I live to the right of the #1. But the real reason for this post is that some dude has created a downloadable NYC subway map for your iPod. Get it here..

Back in the ’80s, I used to call my roommate “the keeper of my tricks”, because I seemed to have a hard time remembering the guys I was meeting. I’d point out some hot guy to my roommate and he’d say, “Oh, him. You already did him. He’s from Boston. Nice guy. Has a convertible.” Oops. Those days are long …

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Osama bin Ladin, former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani has officially become a 2008 presidential candidate. Giuliani, one of the most reviled public servants in New York City history (no mean feat), became an almost mythic national figure in the aftermath of 9/11 as he skillfully posed on steel rubble and mastered the …

“Jesus is starting to put me back together. I have spent so much time in repentance, brokenness, hurt and sorrow for the things I’ve done and the negative impact my actions have had on others.” – Ted Haggard, in an email accidentally sent to a Colorado radio station, in which he announces that he and his wife have decided to …

I had a rather strange encounter at the Eagle last night. I was wearing the Piggly Wiggly t-shirt that my buddy Little Tom bought me when he visited San Francisco for Mac World last month. Tom and I were leaning on the pool table under the big screen playing the Super Bowl when a guy a pointed at me and …

The Saint At Large has YouTube’d a bit of the movie starring transexual porn star Buck Angel (NSFW), filmed for last year’s Schwartzwald-themed Black Party, which I fake live-blogged afterwards. The music is Brainbug’s ominous trance classic, Nightmare. This year’s Black Party is March 24th. Tickets go on sale February 16th.

The temp is 8 degrees with a wind chill of -10, and I am telling you I’m not going back to gloves now that I’ve realized how much better mittens are. And could I look more like a chubby fireplug? Sigh. .

The best commercial during the Super Bowl came from Coca-Cola. The crowd I was watching with roared when an apparently gay guy (wearing a pink shirt with a sweater knotted around his neck) was pulled from his red convertible so that the main character could give him a Coke. I thought it was cute. The “gay kiss” Snickers ad didn’t …

A fake living room set up to promote Bravo’s Top Design attracted a couple of transit workers to take a break on the platform of the S train, underneath 42nd Street.

The Washington State Supreme Court recently ruled that the state could prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying because the state has a legitimate interest in preserving marriage for procreation. In a clever response, gay marriage activists have filed a state initiative that will allow only couples capable of having kids to marry, and require that they file “proof of …

I was all set to write a post encouraging attendance at The Big Voice, the critically-raved off-Broadway musical about, written by and starring two gay men in a 22-year relationship. This is the slow time of year for theatre attendance and when the shows with less than packed houses tend to fold. Then I got the following press release: An …

Belinda Carlisle dazzles at in-store appearance. – Boy Culture Prediction: Bears, by a hair. Ahem. – The Cup Of JoeMeth-related ER visits drop by 30% in SF. – Michael PetrelisOpenly gay high school quarterback dies in car crash. – ESPNActivists object to Tuscon TV expose’ on park cruising. – Box Turtle Bulletin.

I still thought it was the Baltimore Colts.

Thanks very much for all the kind emails asking about my family regarding this morning’s tornados in Central Florida. I am touched by your concern. My people are all OK, the storm did the most damage in Lake and Volusia counties, where at least 14 were killed. Orlando is the thunderstorm capital of North America, but seems have been spared …

The Church Of Scientology thinks that Tom Cruise is the messiah. I don’t know, I always expected God to be, you know, taller. And a top..

New Yorker Jeremy Hooper, author of the vital gay news blog Good As You, today takes on a man who has sent him violent threats after viewing Jeremy’s recent appearance on the PBS gay newsmagazine, In The Life. An easy Google search has ID’d the man as a Philadelphia business owner and Jeremy names him today. Something tells me that …

“I’ve been called a bitch – and a lot worse – for years. And you know what, so what? People who think that aren’t going to change their minds. And I wouldn’t dream of sending them to therapy to ‘rehabilitate’ their feelings. How absurd. Please, I call all my gay friends ‘big fags’.” – Sharon Stone. Opinions?.

“Listen, I’m a fucking steamroller, and I’ll roll over you and anybody else.” – New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, who yesterday tripled the proposed expenditure for gay community health programs. That proposal may get shot down, there has been some outcry against his new budget, but like many, I continue to be impressed with our new governor. In just over …

My apologies for this rerun from my archives. My dear friend Daniel Johnson, who threw the most kickass Groundhog’s Day birthday parties for himself, would have been 50 years old today. His was a life that burned brightly and I am illuminated still. Daniel Johnson, 1957-1997. I Will Hold You Ten Times 1. I will hold you, Daniel 2. The …

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newson, the darling of some gay marriage activists, has been exposed for having an affair with the wife of his election campaign manager. Newsom is up for re-election this year and faces a grassroots campaign urging openly lesbian state Sen. Carole Migden to run against him. Not all gay marriage proponents are Newsom fans. Some activists …
