Eric lives for all things hockey.  Now in his thirties, he’s managed to turn his stint as an ex-Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator for sports TV.  He’s living the dream! He and his partner Sam, a lawyer,  live discreetly on a tree-lined street in Toronto.  But all their tranquillity is disrupted when they receive news that Sam’s brother Billy’s ex-girlfriend has died, leaving custody of her son Scot  to Billy.  But adventure-seeking Billy is somewhere in South America, and that leaves Scot without a guardian. Much to Eric’s disapproval, Sam agrees to take Scot in. Enter Scot, budding queen of an 11 year old, who is Eric’s mirror opposite. Dressed in vibrant colours, his mother’s charm bracelet and with a penchant for musicals and Christmas carols, he’s not quite the ‘boy’ they expected.  Their household is thrown into confusion as Eric and Sam try to deal with the realities and expectations of their flamboyant charge and realize that he is much more ‘gay’ than they are. Each deals with his own issues while observing the behavior of a kid being joyously and unashamedly himself…

Bravely challenging hockey’s false and dated notion of masculinity, Breakfast With Scot is the first gay film to carry the public sanction of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the support of the National Hockey League. These bold actions deserve applause because the film is noble and well intentioned. It’s also bland and unadventurous, without much style or originality. But the smart performances, humorous dialogue and brisk pacing of Laurie Lynd’s direction are all warm and friendly. Breakfast With Scot ends up being a feel-good movie about how, in the dawn of a new day, it’s finally O.K. to be whoever you want to be. – New York Observer


Was tun, wenn unerwartet ein Waisenjunge vor der Tür eines perfekt angepassten Schwulenpaares steht und dessen Leben völlig auf den Kopf stellt? Ex-Hockeyspieler und Sportmoderator Ed und sein Partner Sam, ein erfolgreicher Unternehmensanwalt, leben seit vier Jahren zusammen und legen Wert darauf, Beruf und Privatleben strikt getrennt zu halten. Ein Kind war definitiv nie geplant. Schon gar nicht eines wie der 11-jährige Scot, um den sich Ed nach dem Tod von dessen Mutter vorläufig kümmern soll. Der Junge hat nämlich eine singende Haarbürste, einen rosa Gürtel und Söckchen mit Spitzensaum im Gepäck und steht auf Musicals! Die Bemühungen der unfreiwilligen Väter, Scot seine parfümierten Handcremes und pastellfarbenen Schals auszureden und stattdessen seine Begeisterung für Eishockey zu wecken, entpuppen sich schnell als Versuch, das eigene Unwohlsein angesichts "zu schriller" Selbstdarstellung zu verdrängen. Wer ist hier ehrlicher mit sich selbst – der kleine Scot, der sich seines Andersseins keineswegs schämt oder zwei erwachsene schwule Männer, die sich nur hinter der Fassade eines konservativen Männerbildes sicher fühlen?

         

Eine ganze Armada namhafter kanadischer Schauspieler bevölkert Frühstück mit Scot, aber Star der Show ist Noah Bernett als Scot, der mit großen Augen zuschaut, wie seine neuen Pflegeeltern versuchen, den Erwartungen ihres Umfelds zu entsprechen. Die Feelgood-Comedy des Jahres war der ungeschlagene Publikumsliebling auf dem Filmfestival in Toronto und dem VERZAUBERT Filmfestival.

Die Deutsche DVD erscheint am 27. November – etwa bei GayBooks.de

I’ll be honest with you: I can’t stand casting shows. I can’t stand TV at all. I don’t even have one. But I got a lot of mails recently about a guy in one of the “Idol” oder “Superstar” shows and I have to admit: A few of them a bloody cute ;) So let’s get straight to the point here. I picked a few boys out of the thousands of videos at YouTube and I want you to decide who is the best, the cutest, the Milk Star 2008 ;o)

Watch the videos and cast your vote below. The poll is open ‘till Halloween. Have fun!

…containing gay porn!

A lazy drive home from a weekend auto show turned into a stomach-churning experience at the Canada-US border for an Ottawa couple. It was a sunny Monday afternoon, Jun 16. Rick Frenette and his partner Shawn were returning from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, snaking through the Eastern US to the border at the Thousand Islands, near Kingston. Both avid car buffs, they were towing their latest project, a vintage Bricklin, home. But a problem with the car’s paperwork led Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) officers to pull the pair in for an extra inspection. "We didn’t think there would be anything other than the normal questions, but there was," Rick says. "They went through our entire truck. They did not go through our toiletries, which we were surprised about, but they opened up the laptop, and I guess one of the icons said ‘porn’ on it."
