Okay so I wasn’t going to post anything until the wee hours of Monday but I came across an article written by Julian Clary at The Guardian  and I just couldn’t resist sharing it with my fellow boomers (and older figgits). I’m a staggering 51 – too old for alcopops yet too young for Midsomer Murders. So I asked [...]

Commentator Tom Purcell takes a very tongue-in-cheek look at same-sex marriage. Here’s some highlights from his blog posting . I hope they know what they’re getting themselves into. The concept may conflict with your traditions and religious values — you may find it odd for a judge to say, “I now declare you wife and wife” — but if you follow [...]

Here we go again with another “tell all” book about a celebrity who has passed on to the great beyond and becomes titillating fodder for the sake of making a buck. Darwin Porter who brought you such eye opening (more like wallet opening) books like ” Hollywood Babylon “, ” Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again ” and ” Merv Griffin: A Life In [...]

Billy Van Raaphorst is no stranger to being disliked being a baseball umpire but when homophobic attacks are hurled that crosses the line in good sportsmanship. As the Edmonton Journal reported this past weekend Raaphorst was invited to speak about homophobia in sports at the invitation of the NHL Oilers where he was the key note speaker [...]

In 1980 William Friedkin’s movie Cruising starring Al Pacino created a firestorm in the gay community. Gays protested the film not only during it’s release but also during filming. Demonstrators did everything they could to sabotage the filming. There was an unsuccessful attempt to get Friedkin’s location permits in the Village revoked. When that didn’t work, people honked horns [...]

Connecticut one of the more progressive states in the Union in regards to the LGBT community now seems to be adding yet another notch in its conquest of the Rainbow. This time in politics as Gregory B. Hladky writes in The New Haven Advocate . Twenty years ago a Connecticut state lawmaker made national headlines by coming out of [...]

Earlier this week it was announced that Rachel Maddow will be receiving the Walter Cronkite Faith & Freedom Award from The Interface Alliance for her work in covering religion and politics. But Rachel’s work and I daresay importance goes beyond winning awards. She has become an advocate for LGBT issues while still keeping her journalistic integrity. While not keeping her sexuality [...]

I hate dogfighting, bullfighting and cockfig….er, wait a minute, you get the point. Except for the unsuspecting children, any buttmunch who performs, produces or attends one of these events is getting what they deserve, even when things go awry. Amazing video — Bulls Gone Wild! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sMMVLwKL8w Oh, I forgot it’s ‘part of their culture’ so [...]

Wisconsin backup quarterback Curt Phillips makes his second appearance in as many years in the Top 25 Hotties Rankings, but, facing stiffer competition this season, Phillips’ hotness ranking dropped from #6 in 2009 to #17 in 2010. Last year playing in a limited role — that’s nice for he only played when the game was way out of hand [...]

Okay so Matthew Mitcham is an openly gay Aussie Olympic diver and not a rugby player but I bet he’d like to see the 2012 Gay Rugby Cup played in his homeland. Besides any excuse to show some beefcake in speedos like you all are complaining. According to the Aussie LGBT website SameSame, The Sydney Convicts rugby team [...]

Homeless. It can happen to anyone at anytime. From the Great Depression right through and into our current day in these still perilous economic times. many are but a paycheck away from being homeless. But what of those who are homeless through no fault of their own but for their sexuality? These are the youth of [...]

Looks like Brett Favre’s training camp opens today just like it did exactly one year ago today when he showed at Vikings training camp on August 18, 2009. I’d rather watch Muhammad Ali fill a bird feeder than hear anymore conjecture about Favre’s status right now. Seriously, Favre’s off-the-field decisions are about as anticlimactic as a [...]

The first Ohio State Buckeye to crack our list of the Top 25 College Football Hotties of 2010 is freshman wide receiver Chris Fields. Although he was quick in accepting his offer to play for his home state university, Fields was relegated to scout team duties and redshirted in 2009. Known for sure hands and sick-ass speed, [...]
