Anti-Gay T-Shirt Madness!

Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

"No More Gay Roles," Sez Darryl Stephens
Heading For Hetero Ground

shockedstephens.jpg
Darryl Stephens became a homo household name for his titular role on Logo's groundbreaking and canceled slapstick sudster, Noah's Arc. His effortless performance on the series - as well as his appearance in a number of other gay media, including the recently released Boy Culture - led many to assume Stephens's is gay. In a recent interview with South Africa's Mamba Online, however, Stephens again refuses to divulge the truth:

I feel that in Los Angeles – in the industry – people can sometimes get caught up in the personal lives of actors. You can see it on a large scale with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It becomes an ordeal to me. People want to make such a big deal about what people are doing in their personal lives... I don’t feel that people have seen me play enough characters. I think that if people feel too invested in my personal life they’ll lose sight of my capacity to grow and surprise them with new roles.
Wait, did he just compare himself to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Wow.

As a part of his efforts to break away from the gays, Stephens says he's calling it quits on the queer characters, "I have actually put a moratorium on gay roles for the time being..." Don't worry, though, he says that if Logo does move ahead with the rumored Ark movie, he'll still sign up: "Noah is a great character for me. A lot of people relate to him – he’s a gift. I won’t give up playing this character."

Darryl Stephens Loves His Job

Darryl Stephen shirtless

We only wish that there was a Darryl Stephens for every Tom Cruise in Hollywood. Stephens is out of the closet and seems to be everywhere at once: in gay television on the Logo original series Noah's Arc, and now as the star of two new films. Not Quite Right, his latest, premiered last Saturday at the NewFest in New York, and Boy Culture, based on the novel by Matthew Rettenmund, is currently in theaters.

For those who only know and love Darryl from Noah's Arc, his role in Boy Culture is quite a departure, and this is what you can expect:

Noah's Arc fans will probably be a little shocked. This character isn't campy or soft or fashionable at all. He's quiet, introspective and kind of simple. Noah is almost a gay superhero next to this guy.

Our pal Rod sat down and talked with Darryl about his career and the responsibility of being the star of the world's first black, gay television series. Read the whole interview at Rod 2.0.
