Chronic masturbator and actor James Franco portrays Beat Generation poet and gay activist Allen Ginsberg in the new flick Howl. Named for his epic poem, Ginsberg’s creation is considered to be a classic in American poetry and led to a whole bunch of people wearing black, chain smoking in coffee houses, and throwing off the chains of sexual repression in the late 1950s. Franco, despite his unfortunate heterosexuality, is no stranger to gay roles and we salute him for it. Check out the following clip, in which James plays Ginsberg debuting “Howl” in all his horn-rimmed, gay liberation movement pioneer glory.

J.Harvey, you awesome. Don’t ever leave us.
I saw the movie (on Demand on Comcast), and it is an incredible movie… for anyone that believes in love and in art =-)
James Franco should be nominated for this role, he was incredible…
Ginsberg is God. Period.
thank you J.Harvey for this post. Ginsberg is one of my heroes and is a hero of the gay culture. I need to see this movie for sure.
I like Franco…I wonder if his girlfriend helps him out with all that masterbating…hott and sexxxy.
