Straight Shooter


Marriage Equality, once an issue politicians used and abused, has finally moved to something only the ignorant amongst them has not smartly gotten behind. For many it was easy, for some, it was a gay friend or family member that inspired them to finally speak out.


As much as supporting marriage equality is a 'duh' for me, I am gay. I understand that for many, there is a normality about not being passionate about things that don't directly effect you. There are many injustices in the world and we can't all, gay or straight march in every parade. That is why it can sometimes be so moving to see someone not gay, be so open and supportive of the rights of others.


When we were first introduced to Emmett on Big Brother Canada, his back story included being the person his younger brother first came out to. Within the house, Emmett has not so much shown a passion for gay rights, but in some ways, his behavior is much more powerful. To Emmett, it simply just doesn't matter. His interactions with Gary, painting his nails or doing his eye make-up, are unique because of how simple, unimportant and natural they are. Emmett is not perfect, but he is a breath of fresh air for reality television.

Big Brother Canada has had a couple (maybe a few) gay men in the house, but unlike other reality shows, who still use someones sexuality as some sort of plot point, on this show, to Emmett, to most who watch, it beautifully means very little.

Hump Slump


Over the last couple of months life has become so busy that the only time I have for FH is usually on the weekends. I try to do enough posts to ensure the blog is still produces new material every 2 or 3 days, but from Tuesday through Thursday there remained a bit of a slump.

Spring Cleaning: by Manuscript Photography

I know many groan with repeats, but I have decided to begin a 'best of' series featuring the artists who have contributed over the years. The blog is in it's 6th year now, so there is much from the past that many have not seen. I will try to also add new material with the 'best of' series and look for it starting next Wednesday!

If you have a favorite photographer you would like included, just shoot me an e-mail and check out the list of artists who have contributed to FH the past few years, in the post below!
