The Oscars Cut the Gay Stuff! But Now it's Back!

Categories: film, gaaaaayyyyyy

It was a lovely moment on the Oscars—a/k/a the Gay Super Bowl—when No Country for Old Men producer Scott Rudin thanked his lover John Barlow (from the Broadway p.r. company Barlow Hartman) and referred to him as "honey." Well, honey, in the official transcript of the speech, that part was mysteriously left out! They didn't even make Rudin straight—they turned him into some kind of bizarre neuter without any human feeling (which they'd already tried to do by not cutting to a reaction shot of a beaming Barlow)! Well, thanks to some prodding by goodasyou.org, the axed comments were restored to the transcript, and we can all sleep much easier now. Of course we'll never know if the omission was done out of ignorance, hatred, ineptitude, or (let's be generous) a broken keyboard.

In this week's Voice:
La Dolce Musto, "Ellen Page's Sexuality! Jennifer Garner's Hairdo!"

The Oscars love censorship. Remember the booing for Michael Moore?

That great. They looked gay to me. LOL
I love the fact that you call as you see it.

Why that kind of stuff continues amazes me.

When I heard Scott mention his partner, I was really touched.

And then I read about the "gay cleansing" of the transcript.

Glad someone at the Academy came to their senses.

Such utter nonsense.

Mega hairy muscle hugs of thanks for clarifying this item.

The woman who pointed out she's straight still had me guessing. To point out that she's hetero, she said she's married, well, it could be to a woman?
