A gay youth revolution is taking over the internet as young people are connecting with others on a mass scale by telling their coming out stories on Youtube in order to make sense of the world.
One such video blogger, Chris Rushton, came out during high school, then dropped out. Today he’s back in college pursuing a nursing degree, but his popular video blog Chris Rustonable continues to be a meaningful part of his life.
Chris initially asked us to come on our program two years ago when he was 16 years old, but he declined when we insisted he bring his mom along.
Listen as Chris shares with us his tips on video blogging, making the most of iMovie, creating a group video channel and being stalked by his fans.
And, Chris also shares the steamy details of his one night stand with American Idol finalist Adam Lambert.
Plus:
A baby survives being shot in the chest by his parents in a global warming suicide pact.
Robert Pattinson offered to pose nude for Details magazine, and they declined.
And further proof that the earth is spinning faster than ever: Chile’s earthquake may have tipped the Earth’s axis, no joke.

The jubilant bacchanal brought an unprecedented number of people to Boystown to dance and groove to Michael Jackson’s music. Who knew the King of Pop’s hit songs would rule the gay parade?
On today’s show we have the cute video blogger, GoatHerderEd who put his free time to good use by starting a sexy, silly video blog where he talks about a wide range of topics with his shirt off.
Why does he do it? And what happened during the Pride Parade that got him into sexy trouble.

Chris Crocker turned to the internet to escape the torment of being chased by gangs of boys at the mall.
The internet helped him connect with the greater world around him when he couldn’t create a gay-straight alliance in his school and he left to be home schooled. To grow up a gay, eccentric and flamboyant teen has never been easy especially in a small conservative town in Tennessee.
If it weren’t for the internet where would Chris Crocker be?
Today Chris is one of the most watched and imitated video bloggers online. His iconic video of himself weeping and imploring the public to “Leave Britney Alone” made him a household name.
Chris’ videos represent the dramatic change we’re seeing in how we create and consume media. Chris’ videos are just as popular as the YouTube Presidential debates or the evening news. For millions of people everywhere, his opinion matters.
Despite this, old media companies are threatened by Chris popularity because of his bold desire to express himself at any cost. They can’t control him and he doesn’t need them.
It’s easy to question the authenticity of Chris’ videos because he’s just that good. He’s eerily in touch with his dark emotions and quickly cuts through the hypocrisy of the “haters” with his wit and words.
“Leave Britney Alone” proves to be one of the most emotionally over the top videos I’ve ever seen online. I believe Chris cried not so much for Britney Spears but rather to express the pain and suffering he endured having gone through the hell of homophobia as a teenager. In many ways, Chris Crocker represents the tortured gay youth who fought back and lived.
Chris Crocker really is a huge fan of Britney Spears, even though she has conservative leanings and a complete lack of interest in gay rights of any kind. Remember, she was FOR the War in Iraq and said in many interviews that we should “stand by our President” despite his reckless policies.
Chris sees something bigger inside of Britney. He believes her to be a liberal person trapped by the conservative world around her.
People can’t leave Britney alone or any other tragic celebrity for that matter because they help us cope with our everyday problems. When we see someone richer, more attractive and more powerful than us struggling to hold on, it makes it easy to come to peace with our place in the world.
On today’s show Chris Crocker joins us to talk in-depth about his popular video blog, his passion for following people’s horoscope and how he may team up with Puerto Rican TV astrologer Walter Mercado to reach a hip, young new audience. We also talk with Chris about how he personally deals with the vicious hate online and offline, what he thinks of all those parody videos of his work and where in Los Angeles you should hang out if you want to hook up with Chris.
And we put to rest the rumors surrounding Chris’ HIV/AIDS conspiracy as a government biological weapon gone wrong and being vilified for simply being himself and being good at it!

Regina definitely ended up a causality after her last appearance on the Feast as Fools in an episode we now lovingly call the drag queen wars. You can read the comments yourself about the public’s and her fellow drag queen’s reaction to the show. Let’s just say, it wasn’t kind.
It’s hard to keep a good bitch down and Regina is back to tell about the subsequent fallout over her words about a queen who did or didn’t “know her words.”
We also chat about which local drag queen looks like Jocelyn Wildenstein and the horrors of plastic surgery. Just how did this wealthy New York City woman get any doctor to allow her to look so bizzare? How much is too much? Would you get it done? And if so, what? We want to know!
Say hello to Haunea- the penis shaped planetoid named after the Hawaiian god of fertility. It is one of five know planetoids and has two satellites “Hi’iaka” in honour of Hawaii’s patron goddess and “Namaka” a water spirit.
Nepal grants legal rights to lesbians, gay men and trans people. Bishnu Adhikari, 21, became the first person to receive a “third gender” classification on a legal document.
The musical highway gets paved into silence. A section of a California highway had grooves cut into the road surface to play the William Tell Overture which is alos the theme to the Lone Ranger. neighbors complained that it was noisy and sounded awful.
