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...

Nathan Gunn has appeared in many of the world’s most prestigious opera houses. But even without that big talent we'd still take notice. Just look at that chest.
[Read On ...]
Queerty is trying to puzzle out this question: on which side of the aisle does Newsday music critic Justin Davidson sit? Ripping into the premiere of Tobias Picker’s An American Tragedy as if he were Sha-Boom-Boom and it were Hedda Lettuce, Davidson misaligned the new opera as a “flaccid melodrama.” Was he mixing it up with what happened to him in bed afterwards? Most other critics have greater praise for the score.
Davidson went on to say something that makes you think “No, he can’t possibly be gay;” namely, he said he thought the thing should only be half as long as it is. Then again, evaluating baritone Nathan Gunn, who sang the lead role of Clyde, Davidson claimed that he has “the finest legs in opera.” What is Renee Fleming; chopped foie gras?
Writing in the New York Times, Pulitzer-Prize winning critic Anthony Tommasini . . . proudly on our side of the aisle, and a far more incisive reviewer than Davidson, had many more favorable comments to make on An American Tragedy, yet refrained from mentioning Nathan Gunn’s legs. If your legs can’t get you to the Met to see Picker’s piece live, remember that the broadcast will take place on the afternoon of December 24.
Operatic dreamboat Nathan Gunn will be starring as Clyde Griffiths in the December 2 premiere of Tobias Picker’s An American Tragedy at the Metropolitan Opera House. Its libretto based on Theodore Dreiser’s classic novel, An American Tragedy relates the tale of Clyde, involved with Sondra and Roberta, but truly enamored of Sondra. Roberta becomes pregnant; Clyde plots her murder and is eventually sent to the electric chair for her death.
Baritone Nathan Gunn set tongues to wagging when he appeared as the protagonist of Benjamin Britten’s opera Billy Budd. Based on Herman Melville’s novella, the story has homosexual undertones stronger than Kona coffee. Gunn played most of the role shirtless, his chiseled pecs detracting not one iota from his magnificent vocal performance. If you can scare up a DVD of him in the role, you will be well rewarded.
Tobias Picker is one of the nation’s foremost composers; discreet about his sexuality, his sexuality nonetheless is. So if we’re asking anybody to come out, we’re asking you to come out and support this new work, An American Tragedy. For those unable to make the Met Opera debut, the Saturday matinee will be broadcast live on December 24.
