If you haven’t gotten around to Monday night’s episode, stay out of the comments on this post. If you have, let’s dish this week’s disastrous challenge and the elimination.

Even if you aren’t a regular viewer of RuPaul’s Drag Race, you may want to set your DVR for tonight’s episode when Henry Rollins guest judges.

Ugh. Another gay trend piece, this one from the New York Observer. Apparently, some people don’t know when somebody is gay! And some gay guys deliberately dress butch! Fascinating! In his own job as a bartender at Lavish Lounge, a gay bar in Queens, Tom Karl, 25, routinely gets mistaken as straight even though he could not be more entrenched …

Don’t click on the comments if your tired buttocks haven’t gotten around to Monday’s episode. If you have, let’s dish the elimination and the challenge winner.

A nurse in Florida has been fired and told he can no longer work in his profession because his employers discovered that he was busted for “promoting a lewd performance.” That horrific act? Working as the drag queen emcee of a wet jockey shorts contest 34 years ago. From South Florida Gay News: For the past 15 years, Ray Fetcho …

Season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race debuts tonight on Logo at 9pm. We all got a little too wrapped up in last season, with some of you screaming bloody murder when we discussed the eliminations before you got around to watching your damn ass DVR. (I’ll admit that I screamed a little when I ran into Nina Flowers on the …

For those of you still stinging from last night’s atrocious Taylor Swift-Stevie Nicks duet at the Grammy’s, JMG reader Jimbo tips us that tickets have gone on sale for the 20th annual Night Of A Thousand Stevies, NYC’s famed drag homage to the White Witch. Night of a Thousand Stevies is probably the best-known STEVIE NICKS fan event in the …

Via producers Jonny “The Gay Pimp” McGovern and Adam Joseph comes this Kevin Aviance cover of Britney Spears’ Gimme More. To date, Aviance has scored five #1 hits on Billboard’s dance chart. Aviance has bounded back from his brutal 2006 gay bashing in NYC, after which all four of his cowardly assailants received prison sentences of up to 15 years.

The legendary Jackie Beat is really really NSFW.

Simon Doonan, the openly gay creative director of Barney’s, was hired last month to decorate the White House for the holidays. Cue the wingnuts, who are now completely losing their shit because of a few ornaments Doonan hung on one of the White House’s many Christmas trees. Adorning one of the ornaments is a signed photo from NYC drag star …

RuPaul is promoting the second season of her hit LOGO series Rupaul’s Drag Race with a dig at Sarah Palin. If you recall, I got ridiculously engrossed in last season’s show – to the point where I actually squealed a little bit when I met the out-of-drag Nina Flowers on the dance floor at the Black Party. Season two begins …

Have you ever done drag? Even just for Halloween?

Just weeks after they fired a staffer for writing a homophobic email, Atlanta’s Morehouse College has issued a new dress code banning its all-male student body from wearing women’s clothes. Surprisingly, the college’s gay student group endorsed the change. No dress-wearing is part of a larger dress code launched this week that Morehouse College is calling its “Appropriate Attire Policy.” …

I watched this about ten times last night on Live Leak, where the comments are great. Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of transvestites picked on the wrong men – when their intended victims turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress. Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, singled out …

Before he enrolled, school officials at a Kennesaw, Georgia high school assured Jonathan Escobar, 16, that he would be allowed to cross-dress as he pleased. But after a fight erupted between one of Jonathan’s supporters and one of his tormentors, the school told him that he was in violation of their “no disruptive clothing” policy. He dropped out after four …

San Francisco drag legend Donna Sachet made history last week when she became the first drag performer to sing the national anthem at a major league baseball game. The home team Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4. I think this is the first time I’ve seen Donna without her trademark red dress.
