Led by Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson, tonight thousands of LGBT activists and allies gathered in a gentle rain in Manhattan’s Washington Square to join in a beautifully muted and mournful rendition of Over The Rainbow in honor of LGBT youth. You might need a tissue for this recording made by JMG reader Richard. I’ll follow this post with some photos, …

Over at Boy Culture, Matthew Rettenmund tips us to this really cute clip of four Filipino gay boys reacting to Miss Philippines making the top fifteen at last night’s Miss Universe pageant. Tuesday morning pageantbacks are saying that it was her question response that lost her the crown.

Last night’s 20th annual installment of Broadway Bares was nonstop gay gay gay insanity. Performers included Euan Morton, Kevin Chamerlin, Charles Busch, Lucy Lui, Cheyenne Jackson, Kristen Chenoweth, Katie Finneran, Alan Cumming, Bruce Vilanch, Vanessa Williams and about two hundred mostly-naked chorus boys (and gals). I never thought I’d see the Roseland Ballroom even more packed than during a Black …

An impressive group of state and national LGBT organizations have expressed their support for Jo-Vanni Roman, the Miami rentboy caught in the middle of the best/worst scandal to hit the anti-gay political machine in years.

Olympian Johnny Weir lobbed another “fuck you” at the queenphobic skating world tonight, competing in a hot pink and lace-trimmed costume with a neckline that plunged to his navel. Then he concluded his routine by blowing dainty kisses to the crowd. Weir’s score in the short program…not so great. His score for in-your-face fabulosity…through the roof!

His Bette Davis impression kills.

I posted this last year, but longtime reader Jeff in Fort Lauderdale suggests it’s worthy of a rerun. Totally.

At last night’s marriage rally in Times Square, a family of tourists passed by the protesters’ pen with the mother shaking her head in disapproval at the activists. That prompted a trio of protesting women to alter their chant. “Leggings on are not pants! Leggings are not pants!” I love my people.

Today I was finally able to sit down and sort through a few hundred photos and put together a slideshow and upload a couple of videos from Sunday’s epic Remember The Party event in San Francisco, where as you can see above, the event’s promoters even tipped my birthday on a banner over the dance floor. What an incredible night! …

At my birthday dinner in the Castro last night, in the presence of about 25 dear friends from around the country, my loyal companion Aaron stood and delivered a lovely speech, after which San Franciscan Leif Wauters unveiled a plaque from Mayor Gavin Newsom declaring October 10th as “Joe Jervis Day in San Francisco.” ::thud:: As those who know me …
