This is outrageous!

Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black was banned from speaking at Hope College in Michigan after the administration deemed him too "opinionated."

The openly gay Black is in the area filming What's Wrong with Virginia and was originally invited to take part in two separate events on campus including speaking to a screenwriting class and taking place in roundtable discussion about sexuality.

Both sound very beneficial to students and more than appropriate to us in a setting of higher education!

But the Dean of Students Richard Frost disagrees saying that "from past experience, strongly-opinionated speakers usually don’t further academic discussions about gay, lesbian or transgender issues."

That makes absolutely NO sense!

Students are understandably upset at their decision as Black, an ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING SCREENWRITER, would be an invaluable educational resource!

An angry student writes:

"Students on both sides of the homosexuality culture war are outraged that their college's administration doesn't think they're mature enough to discuss important issues on campus respectfully, or even sanely. Doesn't our school have a Communications department? And what kind of spineless nitwits do Hope's donors want the college to produce? Homosexuality isn't going away. The pissed-off and hurt students aren't going away. The Administration is censoring academic discussion of one of the great social issues of our time. Sounds like the dark ages to me."

The dark ages is right!

Hope College is affiliated with Reform Church of America, which in 2005 approved a recommendation "to immediately begin an honest and intentional denomination-wide dialogue on homosexuality."

This blatant censorship certainly doesn't sound like an "honest and intentional" dialogue to us!

More like NO dialogue at all!

Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has slapped the website responsible for leaking the bareback pHOtos of Black and his partner (at the time) all over the internet!

Starzlife.com is at the receiving end of the suit, with Black's legal team hoping to hault all distribution of the pics as well as requesting a massive $3 mil from the site!!

Damn!

The lawsuit claims the Milk screenwriter had no idea the pictures were being taken by his partner, Jeff Delancy.

Dustin's lawyers are hoping to make their case in front of a jury, but the suit will most likely end up being settled for some major $$$$$ because Black's legal team may or may not have some very incriminating evidence against the site.

DLB's people may have even hired a PI to pose as a buyer and propositioned Starzlife for the sale of the pics!

Thoughts????

Doing good and looking good!

The stars came out in droves to support the Trevor Project at their annual summer gala in New York City on Monday night.

The Trevor Project focuses on "crisis and suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth."

Those in attendance included Jewel, Lance Bass, Cheyenne Jackson, Dustin Lance Black, Meghan McCain, Mark Consuelos, Caroline Rhea, and Carson Kressley.

The Trevor Project is also the only organization in the US that operates a "nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth."

More fallout for Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black!

The man who was seen topping the screenwriter bareback in a series of sex pictures has been identified as a porn star. According to a new report, Black's hookup partner is named Jeff DeLancy, who also goes by the name "Cameron".

Click here to view more pictures of DeLancy.

Jeff, who hails from Orange County, California, has been a student at Arizona State University. And, though he hooks up with men, he "claims" to be straight.

For the last few years DeLancy has run the jerk-off cam site FratBoyCam.com from his dorm room. Since the Lance scandal broke, though, Jeff's site has been offline.

DeLancy is remaining quiet about the situation, but a source close to him "insists that he was not the one who sold the video to Starzlife, who released the stills on Friday and apparently is trying to sell the full sex tape."

Then who sold it??????

Apparently, Jeff is soooooo "traumatized" by the whole scandal that he's fled the country for a week.

Unfortunately for Black, this may not be the last of the scandal that we hear of.

There are loud rumblings that more information from the night of the bareback sex tape session with gigolo DeLancy may be released soon. And, there is still that black cloud hovering of the video and its possible release or leaking.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk) gave a very powerful speech at an event for gay youth in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The Oscar-winner says:

"It is unfortunate that individuals and other outside parties are trying to profit from material which is clearly private. I have had the privilege to speak to people across the country, both gay and straight, on a number of critical issues including safe sex. More important than the embarrassment of this incident is the misleading message these images send. I apologize and cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsible sexual practices."

And there you have it.

P.S. We'll say it again, no matter WHO you are, do NOT take naked pictures of yourself or make a sex tape. It WILL get out there, even if you're not famous now and never think you will be. They will get out there and everyone at your work, in your team, in your dorm will find out.

So unless you really wanna share, don't do it!

This is cold!

Someone intimately close to Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black sold him out to photo agency Starzlife.

Pics of the Oscar winner are now for sale, which show him naked, performing oral sex and getting fucked bareback.

AND, we're told the photo agency also has video!!!!

People, people, people. How many times do we have to say it?

NEVER make a sex tape, unless you're ready for it to leak! Cuz it will happen.

Maybe Lance is cool with this getting out there????

Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is trying his hand at directing!

The Oscar-winning screenwriter will make his directing debut in What's Wrong With Virginia, starring Liam Neeson and Jennifer Connelly.

Exciting!

The film, also written by Black, is the story of "a psychologically disturbed mother (Connelly) who has been entangled in a 20-year secret love affair with a highly visible Mormon sheriff (Neeson), who is running for a state senate seat."

We smell another Oscar!

Milk director Gus Van Sant has signed on to executive produce the picture, which begins filming in Michigan this summer.
