Be Touched By Them!
Celebs To Love
They’re out there to entertain us! The fashion model who show-cases the latest season’s hottest trends, the singer with the A-chart hits, the actor with the sexy camouflages, the actress with the Oscar winning attitude… But beneath that entertaining luxurious lifestyles lays a warmer heart that speaks to a cause, a cause that speaks to us more heartedly. Magazines and lifestyle media continuously report on their styles to love, décors to copy, beauty tips to consider… But here, they all have one thing they accentuate, the gays! They love the gays, and therefore we love them back, care to know how cute they are? Be touched…
Lara Stone
Who would’ve thought that the world would fall head over heels for Lara Stone? Better yet, why the gays? Something about Lara: she’s the new change for curvy models, the bleached-brows trend setter, the gaped teeth beauty marked, and the Bridget Bardot girl of the 21st century. But what else?
She’s giving the gays something else to love about her… How much freely does she express herself? Lara has confessed to the November issue of British Vogue (<pic, left) just how much:
- At the time of their marriage, Stone and Williams both expressed a desire for a family. Do we hear the pitter-patter of tiny model feet? “Not yet,” she says, “But I would love to have children some day. I’d like to have little gay boys. That would be good. I’m terrified of having a little girl. Girls are more evil than boys. And then they have boyfriends.” She corrects herself. “Off course, I’d be happy to have a girl.”- Vogue UK November 2010.

Colin Farrell
It was rumored that Colin helped his brother choose a diamond and sapphire-studded ring for his boyfriend announced website Pink News few years ago. Word of the engagement spread back in 2008, that Collin Farrel’s brother Eamon, who is openly gay, has decided to make an honest man out of his long-time boyfriend Steven Mannion. And that Colin will be heading down the aisle… as his brother’s best man.
Eamon is a dance instructor and his (Now) husband is an artist. Colin and older bro Eamon are reportedly very close, even owning homes just down the street from each other in Dublin.
The Hollywood star’s brother Eamon Farrell, who married his partner (in July 2009, and after postponing the wedding few times earlier due to the couple’s busy schedules) Steven Mannion in Canada-Vancouver and became Mr. and Mr.! The wedding was restricted on both of the couple, making it legal without any fanfare, or any family members on hand. “We told our immediate families, including Colin, and they thought it was a great, romantic idea," Eamon told the Sunday World. "The vows were the exact same as wedding vows taken in a ceremony in Dublin, except you change a few hers and shes for hims and his!". The couple didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, they expressed that even earlier saying: ‘We definitely won’t be doing a magazine deal. Are you kidding?’ he shrieked. ‘Oh my God, I’d be mortified. Colin is famous, I’m not.’
This is the first gay wedding in his Irish family, but professional choreographer Eamon has expressed dismay at being unable to marry few years ago in his home country saying: ‘We have to get married abroad. It’s absolutely terrible. We have to go somewhere legal, which narrows it down to about five countries.’

Anne Hathaway
Who doesn’t love her really? The Princess Diaries got us all day dreaming, Bride Wars was such a flick we all watched with our hags! But when coming to gays, Anne couldn’t be less supportive. Hathaway was raised as a Catholic with what she considered "really strong values," and has stated she wanted to be a nun during her childhood. However, at the age of 15, she decided not to become a nun after learning that her brother Michael was gay. She told the British GQ magazine (March 2010), that despite her Catholic upbringing, she felt she could not be a part of a religion that condemned her brother's sexual orientation:
-Anne Hathaway’s family left the Catholic Church because of its intolerance of homosexuality. Anne grew up wanting to become a nun but shunned Catholicism when she learned her older brother, Michael, was gay. “The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out,” she told British GQ. “Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?” -
Anything else to know and love about Anne? She was thrilled when her older brother Michael married his long-term partner Josh in New York. She says, "At one point, he and his husband were standing up there, and my mom got up to sing. She was just beaming straight love into them, and everyone felt it, and it was just this really beautiful moment." She’s already planning the songs she wants to play at her own wedding after watching her gay brother marry his BF in such a “magical event” As she described it.

Ana Matronic
SCISSOR SISTERS, the gayest pop band ever existed with their 80s-disco like tunes and their outrageously popular songs are hardly missed, has one lucky charm among the singing queens! Singer Ana Matronic, who’s also identified as bisexual, is convinced she's a gay man hidden in a woman's body - thanks to being brought up by a homosexual father. She tells Attitude magazine, "I do have the chromosomes of a gay man. It's intrinsic. Having my father in my life I was exposed to a gay sensibility at a very early age. It's something I've always been around. And I think in many ways I don't fit into the traditional ideal of femininity."
When she was three her parents split up and she learned at age six that her father was gay. As a teen her father died of AIDS which encourages her activism today with an organization that support the families and children of people living with HIV and AIDS.
Discovering her dad was gay at the age of three has had a profound effect on her own love life. Ana - who saw dad Robert died of Aids when she was just 16 - said: “My father being gay has definitely influenced my relationships with men. It's absolutely affected the type of guy I go for. My boyfriend, Seth is the gayest straight man on the planet. I'm very into honesty in relationship and I demand a great deal of emotional reinforcement - I like to be told 'I love you' a lot.”
And her father's difficulties in coming to terms with his sexuality have encouraged Ana to be a much more understanding person. She added: “I feel like I didn't know him as a person. My father was a very emotionally closed person who never spoke about his sexuality. He lived in denial about who he truly was for a long time.”
Initially Ana found it difficult to deal with her father's lifestyle and the reactions of those around her made things even harder. “Sometimes I would be honest about who my dad was but I discovered very quickly that people can be a lot more conservative than you think,” she said. “They didn't understand. People said stuff like 'I hear your dad's a faggot.' Not for a moment was I ashamed of him though.” Over time, Ana came to terms with her father's situation and her family now deals with their grief by laughing about it. She said: “Grief is not something to be put in a box on the shelf. It should be dealt with in a very open way. We did that. Now we joke about the painful things, it makes it easier. I ask my mum: 'How did you not know he was gay?' 'Dad was a fantastic interior decorator and the only band he liked was the Village People... so the signs were there!'”
