Nathan Lane's got a wicked sense of humor.

The gay actor appeared at this week's gala for The Trevor Project - a suicide hot line for gays - and joked that since gays have a pride, straights should, too. According to Gatecrasher, Lane quipped, "The grand marshal of the Straight Pride Parade - don't you think it's gotta be George Bush, in a tank top and cutoffs?" Barf.

Lane also joked that straight gals can "play a little touch football and then go home and have sex with a woman. I think that's saying it loud and proud." Speaking of loud and proud, Jodie Foster also made an appearance at the event.

She may not have been shouting from the rooftops, but the sorta closeted actress did donate $150,000 to the cause. Good for you, Foster. No doubt you'll garner more lesbian fans.

If you're gay and looking to chat about it, head on over to Ellen - Ellen Degeneres' eponymous chat fest seems to be the go-to show for gay actors looking to get something off their queer chests. Grey's Anatomy's TR Knight uses the lesbian comedienne's stage to address that Isaiah Washington stink and now out actor Nathan Lane's spilling the bent beans.

Our homo homeboys over at AfterElton inform us that Broadway and silver screen actor popped on over yesterday to yak about his coming out.

I was very young - I was living in New Jersey with my mother, but I was seeing someone in New York, and she thought it was a woman. And I finally broke it to her - I was around 21 and I finally sat her down, she was this little Irish Catholic lady from Jersey City - and so I said, "I know you think I'm seeing a girl, but I've been seeing a guy." And she said - the blood just drained from her face - and she said, "So you're a homosexual?" And I said, "Yeah, i guess so. Yeah, i guess so." And she said, "Oh, i would rather you were dead". [The audience gasps, Lane laughs] See, I always laugh, because I knew her better than they did (gestures to audience). Because you know, it was the worst, you know - so I said "I knew you'd understand," and once I got her head out of the oven she was fine.

Oh Nathan, you're such a cut-up.
