A look back at the boys from "Oz"

All of this ugliness involving a certain homophobic former NBA player has me in a bad mood. I need cheering up and if any of you do too, then I offer you these fun pictures that I came across the other day: actors Christopher Meloni and Lee Tergeson, who played lovers on the late, great prison drama "OZ." They appeared very close as they arrived at the 2000 GLAAD Awards then later, they seemed to be re-enacting some of their love scenes.

How nice to see these two terrific actors, who displayed such memorable on-screen chemistry, enjoying each other and not being at all uptight about playing gay on screen. Now, I want to know why Jake and Heath didn't behave this way at award shows last year! That might've added several millions to the gross of "Brokeback Mountain!"
