The publisher of the Advocate and Out magazines–Here Media–has sent a letter threatening legal action to a former employee of its skin magazines for making negative comments about the company on his Facebook page.

Dueling stories about up and coming actor Ben Whishaw are out in Out and New York this week, with different takes on the actor’s ambiguous sexuality. New York‘s headline dubs Whishaw and his co-star, the married Hugh Dancy, “Heterosexual Actors,” while Out implies something else altogether. Does Out, a gay publication, instill gayness in their subjects, no matter what? And does New York‘s “innocent until proven gay” approach show that mainstream publications still dub actors “straight” until an actor has explicitly stated his homosexuality?
