Modern Family
If you haven’t watched or heard about it, you really don’t know what your missing. The ABC show “Modern Family” had more than a few people falling over laughing, and that was only during the season premier. The hilarious comedy features Ed O’Neill (best known as AL from “Married With Children”) as the aging father to two middle-aged children and their families (one straight family with kids and one gay couple who adopt a baby girl). Creative plots and the neverending attempt to adjust to each others ways of life, Modern Family is a major hit – and definitely worth watching each and every episode.
Pro Bowl Comes to South Florida, Possibly Kindling Gay Affair
South Florida will host the NFL’s Pro Bowl in 2010 and may also become home of the Gay Games. Somehow, inexplicably, these two stories haven’t been linked by other media outlets. But it’s clear to see that the Pro Bowl could stand as the championship game in a week of Gay Games activities, where the, I don’t know, gayest football players get to go on to play in the Pro Bowl. While I’m dreaming here, I’ll even add a sponsor to help this happen: The gayest players get to play in the Gay Games Pro Bowl brought to you by The Cabanas Gay Guesthouse and Spa.

Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild
By Wesley Morris
Globe Staff / September 19, 2008
In “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild,” the abs come in packs of six, eight, and 12; the sex could put your eye out; and the venereal crabs – I can’t stress this enough – have their own animated musical number.
Todd Stephens’s film is a follow-up to his “Another Gay Movie,” but neither is really needed to spoof gay movies, since the average gay movie is pathologically predisposed to do that for itself.
This time four friends (our heroes) are whisked from California to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for spring break, where they enter a Gays Gone Wild contest. The winner is the spring breaker who has the most sex. (I don’t remember the words “college” or “student” being used; and most of the men here look old enough to be, um, professors.)
What drops out of this flaming piñata of a plot? A bewigged, oversassed RuPaul; Krazy Glue swapped for lubricant; one gaggle of simpering prisses called the Jaspers; a merman; a Cuban virgin; drag superstar Lady Bunny armed with a Super Soaker; and some accidental incest. There’s an epic vomit sequence, a funny joke about Asbury Park (one about gentrification, silly), and an occasional emotional breakthrough (“As much as a slut as I may actually be, you’re the first guy I ever kissed”). And there are frequent mentions of gay websites (sponsors?).
The Larry Kramers in the house will want to condemn this farce as a sign of apolitical ignorance. The impulse is understandable. In that spirit, Perez Hilton, the gossip blogger, has been hired to play himself under a religious spell, denouncing the slatternly and the bad name they give the gays. He’s hardly Larry Kramer, but the moralizing here is a joke too.
Stephens’s movie is lewd and cheap and suffers from multiple-personality disorder (part soft-porno, part sitcom, part Hallmark card). But the relentlessness and lack of inhibition are sub-John Waters funny – and a corrective to the gay suffering and homophobia in other movies. There are no closets and no shame here, even if some blinds would be welcome.
