The Golden Globes were about as gay as an awards ceremony can get Sunday night, with plenty of queer winners across the TV and film categories.
The Kids Are All Right, lesbian director Lisa Cholodenko’s family portrait of two gay women, won best picture/comedy or musical and best actress/comedy for Annette Bening. The Cher-sung song “You Haven’t Heard the Last of Me” from Burlesque, won best song. Scott Rudin, the gay producer whom screenwriter Aaron Sorkin declared the greatest living producer of film, won best picture/drama for The Social Network.
But TV was where the gays really succeeded. Glee, from gay creator Ryan Murphy, won best TV comedy series, as well as best supporting performers for the of the openly gay cast members, Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch. Lynch thanked her wife and kids, and Colfer, visibly surprised, gave a shout-out to fighting anti-gay bullying. Best actor in a TV comedy went to gay actor Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory, who mentioned his husband Todd without referring to him as his life partner.

Dont follow this sort of thing. But its so important to have great role models for gay kids to prevent suicides and give the kids hope.
And when people who the public at large “worship” are openly gay, it helps to inoculate them against the hate spewed, often in the name of love, by corrupt churches.
Its inIMHO more important then marriage – when you break the back of the closet, and inoculate people against hatred, marriage equality will come quickly.
Although both have gay fans and support gay equal rights Cher and Annette Bening are neither queer or gay as the article implies.
