“I don’t even think there is bad taste anymore. American humor is bad taste — that’s what we import, that’s what television is about, reality television is based on that. I think it kind of ruined bad taste, because you’re asked to feel superior to the subject matter, which I don’t think I ever do. I think I always look …

“I’d heard that a lot of professional actors were gay. Acting seemed like a chance for me to meet like-minded people. You know, at that time same-sex love in Britain got you into prison. Homosexuality was being completely hushed up. Gay teachers, politicians or firemen – that was something unthinkable. When I was young I thought I was the only …

This is Michael DiMartino, whose sign language dance clips I’ve posted here several times, performing original music under the stage name, Chase. Here’s his site.

“It is my contention that Ramin Seetodeh is not happy with himself. He has particular shame about being gay. He sees gayness, particularly open and unabashed gayness, or effeminacy, as a reminder of what he does not like about himself. And so he attacks it. His own shame translates into his paralysis when thinking of others who might have his …

Impossible as it may seem, Glee even outgayed itself last night with Kurt’s performance of Rose’s Turn from Gypsy. And you just gotta love the lyric change to “Everything’s coming up homo!” Sing out, Louise! And move over, Patti and Bernadette. (But not Ethel!) I’ll add the actual clip to this post when it goes up on Hulu.

Pogo, the 21 year-old musical genius from Perth, Australia, whose trippily gorgeous compositions using vocal samples from classic movies have captivated us for the last couple of years, has done it again. Using the sounds of his mother’s garden and samples of her voice, here is his Mother’s Day tribute, Gardyn. RELATED: While his YouTube channel continues to carry his …
