Third cousin, twice removed.....

What, you may ask is Ben Affleck doing with that considerably smaller young man? He's showing him the love that cousins can show cousins -- in the totally legal and platonic way, silly!

Actually, Ben's cousin is gay and Ben loves his gay cousin, as do lots of celebrities! Well, maybe they don't all love Ben's cousin (he does work in PR) but they do show their affection for their gay brothers, sisters, daughters & sons in a new public awareness campaign designed by PFLAG (Parents & Friends of Lesbians and the Gays).

Well known, politically involved and uber-loved lesbian Chrissy Gephardt is featured along with the brother of Congressman Gregory Meeks and a bevy of other multi-cultural and well-loved family members.

I think it's a kinda sweet and refreshing message. Made me wish I was Ben's cousin, too.....
