What is with with right wing nutbags and death threats? Now Susan Sarandon says she’s gotten some too. How soon before someone gets killed just for being liberal? 

It’s late, and normally I wouldn’t be blogging now, but I was just reading Margaret Cho’s blog post about splitting with her business partner, and this passage just jumped out at me.
Ultimately, I had to leave because she made me feel awful about myself, […]

Is anybody gonna tell Faith Hill and Tim McGraw to shut up and sing?

So much for the great gay lovefest at the Oscars. Our coveted golden boy, like so many other men before, slunk out in the middle of the night without even leaving a twenty on the dresser. But, that doesn’ t mean things necessarily look worse in the cold light of morning, not if you look […]

Anderson Cooper has a blog. I have a crush on Anderson Cooper. Thus, he just joined my blogroll. Does he need a link from me? Nope. Can I stop myself from giving him one? Nope.

If you’ve read this blog for a while, you know how I feel about Anderson Cooper. So, you can imagine that this video kinda made my day. So, I offer it this evening for everyone’s enjoyment.

And Hollywood, and just about anywhere else that culture, art, and homosexuality intersect. Because they just can’t handle it. I’ve been reading various reports about the controversy that gay actor and activist Chad Allen’s star turn in the missionary flick End of the Spear is causing in fundamentalist circles.

It would be funny if these […]

It’s one of the more mystifying things I’ve noticed about this blog since I started it. One of the most popular posts — and the one with the most comments — is a totally non-political one that’s little more than a list of who I thought the sexiest men alive were at the time.

Why […]

I’ve written about this before, but yesterdayI experienced a moment of cultural schizophrenia so funny that I couldn’t pass up making note of it here. It started this morning when I scanned my newsfeeds and came across this CNN piece suggesting that American Idol is developing a “mean streak.”
Fox’s talent contest regularly has made an […]

I’ve been at home with the kid all day, so not much in the way of extensive blogging today (except for a post I wrote last night), but this proved an interesting diversion. If you go to myheritage.com and upload a picture, they’ll analyze it and tell you which celebrities you resemble. I tried […]

I have to admit, I have a fascination with a certain movie genre. I have for years, actually. It started years ago when I came across The Rapture at my local Blockbusters, and rented it as soon as I read the summary.  As soon as I found out that Kirk Cameron  was staring in the […]

Imagine, for a moment, anyone saying stuff like this today.

I clicked when I shouldn’t have clicked, and for that I’m truly sorry. But misery loves company, so here it is. Click if you dare.

This is just one of those things I can’t help but point out, because the idea hit me as soon as I read it. The connections are just too interesting not to mention it. Independent Sources leans somewhat to the right, but I check it out every once in a while, and happened across their […]

I got one comment about Noah’s Arc — the Logo network’s show about the lives of a group of black gay male friends — being in danger of cancellation. I haven’t found any concrete information about that, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
And that’s not a statement about the quality of the show. In […]
