CruVilla DeVille

Scroll down to the end of this week's Naked City to read a piece about two local gals, Dana Tomlin and Carol Campbell who wanted to rent a lovely scenic location at which to hold their commitment ceremony and were turned away from local rent-a-center Villa Antonia.

What if every monied queer group in town called the Villa to get price quotes to hold fundraisers, offer them double the asking price, and then let it slip that the fundraiser is for marriage equality?

Talking About Not Telling

The controversial 15-year-old Don't Ask Don't Tell policy is up for review for the first time in Congress since its inception in 1993.

Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-California sponsored a bill to repeal DADT, and the House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee is considering it. San Antonio native and former Marine Staff Sgt. Eric Alva (the first American wounded in the war on Iraq) testified on behalf of Tauscher's bill.

Over 12,500 service members have been discharged since 1993.

Party Faithful

Condo congregation preacher and the Democratic Party's Chief of Staff and CEO for next month's Democratic National Convention, Leah Daughtry – whose main mission with the party seems to be to shepherd faith-based folks into becoming party faithful – was profiled this past weekend in the New York Times.

Yes, Michelle, You Always Order the Tuna

Catch cute lezzy actress Michelle Paradise in this Nature Made commercial, "Sisters," complete with punchline (view to the end) that seems tailor-made for the lady-lovin' Exes & Ohs star. Michelle's the dark-haired one to the right, in the blue (and later in the white suit with the dog) who says the last line at the end.

No Homo So Homo

At first I got pissed, reading earlier this month that the new favorite joke in NFL locker rooms is a quick "No Homo," kinda like a "Fag. No Fag backs."

For example:
"My, Jackson, your Johnson looks so big in those tight, white pants."
(Wait for it.)
"No Homo!"

See, how it works is you lay down something really, really homosexual, like "God I'd love to just devour your vagina," and couple it with the negating quality of a wham-bam-"No Homo"-ma'am, and none of the sinning applies, and, instead, you get to remain safe and sound among the confines of hetero-normative societal expectations. Sigh.

Or.

Dumb Spiro Spero

I wasn't planning on weighing in on the whole South Carolina Is So Gay thing (because it is) until a fellow Chronster sent me this awesome Gawker link to their simple (yet elegant) blog post about it. I had previously dismissed the story – of the state's tourism board pulling an overseas ad campaign it had previously approved – as story-worthy mostly because
