• Austin’s queer bar scene keeps expanding with The Basement and ’Bout Time II recently opening. We are hoping that ‘Bout Time II will be keeping Charlie’s free Thanksgiving tradition. Keep checking back to the Gay Place for more info.

• The Q will definitely he holding their potluck Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday the 21st.

• Just when we thought all the champagne corks have been popped, all the balloon drops have been, uhm, dropped, and all the confetti has been carefully gathered and returned to Rip Taylor, more frosting keeps being added to the moist queerlection cake. Stories keep appearing about firsts, like Nashua New Hampshire electing Stacie Laughton, the state’s first trangender representative.

• Colorado Dems gave the seal of approval to Mark Ferrandino, the state’s first out Speaker of the House.

• Just for a hot minute, the AggreGAYtor would like to inhabit the mind of people like the Family Research Council’s Tom McClusky to find out why they are so shivery scared of the big queer horde. What does Tom see from those Rovian wire-framed glasses? Let’s take a look now. Yikes – that is scary!

• Luridly painted novelty life preserver Teresa Giudice is still on her “Joe is so NOT a homophobe” tour.
