HISTORIC!

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family."


"In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their pleas is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfilment for themselves Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."

What a historic day for the United States.  The last block of equality to fall.  Truly all are now equal.  Equal to love who they love and be recognize.

The response is overwhelming and was immediate from around the world. Talk about the lives of so many changing in an instant.

Many  headlines today started with Hollywood's response to marriage equality and shared the tweets of individuals celebrating this historic ruling.

But that is not Hollywood's response.  Those are individual responses.

The  real Hollywood response that needs to be seen is to stop this idea that leading stars and storylines must be straight.

Hello Hollywood look around..... the world is beyond the idea that the only way is straight.    Bring the equality to Hollywood  that the world is embracing.

The world is moving ahead of you .... catch up.

Speaking of catching up....

Today Sundance Channel had a poll of those LGTB movie couples that they would like to see married.   And what couple led the votes?

Oh you know it.

Brokeback broke barriers when it came to the screen. But it was ahead of time for many.

Looking back from there to now it is monumental how much change has happened.


Hollywood catch up and those in Hollywood you too  

The world is different place, those baby steps 

can become strides of pride  now.


you too big guy .... remember you tweeting this video

Zig to Zag

Jake has been all over since the beginning of May - Vegas, Cannes, Italy, New York, DC, Los Angeles.  And has been rumored with so many different "dates" you need a score card and case of the zig zags. 

This weekend is no different.  Last night Jake picked up the Guy Con award at 2015 Spike TV Guys Choice Awards, in LA, with his co-star Rachel presenting him the award for the second time he played a guy in trouble law.  This time he's not a surrogate father like in Brothers and it's boxing and not building that is the comeback.



 Tonight, it's the Annual Tony Awards, and no doubt Jake winged his way back to NYC for the festivities even if he missed out on being nominated for Constellations. No doubt he will be there to support his co-star, of the two person play, Ruth who is nominated for best actress.   That's what you do for the co-star/sister/rumor date/random rumored kisser,  right?


Wait - are we talking Ruth or Rachel?

 That's enough confuse the public, (or is that the point there buddy)


Anyway,  maybe you should just do what you did back in 2013 Jake, when you Spiked and Tony'd it then. 


Make The Tony's a guys night again. Hey can still do the co-star thing, just bring that long-time cutie co-star you were with in Italy, and no we don't mean Ms. Greta.

These are not the horns  I hook at home.
