Valentine's Day

It falls on the same day, every year...but for some, every 'special day' comes with many different surprises.




BUT WAIT! Where there is Love, there is controversy...


So it's been reported that several Gay entertainment websites are buzzing over the exclusion of a gay pairing in the trailer of the upcoming feature film Valentine's Day.

The romantic comedy, set for a February 12 nationwide release, pairs five couples as they celebrate Valentine's Day in Los Angeles.

Included in the mix is Bradley Cooper, whose gay character is reportedly in love with a closeted football player, performed by Eric Dane, 'Doctor McSteamy' from ABC's Grey's Anatomy(A series I adore till this day).

But the movie's trailer released Monday omits the film's inclusion of a gay storyline.




“Is it really impossible to market an ensemble romantic comedy to the masses with a gay couple in it?,” Ed Kennedy wrote at AfterElton.com, a website devoted to male gay entertainment. “Could that really be considered a bad marketing move in Hollywood now?”

Kennedy compared the film's marketing to that of A Single Man, whose director, Tom Ford, and star, Colin Firth, have called a “universal” film, not a gay film.

“First, a gay director [Tom Ford] takes a movie about a gay man based on a book by a gay man [Christopher Isherwood] and degays the marketing for that movie, and now this?”

HMMM....What do we think???
