Now before you silly Nellies jump on me (um I could have used a better verb) for dissing my beloved Anderson Cooper, I happened across the video below and just thought well Hell we’ve had so much serious stuff these past couple of days let’s have some fun for a change. In spite of what the [...]

The infamous survey that the Pentagon is using in finding out about how troops would feel serving with out and proud gays and lesbians if Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was ended is a non-issue for many according to Richard Engel as he reported Thursday night on The Rachel Maddow Show.

And as we stand on the doorstep of an election that will again decide the course of our government, our community is locked into an energetic and serious debate about how to engage, or [...]

Who was your favorite half-naked Glee cast member from last night’s Rocky Horror Picture Show episode? Gawker has a good wrap-up of the episode . Chord Overstreet? Cory Monteith? Matthew Morrison? I’m hot for teacher, not the fish but the hairy chested Matthew Morrison! [...]

Yep pardners time to saddle up de ponies, put on the straps and mosey on down to Tyler Texas as KETK-TV and it’s “news partner” radio station KTBB has unofficially (yeah right) declared war on de homosexuals in a recent call-in show where they ask the question, Do you think this country’s acceptance of homosexuality could lead to [...]

As regular readers know I don’t often “run with the pack” of other LGBT bloggers and websites but the following is such an outrage I’m adding my blog to spotlight this homophobic bastard Clint McCance who is a member of the Midland School District Board of Education.

Newly gay — that’s sarcasm — recording artist Ricky Martin’s newest album drops November 2. The cover art for the new album has been released but unfortunately doesn’t show Ricky’s body at all. I gotta admit I’ve never been a big fan of his music…I mean “She Bangs” and “Livin’ La Vide Loca”, really?!? But I’m [...]

I had been thinking about the reaction to this commentary all day on Monday, but after reading of yet another teen suicide I could not help but ask myself the question, are we now seeing an epidemic of copycat suicides. I offer no answers in this posting just a very unsettling question which I put to [...]

A representative from Playgirl said they’re willing to offer Glee hunks Chord Overstreet and Mark Salling 100K each for a G-rated cover shoot. I think Playgirl’s missing the point here.

While I’m sure over the weekend there will be LGBT bloggers expressing outrage over this political spot against LGBT beloved Barney Frank, but frankly my dear I think it’s a hoot.

I unabashedly like this fellow after reading some articles and watching a few videos. But then what’s not to like about a happy Irishman who also happens to be openly gay.
