Brian Moylan · 11/15/11 11:02AM

This Real Housewife talks about sex but won't say she's gay. The actors and directors on this gay-themed film won't talk about their love lives. This bi actress is getting back with her girlfriend, and this actor is banging a chick on set. Finally, some straight people in Hollywood!

Richard Rushfield · 10/29/09 12:04PM
