  • The Saint There Were Two Evil Brothers. They Were Rich, and Used Their
    The Saint There were two evil brothers. They were rich, and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church, and looked to be perfect Christians. Then, their pastor retired, and a new one was hired. Not only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but he also spoke well and true, and the church started to swell in numbers. A fund-raising campaign was started to build a new assembly. All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the new build ing. "I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint." The pastor gave his word, and deposited the check. The next day, at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family." After going on in this vein for a small time, he concluded with, "But, compared to his brother, he was a saint." 10 Reasons Why the Terrorists Weren't Greek 1. 6:45 am is too early for most Greeks to get up. 2.

  • Billy's World, Or Toying with Desire in the Gay 1990S
    Billy’s World, or Toying with Desire in the Gay 1990s Brian Eugenio Herrera Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/DRAM_a_00396 by guest on 01 October 2021 In early 1997, the Billy doll came out at the New York International Gift Fair. A 13-inch plastic “fashion doll,” the Billy doll was blond, blue-eyed, and built, with bulges of various kinds pressing at nearly every seam of each of his several carefully detailed outfits. The doll’s creator, John McKitterick, a British fashion designer, hoped Billy would be the “the first truly gay product” to be “successfully market[ed]” for “the mainstream resulting in further gay visibility.” But even with McKitterick’s bold ambitions and the doll’s $50.00 price tag, Billy’s most sizable attribute, heralded by the prominent “21 and over” sticker on the doll’s package, gave observers the greatest cause for pause. The Billy doll was, in dis- tributor Totem International’s careful phrasing, “anatomically complete,” making him not only the biggest boy on the boy-doll block but one with a mission statement to match: to “celebrate individuality, diversity, and at the same time getting a little bit of gay visibility onto the high street and into the media.”1 As McKitterick hoped, the novelty of an “explicitly” gay doll with a social message hooked media interest immediately. Under the headline “When G.I. Joe Just Won’t Do,” Newsweek ran a photo of Billy (captioned “Sorry, Barbie”) and opined, “There’ve been rumors about Ken for years, but Billy is being billed as the first openly gay doll” Newsweek( 1997).

  • NYPD Blue Gay Actor Bill Brochtrup Plays Gay
    www.ExpressGayNews.com • December 22, 2003 Q1 Q_COVERstory True NYPD Blue Gay Actor Bill Brochtrup Plays Gay Character on Primetime Series By Andy Zeffer Features Editor Long before Queer As Folk, Will & Grace or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hit television screens, there was John Irvin. Openly gay actor Bill Brochtrup has been playing the openly gay and extremely efficient character of John Irvin on NYPD Blue since the show’s second season. Brochtrup joins a select group of actors playing openly gay characters on a primetime television shows in the pre-Ellen era, before Ellen DeGeneres came out, opening the floodgate for more gay characters to be portrayed in front American television audiences. And with a show that appeals to a working-class, blue-collar audience, Brochtrup continues to break further ground in making gays and lesbians socially acceptable. “Clearly the visibility of people like Ellen and others have made it easier for people to come out and be accepted in the business,” Brochtrup says. “I think television is doing a great job of having a diverse amount of gay and lesbian characters.” So does Brochtrup include himself with Ellen as someone who has made gay photo courtesy of ABC characters more acceptable? “I’d like to think that,” Brochtrup says. Bill Brochtrup (center) with Charlotte Ross, Dennis Franz and Austin Majors in a scene from NYPD Blue “I also like to think that there are different starring kind of stuff, along with movies as well. One of the writers and producers, Brochtrup says it is his hope that more venues for gay characters.
