Everything's Political

Thanks, Mr. Prez?

Why do I feel like that kid after Christmas whose dad shows up on the 26th with the new Hot Wheels car after my mom's new boyfriend already beat me with a couple of lengths of the racetrack under the tree the day before? Yes, it's historic. Yes, it's appreciated, but … Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay: Feb. 28

The weather has been positively Spring-like, my dearies, and the news has been, too! Not only did an anti-gay Republican get outed as a man-loving super creep, but some Atlanta gaybashers and an Indiana transphobe got their comeuppance. Plus, lots of great news if you love gay marriage! Let the dishing begin! Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay: Feb. 14

The unicorn that brings me weekly news updates in a wicker basket has – instead of providing a fruit salad of LGBT odds and ends – brought me the five biggest fruits from the queer news orchard. There's some marriage mangos, some bitter anti-gay tomatoes in the Ugandan parliament, and a angry bowl of lemons that Ellen DeGeneres turned into delicious lemonade. Read More | Comment »

Tuesday News Gay on a Wednesday: Feb. 1

Thank your lucky stars, young unicorns, because not only did Austin make the list of lesbianiest cities, but there's good same-sex marriage news, a push for trans-rights in the military, and a queer-friendly guide to this week's hyper-masculine celebration of heteronormative violence… (or for those who just really wanna see Madonna's half-time show).

Tuesday News Gay on a Wednesday: Jan. 18

Did you know a gay man beat out Michelle Bachmann for president in the New Hampshire primary? Oooh gurl! Where you been??! It also turns out that one of the most rabidly anti-gay candidates loves gays, as well as good gay rights news and a fabulous bitchfight brewing between Elton John and Madonna in this week's round-up of extra sparkly LGBT news!

Who the Hell is Fred Karger?

Ever since Gov. Rick Perry announced that he was heading to South Carolina to campaign, everyone has been wondering: Why is he not heading down to New Hampshire, home of the next primary? The latest Suffolk University/7 News poll may explain why he has given up on the Granite State. He is tied for support with Fred Karger. Who? Read More | Comment »

Tuesday Newsgay: Dec. 27

So grab some hot cocoa and let's discuss whether the gay media should call out celebs for saying "tranny," whether the Catholic Church should compare Pride marches to the KKK, and whether a new image of lesbian Naval officers kissing will become a new icon in the post-Don't Ask, Don't Tell age.

Perry's Day of Fasting for Ballots

With both Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum both circling the GOP presidential nominations, it seemed Monday would be a bad day for Gov. Rick Perry to burnish his wingnut fundamentalist credentials. That is, until he called for a day of prayer and fasting in Texas. Read More | 1 Comment »

The Top and Bottom of 2010

Call me a curmudgeon, but I'm seeing more negative than usual this year. I want to maintain a positive and healthy attitude about gay struggles in 2010, but even some of our greatest victories seem tainted. That being said, there were great steps towards full equality, acceptance and cultural integration. Read More | Comment »

Meditations

Last week was the Solstice, a lunar eclipse (not seen in its timing and so forth for 566 years). Though I saw only clouds at 1am, I still made a meditational wish on that cusp of astrological change. I've been thinking about DADT and its repeal and the idea of new coming from old. Light coming from dark. So forgive me as I meander, theme-wise, after the jump. Read More | Comment »

Is 'This' the New 'That'?

Fashion says it all the time: "Plaid/chartreuse/aquamarine is the new black!" This phrase is trotted out year after year to highlight the season, a new designer, or just to give the other damn colors a chance to shine against that all-perfect look, basic black. Read More | Comment »
