Quebec Says “Non” To Boisclair

Lead by openly gay Andre Boisclair, yesterday the Parti Quebecois suffered a huge setback in Quebec’s provincial elections, winning only 36 out of 125 seats. This means that the long-festering Quebec separatist movement will not get another referendum anytime soon. One of the things I don’t miss about living in South Florida was having to endure incessant news babble about …

HomoQuotable – Buck Angel

“I would never fail to tell anyone before we got home that I am a man with a pussy. That is not cool at all.” – Buck Angel, in an interview with Outrate (NSFW). Having seen Buck in action several times now, he certainly doesn’t lack for amorous attention from gay men, but the disclosure issue is certainly Topic #1 …

Leave But Also Stay

Yesterday Hillary Clinton said that if she were president, she would definitely sign the House bill that demands total pullout of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by summer of 2008. But she also said that a continued indefinite American presence was necessary to sweep Iraq for terrorists, continuing her strategy of making absolutely no one happy about her policy on …

YouTube Awards

Aside from the clever OKGo treadmill video, I was unfamiliar with any of the winners of the 2006 YouTube Awards, announced yesterday. I just can’t believe Mr. Pregnant didn’t win anything.

Dancing With The Boys

Chris of San Francisco’s Remember The Party hipped me to this incredible performance by two boys who incorporate break-dance moves into a rollicking, hilarious swing-dance routine, in what will undoubtedly become one of YouTube’s most viewed clips. The person who posted the clip slyly disabled blog embedding in order to drive traffic to his NSFW twinkie-porn site (which he links …

Attractile Dysfunction

BELOW: DJ Michael Fierman leans over his record as he sooths the morning masses shortly after taking the Black Party stage at 11AM. Notice that unlike the preceding two DJs, Fierman is using vinyl. That’s Bonnie Pointer’s Heaven Must Have Sent You on the turntable. Another Black Party has come and gone, always with an astonishment of how quickly time …

Morning View – McDonalds

OK, not exactly a “morning view”, since I took this on Friday night. This is the entrance of the McDonald’s on 42nd Street in Times Square, which bills itself as the world’s largest. Isn’t that exciting? No? Not really? Embiggen to smell the grease.

Rerun

Probably not much blogging today, will be sleeping all day (or as much as I can), to get ready for tonight’s event. In the meantime, here’s my (too long) “live blogging” of last year’s Black Party. And here’s a very short story I wrote about the 2005 event.

Sex O’Clock

Last night a feisty pre-Black Party crowd swarmed the Eagle, where I found myself in group of the New York Boys Of Leather, chatting with a cute young FTM named Kyle. I can’t recall how the topic came up, but Kyle hipped me to the FTM portmanteau du jour: “clock”. Clit + cock = clock. Everybody got that? Now you …

Blades Of Bore-y

Last night Aaron and I attended a preview of Blades Of Glory, starring Will Ferrell and Jon (Napoleon Dynamite) Heder. Will Farrell plays the same character we saw in Anchorman, a deluded megalomaniacal ladies man, who along with Heder is banned from men’s figure skating after a gold medal ceremony fistfight. Thanks to a loophole pointed out by Heder’s creepy …

Morning View – Times Square

From the southwest corner of 42nd & Broadway, looking north. At 60 degrees, it would almost feel spring-like this morning, if not for the overcast sky.

The Junior Voguer

Yesterday a friend sent me this video, in which a very young boy vogues, struts, and poses to Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. The kid is adorable and definitely has talent, but when I read the accompanying comments I found a barrage of anti-gay vitriole calling for the child’s mother to find God and intervene before her boy grows up into another RuPaul. …

HomoQuotable – Peter Tachell

“This vote is another nail in the coffin of homophobia. The defeat of the religious fundamentalists is a just reward for their deceitful scare-mongering campaign.” – British gay activist Peter Tachell, celebrating that despite vigorous protest and lobbying by British fundies (remember Monday’s video?), the Sexual Orientations Regulations was approved by the House of Lords yesterday. Zod saved the queens!.
