Joe.My.God. LGBT News

You know, this whole “vote for the worst” thing isn’t going to be very much fun if Sanjaya turns out to be, you know, good. Dial Idol has him placing 5th out of eight.

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards has begun aggressively courting the gay vote, releasing the names of 25 prominent LGBT Americans who are supporting his campaign. Edwards: “I am honored to have the support of so many well-respected LGBT leaders. They work hard every day to make our country a better place and I am proud to join with them to …

Tonight I’ll be calling numbers at Will Clark’s Porno Bingo, which will benefit NYC’s Gotham Knights gay rugby club. The event begins at 9PM in Hell’s Kitchen at the Ninth Avenue Bistro. What does one wear to porno bingo? I have a feeling that by the end of the night, I’ll be a little tipsy. “Beeee-ssssheven!”

The New York School Of Interior Design, located on the Upper East Side, is a private, not-for-profit college. The school motto is “We’re just not feeling this window treatment.” Right now the school is having an exhibit on the history of “prefabricated housing”. Since I live just down the block, I think I’m going to stop in and revisit my …

Have I complained about the weather yet? Have I complained about the radiators in my apartment making more noise than the annual Ghosts of Christmas Past convention?
