When you think of one of the most prolific character actors, who is also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian, one name comes to mind… Jason Stuart. Stuart has been making people laugh out loud with his hysterical performances all over the country since coming out in 1993. He has accomplished what few other gay comics have ever achieved: brutal honesty with humor in a world that’s not always kind. Not only is Stuart an all-out crowd pleaser, but he transcends

So Ed Rollins, that venerable Republican strategist, says tonight that “it’s over” and “McCain’s lost”.  Hmm…  That kind of confidence I don’t have, despite the recent polls.  Twenty-six days in politics, especially in this election, is how many lifetimes?…

Granted, for a host of reasons I seem to be in a worried stage of life right now, but I do feel an ongoing sense of worry.  McCain, and especially Palin, are whipping up Continue Reading »

Broken Hearts Club is a witty and entertaining comedy about a group of West Hollywood gay boys - their lives and loves and damned if Ta can find anything about this to trash. Ah’m flummoxed. Ah thought for sure ah’d have some juice with Dean Cain on board, but he actually does a good job.

In his feature film debut, openly gay writer/director Greg Berlanti oh how ah love that may-un! - has crafted a funny, touching slice-of-life portrait on the lives and loves of a group of gay West Hollywood friends. The characters include Dennis (Timothy Olyphant), a promising photographer,  his housemate Cole (Dean Cain), a charming man-stealing actor; Benji (Zach Braff), a punkish gym

One of my guilty pleasures is to collect Western pulp fiction paperbacks with homoerotic book covers, along with the campy gay pulp fiction as well. Rarely do the two genres meet; the Westerns never have gay characters, and the early gay pulps often fail in authenticity, with few exceptions.

One author who straddles both genres is Victor J. Banis, whose novel Longhorns will please fans of gay and western fiction. As one of the last products of the sadly defunct Carroll & Graf gay fiction wing, Banis’ latest book gently blends elements of a standard romance, erotica, and traditional Western pulp fiction. It’s like Brokeback Mountain without so much angst.

Sometimes it becomes important to understand that what is right and real and true - is not what you’d like it to be. Resistance to new ideas, new ways of thinking, new ways of communicating, new ways of receiving can all be challenges that must simply be…overcome. Sometimes the universe just doesn’t give you a lot of options about it.

This morning I was scrolling through the PABA (Portland Area Business Association) website when I came across a highlighted business Oh Planning + Design. Of course I googled them to check out the website and I was pleasantly surprised!  While the information architect in me might argue the finer details of the site’s schematic, I was instantly warmed by 8 words I read on the principal’s bio page:  “…human potential is…an influence to [my work].”

Well, with 30 days left to go and Obama beginning to pull away, both nationally and within the ‘toss-up’ State polls, Bill Kristol–that sniveling, insufferable, neocon moronic editor of the Weekly Standard, wonders whether there’s still time for McCain to ‘catch up’?  He urges, again, that “character” is an issue and McCain shouldn’t be afraid to bring it up.  As if one of the sleaziest, low-balling campaigns in recent memory , hasn’t been lying and twisting the truth and slinging mud now for months.  And Continue Reading »
