Toby Madigan is and up-and-coming recording artist who is getting involved and coming out for marriage equality. His song Stand for Love is one of four finalists in the Equality Song contest for the October 11th National Equality March.
Chris M, Lead Hunkologist: How big of a culture shock has it been moving from Michigan to Los Angeles?
Toby Madigan: I grew up in Michigan, but I went to high school and college near Toledo, OH, which was a fairly decent-sized city, so I'm not a total country boy, but LA is way different than anything in the Midwest, that's for sure.
Toby Madigan: First of all, we have seasons . . . but who's complaining? It's basically the weather they die for where I am from every day in LA.
Toby Madigan: I would say the biggest cultural shocks were positive ones. There is much more diversity in LA and it seems like a place where everyone is following some kind of dream or passion. Of course, with that comes a little bit of ambition and self-centeredness that you can sometimes run into, but it's much more exciting and much more open-minded.
Toby Madigan: The only thing I miss is the spaciousness and fresh air . . . oh yeah, and the leaves, I love the fall leaves back home . . .

Chris M, Hunk du Jour: So tell me a little about yourself - where'd you grow up?
Andrew Nichols: I was born in Portland, OR, spent my first 10 years in Vancouver, WA and then lived on Whidbey Island until I was 18.
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: So your tween and teen years were all on Whidbey Island -- what was growing up there like?
Andrew Nichols: I grew up in the small town of Freeland, WA and although my large extended family was well known on the south end of the Island I often felt like a loner. Possibly because my extended family was very religious and their religion never set well with me.

Chris M, Hunk du Jour: We're here with Michael DiMartino, from YouTube, who you've probably seen in that awesome Womanizer fan video where he signs the entire song... welcome, Michael!
Michael DiMartino: Thanks Chris!
UPDATED Video Address
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: You released another video last week too, correct?
Michael DiMartino: Yes, thats right. If You Seek Amy, by Britney Spears
Chris M, Hunk du Jour: Ahh, yes! So that's an interesting song in that if you hear someone SAYING "If You Seek Amy" it's quite a different effect than if you're just reading it on a page (or seeing it signed, I imagine.)
Michael DiMartino: Right. There is definitely the acronym for an obsenity that everyone has become aware of. When I first thought about doing the song I struggled with that.
As an interpreter I had to figure out how to put the MEANING of the song (the obscenity, the sexual undertone) without losing the gimmick of the song's phrase "If you Seek Amy." I decided to play with the idea of a girl named amy leaving me a note in bed, and chasing her throughout the video. And using a split screen to sign the two phrases "If You Seek Amy" and "F U * K Me"

Michael Brent has been getting more and more attention on the web lately, so we caught up with him for a little Q&A to ask him some incredibly topical and hard-hitting questions!
...ok, maybe it was more like what his favorite movies are, getting swindled at age 14 by a faux agency, and how awkward of a teenager he was.
At any rate, it was a very fun conversation - I hope you enjoy it too!

We're so privileged to get in touch with some stellar photographers whose work we really admire. Photographer Bradford Rogne sent over these photos from his LASC campaign, featuring Jakub Stefano. He was also nice enough to answer a few of our questions in this exclusive Q&A!
How did you get connected with Jakub for the shoot?
Jakub and I actually connected thru MySpace, and decided we wanted to eventually work on a project together. He emailed me in January to let me know he'd be back in LA soon, so when this opportunity came up, I thought he'd be perfect! And he was!
What did it take for you to capture the mid-air shots of Jakub?
Well, I went out and got a trampoline for the shoot. But, little did I know how high Jakub can jump on his own. No trampoline required! Even with a basketball injury, he was able to stay in the air thru-ought the shoot, no problem. So, if anyone wants to buy a trampoline... :-)
What is your favorite photo from the campaign?
I have so many favorite images from the shoot. One of them is the jumping photo with the green tank top, yellow shorts and purple high tops. [ Ed - see the shot below! ] It's just a fun shot, and really captures the essence of what I wanted to get from the shoot.
What is the next project we can expect to see from you?
I'll have behind the scenes video and bonus photos for you this week, from my shoot with Instinct Magazines April 2009 cover shoot. I'll also have an undiscovered face for you to enjoy. A blue eyed Columbian beauty. Check back soon!

How long have you been in the U.S. and what brought you here?
I have been in L.A. since May 2007 and have yet to return home for a visit. I made the jump to the U.S. to further my career within the entertainment industry. Acting and modeling is not work for me, its fun, exciting and grants the opportunity to meet some amazing and influential people. It's a passion and one must make extreme sacrifices to follow their dream.

How would you describe the sound of your music?
I'd just describe us as Americana. Americana seems to be the umbrella that everyone from Dylan to Springsteen to early Wilco to Kris Kristofferson fall under, and that's a pretty diverse group, but to me it just means American rock n roll.

We got a chance to chat with Andrew Oldershaw about life, his many projects, being featured on the November 2008 cover of Instinct Magazine, and how normal guys like you and I can get started making a difference in our own community.
How has the reaction to your Instinct cover been?
My friends joke and poke and give me grief, but I've gotten a ton of emails from total strangers. It gives you goosebumps when a young gay kid you've never met from Illinois tells you his life story and that he's planning to get a few friends together to start a pro-social community group after reading it. I've had people ask about coming out, about organizations to donate to, about how they can roll up their sleeves and do something. That's exactly why I did it. That's the spirit of standing and being counted. I guess you never know (and certainly never expect) how one seemingly ordinary life can influence others. I'm touched. We've got a lot of work to do, and we'll need all hands on deck.

Will Wikle may have started out on reality television on Big Brother, but he's up on the big screen now in Another Gay Sequel. This raunchy gay answer to teen sex comedies has headed off to the beach, and from the sound of it we aren't exactly talking about the next Frankie & Annette film.
Check out our exclusive interview with Will after the jump -- plus a link to a photo from this sultry photo shoot he did with photographer Rick Day that is even too hot for HDJ!

I spoke with Jason Dottley for nearly two hours a few months ago about life on his new television series Sordid Lives, the incredible tight-knit cast, taking it all off onscreen, and his husband Del Shores. While I couldn't fit everything we spoke about in, he was a delight and we are super-excited to see the premiere of Sordid Lives tonight on Logo TV.
Chris, Hunk du Jour: Hi Jason! So you're starring in the television version of Sordid Lives... how did filming go?
Jason Dottley: Oh, it was great! We worked at a pace of maniacs, filming 12 half-hour episodes in 35 days... about 35 fewer than you actually need. It could not have been more fun, I mean -- you've seen who I get to work with, so no complaints from this end.
Hunk du Jour: We love the film -- where does the TV show pick up from in relation to it?
Jason Dottley: The series starts before the film, it's a prequel. It is the day Tammy Wynette dies and for those Sordid Lives fans, we all understand that it would be a pretty big day in Brother Boy's life. My character, Ty, is in LA -- therapist hopping, as Ty likes to do.
Jason Dottley: There are great therapist cameos, Margaret Cho, Carson Kressley, Candis Cayne, and then my husband Del Shores has a brief cameo as well.
