MTV has put together a collection of videos with reactions to Tyler Clementi's death.

Clementi killed himself by leaping off the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 22. He had become extremely distraught after learning that his dorm roommate had secretly recorded him making out with another man and broadcasted it over the Internet without his consent or knowledge. The incident apparently outed Clementi.

Actors, politicians and students weighed in on the incident.

Lance Bass admits to being a bully and teasing other kids in order to hide his own sexuality:

MOVIE REVIEW with VIDEO: Got to “Get Low” with Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek

Chris Lombardi - Women's Voices for Change
October 2nd, 2010

As impossible as it is to imagine, Robert Duvall outdoes himself as an actor and a model of restraint in "Get Low."

Inevitably, comparisons to his Oscar-winning starring role in Tender Mercies and even his young turn as Boo Radley in the film version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" will be made. But there is nothing about this performance that could have happened without the seasoning of the years that the 79-year-old Duvall brings to his role as Felix Bush, a tortured man who chooses four decades of self-exile in restitution for the mysterious event that blazes at the film’s start.

October 1st, 2010

SAN DIEGO -- Great stagecraft, direction and acting can go a long way toward making an inferior script watchable.

Case in point: Bob Glaudini’s 2007 “Jack Goes Boating,” in its regional premiere through Oct. 7 at ion theatre.

Glaudini, something of a local legend, spent five years here, first as the driving force behind Actor’s Quarter Theatre (in the basement of midtown hotel) and later as founder of Theatre Five in Pacific Beach.

VIDEO: When a kiss isn't just a kiss - Gay couple on "Modern Family" finally get their moment

Matt Kane - GLAAD's Entertainment Media Manager
October 1st, 2010

With a whole lot of buildup, but a distinct lack of fanfare around the actual moment, fans of ABC’s "Modern Family" finally watched Mitchell and Cam share a kiss; more than a year after the comedy’s debut.

The Emmy Award-winning series sparked controversy in its first season, after a scene showing the gay couple hugging while a straight couple kissed in the same shot inadvertently highlighted a contradiction in the way it depicted physically affection between its main characters.
