B.A Baracus: "I pity the fool that pokes me in the eye with his gay hair!" Boy George:"Do you really want to hurt me?" Fabu gay hero Lady Gaga and slightly dusty but still gaytastic crooner Boy George are duetting it up to make the possibly gayest song in history, reports The Sun. Despite the fact that The Sun ranks near the bottom (but above the National Enquirer!) on the [...] STR8's the only way, apparently A brand of cologne called “STR8″ as been fluttering around the internet for a little while – complete with seemingly homophobic tagline: “STR8. There’s no other way” What is this? The work of another group of religious nuts? Scientology side-income?

It's Pride Time, thanks Colin for being my sideburn ambition I’m starting off Queer Pride Week (I’m no longer saying Gay Pride…reclaim it queerbos) with a lot of coffee, leftover homemade Pizza for breakfast and kisses from a beautiful woman. And a bunch of mundane work. And trying to keep my shit together because there is so.much.to.fucking.do for QPDX.com this week. You? Comment! What are you up to this week? Where [...] As a queer person, and as an immigrant into what is widely known as the “toughest country to get in to” in the world, I am constantly reminded of the inequality people face in this country who are involved in binational same-sex couples.I don’t have a Green Card, I am not allowed to work, I receive no government support, I am constant danger of my visa being revoked.
