It's that time of year when gay jocks start emerging outdoors. With flag football kicking off Saturday, we found Martin Pichler as a suitable sports-themed Morning Fix to help get you in a sport frame of mind. ...

Rain comes and rain goes. But like Celine Dion’s “Titanic” song, the Gay Agenda events calendar goes on and on (and on). Friday’s listings take you from dinner and drinks through to the arts and parties. ...

The Campus Chatter blog over at ABC news reports that Syracuse University has appointed Mary Hudson as Pagan chaplain for the campus.  This is a somewhat historic event, as the blogger explains:That makes Hudson, 50, the second pagan chaplain appointed at a U.S. college. The only other known school to have a pagan chaplain is the University of Southern Maine.  Internationally there are a few in Canada, Australia, and the UK.I find this good news and take some comfort and pride that this appointment took place not only in my state of residence, but at a university a ...

In January, we told you how the PFOX was crowing about a supposed win involving Disney which pertained to their right to propose a shareholder resolution that would force the Mouse House to officially list "ex-gays." At the time, we pooh-poohed PFOX's press release on the grounds that it wasn't of any consequence whatsoever. True to group form, they were simply trying to turn a minor, procedural molehill into some kind of "ex-gay"-validating mountain, and we weren't having any of it. Well fast forward to this week. Professional "ex-gay" Greg Quinlan went to Disney to present the aforementioned shareholder ...

Here you can view an interactive 26-gigapixel panorama of Paris. This one's a notch or two above any previous multi-gigapixel panoramas I've seen. First, the resolution is even better. But in addition, there are more interactive elements and they are explained! Several major landmarks are labeled with an Info icon which you can click. There's also an index of landmarks. Click one and the image zooms in to the landmark. On the down side, it has cheezy music. On the up side, the cheezy music can be turned off. One question I have is if someone can identify for ...

I’d like to start out with the guys this week, only because Lee Dewyze sang Fireflies. If you don’t recall – this was my song recommendation that I talked about only a few days ago. I think Lee did a satisfactory job with the song, and obviously enough to get him into the Top 12 – but I seriously think that his look was enough to get him in there even if he’d done a worse job. But now that I’ve talked about Lee, let’s carry on with the rest of the contestants. Ladies: The only two worth mentioning ...

Perhaps as a lead-in to their broadcast of Her Name Was Steven documentary this weekend, Anderson Cooper talked to Chaz Bono about his gender transition from female to male.Watch, AFTER THE JUMP... ...

Nhojj has the #1 video on MTV's Top100 list. And he's openly gay. Born in Guyana but raised in Trinidad, he has a degree in Economics from NYU. And now he is being considered the vanguard of a gay music revolution by Billboard magazine. Represent! Here's the award-winning video for the song called "Love." ...

This week in pop culture and law is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan and her quest to sue E-Trade for airing this commercial:Lindsay claims the commercial infringes on her right of publicity (a celebrity's right to prevent others from profiting from her name, likeness, voice, or image without paying for it). Why? Because the ad refers to a "milk-a-holic Lindsay" and whenever we hear the name "Lindsay," we automatically think of Lindsay Lohan. Puhlease, it's not like that baby has red hair, a DJ girlfriend, a self-tanning product, leggings, a history or car wrecks, or a DUI. That, ...

Doesn't anyone else find it rather suspicious that suddenly, after a little media coverage, Toyotas seem to be running amok? Either the cars have all be "activated" by a secret transmission that turned on their KILL ALL HUMANS function, or people who couldn't get on reality shows 'cos they didn't have a big foil balloon have found a new path to notoriety. Woman Crashes Toyota Into Church, Blames Stuck Accelerator Connecticut, March 10 Yet Another Toyota Prius Goes Rogue, Smashes Into Wall New York, March 9 Toyota Prius Runs Wild At 90mph With Stuck Accelerator San Diego, March 8 etc... etc... Funny how this ...

Smoking cigarette glasses! Studded g-strings! Telephone hair! I... I... I don't have the vocabulary to explain these things to you. Just watch. It's a nutty new world that Gaga and Jonas Ackerlund have created, featuring hot jailhouse lesbians, hippie biker bars, and MURDER. Not quite as catchy or iconic as "Bad Romance" but folds nicely into her growing canon of work. LOVED IT! What do you think? Worth the four months of waiting, and ten minutes of running time? ...

God, I love Bryan Safi. My boyfriend returns with a new “That’s Gay.” And delves deep into the underground world of bitchy gay fashionistas who are kept caged 11 months out of the year only to be unleashed on unsuspecting women during award show season. That dress? Those shoes? Sic ‘em! ...

You would think that being a flight attendant I’d be on time for my flight to Newark, NJ.  I didn’t have to be there to work the flight but as an “other airline nonrev” I can check in with the gate agent one hour prior to departure, and, with how full New York City area flights usually get, I definitely wanted to get there and put my name on the standby list as soon as possible. The flight was scheduled to leave at 4:05pm MST, but I could have sworn it was supposed to leave at 4:30pm. So, I showed ...

NYC has an out City Council Speaker. That's pretty inspiring for local LGBT kids, letting them know that they can be whatever they want to be, and that nobody's biases against them are allowed to stop their dreams. Especially since virtually nobody in the five boroughs has ever turned Christine Quinn's seat into a controversy simply because of her sexual orientation. That's just not the spirit of New York City. But leave it to the self-appointed moral authoritarians on the religious right to take what the vast majority of Big Apple residents have come to know as benign, easy, peace, and ...

Listen to Errington Thompson on Blog Talk Radio Today at 5 pm EST. I’ll have Heidi Shierholz from the Economic Policy Institute. I will also have Andy Coates from Physicians for a National Healthcare Program. This is going to be a GREAT show. Now, this is truly Progressive Radio. ...

As everybody knows by now representative Eric Massa resigned on Monday. The reasons for his resignation have changed over the week. Initially, he was resigning because of health reasons. Then the Dems were pushing him out over his healthcare vote (he voted against it). As the week unfolded, more and more allegations of sexual inappropriateness and groping with male staffers have come to light. Republicans saw this as an opening and immediately tried to blame Nancy Pelosi and stated that she knew more than she let on and tried to cover it up. ...
