Bryan’s Proud of Discreet Gay Sex Workers: That’s Gay Extra

Posted on June 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In honor of LGBT Pride month, Bryan Safi honors gay sex workers and their grace under fire. Unlike their straight counterparts — whose reactions to the world's oldest scandal is to head straight for the media and a book deal — the escorts implicated in recent gay scandals are downright close-mouthed. Every day this week, infoMania's Bryan Safi, host of “That's Gay,” will release an exclusive web extra about some of the reasons he's so proud to be gay. Then tune into Current TV on Thursday at 10/9c for Bryan's special infoMania segment about Gay Pride — or, as he likes to call it, Gay New Year. It's time to take a long, hard look at the last 12 months and ask ourselves: Just what are we so proud of? infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media.
