Play loud and never stop being fabulous!

Complete with a Judy Garland singalong. Photos here. It fascinates me how the Occupy-ish this was.

West Side Rag reports: “At a street fair on Amsterdam Avenue today, two men broke out in an amazing dance in front of the former Blue Donkey Bar on 83rd Street to the song “MacArthur Park” by Donna Summer, who passed away last week.” Father Tony weighs in: “Not so many years ago, two men would be arrested for doing …

Christian preachers with bullhorns berated passing Phoenix Pride attendees on Saturday, calling them “dogs, whores, perverts, hags” and worse. Talk about an all-day advertisement for atheism!

In a little more than two hours, we’ve raised $5000 to meet the funeral expenses of Tennessee student Jacob Rogers, who committed suicide yesterday after relentless anti-gay bullying.

What happens when a gay couple in NYC’s Chelsea neighborhood mysteriously get hundreds of letters to Santa addressed to their apartment? Watch the clip and then read Father Tony’s excellent follow-up interview. UPDATE: Watch the video on the New York Times site.

Third year posting this and still totally worth a rerun. The sound has been improved a bit to drown out the screaming audience.

They’ve just launched a Tumblr blog with all their videos.

Actually it’s the Black Israelites with their usual dreary anti-gay hate speech. But this clip is amusing for the fierce queens who WILL NOT STOP VOGUEING in their faces. Werq!
