Other than TV Guide, this is all my Christopher Street barbershop offers to waiting customers.

Blogger St.Murse attended the Donnie Davies concert at SXSW yesterday. Check out his review. Donnie and his band Evening Service were on the same bill as the Buzzcocks, a nice little bit of pairing for the homo-interested.

I was thinking about writing a post soliciting your recommendations for some new blogs for us to check out, but Matt over at Malcontent has come up with a creative and fun game that has the same result. Check out his March Gayness, a take on basketball’s NCAA March Madness, in which Matt has created a 64-blog playoff system where …

ABOVE: Irish Queers member JF Mulligan sets up. (Embiggen to read the banner.) Forget “Erin Go Bragh”, the real chant of today’s NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade was “Queers can march in Dublin! Queers can march in Cork! Why can’t queers march in New York?” Or at least that was the favored chant in the Queer Corral, which is what …

From Boys To Men, which includes my story Terrence, has been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award for Best Anthology. Congratulations to the editors, Ted Gideonse and Rob Williams, and my fellow writers.

Hillary Clinton continued her campaign for gay support yesterday, speaking at the GMHC 25th anniversary gala at Chelsea Piers. The event, which raised almost $900,000 for GMHC, was also attended by former NJ governor Jim McGreevey, Larry Kramer, Rosie O’Donnell, and other luminaries. Among the evening’s honorees was Matilde Krim, founding chairman of AMFAR.

Openly gay Iraq vet Eric Alva appeared on CNN’s Paula Zahn Wednesday night to challenge Gen. Peter Pace on DADT..

New York Governor Elliot Spitzer has announced that he will not march in tomorrow’s NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the first NY governor to skip the parade in over a decade. Although Spitzer doesn’t specifically cite the parade’s ban on gays as his reason, his refusal to participate is consistent with his vigorous support of LGBT rights. Spitzer has promised …

“It ain’t gonna happen.” – Kenny Goss, partner of George Michael, saying he absolutely would not participate in the British version of TV show Wife Swap. Producers are said to be considering approaching Elton John and David Furnish instead. Maybe Goss is just upset at being the “wife”? I was looking forward to seeing how George Michael’s replacement wife dealt …

National Gay & Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum were arrested for civil disobedience in today’s ACT-UP/Queer Justice League demonstration against the “immoral” comments of Joint Chief’s Chairman Peter Pace.

One night last summer, I had a hard time sleeping so I took an Ambien. When I got up in the morning, on my kitchen counter I found an untouched bag of Chinese food and a delivery ticket. Apparently, during my sleep, I got up and called the Chinese joint on my corner and had some pork lo mein delivered, …

After being criticized yesterday by gay groups for her weak condemnation of Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace calling gays “immoral”, Sen. Hillary Clinton issued a more strongly worded follow-up statement: “I disagree with what he said and do not share his view, plain and simple,” the Senator said. “It is inappropriate to inject such personal views into this public …

Grandmothers Against The War staked out their weekly lonely afternoon vigil on 5th Avenue in front of Rockefeller Center today, as always largely ignored by both tourists and office workers, who cast them scarcely a glance as they bustled onward to the food court and discount souvenir t-shirts.

Here’s Holy Ghost, one of the baddest pieces of funk ever to good-foot out of Stax Records, from the immortal Bar-Kays, who are still p-funking up the joint today, 41 years after they formed in 1966, despite four members being killed in the same plane crash that killed Otis Redding. This song is for our boy Foxy, who is home …

“ACT UP is the most successful grass roots organization that ever lived. Period. There never was, never has been one more successful that has achieved as much as we. We did it before. We can do it again. But to be successful, activism must be practiced every day. By a lot of people. It made us proud once. It united …

Last night I saw the movie 300, which I found gorgeously photographed, populated by innumerable beautiful men, and really, really, really awful. Ripped directly from the Lord Of The Rings canon of computer-multiplied hordes, freakish creatures, and interminable sword fights, the only thing that saved this movie from being a complete waste of time were the hot men and their …

“This kind of prejudice is going to continue to have a direct impact on our national security as we allow qualified gay men and women to lose their jobs for no good reason. This policy, and General Pace’s bigotry, is outdated, unnecessary and counter to the same American values our soldiers are giving their lives for each and every day.” …

Donnie Davies, perpetrator of the most hilarious hoax in gay blogosphere history, will be playing this weekend’s SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas, with his band Evening Service. “Stroke the power” and “watch Donnie cock-block the Dark Lord on his own turf.” I love the poster, check out Satan’s pink jockstrap and hot bod. I wonder if anybody at next …
