Hatin' It! Or… Your Kind of Place?
Did somebody say, "wack-a-doos?" The American Family Association is at it again. The Bible-beating blowhards are getting their special sauce in a wad over McDonalds "allowing" one of their hi-viz white collar types to be a board member in the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The AFA are (surprise!) calling for a boycott. What? Aren't gay people entitled to clogged arteries, too?

Habbo Hotel and the Matthew Shepard Foundation between then have enough real heart to pump enough commitment and inspiration to bring a virtual cause to life.

Star-Crossed Nuke Crosses Stars With La Lauper
True Colors heroine Cyndi Lauper makes a guest appearance singing her new hit "Into the Nightlife" at Oakdale's Gay Pride today, Thursday, July 3. Oakdale. As in As the World Turns Oakdale. As in CBS ATWT, 1pm on local affiliate KEYE-42. The CBS soap has been lauded for its sensitive portrayal of sensitive fellas Luke & Noah aka Nuke. La Laup is slated to appear for the small town's Gay Pride and as an added bonus to help the young lovers find their "true colors." (Heliotrope? Burnt Sienna? Hopbush? Doubt it. Madang? We can only hope.) Click below for the preview.

Sheikh Yr Booty (or Beat It With a Beltbuckle)
What else would the proud president of the United Arab Emirates Ice Hockey Association do when his totally innocent and totally not gay gesture of sending over a bottle of champagne at a bar to a man (who is not only not gay but not an alcohol drinker) was rebuffed?

Tyson Homosexual Has Been Auto-Replaced
These idiots, as Right Wing Watch reports, keep printing sprinter Tyson Gay's name as Tyson Homosexual … I s'pose because the AFA thinks "homosexual" is more oooh-oooh than "gay" is. Or something. Guh, whatevs. HOMOSEXUAL CAT IS HOMOSEXUAL.

I Got Tough-Loved by a Mini Pony!
PART 1 of a 2-PART SERIES:
K8 & Dacia roadtrip to Brenham and the Woodlands for True Colors
When I was just out of diapers, my parents would stand my chubby ass on the table to belt a few ditties for the amusement of their saucy friends. I had a few numbers in my repertoire. Ever the little exhibitionist, I never failed to stir their calloused souls with a few jams that included "La Media Vuelta" (a ranchera staple in my country – ¡VIVA MEXICO, CABRONES!), "Maneater" by Hall & Oates, and "I Love Rock & Roll" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. I would wail a couple of broken bars about putting dimes in jukeboxes then scamper off to watch my favorite movie, Flashdance… My parents must have been oblivious to some subconscious desire of theirs to shape me into the raging dyke I would one day become… but I digress.

Cuba's Pride Parade Cancelled
A few clicks ago, we posted news of Cuba's first ever Gay Pride Parade. We were holding our breath. We shouldn't have. The parade was cancelled before it began.

You Say 'Maricon' Like It's a Bad Thing
For a South Floridian who grew between Castro's Revolution and the prime of the Mariel Boatlift, the news of Cuba's first ever Gay Pride Parade is shocking to say the least. The mere mention of Castro or Cuba in the Sunshine State sparks debate, usually to the same degree of ferocity as bringing up, say, abortion in the Bible belt.

Hold the Mayo
So cute, it makes my tits hurt. So sad it got pulled for being gay.
