Walt Disney has announced that its Fairy Tale Wedding package will now be available to gay couples, meaning that LGBT folks can stage ceremonies at either U.S. resort or on their cruise line. No word on whether they are changing the name of the wedding package (which starts at $8000), but let’s hope they don’t. If I got married at …

Yesterday Malcontent announced the winner of this year’s March Gayness blogger showdown, and it am me. At first it appeared that I’d won by one vote, which would have been so Bush 2000, but it turns out that voting had closed earlier when I had a bigger lead.

Next Wednesday I’ll be calling numbers at Will Clark’s Porno Bingo at Hell’s Kitchen’s Ninth Avenue Bistro. The event benefits NYC’s Gotham Knights rubgy club, a team that I’ve actually trekked outer-borough to see, thanks to a few buddies that play for them. Also appearing at Porno Bingo will be gay porn reviewer Vincent Lambert (NSFW). I expect heavy drinking …

In 1981, my friend and I followed the B-52’s around Florida on their Wild Planet tour, seeing them 9 times in about two weeks. I think I’d pick their show at Tampa’s Agora Ballroom that year.
