I’m off for three days of gay gay gay camping in the Poconos at Hillside Campground with Aaron, Chris, and the Thruple. It happens to be their “Hog Ranch” weekend, a prospect which would have thrilled me ten years ago, but today makes me rather apprehensive. Strange. As my back has been wrecked for several days, I’m planning on parking …

Spurred by Michelangelo Signorile’s withering appraisal of Merv Griffin’s legacy as a closeted gay man, the Hollywood Reporter yesterday published a column posthumously outing Griffin, something the mainstream media had failed to do definitively, despite some making references to Griffin’s sexual harassment and gay palimony lawsuits. After reading Signorile’s post and stewing over it a couple a days, I appeared …

During the summertime, Central Park’s Hans Christian Anderson statue is the location for authors reading live from new original works.

Over the last year, I’ve written a couple of times about Manhattan Mini-Storage’s billboard campaigns, which comment amusingly on a broad range of social and pop culture issues, ranging from the government’s wiretapping to Paris Hilton and the Queer Eye guys. Their latest series, which started a few months ago, is beginning to cause a lot of upset among pro-lifers, …

Incensed, Ken devised this response: He zipped out the door and bought a beautiful long oval copper-plated fish poaching dish from …

“Gay people who are raised in a religious environment, a conservative religious environment are basically told, ‘You’re not good enough / you don’t belong here / you need to change / you need to be something else.’ And so, in a lot of our lives, we end up leaving the church and hating God or hating Religion or hating the …

I’m kinda heavy on the videos today, but I cannot resist sharing last night’s Daily Show take on last week’s Visible Vote ’08 forum. Remember last year when I asked who was gay America’s best straight ally? Yup, still Jon Stewart.

Local Buddhists went to Chinatown and purchased $7000 worth of live eels, turtles, and frogs and then set them free in the Passaic River – in the hopes of improving their karma. The New Jersey EPA will be rebalancing their karmic windfall with a $1000 fine for releasing non-native species into an open environment. Existence is suffering. For idiots, especially …
