Thursday, 11amReceptionist: Joe, someone’s calling you from the Gay Attack Force. Do you want to take it? Joe: Wow! Cool! Who are they? Yes, I’ll take it. Caller: Hi, Joe. It’s Marci from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Joe (disappointed): Oh, hello..

The first blog I ever read regularly was Diablo Cody’s Pussy Ranch, in which she frankly chronicled her life as a bisexual stripper in Minneapolis. Pussy Ranch was raunchy, enlightening and hilarious. I even sent her a couple of fan e-mails back in 2003. Now Cody has a book and a movie deal. A couple of years ago she announced …

Adding to the woes of WorldPride, who just had to cancel their parade, a coalition of 22 gay organizations has called for a boycott of their events. The coalition includes Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism, Queers For Peace And Justice, and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Additionally, religious leaders in Jerusalem are organizing an anti-gay counterprotest which may draw as many as …

Three years ago, when construction crews broke ground at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, I was quite excited to see what would arise. After all, that intersection is one of the most famous in the world, and the other corners are gorgeously anchored by the Main Library and by 500 Fifth, one of my favorite buildings …

After happy hour with Aaron and RJ at Grand Central’s Cipriani, I ran into openly gay New York Attorney General candidate Sean Maloney and he was kind enough to pose for a photo. According to RJ, I now look like the “firechief of Itchboro, New Jersey”. Must be the mustache.

Nicolas Cage…as Liberace? I’m just not seeing it. Does somebody smell the hype from this year’s Oscars (Brokeback, Capote, Transamerica)? And he’s directing it himself. Oh goodie. (via – SFgate.com)

I took this on the way back from lunch today. Despite what you saw in The Day After Tomorrow, the Beaux-Arts Main Library doesn’t have revolving doors, nor does it face south. The famous lions out front were named “Patience” and “Fortitude” by Mayor LaGuardia in the 1930’s, as that’s what he thought New Yorkers would need to get through …

Robbie Williams is dueting with Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant on a single called She’s Madonna, the title taken from what Guy Ritchie told his then-girlfriend Tania Strecker as he dumped her, “Look, you know I really love you, but she’s Madonna.” According to The Mirror, Madonna green-lighted the single when Williams played it for her and he hopes to …

Staying on the topic of Georgios Panayiotou, check out my buddy Mike Atkinson, aka Troubled Diva, aka Stylus Magazine music reviewer, for his scathing review of George Michael’s new single, An Easier Affair. Oooh, it ain’t pretty.

I love this. The Christianist nutjobs over at World Net Daily have got their choir robes in a twist over NBC’s having had Queer Eye cast member Carson Kressley provide color commentary during last night’s Miss Universe pageant. With the top-of-page banner headline: “Breaking News: NBC struts ‘gay’ jokes all over Miss Universe”, the lead reads: “With some of the …

“Are you gay? No? Then fuck off! This is my culture!” -George Michael, screaming at News Of The World photographers who caught him having sex in the bushes on London’s notoriously cruisy Hampstead Heath. George isn’t wrong about park cruising being part of gay life worldwide (The Rambles, Buena Vista, Meat Rack, etc), although calling it “culture” is a bit …

Leave it to us gay homosexuals for pushing the boundries of modern sport at the just concluded Chicago Gay Games, where competitors tested the limits of their bodies in a myriad of brutal sports such as billiards, bowling, darts, air hockey, and Ms. Pac-Man. Makes sense, since so much of our life is spent in bars. And any sport that …

WorldPride has been forced to cancel their August 10th march, aftering being denied a parade permit by Jerusalem police, who claim that the escalating war in Lebanon make them unable to provide WorldPride the “extensive security” needed to protect marchers from anti-gay protesters. WorldPride organizers intend to carry on with all other events, including the film festival and shows, and …

Bed Bath & Beyond, Chelsea, Saturday 2PMTwo gay men are arguing in the bedding section… Queer 1: That doesn’t match the duvet. Queer 2: I don’t care, I like it and I’m getting it. Nobody sees MY bed anyway. Queer 1: It’s going to look stupid, you’ll be sorry. Let’s keep looking. Queer 2: Shut up. Like it fucking matters …

OK class, settle down. Everybody take out their Big Book Of Camp Icons. Turn to Chapter 11, Big-Haired TV Girls Of The 80’s. On the right hand page, right under Heather Locklear and Delta Burke, you’ll find Lisa Welchel, “Blair” from The Facts Of Life. Now take out a big black magic marker and CROSS THAT BITCH OUT.

Yes, kids. A Broadway show that I am dying to see. Kiki & Herb, the beloved SF institution that moved to NYC years ago, will open at the Helen Hayes Theatre on August 11th. For the uninitiated, Kiki, a boozy septuagenarian lounge singer, is the nom de drag of Justin Bond and Herb is her gay retarded Jewish pianist, played …

I rather like this boxy metal-clad neighbor of the Chrysler Building. I’m usually pleased by anything that isn’t a glass box.

What’s the last song that played on your iPod or iTunes? And no cheating to make yourself look hip..
