 Who doesn’t need a Gaycation? And for free? That’s enough for anyone to give up the boredom of their hump evening. Starting tomorrow and continuing every first Wednesday of the month shake your toosh down at Holocene (1001 SE Morrison) without the need for heavy coinage in your pockets. In the words of Miss Mary:
Party down with DJ Automaton, DJ Snowtiger, and DJ Hotpants as we bring the booty-shaking beats and conjure the fun of the old Queer Night at the Blackbird, back when you didn’t have to pay to be gay.

This may seem a little juvenile, pointing a finger and snickering, but I’m sorry, it must be done. Two pictures from last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards just seemed too gay not to mention. Are the stars of queer films playing up the gay for the award attention?
I’m not gay I just play one on TV: “Here, you put your hand on your hip and I’ll take care of the oversize bowtie fashion.”
Not so Desparate Housewives: “Who needs a husband when I’ve got co-stars?”
My what strong arms you have Felcity Huffman. Whew!

 Apparently the ticket to redemption is through Jell-O. If all us queers had only known sooner we could have just told Mom, “What I have to tell you is rough, but I have some good news. The new color presentation of the family’s favorite dessert will be stunning.”
Thank you to my coworker Darby for sending me this idea. Always looking out for me…

Some good news from our neighbors to the north this weekend as they pass a controversial civil rights bill. The AP gives a great rundown of who voted and how, what the law is about, and a whole slew of other info. My favorite quote, however, is from local Representative Jim Moeller who proclaims his own, newly sanctioned, queer love by saying: “I could just kiss the Senate!” And now you won’t get fired for it Jimmy. Yay!

 17th annual GLAAD media award nominees are in and the countdown to the 4 award ceremonies begin. Interestingly (and unusually) enough, many of this years contenders are also contenders in some of the big boy races such as the Oscars. Please do not try to adjust your television…Yes, queers are taking over.
 One show that will certainly not be receiving any awards is the cruel yet insipid American Idol. Really people, fat, four-eye, female, and other f jokes are just not funny post-elementary school, and should be scolded even then. And yet they continue on with their extremly offensive and boring quips. Fox continues to give Simon only minor wrist slaps, which are just not getting to him. If amusing insults are so important to him he really should be taking lessons in throwing shade. This stuff is amateur. He’s probably just jealous that he will never look good in a dress…

 After this week’s groan-inducing episode I was surprised to read, not only a favorable review of The L Word’s third season but a semi-backup from the blog world. Why does the Village Voice think this season has any kind of substance? It’s the same stock, unoriginal sensationalism and trotting out of hot button, but not necessarily compelling, issues, that it always has been. It barely ups the ante with the addition of a mid-western, trans/butch character.
Said blog entry calls Shane and Carmen gender fluid poster girls and cites that as their absolute disgust of the butch Moira. And yet, these ladies of the post-gender are being more close-minded than the brilliant and gender traversing new character Moira/Max. When did Shane the street hustler with 4 roommates, and Carmen, the struggling DJ, become so judgmental and snobby? Seriously, first this season ruined my other favorite character, Alice, and now the two hotties? Only the titillation factor was keeping me in tow. With the heat turned down, I don’t know that I’ll be able to make it through the season.

It seemed a slow night in queer news last night and as I struggled for topics I asked my girl what she thought was blog worthy. She replied, “How about those homophobic comments on American Idol?” I brushed it off. I don’t watch it and wasn’t that almost a week ago anyway? Well, it looks as if I, as well as judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, may have to eat my words…
Tuesday update – The duel continues…

Unfortunate though it may be that yours truly did not receive a Bloggy nomination, I’m rather more disappointed at who else seems not to be represented at these prestigious awards. Each category has five nominations and the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered community has featured 4 blogs by men and 1 blog that appears to be collectively run, though it says nothing about the makeup of their group. One blogger is Asian and the rest appear to be Caucasian. Forgive me if I am mistaken on this one. If so, race is not a topic that any wish to address in their blogger bios, nor do their photos express it.
 I don’t expect absolute equality. This is, indeed, and award for excellence. But there are no blogs on this big round globe authored by lesbians or trannies? Queerfilter.com lists an extraordinary amount searchable by many different categories, gender among them. The category claims their presence explicitly, which makes the absence all the more ironic.
I won’t be voting.

 Yes, abortion can be a gay issue. And we all must support each other anyway.

Ah, the division of labor…Are same sex couplings any more likely to take an equal share in household chores and child-rearing? The University of Washington aims to find out. If you and happy hubby are interested in facing your domestic quandaries in view of researchers, you should check it out.
 In the meantime while you stay at home partners are lounging around in your bathrooms with your bonbons, be sure to check out the Game Show Network’s new all-gay I’ve got a secret. We’re bound to have more interesting things in our closet than the average joe right?
