h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've got a name....

Sir Witi Ihimaera. (Maori author, of "Whale Rider" fame)

How about famous furries? (Practically all furries are gay or bi, y'see)

James McGreever, the former govenor of New Jersey who had to resign after admitting to a series of homosexual affairs

Got three good new ones. Louis Walsh (XFactor, Pop Idol - all that cr*p) makes sense, all the boybands he's formed, Kirsty Allsop, presenter of Location, Location, Location and Claire Balding, former sportswoman (was it equestrianism? I don't really know) and presenter of Grandstand

I know the source of those, Iago, and I believe he's fairly accurate - I think they'll all go in without too much trouble!

Is it our mutual friend from the Manchester LGBT?

That'd be him - and not only a mutual friend but an ex-co-chair (if it is that guy with the name)!

It is indeed. I was quite chuffed with seeing that and glad that I beat you to it

Although I got Alan Hollingshurst *long* before he won the Booker Prize this year, so !

Emperor Hadrian (he of the wall)
Tsar Alexander II (reigned during, and defeated, Napoleon's invasion of Russia)
May have already been mentioned but.. Alan Turing, philosopher, computer pioneer and very early gay rights activist here in Manchester

Dallas Roberts, actor who plays Colin Farrell's best friend/lover in A Home At The End Of The World

Iago, I think that was Alexander I, not II.

Portia DeRossi (not sure of the spelling) - From Ally McBeal. And her girlfriend, um, Ringo's daughter. *sound of Beatle card spontaneously combusting* G would know her name.

From the buffyverse, aren't Lorne and Andrew queer? Have they gone already, if they are?

N

Donald Rumsfelds daughter? Name and/or confirmation anyone?

Harvey Milk, can't see him on the list.

Diverging from the game momentarily, if anyone wants to debate/discuss I've started a thread: F1763164?thread=530527&post=6130017#p6130017

Hopefully I'll be adding more discussion topics and games soon.

I mentioned Andrew a while ago. Don't watch Angel so I didn't think of Lorne. I think it was Alexander the 2nd, but I might be wrong. I still get the point though

Certainly Dick Cheney's daughter. There was a lot of contoversy about this at election time.

Anyone know her actual name, though? (BTW, I believe her father is actually a supporter of gay marriage/civil unions - how much influence he'll have on Dubya is dubious, though. )

Apparently her name is Mary.

Did I get the wrong politician again? Don't mind me... Taxi for Mr. Stunt!

Here's an interesting one for you (and a chance to revive this game a bit) ...

Andrew Hayden-Smith (formerly Ben of 'Byker Grove', now a CBBC presenter)

I dunno how long he's been publicly out for, although it's only in February's Attitude that he's done the "coming out" interview.
