Oh, will these terrifically terrible two make next year's list? Simply the GAYEST THING ON TV. Credit: cnn.com

I’m going to keep mine short and sweet, as our bureau of Gay Place youngsters go into a bit more detail in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.

Here’s my toppers of the poppers:

10)  Kathy Griffith and Anderson Cooper anchor CNN ball drop New Year’s 2008 (and they reprise their twisted li’l twosome for 2009)

9)  Chelsea Clinton gay bar hopping

8)  No duh coming out: Clay Aiken, Michael Stipe
7)  The ascent of Rachel Maddow
6)  Soulforce‘s American Family Outing / Student trips to engage the enemas (although they would never ever ever ever ever characterize their woefully backwood and gay-hating bros and sisters as such, and God Bless ’em for standing on that front line with such open hearts.)

5)  My Personal Best: Being offered official title in a United Court realm – Honorary Mistress for Life, Castle LittleMore

4)  Milk
3)  Rent at McCallum. Despite AISD’s chickenshit backing out. The kids are way more than alright. They taught the adults a li’l something about compassion, principle, grace, humility, and art.

2)  Abba Singalong (local) to coincide with Mamma Mia! (global)

1)  Join the Impact

Bittersweet Memories Del Martin, Robert Rauschenberg, Eartha Kitt, Estelle Getty, Maya Katz, Paris Chanel, Jennifer Gale, and my pops.

Rest in sweet peace, dear lovelies.

Have a fabby-fine Oh Noine, dahrlin’s. I’ll be watching the Fleur de Lis drop into a gumbo pot or somesuch with my Top Two or Three Sweetie Pies. I hope the same for each and every one of you!
