Big Queer Conference in Chicago This Month – Get Your Hair Did!

wordpress_header-1

Let’s face it – fighting for full federal equality for all queer people under all matters governed by law is, well, sexy as hell.  Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Washington, DC last October, spearheaded by Equality Across America, and the same network has called for a series of indie-organized, grassroots and hella queer conferences based on that exact steamy concept.

The Midwest Hotties kick off the event this March 12th-14th at Columbia College Chicago, including keynotes from Staceyann Chin and Lt. Dan Choi, both very prominent LGBTQetc activists.  Oh, and Adam Bouska from the NOH8 campaign is stopping by for a workshop.  Have you seen the three of these people?  HOT.

Top Five Reasons Why You Should Go (even if you can’t stand politics)

1. Registration = $15 dollars for the whole weekend.  Yes, that’s correct.  Read the schedule.  To put things into perspective, the still-fabulous Creating Change conference has a $300 fee, $150 for low income.  You don’t need a web service for that price comparison.

2.  Feeling frisky?  Well, how are you supposed to meet these activist sweeties if you aren’t there to catch them at their weakest – in a big lovey dovey queer activist conference!

3.  In case you haven’t noticed, activism is cool again.  Do you want to miss out on the latest trend?  Proof: Equality Across America’s full list of conferences.   More proof: see below.

4.  Lady Gaga marched and spoke at the National Equality March last October 11th, which jumpstarted EAA.  Lady Gaga wants you to go to the conference.  Her Haus even made the Video for “Teeth” about 2 kinky queens acting out a vampire fantasy.  Now, pay your homage and register.

5.  Even the Log Cabin Republicans are sponsoring it.  When will the gay Repubs and Lady Gaga ever agree on something again?

So go get your mani-pedis, buy some new face wash or whatever gets you off, and if anything, come for the attractive folks.  No liability on my part if you end up a flame throwing activist. but I will say this: Sex after a protest is by far better than any of that make up after a fight crap.

Hunky Wrestling Star Hudson Taylor Kicks Butt On and Off the Mat

It’s hunky guys like Hudson Taylor that help me get out of bed every day.

The University of Maryland wrestling star kicks butt on and off the mat, ranking No. 3 in the country in the 197-pound NCAA wrestling weight class. But because of his loud and proud stance on gay rights he’s #1 in our book.

Hudson got into trouble with his teammates because he insisted on wearing a HRC equality sticker on his wrestling helmet as a political statement:

“For me and my generation, [LGBT rights] is a pressing issue,” said Taylor, 23, a native of New Jersey. “I believe that whatever history I’m a part of, I’m responsible for. If I feel something is unjust or unequal, I feel a responsibility to do something about it.”

When he’s not winning in wrestling or being outspoken on gay rights, the Performance Art student loves to learn magic tricks and has already proposed marriage to his girlfriend, right after seeing the movie Milk. What a catch. I think they will make some beautiful children.

Check him after a match as he briefly shows his fine “pasty white ripped” body.

Hudson:

I am very outspoken about equality. I believe that people should have the maximum amount of rights so long as it doesn’t infringe on other people’s rights. As a result, I am passionate about gay rights, feminist issues, or really any other issue pertaining to civil rights. No, I’m not your typical wrestler.

Life is like a box of chocolates...

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, are you feeling a little bit better now that the big fuss is all over?

Marriage Equality events were held all over the world this past Valentines Day, including a demonstration in front of Chicago’s Holy Name Cathedral that angered churchgoers and a Kiss-In in Paris that unfortunately turned violent.

Our friend, blogger Michael Lehet is here tell us how he and a few others from Join the Impact gay bombed a Marriage Event at the Field Museum by dressing up like gay grooms and brides.

Join us we talk about Fox News – they are now showing straight folks where to find the sex clubs. Even though police investigated
a dirty bookstore in the suburb of Melrose Park and found no violations, Fox News wasn’t satisfied and went with an under cover camera to videotape the sex going on. So if you ever want to know where to get it on in the burbs- Fox has the answers.

Is the Blogging Swarm of Nine challenge to HRC to put pressure the President to repeal DADT this year on target or does it just promote divisive infighting that smacks of elitism?

A bomb explodes at the offices of corrupt bank JP Morgan in Athens, Greece and everyone cheers. Are we celebrating terrorism now?

Seven Men’s Fashion Fails and what new Apple product is set to launch a new men’s fashion craze?

The Vatican’s top ten albums of all time, and surprise- the Beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ Superstar.

and the Trans Siberian Railway is now on Google street view but does not feature the male hookers who work the train from Moscow to Vladivostok, or as we like to call it, glad to have cock.

Interview with Debbie Reynolds

It was such a delight talking to Debbie Reynolds in August of 2009 we just had to share it again-

As star of Singing In the Rain, one of the most loved Holllywood musicals of all time, Debbie Reynolds made a name for herself with her sparkling voice and uninhibited sense of humor. Dick Cavett called her “one of the first ladies of Hollywood.”

With over 30 films, two Broadway shows and several TV series under her belt, Debbie Reynolds still continues to captivate audiences with her one woman show.

Today we’re talking to Hollywood’s Golden Age diva — Debbie Reynolds on her conservative roots, her divorce from Eddie Fisher and being the mother of the Princess of Sci Fi- Carrie Fisher.

What was it like to rehearse the dance sequences with Gene Kelly? Is it true he made her feet bleed? What’s it like living next door to her daughter?

Debbie Reynolds on a date with Tab HunterListen as Debbie shares with us her stories of dating closeted gay men in Hollywood, being a mother to all her fans and she dishes on drag queens making it big in show business.

In the photo on the right is Debbie Reynolds with Hollywood hunk Tab Hunter, who later came out as a gay man in the late 80s. What was it like dating him?

Is Obama now saying he’s for marriage equality? At yesterday’s Prayer Breakfast held by the evil covert group known as “The Family,” both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the organizations ties to the “kill gays” legislation in Uganda.

President Obama called the bill “odious” and remarkably stated “We may disagree about gay marriage, but surely we can agree that it is unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are — whether it’s here in the United States or … most recently in Uganda.” Well, if “The Family” is against gay marriage and he disagrees with them, does that means he’s for it?

Blogger Michael Lehet joins us to take a look at the hot news:

Prada fashion model Nick Snider offers a “get out of jail free blow job” to police officers in Arkansas for a public intoxication arrest. Is this the way he broke into the business?

NBC Black History month Fried Chicken menu controversy.

The Chicago Field Museum’s Bridal Party in Chicago- how gay will it get?

A woman stands trial for selling pierced cats online

A man was found mauled to death by the same dogs he saved from being put down for attacking humans.

And Oscar the Death Cat- a cat living in a nursing home predicted more than 50 deaths.

Solitaire Miles, Marc Felion and Fausto Fernós get attacked by the Krampus

How disappointing! The New York State Senate voted to reject Marriage Equality, leaving the majority of people in the state who support the bill wondering- who are they representing? Why the hate?

But it’s not all bad news- Family Ties star Meredith Baxter comes out of the closet as a woman loving woman, ignoring the advice from her gal pal Rupert Evert to keep her lezzie loving ways a secret, since openly gay actors have a harder time finding work in Hollywood.

Although Christmas is days away, Europeans are getting read to celebrate St. Nick’s Day, where the good kids get candy, and the bad kids get coal or even taken away by Krampus, a demonic looking figure with fur, horns and a long pink tongue.

Marc’s friend Solitaire Miles joins us to give us the scoop on Santa’s Satanic-looking sidekick.

Last night on Larry King Live Carrie Prejean freaked out when asked about the reasons why she quit fighting and chose to settle with the Miss California USA pageant. The controversial beauty pageant contestant well known for her infamous response to marriage equality fumed at Larry King, calling his question “inappropriate” and threatened to walk off the set.

But instead she just sat there, staring like the vacant doll she is.

The way Larry King handled the awkward situation makes you apperciate his seasoned experience in interviewing people.
