubt he was probably there. But we have pictures of Sophia, just not Austin. What's the deal?
Good to see you last night, Kacie! Thanks for your good wishes - they felt so good. Dad's still asleep. I believe he'll remain that way until he passes on. He's not responding to anything. Sandy, the Hospice nurse said her best guess would be that it could happen this weekend, but we never know these things. There's never a timetable.
Anyway, us 3 siblings have never had so much together time since we were all living at home, lol. I'm here at home to check emails, get the mail and get my copies of those forms from my funeral class so we can start working on things.
Okay, well, I better go. Just checking in on things. There's no one around my mom's house who has a connection I can hook up to; I'd have to go down the street to the library. Oh! Another one of my missions. To grab my sister's Apple laptop so her & my brother can go to the library and check their emails. Another reason why I can't dawdle.
You all have a good evening!
Take care (((((PG)))))
ReplyDeletewas he in la with her? yes
ReplyDeletedid he attend two events with her? yes
If he is so interested in bearding than why not walk the carpet together?
Several sources have blogged about seeing them together as a couple at both events, check out twitter and the people who blogged give names and have industry connections.
Why bother heading to LA if your bearding but your not photographed together ?
A fact is that Sophia is a big supporter of equal rights for gay people and has gone on record and taken to the streets to make this a known fact.
She isn't one to create fake relationships in the past and she has mixed it up at the workplace before.
Why aren't they walking the carpet together, because they are protecting their product OTH and at the same time keeping things private. I doubt Austin would have any problem letting the relationship become public knowledge. He freely offered up the fact that he dated Sophia in interview long before he landed on OTH.
He isn't talking because she doesn't talk about her realtionships. But there are enough stalkers in Wilmington that know whats going on.
Believe what you wish. Ignore the simple truths. But this girl doesn't need Austin or the PR this relationship is getting to better her career, she gets it already.

ReplyDeleteAustin attends parties like that to meet new people and make new contacts - extremely important in his business.
Believe what you wish. Ignore the simple truths.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have no problem doing that, lol.
(((PG))) keeping you in thoughts and prayers. Thanks for all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteTed is putting more and more out there linking Jake and Austin as Toothy and Goose as well as saying in his own special way answering the BV of Judas Jack Off and Dashed Dingle Dream as Jared and Jensen.
I think Ted is saying he's still out on the "is it a beard, or not" thing with Austin and Sophia. One thing Ted has said is, that there is nothing romantic going on between them.
Getting ready for my Pops to come tomorrow. When almost everybody in the family goes to the same college, homecoming/reunion weekends become a family thing. It's going be great to reconnect with old friends this weekend too.
Have fun, Spesh. :)
ReplyDeleteHi PG. I sure am thinking about you. I am so glad you have family support.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for the pics and coming to DC to support your friends. You are a very special person. If only the world had more wonderful people like you.
Thank you also Spesh for all your great coverage of the march. I for one sure appreciate your support. It felt so wonderful being there with good friends on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for the peole who live their life as a lie. How can they have pride in themselves when they see people fighting for their comstitutional rights, sad for sure.
Hey Spesh where is the proof that the name Toothy Tile was present at the rally. The hat got many stares. I want PR and Jake to know it was there.
ReplyDeleteDoes Passing By's shtick sound familiar? Isn't it the same thing we heard, oh, about three years ago, starting with condo/house shopping in NYC?
ReplyDeleteSoon it will be reported that Bush is walking around with rental car keys in her hands, you know, to throw off the paps because being on the downlow while the tabloids and gossipistas are crowing, PR's leaking appearance schedules, and the zealots are bouncing off blog walls as they race crazy to post every little, minute detail, personal intimacies that only TRUE fans would know to show their dedication and devotion is Shelley, Keats and Shakespearean love at its most flowery romantic.
What, is there only one industry Bearding playbook?
Actually, this crap with Austin makes her look pathetic. Married one, dated another, and now a third? What, she can only get dates with the guys on OTH? After this, who's left?
LOL, Tom, on the hat. Thanks for continued support to you and to everyone. It means the world to us.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your dad, Special! Too bad the Sox aren't in the playoffs and in town while he's up there. Heck, I don't even know who's in it right now.
Thanks, too, Special, for help on Tedspeak. That first question was way too involved for me. I got lost.
Well, I am off to do a little writing. Believe it or not, ladies, 31a is virtually finished. I'd like to finish 31b too, though, so we'll see if it comes together by tomorrow. I'm off to do just a bit more while I can.
Sweet dreams to everyone!!
I need a translator for Ted today as well, though I notice that he mentions Jake and Austin at the same time with increasing frequency.
ReplyDeleteRe Austin and Sophia, they are both single. Young people are expected to date. There is nothing to keep secret. The only thing they have to hide is that they are just friends. Being seen out is good for both the show (OTH) and the Reeke showmance. Austin lives in LA, he probably had other reasons to be in town.
Lol at passingby pointedly ignoring what Austin is going on record with. Just like she won't comment on them not going home together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he is so ready to go public with it, it's Sophia holding him back! You're right 'been there, done that to death', it didn't work then, isn't any more believable now.
It's funny, Austin and Sophia have been friends forever and now indulge in some teasing are they/aren't they stuff to help promote the series. Jake and Reese knew each other for ever and co-billed not co-starred in a movie, then began a public relationship that has had to last much longer than either can have envisaged at the beginning. To me it's still a no-brainer. If J & A were dating women, they would be dating different women.
ReplyDeleteOn a law school board, somebody posted about famous people they've met. Jake was on the list.
ReplyDelete"Jake Gyllenhaal is gayer than a San Francisco IKEA on a Super Bowl Sunday. He's with Reese to boost his profile and Reese wants to look younger." SOURCE
Said she used to be a celebrity reporter for a major tabloid.
He's with Reese to boost his profile and Reese wants to look younger.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't work.
Boost his profile as a sexless, crabby suburban stepdad?
