"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Just boys. Chad Allen is in some movie now (End of the Spear) that was funded or something by some Christian group so him being out became sort of a "controversy." That's the only reason I know about him.

I read a bit about this. It was kind of funny/sweet, since the producer is an evangelical Christian, and Allen warned him upfront in casting, like, Hello to Teh Gay!! And the producer had to go and think about it and think about it and finally he was like, yeah, you're the guy we want anyway.

Now I can't remember if I read about this in The Advocate, or in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. How often do those two sources get confused??

What is even happening?

Yes. He played both Nate Saint (one of the missionaries who was killed) and Steve Saint (his son). Steve Saint says God appeared to him in a dream and essentially said something along the lines of I chose Chad for this project and you'd best support him, which I kind of love.

The lunch room microwave has begun communicating in whale song.

But was it gay whale song, is the question.

Loads of job-ma to Spidra. I know how much getting laid off suddenly sucks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That sucks, Spidra. I'm sorry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Spidra, I'm sorry. I know Wells is hiring right now for quite a few admin positions - I'll check them out for you.

Hey, The Hivemind, can you name any out, gay, male American actors under the age of 50?

Malcolm Gets, Alec Mapa, Mario Cantore, Christopher Seibert, and Bill Brochtup. Dan Butler just turned 51 a bit ago.

I think David Hyde-Pierce has been sort of an open secret for quite some time now. He's never made an announcement that I'm aware of, but he brings his partner to awards shows and such.

I have a vague recollection of David Sutcliffe having been out when he was primarily doing NYC theatre work, then popping back in the closet when he landed that ABC sitcom.
