Could You BE Any Gayer?

After this evening’s martini(s)? Probably not.

“Girl, You Did NOT Just Steal My Rights, Did You?”

If you click on the image below, you can download a high-res copy of the amazing trance_max‘s clever, exceedingly-gay (equals fun!) posteration of some banter I used to preface the John Smith poster, oh, three posts or so ago, over at Joe.My.God.. Warning! PDF!

And if you’re in Toronto and go to the U.S. Consulate [...]

Love You Tomorrow

Fifty states, many more than fifty City Hall protests. Be a part of Activism 4.0. Be a part of history. Hell, if you’ve never been to a lesbigay rights protest, you should know they’re fun, unquestionably important, exhilarating and cruisy as all get-out!

Green on Thursday #76: The Church of HOTTER-Day Saints!

Oh, you crazy Mormons!

You provide the fodder for my favourite American theatre of all time, Angels in America. You provided the fodder for an insanely-hot fuckfest at 4AM in Bangkok, almost twenty years ago. You supply a ridiculous amount of funding to deny gay Californians the right to make themselves miserable in matrimony.

You believe native [...]

Emotional Archaeology and Economics

I was doing some online banking this morning and, as an extra security measure, my financial institution occasionally requests identity confirmation in the form of an answer to some long-forgotten series of questions. Today’s was: What is the name of your first girlfriend/boyfriend? and, I have to admit, I was given pause, since I’m one [...]

How Many of These Guys Do You Figure Have Masturbated Over Photos of Sarah Palin?

From today’s New York Times:

While there are plenty of women, including wives and daughters of male fans, at Ms. Palin’s appearances, they acknowledge they are outnumbered. “This is not a ladies campaign,” declared Linda Teegan at a rally in Weirs Beach, N.H., on Wednesday. She was taking a crowd snapshot. “There seem to be lots [...]

Get. Out.

So it’s National Coming Out Day today in Canada — even though it’s technically an American invention — and I’ve been totally, totally out to absolutely everybody for… wow, twenty-one years? Geez.

And, really, I want to tell you… except for a good cry with my Dad when he asked and I told him, [...]

Green on Thursday #74: Li’l MonsterBear Will Go To Bed Hungry Tonight… Won’t You Help?

Fierce monsterbear blogbuddy Eric Leven (of KnuckleCrack fame) is the postercub for the upcoming New York Leather Weekend West Village Leather Festival (phew!) and we couldn’t be happier for him. Make sure you check out his impassioned, articulate and deeply-affecting blog and give him a big, ol’ bearhug in appreciation if you should see him out [...]

My Outweek Love Child Would Almost Be Old Enough To Vote Now (Part 1)

Back in 1991 I visited New York City with the express purpose of meeting some folks at Outweek magazine. Outweek was a NYC publication which gained notoriety in its brief but stellar existence by popularizing the practice of outing — that is, exposing for what they are the closeted homosexuals who do actual damage to gays and [...]

A Mid-Sized South American Country

Y’know, Jezebel has been having a great deal of entirely-deserved fun at the expense of International Male‘s iconic catalog’s history, and today’s post is no exception, except for the fact that the issues in question are issues I not only recognize but at one time possessed. Hey, I used to live in Calgary.

The soft focus, [...]

As Gregor Samsa Awoke One Morning From Uneasy Dreams He Found Himself Transformed In His Bed Into A Monstrous Leather Drag Butterfly

Leather Drag Butterfly

Apologies to Franz Kafka for the unfortunate post slug, above, and apologies to you in advance, Dear Reader, should you choose to follow the jump…

From Signorile comes this link: Gay Republican Playing Cards:

Seriously, does anyone knowingly have sex with a Republican? I mean the consensual, non-grudgey kind of sex.

Two Blasphemies Concerning Aaron Eckhart and “The Dark Knight”

Two Blasphemies Concerning Aaron Eckhart and The Dark Knight:

As hot as Christian Bale is — and he is smokin’ — Aaron Eckhart is much, much hotter.
As kick-ass awesome as Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker is — and it’s a tour de force, to be sure — Aaron Eckhart’s performance as Harvey Dent kicks [...]

Did I Forget to Mention That I Caught the Season 5 Opener to “Project Runway”?

Because I caught the Season 5 opener to Project Runway:

Keith: “Get noticed or go home.”
