Matt Damon was a major Obama supporter in 2008, but has expressed his disappointment with the President over the last year. Still, he voted for him. 
“I assume there will be some Supreme Court appointments in this next term; that alone was reason to vote for him. I don’t think I said anything a lot of people weren’t thinking. It’s easier now more than ever in my life to feel the fix is in, the game is rigged and no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn’t matter.”
Not that the writing wasn't on the wall, but NBC has officially passed on Mockingbird Lane.
Is anyone else surprised that the most pirated movie of 2012 was teen party movie Project X?
I really encourage you to go read a straight actor's (reluctant) confession that he's still uncomfortable playing a gay man, a realization he came to while auditioning for a commercial for Logo, our parent company. It's incredibly honest and thoughtful.
Matt Doyle is one of the sweetest (and hottest) guys on Broadway, so I think it's wonderful that he had such a great 2012. “I had a lot of highlights this year! Meeting and falling in love with my boyfriend was a major highlight for me. Writing and releasing my second EP was incredible, as well. And of course, joining The Book of Mormon as Elder Price has been particularly amazing. It has been a really wonderful year. ”
Fontella Bass, singer of the 1965 hit "Rescue Me"has passed away. While I was raised on Motown, it still struck me that as soon as I saw the title, the song popped into my head, though I didn't know until that moment who sang it.
The Log Cabin Republicanstook out a full page ad in theNew York Times questioning the sincerity of possible Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel's apology concerning Ambassador Hormel, in addition to his stances on Israel and Iran. While I also question the sincerity of the apology, I frequently find myself questioning the sincerity of the Log Cabin Republicans.

On paper, it's stunning that Apple CEO Tim Cooktook a nearly 99% pay cut to just over $4 million this year, until you understand that last year he made nearly $378 million if you included his restricted stock options he received when he was named to the top post. Is this because I've passed on the iPhone 5 upgrade?
Take a read at the NSFW account of a gay male escort's strangest encounter.
Scientists are having some success using MDMA to treat severe PTSD. It's not even an ongoing treatment, just three doses are necessary to alleviate the symptoms long term. Does this mean there's a chance of medical grade ecstasy coming back on the market?
The Baltimore Ravens Brendan Ayanbadejoestimates that maybe 3% of the NFL players are gay. That adds up to about 51 players. He also thinks the first player to come out publicly will be able to cash in big. " But I think the first person who comes out and says they are gay, everyone is going to write a book and do stories about them. They’re going to make a lot more money by saying they’re gay than by not saying they’re gay. But are we ready to hear that? Is that person going to be comfortable to do that? I don’t think 
they are right now because of society and the way things are."
The Ernest Hemingway Museum on Key West is occupied by 44 cats who have roamed freely until now (a terrifying thought). Now a judge has confirmed a ruling that the property must now be considered an animal exhibitor, which basically means it has to provide veterinary care for the animals just like a zoo.
During an interview with anti-gay pastor Rick Warren, Piers Morganproposed that the Bible be amended to allow for gay rights. Pastor Warren didn't like the idea. “Uh, no. Not a chance. What I believe is flawed is human opinion, because it constantly changes.”

You can now get Warehouse 13 casts of Pete and Claudia. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed you can't play dress up with Pete
Rod 2.0 has some details on new web series Freefall, built around the lives of roommates Xavier, Trent and Cameron. The first episode starts off a bit slow (and extremely NSFW), but the second and the third episodes build nicely.
The news is a constant source of pain and drama most of the time, but then at certain magical moments, you can find something (frequently a mistake) that makes you laugh out loud. These are the best bloopers from the news in 2012.
Nasty Pig, purveyor of streetwear to porn stars and the men who love them, have started putting out videos called #iamNASTYPIG with different hot guys in their clothes. One was already pulled by YouTube for being too hot, but this one with Mark brings just enough heat. One day, three years of gym time from now, I hope to be able to put on something from Nasty Pig and not feel ridiculous.
It's cold here at the branch office of AfterElton.com, but nothing compared to the -41 in this video from Russia. Boiling water tossed off a seventh story balcony instantly turns to snow, which might be useful for a ski resort, but who wants to ski anywhere that it's -41?
I remain fascinated by Warm Bodies, the zombie pic with Nicholas Hoult, who wants nothing more than to not be a zombie. I don't see any way that this movie can actually be a box office hit, but it's something I really want to see, as the warped humor really resonates with me. These are the first four minutes of the movie so you can see why I it's not your typical zombie movie.
As Liz Strangepointed out in the comments to yesterday's Meme, Dan Feuerriegel, the actor playing Agron in Spartacus: War of the Damned, has a video up talking about the character's future, both in the army, and in his relationship. I sort of love how it's discussed, because never once is it called a gay relationship, but just a relationship like any other on the show.
