Jonathan Groff and Gavin Creel: Broadway's New Gay Power Couple?

If you believe what you read in Page Six:

"Jonathan Groff, who was nominated for a Tony for his work in 'Spring Awakening,' has been dating 'Hair' star Gavin Creel, a source tells Page Six.

Ex-Husband of Comedian Matt Lucas Takes His Own Life

Kevin McGee (right), the former husband of Little Britain star Matt Lucas, reportedly hanged himself in his flat in Edinburgh after leaving a status update suicide note on Facebook that read, "Kevin McGee believes death is much better than life." He was found by police.

The Daily Mail reports: "McGee, a TV producer, is thought to have become deeply depressed over the past few months after breaking up with the comedian...Matt Lucas, 34, was said to be 'utterly destroyed' by the news and was being comforted by close friend and comedy partner David Walliams at his home in Marylebone, London. He was too devastated to comment last night and did not attend an awards ceremony where he and Walliams were due to make a guest appearance. He also pulled out of last night's performance of the West End play Prick Up Your Ears in which he is starring."

Lucas and McGee wed in a star-studded civil partnership ceremony in December 2006 and divorced in June 2008, in what was said to be the most high-profile divorce since same-sex civil partnerships began in the UK.

University of North Texas: No Gay Couples on Homecoming Court

A proposal to allow same-sex couples on the school's Homecoming Court has been shot down by the governing student body at the University of North Texas, the Dallas News reports:

"Five of the senators at the meeting voted Thursday to amend the Student Government Association’s bylaws, 10 voted against and eight abstained. Jason Howeth, a junior who represents the College of Music, said he voted against the proposal because of opposition from parents who threatened to remove their children from the school and alumni who said they would withdraw their financial support. He also said that the current student regulations do not prohibit homosexuals from running for a homecoming court position. Current student regulations state that the homecoming couple comprises a man and a woman."

NYT: Gay Couples Pay Steep Price for Inequality Over a Lifetime

It took two months and the simulation of more than 900 tax returns (see methodology here) for Tara Siegel Bernard and Ron Lieber to crunch the numbers for an article in the NYT which calculates the extra expenses a hypothetical same-sex couple would face over the course of a lifetime compared with their hypothetical heterosexual counterparts.

"Our goal was to create a hypothetical gay couple whose situation would be similar to a heterosexual couple’s. So we gave the couple two children and assumed that one partner would stay home for five years to take care of them. We also considered the taxes in the three states that have the highest estimated gay populations — New York, California and Florida. We gave our couple an income of $140,000, which is about the average income in those three states for unmarried same-sex partners who are college-educated, 30 to 40 years old and raising children under the age of 18. Here is what we came up with. In our worst case, the couple’s lifetime cost of being gay was $467,562. But the number fell to $41,196 in the best case for a couple with significantly better health insurance, plus lower taxes and other costs."

Also: "Nearly all the extra costs that gay couples face would be erased if the federal government legalized same-sex marriage. "
