Worst.Sex.Ever.

February 14th I’ll be performing in WYSIWYG’s Worst.Sex.Ever. This will be the fourth annual installment of the Valentine’s Day show in which the performers recount their all-time worst sexual experiences. Advance tickets are available here, this show always sells out. Um, if you happen to be a certain short Latino bodybuilder who lives on W.49th in Hell’s Kitchen, you might …

Map Quest

Grand Central Terminal, Food Court, 1:30 PMAn attractive young white guy and a stunning Asian girl are seated next to me. As I’m eating my lunch and scanning the Times, they converse animatedly in Japanese. As always, I am startled to hear an apparent Westerner speaking fluent Japanese, I don’t know why I always notice that. They are in business …

Morning View – Alice Of Central Park

Does anybody else find Central Park’s Alice In Wonderland statue kind of creepy? Like most park statuary, her nose has been rubbed bright by thousands of visitors, rendering her either as an allergy sufferer or a coke-head.

B.A.R. Blasts AHF Lawsuit

An editorial in today’s Bay Area Reporter correctly blasts the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for its lawsuit against Pfizer, taking aim at AHF head Michael Weinstein and San Francisco “STD chief” Jeffrey Klausner. Many gay AIDS activists have major issues with Klausner’s repeated attempts to stigmatize gay men with leading irresponsible sex lives. And by extension, AHF and Klausner’s position is …

Stroke Out The Smoke

Hot on the heels of the entirely non-earthshattering news that gays smoke twice as much as straights, comes word of a new study that shows that patients who have had an injury to a certain area of the brain, the insula, were immediately freed of their smoking addiction. This finding presents great implications in the field of addictions studies. The …

Nope

Nope. I’m completely overhauling JMG beginning tomorrow. From now on, it’s nothing but shirtless twinks, adorable kittens, reality show recaps, scribbled-on C-list celeb photos, heterosexual sports stars, and memes, memes, memes. First up: “Which Roman emperor are you?” I’m fucking Caligula, bitch.

Set Phasers On “Popcorn”

The Pentagon has a new microwave “crowd control” device that is fired from a Humvee-based satellite dish. Those in the path of the beam feel as if they are about to burst into flames. With a range of 500 meters, the military claims that the device only penetrates human skin to a depth of 1/64 of an inch and cannot …

MS Words

Microsoft has been busted for offering to start paying a blogger to make edits to its Wikipedia entries. I am 300% certain that other companies have employees making sure that Wikipedia entries are tweaked to favor themselves, but you have to shake your head at Microsoft for going out-of-house on this. Microsoft has admitted that it violated the Wikipedia terms …

Gay Sheep: The Final Word (Hopefully)

The New York Times has finally weighed in on the “gay sheep” controversy of several weeks ago, crediting anonymous biologist blogger (and JMG commenter) Empty Pockets as unmasking PETA’s campaign to ruin the work and reputation of OHSU researcher Dr. Charles Roselli. Martina Navrativola, however, stands by her allegiance with PETA, saying, ““The more we play God or try to …

Donnie Davies = Todd Quillen?

UPDATE: The “real” Davies exposed: HERE. After an almost 48-hour run of speculation that has gripped the gay blogosphere, tenacious and smart JMG reader “Chrome” (a frequent commenter here), wrote to me early this morning with his conclusion that “Ex-gay” Pastor Donnie Davies is actually actor/musician/improv performer Todd Quillen. Quillen’s personal site is here, his Yahoo photo album is here. …

Open Thread Thursday

This week’s OTT is inspired by Donnie Davies. Complete the following sentence: “That’s as gay as………” My favorite still has to be the southern classic: “That’s as gay as Christmas!” I’ve also got a fond spot for “That’s as gay as lunch with Liberace!”.

More From Donnie Davies

OK, this is driving me slightly mad. Davies’ Mona Lisa smile in this latest video make me strongly suspect that he’s been having a field day at the expense of the gay blogosphere. But as I’ve said from the start, satire or not, the entire production has been brilliant pro-gay PR. Today, I’m more leaning towards believing that Davies is …

Homo Phobo Rehab? Puh-leeze!

I haven’t said anything about the Isaiah Washington issue until now, because aside from the fact that he’s an actor I’d never heard of, from a show I’ve never watched, it’s just NOT that important a story in the grand scheme of gay activism. In a day when gays are subject to outright and open legalized discrimination, is it really …

HIV Vaccine Reseach Moving Slowly

The outlook for an effective HIV vaccine remains bleak, even as several large-scale trials are due to report their results in 2008. Merck, Aventis, and VaxGen are all underway with vaccine trials, but scientists are hoping only that the results reduce infections “a little”, at least providing a springboard to future research. Highest hopes are pinned on the Merck study, …

SOTU? STFU!

Last night Dubya was interrupted by applause 62 times. He was interrupted by the sounds of millions of eyes rolling 62 million times. But wasn’t it great to see Nancy Pelosi sitting up there? Overall the speech was deadly dull and by the numbers. Introduce heroes from the audience: check. Usage of the word “terror” two dozen times: check. Mention …
