Another Wonderful Brad

I know I have seem Brad Rowe in a couple of movies earlier, but I didn't really see him until I watched a movie with him on YouTube this past weekend. Brad is totally hot with a beautiful face,  the sexiest legs you can imagine and he is a great actor too!

The movie I saw was "Shelter", directed and written by Jonah Markowitz. I saw the version with Vietnamese subtitles as the original version had been blocked for copyright reasons. In spite of that, I was soon so moved and caught up by the beautiful story that I forgot my irritation with the subtitles.

In the film Brad Rowe plays the older brother of the best friend to Zach, the younger man who is the main character. Zach (played by Trevor Wright) finds comfort in surfing with Shaun (played by Brad Rowe) when his college dreams are sidelined by family obligations. The two men's friendship soon grows into love and we follow how Zach struggles  to accept that he is gay and the love they have for each other.

Its a wonderful movie with all it's Hollywood sleekness and glossiness.

What amazed me the most was that I had never heard of the film before, which perhaps is a sign of how out of touch I have been during the last few years. I urge you to see it if you can if you haven't done so already! And if you should have seen, why not watch it again?

Brad Rowe

Brad Rowe is straight and married and has a son. (Why are all the good men always either straight or taken or both, huh?).

Brad is however an outspoken straight ally. Well, he would be of course otherwise he would never had accepted the role in Shelter.

Now I am going to have to buy the DVD, because I will want to watch this movie over and over again.

Just Because...

Today I received two pictures from my friend Blanche Argus. She wishes to support the NOH8 Campaign. The pictures don't include the essential duct tape and cheek painting.so I had to inform her she could pick up those props at Kahvy Sands venue Big Momma´s Ballroom free of charge.

As I loved the pictures Blanche sent me, I have however decided to post one of them anyway, just because I can and want to. This is what a supporter of the NOH8 Avatars Campaign looks like!

I am hoping that I will receive the lovely Blanche´s official contribution to NOH8 Avatars soon!

More On NOH8

My dear friend Blanche Argus, with the blog Blanche´s Arena, asks what the NOH8 Campaign is all about. I am grateful to Blanche for asking the question outright because it gives me the opportunity to explain.

The video above should answer some of her, and others, questions but I will nonetheless say a few things more.

The campaign first started out as a grassroot reaction when Proposition 8 was passed into law by a ballot measure in California, U.S.A. The proposition added an amendment to the California Constitution whereby "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.". Same-sex marriages were thus effectively outlawed in California. The NOH8 Campaign has since developed into a silent photographic protest against homophobia and discriminatory legislation all over the world.

An infamous Swedish Internet-troll in a comment to Blanche´s post makes the interpretation that the campaign suggests that we shut down communication by covering our mouths with duct tape. I am guessing she must´ve failed miserably in the courses on "investigative journalism".

Contrary to the troll´s  stupid assumption, the symbolism of the manifestation should of course - as most reasonable people will understand - rather be interpreted as "you may try to shut us up but be will not be silenced". The campaign makes use of the well known adage that "a picture is worth more than a thousand words" which refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image.
