2009 was a tough year. Major setbacks in marriage equality, corrupt banks, derailed health care reform, and little support for gay rights from President Obama left millions of Americans asking where’s the hope?

Sources inside the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez leaked to Andy that Ms. Alvarez will not prosecute the creep for framing gay people with false DUI charges just to rake in overtime to pad his big fat pockets.

Also- Sarah Palin gets a job as a commentator on Fox, surprising no one.

The incredible shrinking gay journalist.

During the winter holidays people from all backgrounds come together to share in their common humanity.

Even folks like Senator Orrin Hatch. When he’s not busy fighting marriage equality earning a big fat zero in support of the gays from the Human Rights Campaign or halting health care reform, the Mormon Senator from Utah likes to record music, on his own label. And this Christmas season he has a song for the Jews!

But watch out, first he’ll have you singing about Hanukkah and then it’s a slippery slope into Christmas carols, then you’ll be born again.

longhorn-xmasComedian and auteur Keith Ecker joins us to read an essay about growing up Jewish but non-religious in the ultra-conservative Dallas, Texas.

Listen to Keith’s story about how his family had the only house on the cul-de-sac not to have plastic Longhorn cattle dressed up in Christmas lights.

Keith is hosting Essay Fiesta, a reading series, every 3rd Monday of the month at 7 PM at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square.

Shivian-Chris-web-DEC2009

You may not know it, but Christmas, like a lot of holidays, traces its origins back to ancient Pagan celebrations.

The Babylonians with their Feast of the Son of Isis and the Romans with their Winter Solstice all celebrated the lengthening of the days with parties, dinners and gift giving events.

Yule logs, mistletoe, wreaths and even Santa Claus all date back years before the Romans declared Christianity their official religion. Lutherans in the 1500s even considered Christmas trees a blasphemy!

So do Christians now owe pagans back royalties for copyright infringement?

We’re bringing some nutty holiday cheer on today’s show with our very own ginger witch Shivian Balaris- he’s here to cast a sexy spell for good fortune, and to get even with our enemies.

Comedian Chris Condren also joins us to play some insane songs about time travel and finding that perfect kind of love.

In the news:

And somebody’s grandma walks out of church, disgusted by the pastor’s hate speech this holiday season.

What a miserable year! As 2009 comes to an end, we’re reminded of what a terrible year it was for not just the nation, but for gay folks as well.

Our hopes for the equality promised by President Obama were dashed as hate ran rampant across the world. What happened?

Blogger Alicia Eller at Chicago Now comprised a list of “The Top 25 Homophobic Moments of 2009″ and it’s getting a lot of traffic. Some of the highlights include- Carrie Prejean’s opposite marriage, manipulative sports officials leaking the inter-sex status of champion Semenaya, and politicians caving into the demands of fundamentalists with regards to marriage equality.

But it’s not all bad- 2009 was also a year where millions of people felt empowered to stand up and say “I want my rights.” More people came out of the closet and a lot of people had some sexy good times.

Comedian Adam Guerino joins us to find the healing power of laughter inside all the misery.

Listen as we look at the impact of the ugly Christmas sweater on this holiday season.

The worst Christmas presents ever given.

Health care public option dies.

Plus, snow forts, snowmen and Puerto Rican fashions in the 80s and the winners of our Aretha Franklin Walrus Fur Coat Contest.
