TV shows with gay characters could lose Florida tax credits
A new bill being considered for Florida could mean that television shows or films with gay characters within them that are shot in the state could miss out on vital tax credits because they are not deemed “family friendly”.
Current state law grants tax credits on productions considered “family friendly” - with no smoking, sex, nudity or profane language.
The proposal by Republican Rep. Stephen Precourt of Orlando would expand the field of disqualified productions as those that include any “exhibit or implied act” of nontraditional family values and gratuitous violence.
Stephen Precourt told the Palm Beach Post that shows with gay characters were not “the kind of thing I’d say that we want to invest public dollars in”.

Taylor Swift’s ’You Belong With Me’ (The Gay Version)

A group of students from the University of Rochester (New York) made a gay version of Taylor Swift’s music video You Belong With Me. The video is starring Matt Francis (the jock) and Michael Pittman.

You might want to watch the original video first, if you haven’t seen it.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were move same-sex couples in in mainstream media?

This is so awesome. University of Rochester is 5 minutes down the street from me! :)

That’s so weird. I love this video and the U of R is like fifteen minutes down 490 for me. Is danlev someone that I know?

Ummm weird! I go to RIT! Interesting. (And this is weird to try to have a conversation like this… lol)

Pedigree Dogs Ad Shot at 1000 FPS

this is one of my new favorite things, ever.

This is awesome. Also awesome: when I see two friends from completely different social circles reblogging each other. How the hell do you two know each other, or is it just hyper gaydar?

Interesting! I’d like to know too! Jordan—how do we know each other!? LOL.
