<i>#weekinLGBT</i> with Rob Smith: The 'Ex-Gay' Video, LGBT Veterans, and Rose McGowan
On this episode of #weekinLGBT, I take on that crazy “ex-gay” video, give a salute to three special LGBT veterans, and give a “special comment” on Rose McGowan’s anti-gay comments.

Rob Smith is an author, journalist, and openly gay Iraq war veteran. Closets, Combat and Coming Out is available now on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com and wherever LGBT and progressive books are sold. For more on Rob, visit him at his personal website and on Twitter @robsmithonline.

PHOTOS: These Old Models Breathe New Life Into Some Of Our Favorite Film Classics

We’ve been covering a lot of calendars here lately. There’s the hipster anti-hunks, the oddly sexy orthodox priests, sizzling gingers and of course the naked Warwick rowers. But we may have just found our new favorite.

A retirement community in Germany has released a calendar where seniors recreate famous movie scenes. And it is just as adorable as it sounds.

Here are the months that stood out to us, reminding us simultaneously that we love cinema and our grandmothers:

Cabaret
Martha Bajohr, 77

She got a better review than Emma Stone.

Giant
Joanna Trachenberg, 81, und Horst Krischat, 78

enhanced-buzz-2791-1390427194-19

I was like, James Dean, for sure.

The Seven Year Itch
Ingeborg Giolbass, 84, und Erich Endlein, 88

Still has legs for days, and those smiles make us all warm and gooey inside.

Titanic
Erna Rütt, 86, und Alfred Kelbch, 81

After the shoot they did a little figure drawing.

Mary Poppins
Erna Schenk, 78
enhanced-buzz-6119-1390427191-18

She may be 78 but don’t you dare take away the keys to Erna’s umbrella.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Marianne Brunsbach, 86

enhanced-buzz-8772-1390427188-5

Holly Golightly has desert after breakfast.

Dirty Dancing
Johann Liedtke, 92 und Marianne Pape, 79

enhanced-buzz-8024-1390427195-11

They finally mastered that lift.

Michael Sam might be currently looking for another opportunity to prove he can play in the NFL after being released from the Dallas Cowboys’s practice squad last month. But the 2013 SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and former All-American at the University of Missouri has nonetheless nabbed another huge honor: being named one of GQ’s Men of the Year for 2014.

Sam’s interview with the magazine will be rolled out later this week. In the meantime, the athlete tweeted an image of his cover shot:

A big thank you to @GQMagazine for including me among their #GQMOTY – I’m beyond honored to share their company!! pic.twitter.com/nw0gVXhYlb

Sam, who became the first openly gay player to be drafted by the NFL last spring, graces one of six GQ covers released as part of the Men of the Year rollout. The 24-year-old shares the honor with “Guardians of the Galaxy” hunk Chris Pratt, Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley of “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Foxcatcher” star Steve Carell, among others.

Way to go, Sam!
