lee_loni | Happy Friday! GLAAD Award Pics & Memorable Leeloni Interview (Reply)

CLASSIC LEELONI LOVE.

Behind the cut are classic Leeloni pics from the 2000 GLAAD awards and excerpts from a 2003 interview where Chris & Lee spoke openly about the filming of the Beecher/Keller scenes on OZ and sexuality.

Most have probably seen these, but they *never* get old.

*ENJOY*

ARTICLE EXCERPTS

FONTANA ON THE GLAAD KISS:

"It made perfect sense to me that they would kiss," proffers series creator Tom Fontana. "Here are these two happily married guys kissing at the gay awards and letting it be photographed because their attitude is, `If people don't understand, fuck `em.' Those guys in particular have been incredibly ballsy in doing anything I asked them to do."

MELONI & TERGESEN ON B/K SCENES:

In fact, Meloni and Tergesen have had to push for even more explicitly gay content. While shooting a scene that ended with a show of affection, the director of that episode grew uncomfortable, calling "Cut!" early and giggling. "Finally we were like, `Hey, can you just let it run for a minute?' which they always do on these scenes," Tergesen recalls. "And the director goes, `Why, are you going to blow him?' The truth was, a real moment was happening."

"And you called him out," Meloni recalls proudly. "Lee goes, `Look, just because you're uncomfortable with the sexuality going on here doesn't mean you have to rain on our fucking parade.'"

(EDIT)

For their part, Meloni and Tergesen are sad their sentence together has finally ended. Or has it? "It's sad, but I'm excited," says Tergesen, sighing. "I am going to miss working with Chris. He and I went to see Tool on Halloween night. We just went out as ourselves, which I guess you can interpret however you like."
