Brendan Fehr Plays Closeted Doctor On New NBC Drama "The Night Shift": Today In Gay

The Night Shift, an NBC midseason replacement series debuting May 27, follows the drama surrounding "a renegade group of doctors" who work the late shift at San Antonio Memorial Hospital.

And it turns out at least one of those doctors is gay.

Brendan Fehr (Roswell) plays Drew, a closeted doctor and veteran who served in Afghanistan. The Night Shift site describes him as "A former Army medic turned doctor [who] is proud to be part of the often-ridiculed night shift and engages in mixed martial arts as a way to reduce stress that comes with the job."

Luke MacFarlane (Brothers and Sisters) is slated to make an appearance as Drew's soldier boyfriend, Rick Lincoln.

 


"'I'm open to those assessments, because — again, I go back to the bottom line — every qualified American who wants to serve our country should have an opportunity if they fit the qualifications and can do it,'" Hagel declared on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. He confessed that transgender issues are "an area that we've not defined enough."


A tweet from Electronic Arts explained that “18+ has been assigned in accordance with the law number 436-FZ ‘On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development’”—a reference to Russia's gay-propaganda ban.

So what has them so concerned?

“Avatars often interact socially, which can sometimes lead to mild flirtation or more intimate encounters. Players can choose to ‘try for a baby’ or ‘WooHoo’ with another Sim – the later option being available to both heterosexual and same-sex couples," writes PC Gamer. These two actions cause the selected avatars to jump into bed and go under the covers, where they wriggle, giggle, and moan until confetti bursts over the bed.”

EA says it has no plans to alter the game.


One of 16 series greenlighted for AOL's On Network, More follows Grace as she tours with the band's most recent album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, meets other gender-variant people and hopefully demystifies her experience.

"It took until I was 31 to publicly come out as a transgender woman—nothing has been the same since," Grace says in the show's trailer. "You build it up in your head beforehand ... 'Should I transition?' And you're following through with that and you realize life's a transition, everyone's in transition, that's just the way it is."

Grace discusses the show, below.
