Church Of England Again Rejects Promotion Of Openly Gay Priest, Profiling Gay Icon Aaron Schock, The Gay Best Friend Flap, Arthur Sales Smoulders, River Viiperi Sucks Popsicle In Speedos, Ed Westwick Seduces You, Aaron Renfree Surf Stud, Jonathan Lipnicki Grows Into A Hairy Hottie

Despite overtures that the Church of England would consider elevating an openly gay, but celibate priest to that of bishop, the Commission Wednesday again rejected Dr. Jeffrey John. As previously posted, seven years ago John withdrew from an appointment as an assistant bishop over reaction to his homosexuality by Church hierarchy and the congregation. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams had indicated that despite a stance opposed to the election of openly gay clergy he would support John’s nomination. However, the conservative Anglican Commission again refused to expand its narrow limits and adopt a posture that welcomed acceptance and inclusivity.

Aaron Schock is the 29 year old Republican Congressman from Illinois whose attire at a White House picnic in June launched him into the preppy Hall of Fame pantheon, is profiled by the New York Times, and while the sexy Schock is an obvious gay icon, he denies – again – being gay, the Times reporting that he is “single and opposed to gay marriage, and he has told reporters he is not gay,” as well as mentioning a former, yet unnamed girlfriend, a refrain that sounds so familiar somehow.

Is a GBF – gay best friend – the must have accessory of the season? Teen Vogue weighs in as only Teen Vogue can.

Arthur Sales stars in a Vanity Teen editorial for underwear, Sales silly sexy in various styles, all thankfully form fitting.

The ridiculously sexy River Viiperi stars alongside Roger Frampton, Ryan Mertz, and Eric, in a campy salute to summer celebrated by donning colourful Speedos and sucking on popsicles, all of which is gayer and sexier than it sounds.

Ed Westwick in Paris, France, natch, spotted filming for the new season of Gossip Girl, looking decidedly dashing, natch.

Former S Club 8 star Aaron Renfree is all grown up – all of him.

So is Jerry McGuire co-star cutie Jonathan Lipnicki, who can be seen, by the way, alongside Chris Pine in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum production of The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
