Obama: The First Gay President
It was the spring of 2007, back when Barack Obama’s bid for the presidency seemed quixotic at best. I’d seen Obama speak to a crowd and was impressed but wanted to see if what I’d seen from afar held up under closer scrutiny. So I asked to attend a private fundraiser in a tony apartment in Georgetown. I promised not to write anything. I just wanted to see the man up close and get a better sense of him and his character. At one point in the question-and-answer session, a woman looked him square in the eyes with what can only be called maternal grit. “My son is gay,” she said, and the room went suddenly quiet. “I don’t understand why you don’t support his right to marry the person he loves. It’s so disappointing to me.” Obama, without losing eye contact for a second, told her: “I want full equality for your son - all the rights and benefits that marriage brings. I really do. But the word ‘marriage’ stirs up so much religious feeling. I think civil unions are the way to go. As long as they are equal.”
My heart sank. Was this obviously humane African-American actually advocating a “separate but equal” solution - a form of marital segregation like the one that made his own parents’ marriage a felony in many states when he was born? The sudden equivocation made no sense - except as pure political calculation. And yet it also felt strained, as if he knew it didn’t quite fit. He wanted equality but not marriage - but you cannot have one without the other. On this issue, Obama’s excruciating nonposition was essentially “Yes we can’t.”
And yet somehow, simply by the way he answered that mother’s question, I didn’t believe it. I thought he was struggling between political calculation and his core belief in civil rights. And it was then that I realized he was both: a cold, steely, ruthless, calculating politician who nonetheless wanted to do the right thing in the end.
Last week he did it — in a move whose consequences are simply impossible to judge.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 2431 Newer› Newest»Have not you seen the video and the photos where Jake plays the trumpet in the tour of e M&sons? Doesn't you remember Nathalie Portman f that it said that Jake played the guitar? Or Buz L to say that Jake had a great voice.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is more than qualified for that role, have you seen with whom and as her .as worked and of who daughter is?
Have not you seen the video and the photos where Jake plays the trumpet in the tour of e M&sons? Doesn't you remember Nathalie Portman f that it said that Jake played the guitar?
That looked like a practical joke to me.
Jake playing guitar could be Jake playing 3 chords.
Don't recall Jake mentioning playing any instrument - except "plaing" harmonica for Ellen's birthday.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is more than qualified for that role, have you seen with whom and as her .as worked and of who daughter is?
One more time - having parents in some profession DOES NOT make you qualified for their profession, that's like saying that someone with 5 doctors in family is qualified to be a doctor without proper education and training.
No there is a video of the concert where Jake plays together with them, and Nathalie said this during the promotion of Brothers, There are also photos with him with the guitar in shoulder. and don't you remember that tweet that it said that to the marriage of Marcus and Carey after the ceremony had been alone Jake and the members of the band and they make a jem setion?
It is not like Charlotte it does a different job from that o fher parents and her knowledges in the field of the art they are certainly vast and deep than someone that maybe do her same work but doesn't have.that such parents. She has worked with Zeffirelli or Lars VT, and he chooses you only if you are worth, as he has done with Kiki or Nicole Kidman.

Bullshit.
Believe what you want, I'm Jake's fan for years and years and so far I didn't see any evidence that Jake can play any instrument.
Bullshit.
End of the discussion good evening.
Also I am fan of Jake from years and the evidence it is in the video where he plays with professionals. And if it is for this there are not evident proof that he make sex with other men, but this doesn't prevent you from believing that it is true. Occam razor
Yes 6:40 PM,
claiming that people are qualified for some job or are automatically artists because of their parents is nonsense. No idea why obvious truth like that offends you.
Also I am fan of Jake from years and the evidence it is in the video where he plays with professionals.
You are really naive if you believe that Jake can play trumpet :)
Also I am fan of Jake from years and the evidence it is in the video where he plays with professionals.
You either didn't watch that video of 20 people jumping around on the stage with 3 real trumpet players in the background, or you don't know anything about playing an instrument.
She said: “Jake is the kind of guy who can do a spot-on impression of someone you work with that will make you giggle. He knows home remedies for distressed hair. He can build a cabinet from scratch. HE PLAYS GUITAR and has a great voice. Kids and dogs love him. He loves his mom and sister and girlfriend. He's perfect. Too bad he's ugly." Kidding! Right?
http://www.zimbio.com/Jake+Gyllenhaal/articles/wTLrORVWjn8/Natalie+Portman+Says+Jake+Gyllenhaal+Perfect
A lot of people can play few simple chords on guitar. Jake mentioned his love for music more than once in interviews, I think he would mention playing guitar or whatever if there is something worth mentioning.
There is definitely some evidence to suggest that Jake can play the guitar. The Natalie P. quote is one + he jammed with Mumf&Sons at an after party:
“But the story gets better. After the bands’ sets ended around 1 a.m. and guests started making their way home, some 50 folks including the party host, the bands that performed, local pop success Mat Kearney and members of Old Crow Medicine Show settled into one of the upstairs bedrooms for an impromptu jam session that had Gyllenhaal picking up a guitar and showing off his skills as the room and Mulligan joined in for a sing-along of “Amazing Grace” and Old Crow’s “Wagon Wheel.””
(http://nashville.metromix.com/events/article/mumford-and-sons-play/2441905/content)
I doubt he would pick up the guitar and lead a sing-along in that kind of company if he didn’t know what he was doing. Obviously we don’t know how good he is - but probably he does have some musical talent (he was also in a band when younger), so claiming there is “no evidence of Jake playing any instruments” is simply false.
o please, there are a tide of tweets of people to the concert that have heard him play with their ears, but obviously they are all of the simpletons and you the only cunning.
@7:33 PM
HA HA! YOU ARE GREAT!!!!:)
“””o please, there are a tide of tweets of people to the concert that have heard him play with their ears, but obviously they are all of the simpletons and you the only cunning.”””
Jake didn’t play at the actual basement concert – it was at the after party (in case you didn’t read the text).
claiming there is “no evidence of Jake playing any instruments” is simply false
There is no evidence - those are just stories which could be false, and 3,5 seconds of video where Jake is "playing a trumpet".

LOL, stop lying, they saw Jake on the stage, they didn't hear him play. BTW, there is video and everyone can see real trumpet players in that video.

I know Jake play at one concert of Radio R tour and there era a lot of tweets about that night.
I'm not one to spread gossip but... I'm totally GONNA!
And how the heck does he know how long Jake is planning to be there for?!
Simple - Jake is waiting for someone who works in the restaurant.
Or perhaps he wants to entertain the clients playing the guitar!lol
Not just guitar - Jake will play guitar, trumpet, harmonica and drums (remember The Proof?) all at once! One man band!

Stupid trolly, you are an idiot :)
Glad SK has enabled moderation.
I totally get that!
Jake and Austin are finally in the same city at the same time and what they do?
They don't hide at all - fucking up OMG "arguments" about family closet.
Spending time with different people at different places x 2.
Doing everything to fuck up OMG theories!

So Jake did left New York on Saturday - and didn't give a shit about being with Austin!
Honestly, we cannot know it.
According to airport girl :
OH! And guess what the first thing I saw in NYC was? JAKE GYLLENHAAL! Totally passed him in LGA.
WHAT???!! JEALOUS!
I did a triple-take. I'm super positive it was him! If not, it was a super sexy look-alike.
Lucky you. I was at LGA today too, but I didn't see him =(.
Terminal A (I think) ust around 3:00. I almost made a fool of myself but decided to be all "oh, I see celebrities all the time"
Honestly, we cannot know it.
Know what? You think that Paul Gettlich is lying about filming?
No of course not, but we can't know if before back to Toronto Jake has seen Austin.
Do I need to spell it out?
Looks like I do.
I've said "didn't give a shit about being with Austin" = husbands with kids who can't be together every day would NOT spend their evening and Saturday morning with other people, they would use that time to be together and with kids.
According to airport girl
Time and date, please!
I don't feel like discussing and I don't sincerely believe in any marriage or children , but you have seen only a couple of photos, which means few instants of their forenoon as far as we know they would have been able to be together the whole rest of the time up to the Jake's departure.
And why no ? they are friends.
Huh???
I've just made super clear I was talking about "Jake+Austin+BTs" theories
+
I did NOT say "Jake hasn't seen Austin" in the first place.
Time and date, please!

I would not worry too much, the guy is a little melodramatic in his tweets.
OK, but if he's really working on Jake's movie that means that Jake did something bad during work and that doesn't sound like him ...

From what I have understood they have worked a lot of times, he says the whole night, and the scene seems difficult, (cars accident) I think that it is normal to get nervous, it doesn't justify a bad behavior however can be comprehensible. JMO
I guess we'll never know what happened or whether it was justified/understandable or not.
I think the guy has deleted the second tweet (or at least I couldn't see it right now). I wonder if he was asked to remove it or perhaps just got nervous from it being re-tweeted. Someone might be Mr. Unpopular on set tomorrow! He really shouldn't mess with JG at the moment - he Will argue; be rude (but cute); and possibly throw tantrums if you piss him off :)
Throw tantrum?
PAUL, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO VIDEOTAPE AND TWEET THAT! :)
Or maybe he deleted the tweet bcz has push a little too hard the BS.

This tweet was deleted.
Please note that he used just Jake's initials - Paul could be exaggerating, but I don't think he made it up.
Jake loves photographers as Paris Hilton the underwear!
LOL! If looks could kill!
All depends from how much he has exaggerated, and he seems a little exaggerator in to bring the facts, at least this it appears reading his tweets.
What I would love to know: did someone connected to the movie asked Paul to delete tweet after few Jake fans retweeted it / asked what happened?
Could be, or perhaps he has justr ealized to have exaggerated and that thing sure didn't help his job on the set, if it is also true that works there.
I'm not interested in his moral dilemmas - I'm curious if Jake's PG checks out Twitter.
LOL! OOOOOPS!
I'm not interested in his moral dilemmas - I'm curious if Jake's PR checks out Twitter.
6:47, you must have had diapers on your mind ;)
Ay!!! LOL
I'm curious if Jake's PR checks out Twitter.
I don't think so, every day, there are every kind of tweets about Jake, some quite a lot embarrassing, and nobody has ever intervened for cancel them,therefore I think that Paul has gotten whether to speak badly about the star of the movie where he works it is as minimum self-defeating, considering then, that he seems to have a big mouth, that surely has put him in troubles, he had tried to make up for to the damage IMO.
Sorry 7:24 AM, you are missing the point.
Jake's PR can't ask random people on Twitter to delete "bad" tweets about Jake, they can't do anything about that (without risking more PR damage).
But they can arrange that professional who works on Jake's movie deletes potentially problematic tweet.
I think that if Jake "the rich movie star" wants to cancel some tweets , also of random ppl, is able to do it $$$, he doesn't seem too interested in what people say about him,otherwise he would not go around as bum:) But everything is possible.
Oh God, Jake have seen a Hipster!

I think that if Jake "the rich movie star" wants to cancel some tweets , also of random ppl, is able to do it $$$
He can't do that because he would risk MUCH, MUCH bigger PG damage - not many read tweets about Jake, but many would read "Hollywood actor offers money to eliminate bad tweets" story.
he doesn't seem too interested in what people say about him
Not true - remember Grace Jones photo fiasco?
MUCH bigger PG damage!!!!
PG said: you are obsessed with OMG ! lol
Could be, but I believe that this things happens every day and the interested people prefers to take the sure money immediately, but as I have said everything is possible, we should have at least another testimony to be able to compare and to understand what has really happened .
Oh God, Jake have seen a Hipster!
LOL! Could of been PG streaking by with only diapers on (ewwwwww)
*double face-palm*
FUCK!
I wouldn’t be too surprised if the tweet is legit and someone connected to "An Enemy" asked paul gettlich to delete it. It’s not the first time Jake has disagreements on set. It happened when he filmed Jarhead with Peter and that other actor that refused to speak to him afterwards. With David Fincher also, and if those reports are true with Tobey Maguire on Brothers and David O Russell on Nailed too. According to Jake he didn’t get along that well with Heath either during the shoot for BBM. The PR people would probably want to keep this contained if true.
That photo was a forgery sold for true that ridiculed him, in that case he has done well to react.
OK, I admit, I'm obsessed with PG, I think about her day and night! LOL
That photo was a forgery sold for true that ridiculed him, in that case he has done well to react.
It was stupid reaction about ONE of many fake photos of Jake on the Internet - and PROOF that Jake cares about his public image and would like to control it.
I don't know , surely Jake is a person of temperament, but everybody knows that Rassel has a terrible character, that Jake didn't get along with Fincher but very with RDJ and also he has had problems with Fincher, contrarily of Ruffalo.Peter has become one of his/her best friends and his/her brother-in-law, Same thing for Heath, they has begun badly, but then they has become friends, and many his colleagues remain his friends, therefore I don't know well whether to think.
I think that he has done well to react, that photo was exaggerated and Jake's reaction proportionate to the exaggeration of the photo.In reality, considering everything of bad that ppl say of him, it seems quite a lot patient to me, but t perhaps arrives the day that also the more patient of the men get angry.
I wasn’t criticizing Jake. Maybe he had a bad day who knows. I’m just saying it’s not that hard to believe he might have lost his temper, then someone made sure the story wouldn’t spread.
*double face-palm*
lol! Like Macaulay Culkin !
wasn’t criticizing Jake. Maybe he had a bad day who knows. I’m just saying it’s not that hard to believe he might have lost his temper, then someone made sure the story wouldn’t spread.
Yes I also think that could have happened this, makes absolutely sense.

LOL! No, in that case the glasses would be broken! lol
I think that he has done well to react, that photo was exaggerated and Jake's reaction proportionate to the exaggeration of the photo.
What are you talking about? Jake was right to ask his attorneys to threat Web sites because men in that photo has ugly socks? What exactly is wrong with the photo in your opinion that? Why did Jake use his attorneys if photo is fake?
And let's not forget that some Web sites didn't take that photo down, that Jake's reaction draw attention to that photo and that people laughed at Jake because he was humorless asshole about it.
Jake should learn from George!
When Esquire discovers a Web site that calls Clooney "gay, gay, gay," the good-natured actor quips, "No, I'm gay, gay. The third gay – that was pushing it."
LOL! This is very funny :)
everybody know that the photo is a forgery
Fake photo? That is just your opinion, not fact.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if the tweet is legit and someone connected to "An Enemy" asked paul gettlich to delete it.
Me too, but not Jake's PR team, they seem useless.
Christian Bale was great on the MTV awards - I can't wait for TDKR. I think he's a sensitive guy. (((((((Christian))))))))
If he had a meltdown on set, or blew off some steam saying something he'd never actually do about an annoying fan, perhaps they deserved it. ;)
There is no IF about it - there is audio record. (link was posted here)
I love Christian Bale too:)and I like that he is a little "crazy" , perhaps it is a thing that belongs to the artists.
perhaps it is a thing that belongs to the artists
I totally agree!
I can't wait for TDKR - the MTV flim clip was incredible. Anne has her character down perfectly for those naysayers, and who wouldn't want to be interrogated by JGL ("I see you've made some mistakes, Ms. Kyle). The soundtrack is wonderful and it's going to be a perfect escape to Gotham in July. I know that The Avengers' good guys were a huge hit, but I'm gonna love the slightly tarnished good guys in TDKR. :)
TDKR Clip
<a href="
TDKR is going to be E-P-I-C to me, but I can't watch it without think of Heath :(
but I'm totally in love with the movie:)
I prefer not to be around people who can burst like that because I believe they are capable of being violent much more than "average" people.
It's healthy to express your negative feelings outright sometimes. I know our society likes to emotionally castrate us into happy-all-the-time zombies who are always reasonable and never get out of control, but these types are the ones you read about in the papers and there are these bizarre stuff, and witnesses always say "oh but he was such a nice, quiet and helpful boy who never bothered anyone." Obviously you can't have tantrums all the time, but once in awhile it might be a healthy thing.
Anne has her character down perfectly for those naysayers
Love Anne, but can't force myself to watch another superhero movie, I've watched TDK just for Heath.
Obviously you can't have tantrums all the time, but once in awhile it might be a healthy thing.
Depends on the tantrum.
I would hate to work with or around Christian Bale.
I'll think of Heath too - but I'm looking forward to that and TDKR. Christian really embodies Batman, even onstage at the awards, and I will miss that. Plus Gary, Tom Hardy, Anne, Joe. Tom's voice adds to it, if it's a little fuzzy at times, it makes you concentrate.
I prefer not to be around people who can burst like that because I believe they are capable of being violent much more than "average" people.
I imagine it is the price to pay for being so good in his own job. Certainly relatives and collaborators of Christian are dressed as the Baseball pitchers when they are with him.
However he is a magnificent actor.

ITA! Nowadays we are all too "held back", sometimes a release of anger makes us more human and free to me, without obviously hurting anybody :)
I think Christian has psychological problems.
Yes, Bale is a magnificent actor. He seemed very sensitive at the MTV awards, and Gary and Joe didn't seem too worried. ;) Gary is a magnificent actor too, and Joe is well on his way to being one.

Your comment has really impressed me! good stuff!:)
Who is Joe?
I can see that they could get so deeply into character it might carry over into scene breaks a little bit. And what about the love scenes carry over. Swoon.
Gary Oldman is THE BEST!!!
He is the more underestimated actor ever!
Obviously you can't have tantrums all the time, but once in awhile it might be a healthy thing.
I prefer being sane, lol!
tantrum - a fit of extreme rage, with eg shouting and stamping.
Director: Cut! Stop kissing!
Actors: We can't stop! :)
Thanks anon 10:35!
Who is Joe?
If he is not Joe Jonas don't bother me!
tantrum - a fit of extreme rage, with eg shouting and stamping.
rage - violent, explosive anger.
I don't see how tantrum could be good or acceptable behaviour for adults.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Joe.
Oh. Can't stand that little prick.
Well maybe tantrum was not the exactly correct choice of word - I'm just typing out quickly here. :)
Gary Oldman is THE BEST!!!
Yep, he's great.
:)You are welcome!
Tantrum might have connotations of more diva-ish behavior, what I mean is getting pissed (not drunk) to a high degree and expressing it! :)
How can Jake find the time for stupid Minka and not for Gary Oldman?
Of course I can't imagine what the poor guy did to be the object of such explosion. :)
Oh. Can't stand that little prick.
LOL, you are bad! Joseph is great and sexy in his own particulary way!
I have to say I'm going to TDKR to see Anne as Selina Kyle well as for enjoying a third Nolan Bat-verse. I'm curious to see hers and Nolan's image of a female superhero who's part realistic but still in the fantasy realm (you gotta have stilettos - Bale can use them instead of a screwdriver to the eye), and who's a powerful woman character without being a clone of the male superheros!
Joseph is great and sexy in his own particulary way!
Yes he is, very much so.
*maybe with bag on his head... nah, wouldn't help*
Jake, is that you? :)
I know PG hates this place but she has to admit we have the best comedians. I'm still laughing about the tall blond creamer joke. And the guy in a Elivra wig throwing Ninja stars at Reese Witherspoon when Reeke were together.

I love Ann but I would have preferred Keyra Knightley as Catwomn.
Yes, she would have been great too.
Certainly that to look at the cast of Batman has to be desolating for Jake, there are everybody except him :(
I think Enemy is going to be good tho. It has an edgyness to it.
Hans Zimmer has done it again too - that little bit of the soundtrack that has the swirly/edgy spookiness to it is now in my brain for the day. Can't wait!

Yes for the first time after so much time The Enemy is a film of Jake that I want to see.
Sorce Code too.
