Having had the opportunity to meet Lt. Dan Choi at the Los Angeles Proposition 8 protest at the end of May, I’m all the more saddened to learn that he has fallen victim to the idiotic policy “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” I admire this man so much, and am in full support of his effort [...]

Stonewall: 40 Years
June 28, 2009
The Stonewall Riots started in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969. Riots that brought to light a new resistance to police brutality against gay people. Riots that sparked a movement to bring freedom and justice to a small but vibrant community so that subsequent generations of gay people would find a better, safer, [...]
Fashionmista Friday: Don’t Shoot Me
June 19, 2009
It’s been way too long since I’ve done a Fashionmista Friday post, and I was reminded of this by a reader who emailed me the following:
Phil,
You have been very remiss on the latest in fashion footware. I am including the latest for your edification.
These heels were originally designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and [...]
Remembering the Holocaust should unite, not divide
June 15, 2009
File this under “things that should not be.” Brooklynites are arguing over who has the right to be memorialized at a new Holocaust Memorial of stones.
A plan to memorialize gay male victims of Nazism amid a collection of memorial stones for Holocaust victims in a quiet half-acre patch of Brooklyn has provoked an outcry.
New York [...]
Evolutionarily Gay
June 13, 2009
Since it’s been all the talk of social conservative extremists these days, let’s talk a little psychology. Watch any news broadcast and you’ll hear folks going on about how there’s no genetic component to homosexuality because we’ve seen no proof. Which is fine in my book, because were we to actually find said proof, social [...]
Kathy Griffin FTW
June 11, 2009
I love Kathy Griffin. I was excited to see the picture of her and her mother at the Prop 8 protest in West Hollywood in May, since I was there literally right next to them by the stage. And yes, her mother is gorgeous.
Just gay it!

You can check out the Apple’s own version of their information here, and if you’d like to read reviews and commentary from a variety of sources, Gizmodo has a [...]
Oh Maggie, I think an intervention is in order
June 3, 2009
Oh, Maggie Gallagher. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. We need to talk sweetie. See, I totally respect your right to your opinion about marriage and all that, but I think there’s a deeper issue you have here. At first I thought I was merely speculating, but the more I saw you, the more I realized it’s true: [...]
And now we may celebrate in the month we’ve always celebrated
June 2, 2009
In a little tidbit of gay-friendly news, Obama is celebrating gay pride with us this year, following in Bill Clinton’s footsteps by publicly saying so:
“LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, [...]
