A new Angus Reid public opinion poll suggest that Canadians and Britons are more inclined to support the legal recognition of same sex couples that their American counterparts. The online survey polled 1,003 Canadian adults, 1,002 American adults, and 1,980 British adults and revealed that 61-percent of Canadians want same sex marriage to continue to remain legal in the country. 41-percent of Britons support legalizing same sex marriage, while 36-percent of Americans favour legalizing gay marriage. The survey asked respondents to pretend they were voting in a referendum to define marriage, and 54-percent of Americans voted to define marriage as that existing only between one man and one woman, with 36-percent voting to define marriage as a union between two people. The poll also asked respondents about their expectations on an eventual Supreme Court ruling on Proposition 8 and the constitutional validity of California’s gay marriage ban. 47-percent expect the Supreme Court to continue to define marriage federally as a union between one man and one woman. Of those polled, 59-percent of Canadians contend homosexuality is innate, while 44-percent of Americans believe it to be a choice.

Elton John continues to straddle the fence between ignorance and irrelevance, telling an audience in Tucson, Arizona Thursday he had no regard for an artist’s boycott of the state over the horrifically racist SB 1070 immigration bill. “We are all very pleased to be playing in Arizona,” said John. “I have read that some of the artist won’t come here. They are fuckwits! Let’s face it: I still play in California, and as a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever. So what’s the fuck up with these people?”

Movieline magazine reports that after Glee creator Ryan Murphy announced at Comic-Con in San Diego that the Fox hit will be addressing the first ever Prom King and King relationship on television, the show cast Kurt Hummel’s first boyfriend, and he is the deeply delicious Chord Overstreet, of iCarly, cast as “Sam, a McKinley high school athlete who starts off as Finn’s protégé but becomes his competition.”

Enrique Iglesias says that only thing stopping him from a naked water ski around the Biscayne Bay in Florida is some overdue grooming. “I need to get my Brazilian wax before I do it,” said Iglesias to People magazine, who made a bet that if his beloved Spain won the World Cup, he would strip and ski.
