Got Milk? Dustin Lance Black Does

I never knew writers could look this good!

Writer, Director, Producer and now Oscar winner, Dustin Lance Black collected a statue last night for his screenplay "Milk".

The 34 year old gay activist had a touching acceptance speech that made me fall for him even more.

"I heard the story of Harvey Milk and it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life openly as who I am, and that one day I could even fall in love and get married.

"I want to thank my mom, who has always loved me for who I am even when there was pressure not to.

"But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he would want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than by their churches or by the government or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value, and that no matter what anyone tells you God does love you and that very soon I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.

Thank you and thank you God for giving us Harvey Milk."

You can see more of Black's work on HBO where he writes and produces the hit show "Big Love"

Twinks Spotlight - Caleb Halstead

Caleb Halstead was born in Iowa in 1988.

In 2007, Halstead was discovered by IMG modeling agency.

Apparently, IMG staff members were so hot for him that they snapped Polaroids of him on the spot and sent them immediately to well known photographers.
