Buddha Pears!
This is way cool Some farmer in China has spent the last few years perfecting the process of growing pears to look like little buddhas. Apparently, shaping fruits is fairly common, and involves using molds to grow them. Pretty amazing.
Little boys aren't the only thing priests are...
As someone who grew up Catholic, I found this article very interesting. It is about a priest who carried on an affair with a woman for a number of years, and fathered a son who now has cancer. The Church paid her a lot of money to keep her quiet, and she had to sign some pretty severe confidentiality agreements. And of course, they did nothing to the priest but move him around to different...
No Lesbians in the Yearbook
So this dashing young lesbian wanted to put the above picture in her high school year book, saying she prefers to wear boy’s clothes and didn’t want to wear a dress. The school won’t let her, and now the ACLU is taking up the case. Good luck to her. Being an out lesbian in high school in Mississippi is hard enough, without this happening…
Gay Vampire?
So Esquire has an article proffering a new theory as to why there are suddenly all these vampire movies/shows/books. I was wondering the same thing, but I didn’t come up with there idea: apparently it’s all because straight women want to have sex with gay men. Does this make any sense to you? They say it’s something about gay high schoolers being really awkward, and having...

NYC Hate Crime
I was out of town last weekend, so I missed most of this, but there was a pretty horrible beating of a gay man (who ended up in a coma). The suspect is in custody, but his friend is now speaking to the news claiming that it was not a hate crime, and they didn’t target the man because he’s gay. Sorry bud, it’s kinda hard to take you seriously when you have a GIANT Leviticus...
Ken Jennings
Sooo it looks like the House Republicans are joining the Fox News commentators on this one…I thought this story wasn’t going anywhere, and it was just one of those ideas pushed by Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck to discredit Obama.
If you don’t know, Ken Jennings is the ‘safe school czar’ and he was also the former head of GLSEN (gay and lesbian student education...
Dumbledore would love it
If you love Harry Potter, then you know that Dumbledore is a big homo. So the Harry Potter Alliance, a Massachusetts-based group “dedicated to bringing the themes of Harry Potter into the real world” announced an effort to help the fight against Prop 1 in Maine (which would ban gay marriage there). They are planning a concert with Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys (two...
Scrutinizing the gays
I’m a regular follower of the legal fights that gay rights groups are working on, so I’ve been particularly interested in the Perry case. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a challenge to Prop 8 and is led by Ted Olson and David Boies, who are two all stars in the legal world (And opponents in Bush v. Gore). Today, Judge Walker denied a motion to dismiss the...

Oh Meghan
Meghan McCain is in an uproar and threatening to quit twitter because people are upset over the “spontaneous” picture she uploaded. Apparently she did not realize that posting a close-up of her huge boobs would upset some people. Oh Meghan. Let me speak to you directly:
I think you’re great. You’re a young Republican and yet you speak out for gay rights. You say...

Roommate Sex?
This story went around the news cycle a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t have a blog then, so I’m going to comment now. The story is about how Tufts University instituted a “no sex while your roommate is there” policy. One would assume that no official policy would be necessary, and that the old “sock-on-the-doorknob” would work. Apparently, though, there...
