Janet – Rock With U

Let’s close out today’s 80’s icons love fest with some Janet Jackson. Island hasn’t sent me the track yet, so head over to Janet’s site where a pop-up player will stream her next two singles, Rock With U (not a remake of MJ’s song by the same name, thankfully) and Luv. Man, I freekin’ love the Rock With U track. …

Ad Shilling To Die For

You may recall Joseph R. Gannascoli, who played the gay mafioso Vito Spatafore on HBO’s The Sopranos.

Fired!

Well, I guess the homo rehab and that GLAAD-sponsored PSA didn’t quite do the trick, because ABC has fired Isaiah Washington from Grey’s Anatomy. He will not be returning for the fourth season of the smash hit show. McSteamy and McDreamy are just gonna somehow have to do without McShithead. I’m sure T.R. Knight will issue a polite regret about …

Homo Phobo Rehab? Puh-leeze!

I haven’t said anything about the Isaiah Washington issue until now, because aside from the fact that he’s an actor I’d never heard of, from a show I’ve never watched, it’s just NOT that important a story in the grand scheme of gay activism.
