Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic If they ever make a sequel to “The Celluloid Closet” — the landmark doc about the history of LGBT representation on screen — Lukas Gage should warrant at least two mentions. First, there’s the scene from the first season of “White Lotus” where Jake Lacy barges into the resort manager’s office, only to find Gage getting his salad tossed (a history-making moment for gay TV fans). And now there’s “Down Low,” an over-the-top, bottom-trawling comedy that wants to be for the gay community what “The Hangover” was to the mainstream — which is to say, wildly irreverent and incredibly wrong. Starring openly gay “Heroes” villain Zachary Quinto as Gary, a recently divorced, richie-rich zaddy hoping for a happy ending, “Down Low” doesn’t quite understand its own title — code within the Black and Latino community for men who consider themselves straight while having sex with other men — but that’s OK. “Down Low” is still light-years ahead of mainstream movies (including last year’s “Bros”) as debuting feature director Rightor Doyle delivers what an entire contingent of queer audiences have been asking for all their lives: namely, a comedy that’s as raunchy and inappropriate as the jokes they make between themselves. While nowhere near as extreme (or enjoyable) as 2009’s “I Love You Phillip Morris,” it’s still a rare enough occurrence to earn a dedicated following.

In Love and Warcraft, Madhuri Shekar was heralded as one of today’s fastest-rising and most prolific American playwrights.Since that 2014 debut and its focus on video games and gamer culture, Shekar has also earned praise for her mastery at tackling intricate and distinct genres, as varied as science and science fiction, and historical drama and horror.Shekar is at it again, this time with a contemporary American dramedy, or what Olney Theatre characterizes as “firmly in the mold of the great American kitchen sink dramas, leavened by a good dose of comedy.”A Nice Indian Boy is a story about Naveen Gavaskar, a Marathi-speaking Hindu boy, meeting the boy of his dreams — another Hindu boy, Keshav, who loves the same Bollywood films and can cook a mean dal makhani.It’s a match made in heaven that might even curry favor with his tradition-minded parents. Except, that is, for one small detail: Keshav was raised in an immersive and culturally rich Indian household by the Indian foster parents who adopted him, yet he himself is white.Still, the two are madly in love and ready to announce that to the world, starting with Naveen’s parents and the Gavaskar family.

Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles made a joke about taking her virginity live on air. It's a moment that hasn't aged well. And now, 21 years later, speaking to Kathy Burke in her new two-part series Kathy Burke: Growing Up that aired on Channel 4 this week, Charlotte addressed the comment with hindsight.

Charlotte Church has spoken out about an alleged proposition by Chris Moyles to take her virginity when she turned 16.In 2002, Moyles, who was then presenting BBC Radio 1’s drive-time show, offered to take the singer’s virginity, saying that he wanted to “lead her through the forest of sexuality now she had reached 16”, according to The Guardian.Speaking in a new Channel 4 series, Kathy Burke: Growing Up, which is due to air tonight (March 8), Church was asked by Burke: “Is that when it started to get dark? When you were basically reaching puberty? That’s when they started to write about you differently?”“Yeah, there was just this sort of shift where I became fair game,” she replied.As part of the show, a TV clip obtained by Metro.co.uk, from years later is aired from the singer’s Channel 4 programme The Charlotte Church Show, where Moyles tells Church: “You were gonna be 16, and I offered to take your virginity.”The Broadcasting Standards Commission said that the “explicit sexual content and humour had exceeded acceptable boundaries for the time of transmission” following his original comment in 2002, reports The Independent.But according to Church, the upfront misogyny of the times was less worrying than the more internet-enabled misogyny that flourishes today.“It wasn’t good, but at least it was out in the open. That lads, lads, lads culture was dominant.
