GAY ADOPTION & the 30 Days Episode


GAY ADOPTION


I am glad "30 Days" did the episode on gay adoption. I am also glad they put the narrow minded Christian Women on the show. I thought it was great to show how stupid and narrow minded MOST CHRISTIANS are. They think they their shit doesn't stink.



Remember the Nazi's were Christians!

20/20 STORY TRANSGENDER CHILDREN DVD


Life Should be fun. Its not. I think all of us when we grow up are picked on. You "Too Fat", "Too Tall", "Too Popular", "Brace Face" "4-Eyes" and more. If your gay its hell. I can only imagine how hard it is if your a transgender child.



On Friday June 27, 2008 ABC News Magazine 20/20 re-ran an hour episode on the topic of transgender children are their families.



To me this was an education beyond anything I ever learned at school. My heart went out to everyone profiled in the show. I thought I had a horrible childhood. My life was nothing compared to what these children are living with.



I think everyone in thos special deserve standing ovation for helping to raise awareness and most of all understanding.



I wanted to give these parents and children a hug and somehow help them but how?

Here is how. I recorded on DVD the Special. I want this program to be seen by everybody. If you would like one just e-mail me.



I only ask for $7.50 This covers my cost for the DVD and shipping.

So you have a DUI


I always say anybody can get one DUI. However driving drunk is a selfish act. If you hit somebody while your drunk chances are you will live but whoever you hit chances are they will die.



If you got a DUI please re-think your life. If you didn't hurt anybody your lucky. Chances are you drove drunk 100 times before you ever got caught!



If you got a DUI you need to figure out fast why your drinking so much! If your in a state that makes you attend AA meeting please attend and listen to what people say.



Your life maybe a mess because of your drinking! You got DUI. I was once told 50% of first time offenders get a 2nd DUI within 2-3 years. Well don't let that be you. Stop drinking. Even if you don't have a problem you just might.


Word up! If you can't have just one drink then you do have a problem.

How do I know that I am gay? How do you know your gay?


I had a co-worker ask me this. She is married. She has been married for 20 years. She is very happy. I feel for her. She said lately that all she wants to do is "have sex with women".



I said that "Sounds gay to me". She has had sex with women before however now that's all she wants. She went on further to say that she "Never wants her husband to ever touch her". To make a joke of this conversation I said "That's most married women".



To help her I said you should explore her feelings but LEAVE her husband. If the marriage is bad anyway (plus they have no children) there is no sense in staying in a marriage that no longer seems to be working.




Now for my own story I knew that I was gay at 12. It wasn't until I was almost 30 until I acted on it. Coming out was a very long journey. Sometimes I feel like I am still on this journey but I have been honest about to myself and my family for 11 years now. (Yes do the math I am 41).


If your not sure about being gay that is Normal if you not sure. However if you are gay its not the end of anything. Relationships you have change but in the long run your much better off and all of your relationships with friends and family are on a new level.

Laugh your ass off watch the Kathy Griffin My Life on the D-List




I personally think that Kathy Griffin is one of the funnest people ever. She will do anything to be a star. She is like a modern day "Lucy" but without a Ricky.

Her Ethel's are her personal assistants Jessica, Tom & Tiffany.



If you get the chance catch her stand up specials that air on Bravo. However watch her funny reality show that also airs on Bravo.



Now I just hope that her Stand Up Concerts that have aired on Bravo will get released on DVD. I want to see them unedited. To edit Kathy is a huge sin!

When I watched her show tonight it made want o be on the all gay "Pink Flight" to the Australia Gay Mardi Gras. It looked like it was so much fun. I am jealous I wasn't there.

There are Gay Men Heroes


With everything to lose Neil Patrick Harris took a chance and came out. Yes men have done it before however with Neil Patrick Harris coming out it proves that a good looking openly gay actor can play straight roles and play it well.

Shea Branigan of California


Are you alive?

The Closeted Gay President


Looks interesting?

Coming out Stories


I came out to my family in 1997. I was just reminded on hard it was when I watched "Coming Out Stories".



This is a TV show that shows Gay Men & Women that are going to Come Out to their family. If your straight you will never how hard that is to do. If you are gay then you will see yourself in these men and women trying to come out to their family and hoping they will not be rejected.



Now if your straight do me a favor. I want you to Please Imagine everyone in your family that you love. You know you do not want to hurt them. You don't want them to hate you. You still want to be part of their lives. Now Imagine being shunted by them because your "left handed". Well that's stupid I know but a person can not help being left handed. The same goes with being gay. "YOU ARE BORN GAY". Some people know when there very young. Some people do not know until much later. In any event coming out is the most stressful thing one person can ever do.



I beg all of you to rent the DVD "COMING OUT STORIES". It is very moving.

Gay Guys where did you meet your last man?


A question I will continue to ask because everyone has a story.

Gay The Broken HEarts Club


Here is plot outline from wikiedia:


The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy is a 2000 film that follows the lives of a group of gay friends in West Hollywood. It was written and directed by Greg Berlanti
Among the group is Dennis (Timothy Olyphant), a photographer who often holds the group together; Cole (Dean Cain) a handsome, charismatic actor who - often unwittingly - ends up with other people's boyfriends; Benji (Zach Braff), the youngest member of the group, with a penchant for gym-bodied men, who finds himself going through some bad times; Howie (Matt McGrath), a psychology student who is known for over thinking every situation; Patrick (Ben Weber), the cynic of the group; and Taylor (Billy Porter), who has long boasted about his long-term relationship, which has just come crashing to an end.
Guiding them all is restaurant owner Jack (John Mahoney) who provides them with advice. But when tragedy strikes, and the group's new member, teenage Kevin (Andrew Keegan) attempts to fit in, their friendships are put to the test.




Now the movie is good. Its well acted but it leaves one feeling empty because there is a couple of plot lines that go unresolved.


However its still highly enjoyable.

BEFORE BARACK OBAMA GETS MY GAY VOTE



I want to know where he stands on gay rights. I want him to sit down with GLADD, The Log Cabin Republicans, and the Human Rights Campaign. I want to know where he stands on Abortion (I HOPE IS IS PRO-CHOICE), A MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT. Making Health Care available & affordable to everyone!



Now please back off of his wife. Give me a break! She would make an outstanding first lady. Better then Laura by 1000x.

THE LOVE GURU LOOKS LIKE A BOMB TO ME


I am not in the box office prediction game. I do however smell a bomb coming. That movie is Mike Myers new movie called "The Love Guru". I saw a coming attraction of this movie months ago and I thought if that is the best they can show me then this movie is going to suck. For some reason I think I am correctly stating that Mike Myers is going to have to do another "Austin Powers" movie to restore any box office clout he may still have. I don't even think I will cath this on Netflicks. Who is he kidding by casting Jessica Alba? She not a good actress.

I Miss Rosie O'Donnell


I Miss Rosie O'Donnell. She had a huge impact on the dialog that was going on in this country. Now I may not be in with a 100% agreement with her but it near that.



Rosie was not just a role model for gay women but for all women. She was out spoken and demanded to be taken seriously. She was honest about issues she had in her life. Most important she wants to make the world a better place for all children.



I hope Rosie does get another talk show soon! It will be popular!

Patti Lupone & Glenn Close together at the Tony Awards



Last Sunday was Patti Lupone's night at the Tony Awards She won for "Gypsy". What I would of liked to of been back stage too see if she ran into Glenn Close. It was Glenn Close who replaced Patti Lupone in Sunset Blvd. Patti never made it Broadway with the play. However she did originate the role in London. Her singing is still 10x better then anybody else on Broadway. I just wonder if Patti ran into Glenn? I don't think it was Glenn fault that Patti got fired. However it still would of been interesting. I need to inform you hat while Glenn was doing the show she was treated like shit by the producers. Her name sold tickets. Betty Buckley also sold tickets but once no A-List female could be found to replace Betty the show quickly closed.

Seems to be karma to me. Andrew Lloyd Webber hasn't had a long running original production since "Sunset". Seems the bastard finally got some well deserved payback!

Whitney Houston When is her Next CD


As much as I don't like her as a person I do love her singing. I just hope she can still sing. Her voice was rumored to be in disrepair a few years ago. Rumors were also flying that a voice double/mirror was used in her concerts. In any event I hope she stays sober. She does have a daughter that needs her.

I hope we get a sequel to the "The Birdcage"


This movie screams sequel. If not a sequel maybe we will get a musical. Broadway years ago had a musical of the same material called "LA CAGE" So maybe they will make a movie out of that.

I now wish I did work at the Silver Slipper


Just got back from the Silver Slipper. Wow! Lots of gay men there. I missed this one guy in valet. He is a looker. Maybe he will be there Friday Night? If not I know to cruise that beach!

So where is the gay male version of "An Officer and a Gentleman"


Just got done watching this movie again and it got me thinking "Where is there a gay version equivalent"?


It would be nice to see a very good gay love story that has a Military background.

A gay Broken Heart


It's very hard to have a broken heart. When your straight you can talk to almost anyone about your broken heart. When your a gay man in the South you have very few people you can talk too. So when you have problems who do you talk too?

Kathy Griffin My Life on the D-List Watch amd have fun


Kathy must be the hardest working woman in showbiz. She is very funny and she will do anything to get a laugh. Her gay audience loves her and she deserves to be better known. She is as funny as Bette Middler and any other female you can think of that was on or was once on Saturday Night Live. Now Kathy's show is on Thursday's on Bravo. Check it out. Also check out that hunk in the picture with her.

GAY BLOG ABOUT THE SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE


Okay I love the movie. However did you find it hard to believe that Stanford and Anthony would be dating? Or maybe the weren't? On the TV show they didn't like to be in the same room together. SO this change was just too weird for me!

Very Gay & Very Funny Ugly Betty


I have to whoever is in charge of the TV show "Ugly Betty" deserves a huge thank you from the gay community. The show has more then one gay character and one teen character that is more then likely gay. This is on ABC where just 11 years ago they barely let "Ellen" out of the closet.



What I love about the show is that The Suarez family doesn't make a deal about the teenager Justin. I love how they are supportive and let Justin be Justin. I wish a show was on like this when I was 13. However what does matter is that its on now and the show is a beacon of hope for some gay teenage boy. The show isn't perfect however it is a highlight of my Thursday nights when a new episode airs.

GAY EVENTS IN MISSISSIPPI


Send me a Link I will post it! Any gay events in the South will get a post!

What to do when a closet case or a curious man hits on you


What to do when a closet case or a curious man hits on you? I worked at a BIG BOX store. I had a male co-worker who was hitting on me. I was flattered yes but my fear kicked in. He would hit on me every time he could! Then when other co-workers were around he would say he was dating a girl which of course he wasn't. I was very tempted to "Sleep with Him" but for some reason my common sense kicked in and said "Hello he is a freak in the closet who still lives at home", also His "Gay panic" might get kicked in and I did not want to get hurt. Anyway have you had this situation?

GAY HISTORY THE CELLULOID CLOSET


Released in 1996 is a look of how gay men and women are portrayed in the movies. Times are now changing however as a gay man viewing the movie I not only laughed but I almost cried. If your gay you need to see this movie! If your straight see this movie because you will come away with an education. The movie is not sexually graphic, However if your gay and a movie lover you must buy the DVD. The extras are beyond great. Since its been over 10 years since the movie was made I hope a follow up gets made! Times are changing however that have not changed enough!

GAY INTEREST THE HISTORY BOYS


This is not a review only because I have not watched the whole movie but have you seen "The History Boys". I know this is based on a play but I am surprised this movie did not create any controversy upon its release. I have only seen parts of it however before I forget to blog about it I just wanted to see what everyone else thinks of the movie? TO me for what I have seen its very controversial but also honest. I will be watching it again this week so I hope to see what other people think of this movie!

Greg in Gulfport asked me something interesting


GGG(Also Known as Gay Gulfport Greg) is my friend Greg from the Gulfport area of Mississippi. He said what do you think we would see first. 1) A Black/African-American President 2) A Female President 3) A gay President?


I told him if any of them did get in the White House one thing for sure is that person would be a democrat, and that what matters the most!

Does life get an easier for a gay man?


Relationships. The ups & downs. You know the scoop. So why is it that once were in a relationship we never know why we got into the relationship to begin with?

DVD REVIEW TO WONG FOO


This movie has been called a rip-off of "The Adv of Priscilla Queen of the Desert". The only thing wrong with that statement was the screenplay of "To Wong" was written before "Priscilla" was released.



Well the movie "Wong Foo" is lots of fun. Its about 3 New York Drag Queens who get stuck in a very small town.


The movie highlights are anything with John Leguizamo. He is doing an impression of Rosie Perez but so what John was great.


This movie is rated PG-13 and its worth watching


Wendy Wright Needs to get laid by a lesbian


Any woman that acts this way has never had a real orgasm. Her ideas her so stupid there not funny. I hope she rots in hell.

DVD REVIEW adventures of Priscilla queen of the desert


Adventures of Priscilla queen of the desert.




This movie was a smash hit when it was released in America in 1994. It did well for a limited release of a Gay Theme movie. It did $10,000,000. It became a huge Main Stream hit when it was released on Home Video. Through out the years it has developed a huge following. Now 14 years after its film release the film holds up! Its still smart and funny.



It is worth noting that the box office smash "The birdcage" would not of been made if "Priscilla" had not made an impact.
