My Interview With Jo-Vanni Roman

Around 1am this morning I got tipped by one of the guys at Unzipped that Jo-Vanni Roman was finally ready to speak with me. Five minutes later I had him on the phone from Fort Lauderdale, but not before I alerted Father Tony to be ready to rush over to him immediately for a video interview. Jo-Vanni declined to meet …

NARTH: Our George Rekers Might Be A Dirty Homo, But We Still Hate Queers

NARTH has responded to the prostitution scandal enveloping their star performer, Dr. George Rekers. While NARTH is focused on the science of homosexual attraction, personal controversies often deepen the existing cultural divide on this issue.

HomoQuotable – Alan Chambers

“Despite the familiar human desire to throw the stone in my hand at Dr. Rekers, I cannot. He is a human who seems to have made a mistake. He is a Christian who seems to be guilty of practicing what he has preached against. It is that fact that alone causes the deepest feelings of anger to arise no matter …

University Of South Carolina Erases Dr. George Rekers From Their Site

Whoops, who used to occupy this faculty page for the University of South Carolina? Man overboard! Box Turtle Bulletin’s Timothy Kincaid asks: I’m curious as to the exact criteria for removing any mention of Dr. Rekers. Was it because the University of South Carolina was delighted to have an anti-gay activist as a respected and privileged emeritus professor, but not …

Orrin Hatch On “Abysmal” Airport Security

As much as it grievously pains me to agree with Orrin Hatch on anything, it does seem unbelievable that one can buy an airline ticket in cash, at the counter, with no luggage, and stroll onto a flight to the Middle East (or anywhere) without further attention.

Today In Journalistic Racism

The Awl reports that Long Island’s Smithtown Messenger has created a before-and-after photo essay to demonstrate how the stress of the presidency affects the faces of presidents and first ladies.

Tweet Of The Day

It’s a criticism worth discussing and one that I (probably too glibly) addressed yesterday on Signorile’s show. As I noted in a post on Tuesday, I had decided to cloak Geo/Lucien/Jo-Vanni’s identity, but once he was revealed on Unzipped, that plan, obviously, became moot. I’ve also been criticized for using the words “hooker” and “prostitute,” rather than the more PC …

Lady Gaga Does Idol

Towleroad tips us to this clip of Lady Gaga’s gay-gay-gay performance on American Idol last night. BTW, some of you have written wondering why I haven’t been covering Idol every week this year as I did over the last three seasons. No special reason, other than I figured the nonstop RuPaul coverage was enough silly television for your delicate nerves.
