So the forecast for Pride Day in Toronto was “sun, heat, cool and rain.” And we got all of that. And we had a rockin’ party. I spent a lot of time watching the kids having a blast, fiercing it out at an age when I was still thinking I’d some day get married and [...]

Well, actually, I don’t. But how can you not have fun when almost a million family and friends come out for North America’s biggest Pride party?

An Ironic Juxtaposition
Yonge & St. Mary Streets, Toronto, 29 July 2008 4:00PM

Well, not so much Saturday in the park as it was Saturday in streets and parking lots festooned with rainbow shit. The Dyke March was political and fierce (but disappointingly short) and much fun was had on the street and at the Mel C set at the Wellesley stage. And the Hidden Cameras show finishing [...]

For your sliding-into-the-festive-weekend-and-it-feels-so-good enjoyment, I’d once again like to take the opportunity to present Australia’s The Presets. A “Trouble Week” musical interlude, if you will.
Remember that it was the troublemakers who made history on this weekend.
“My People”, The Presets (Apocalypso):
I’m here with all of my people
Locked up with all of my people
So let me hear [...]

Extra-Special “Trouble Week”, Casual-Disregard-for-Common-Courtesy Edition!
At the Gym:
A: Hey, B, have you met Jason? Jason, this is B.
Jason: Nice to meet you.
B: Yes, we’ve met. About a dozen times, I figure. At least.
Jason: Oh, really? When?
B: Well, the first time was when I was working for the Department of Justice and you came in with a [...]

So here’s the deal: Every now and then this Green on Thursday series hits a dry spell and there aren’t any sniveling closet cases or heroic gay icons or droolworthy heterostuds that spring to mind. I’m sure they’re out there, but me throwing up just any GoT celebrity would be akin to me wearing a [...]

Sometimes I think we’re our own worst enemies. By “we” I mean homos and by “worst enemies” I mean “happy Pride Week, jerkasses.”
So it’s like this. Leven and I often talk on the phone about the liberating experience of peeling off your shirt in environments which have, traditionally, been entirely appropriate for the partial or [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s “Trouble Week” here at This. That. No Other. (like “Shark Week”, only troublier), and what better ambassador for the best kind of trouble than the inimitable Eric Leven — New York blogger, filmmaker, activist and bon vivant — who celebrates 27 years on this planet today. Everyone says Leven’s [...]

The trouble with fashion? Too few models like this real man from Vivienne Westwood:

“Well, after seasons of skinny emo boys, Viv has given us something interesting to look at.” — New York Times
I’m sure he looks even more interesting without that particular… ensemble. And accessories.
(Thanks and a tip of the chapeau to Dale for the [...]
