E!Online have released an article with the creators of ‘Straight But Not Narrow’ (SBNN), the organisation set to overcome homophobia and sexual stigmatising through the use of “dudes talking to dudes about dudes that like dudes”. Josh appeared for a SBNN video earlier this year and it is rumoured that he will be making another viral video with Zach Wahls. The article also explains why Josh is working with SBNN in the first place.
As for the Kids Are All Right turned Hunger Games star:
“Josh is one of those guys who’s had two gay uncles for his whole life and gay rights has always been a big part of his family in general,” Andre dished. “It was one of the things he was actually interested in doing something about in the first place, so he said yes. And it was as simple as that.”
It’s nice to hear that some up-and-coming kids care more about worthy causes than red carpet appearances!
We’re told Josh will be making another appearance in a viral video this fall, possibly alongside Zach Wahls (whom you may remember from a popular YouTube clip that featured his speech to the Iowa Congress defending gay marriage). Read more at the source.
Four new images from Josh’s photoshoot with Tyler Shields has been added into the galleries. Photos can be seen here or you could follow the previews below.

Josh’s slasher comedy movie, “Detention”, has been picked up production company Sony Pictures and will be heading to theatres worldwide. Mixing elements of comedy, horror, sci-fi and action movies, the film centers on a group of high school seniors who face off against a slasher killer, and ultimately find themselves in a position to save the world – if only they can get out of detention.
“This is the best apocalyptic fantasy, horror, science fiction, action- thriller, body swapping, time-traveling teen romantic comedy that we have ever screened. The pace, energy, and awesomeness Joseph Kahn has achieved in ‘Detention’ is completely mind-blowing in the best way possible,” said Sony exec Scott Shooman in a statement.
The film recently won the Youth Jury prize for best FutureWave Feature Film at the Seattle International Film Festival.
