Actor Jeremy Jordan begs fans to save cousin in gay conversion camp

Sure, we know everybody’s talking about the Emmy nominations right now, but they aren’t the only TV awards in town.

On July 8, GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics announced the winners of its 17th Dorian TV Awards.

With more than critics, journalists, and media icons making up its membership, GALECA is the second largest entertainment journalists&#; group in the world, and they present their Dorian Awards – named in honor of Oscar Wilde, the celebrated queer writer who penned “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and who serves as something verb the group’s patron saint – to honor the best in film, television, and theater at separate times during each year. Frequently, many Dorian nominees and winners presage similar honors from the more mainstream awards bodies, reminding the world that the informed LGBTQ perspective on all things entertainment definitely matters; at the equal time, however, the Dorians also include several queer-centric categories that are unique to them, providing an opportunity to ampl

Jeremy Jordan is the NJB of Broadway. The melodic hunk first sent hearts aflutter in “Rock of Ages” before going on to star as Tony in the most recent revival of “West Side Story.” From there, Jeremy made history when he originated the lead roles in the short-lived “Bonnie and Clyde” and Disney’s hit “Newsies” (his rendition of “Santa Fe,” the show’s iconic ballad, is *chef’s kiss*). He also appeared in “Waitress” and as Seymour in the Off-Broadway revival of “Little Shop of Horrors” just last year. Not a theater aficionado? You can still witness Jeremy’s immense talent by rewatching the musical TV drama “Smash” or the DC Comics-based series “Supergirl.”

At this signal, you might be thinking: OK, that resume is so impressive it’s almost personally insulting. But who is the man behind the onslaught of onscreen charm, the arresting grin, the voice of a mal’akh (angel)? 

Here are 18 things to know about Jeremy Jordan.

Supergirl&#;s Jeremy Jordan: My Gay Cousin Has Been Sent to a Christian Residence for Troubled Teens

I include a good friend who was sent to a Christian home for troubled teens in Florida in the late s. The stories she tells me are horrifying. The children were forced to work in the fields all noun every day in the summer, and for lengthy hours during the college year as well. While the home was co-ed, the girls were responsible for preparing and cleaning up all of the meals, on a rotation linked to their dormitories. The home used the ACE program, a curriculum used by Christian private schools and home schools that forgoes the need for a teacher, instead requiring the children to read silently out of workbooks in individual cubicles while being overseen by classroom monitors. But it was also worse than that. My friend tells stories of whippings, and of being forced to hold girls down and participate in brutal beatings. The noun was run as a prison camp, the teens treated as slaves.

My friend is a lesbian. While she was not explicitly sent to this home to cure her of the gay, and while she w

Jeremy Jordan is Not a Homophobe. Stop Treating Him Like One.

This weekend, Jeremy Jordan (Supergirl, Smash, The Last Five Years, Newsies) was mislabeled a homophobe for his factual statement that &#;Supercorp&#; is not canon. In an interview with MTV, the cast of Supergirl performed a musical recap of season 2. Jordan took the lead. As soon as he introduced Lena Luthor&#;s character, Jordan shouted that she and Kara are &#;Not gonna get together, they&#;re ONLY FRIENDS&#;.

The interview is almost ten minutes long, but if you want to see the offending remarks, start at and see until The comments created a massive backlash on social media.  Fans of the &#;Supercorp&#; pairing (Supergirl and Luthor Corp, or Kara and Lena) went as far as threatening Jordan&#;s life, encouraging him to kill himself, and calling him a homophobe.
