Oh This Is All Shades of Awesome

Dolly Parton delivers the commencement address at the Univeristy of Tennessee in 2009.

Susan Freaking Boyle

If there’s any question about me being queer as hell, I offer the tears and nose-dribble that greets each Susan Boyle performance as a sound rebuke.  It’s ridiculous, really, but I feel as if I need to own these feelings. This woman is a goddamned miracle.

She’s a Talker, Sibilant Style

From my friend Molly, a Neil Goldberg video of 73 gay men brushing their cats and saying, “She’s a talker”. This, of course, has absolutely no resonance for me. None at all.

Wherein We Briefly Discuss A Facet Of Drag Culture

And a very small facet at that. Divine, in her interesting musical career, seems to have relied exclusively on a Moroder-inspired backing synth. The video below for the song Shake It Up is a good example.

I also enjoy that there are no obvious phallic symbols whatsoever. Click through for the good times.

Gerontologically Speaking…

I was thinking just now that the creators of Doogie Howser, M.D. really should have made Doogie a gerontologist, because it would have been quite humorous to see the young doctor interacting with rotating cast of crotchety yet lovable oldsters.

It would also be funny because old people hate homosexuals so much.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Some Booze.

Why is it that large amounts of alcohol can make ABBA lyrics seem trenchant?

A Question to the People of California

Imagine, if you will, that I reside in your fair state. Also imagine that I own livestock. For the sake of this scenario, let’s say I raise goats. Veal goats, succulent fattened veal goats that bleat wearily from their veal goat pens. Under the rights afforded to my veal goats under your recently passed Proposition 2, would those goats that identify as homosexual be allowed to marry? Or are their special provisions of Proposition 8 that would prevent such a union?

Please advise.

Gee Golly and Gosh

Between the forthcoming premiere of Lipstick Jungle and Clay Aiken’s announcement that he’s gay, this is an exciting time to be a queer.

Some Bad News

You can’t identify as straight-acting when you suck dick. They’re mutually exclusive.

Jesus Christ on a Hand Cart

Why on earth am I watching The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert for the second time in as many days?

Oh wait, that’s right. I’m a bored homosexual.
