Indian film talkshow The Front Row with Anupama Chopra discusses alternative sexuality in Bollywood this week.

Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival director Sridhar Rangayan, openly gay filmmaker Onir, director Karan Johar and actors Randeep Hooda and Saqib Saleem were guests on the show, broadcasting tonight at 8.30pm.

The guests discuss the recently released Bombay Talkies, an anthology of four short films including one, directed by Johar about a gay relationship.

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman is set to play anti-gay rights activist Anita Bryant in a biopic.

Bryant was a 70’s singer, beauty queen and celebrity spokesperson for orange juice. She was named Good Housekeeping’s ‘Most Admired Woman in America’ three years in a row.

In 1997, Bryant’s celebrity career collapsed when her anti-gay activist past was revealed. The mother from Florida successfully campaigned to stop gays from teaching or adopting a child in the state.

Bret Easton Ellis is becoming almost as well known for his controversial Twitter rants as for being the author of such works as American Psycho and The Rules of Attraction.

One of those rants - about being 'disinvited' to the GLAAD Media Awards - has the media monitoring organization accusing Ellis of creating a 'publicity stunt.'

Indian film director Onir said he would be 'very disappointed' if fellow film-maker Tigmanshu Dhulia goes ahead with his version of Hamlet.

Onir announced three years ago that he plans to make an Indian film version of Hamlet called Vedaa, and he is upset Dhulia is going ahead with his own version.

'As a colleague and a fellow-filmmaker I’d at least expect him to speak to me about it,' said Onir, DNA India reports.

Dame Helen Mirren has apologized for telling off a troupe of gay drummers while she was dressed as the Queen.

She has also decided to offer a further olive branch by promoting their music festival for them.

The British actress, who was performing as Queen Elizabeth II at the time in The Audience, stormed out of the Gielgud theater in London at the weekend to tell the drumming crew outside to ‘Shut the fuck up’.

But now, Mirren has worn a top with a handwritten message promoting As One In The Park, a gay music festival planned for 26 May.

The affection Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have for each other is apparent in interviews the Star Trek leading men have done for Out Magazine published Monday (6 May).

Pine, who plays Spock in the franchise, says he knew Quinto (Mr. Spock) was gay from the moment he met him.

The legendary Liza Minnelli has thrown her support behind marriage equality in California.

The Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Grammy award-winning Hollywood legend unveiled her portrait for the NOH8 campaign.

The photo-series created by Adam Bouska promotes gender and marriage equality through portraits of people with their mouths taped shut and NOH8 painted on their faces.

In addition to her portrait, Minnelli had a loving message for the LGBT community: ‘Here’s what I believe … no shame, no blame, no guilt.'

The message ‘Some people are gay. Get over it!’ has been plastered over buses and worn on t-shirts. And now it has been translated into Klingon.

To celebrate the London premiere of the new Star Trek film Into Darkness, British gay charity Stonewall has boldly gone where no gay rights message has gone before with the translation of their iconic slogan.

In Earth text, the Klingon reads as: ‘Rut nga’chuq loDpu’, rut nga’chuq be’pu’. YiqimHa’!’

Just three days after receiving the Advocate for Change prize at the GLAAD Media Award in Los Angeles, Bill Clinton turned up in New York to introduce the film Bridegroom at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The former president, close friends with the film's director Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, spoke highly of the documentary that shines a light on how a lack of marital rights can compound the grief of a surviving spouse when the other one dies.

German film director Roland Emmerich is going to work on a new movie on the Stonewall’s riots of 1969.

The author of 2012, Stargate and The Day After Tomorrow will spend about $14 million (€11 million) to film the story of a gay homeless teen who comes to New York and joins the Stonewall’s community.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.

Gay Russian film fans are defying thugs and politicians to host the Side by Side LGBT Film Festival in Moscow.

The festival will screen 17 films from tomorrow (18 April) until 21 April.

Last April, when Side by Side made its debut in Moscow 1,200 people attended.

They were picketed by Orthodox Christian activists wearing t-shirts with the slogan ‘Orthodoxy or death’ and shouting ‘Perverts get out of Russia.’

Police protected the festival-goers however – and they are hoping that will continue this year.

Indian filmmaker Onir had been planning a protest against public broadcaster Prasar Bharati for refusing to show his film I Am (which features a gay storyline) despite it winning a National Award.

Now Prasar Bharati (India's BBC) has announced it will show all National Award winning films in full at the 10pm slot.

Onir sent a petition to the director general of Prasar Bharati, Tripurari Sharan, and had been planning a protest against the censorship on 3 May.
