Ricky Martin comes out of the closet as gay!

3

We knew it all along. But, finally! He just referred to himself as a “fortunate homosexual.” Yeah, fortunate after he came out too late and didn’t help the cause. No sympathy for this friend of Dorothy. Now that she got what she wanted in life, she wants to reap the benefits of the lifestyle. Why now? It’s really no big news and kind of sad that it took him that long to admit it, when he could have helped with exposure and visibility before. No clapping hands for him.

Borat is now Brüno

Don’t know whether to cheer or jeer this. A part of me feels like it might be a great flick that will expose the world to the absurdity of pigeonholing people and another part is afraid that it might end up being a cesspit of stereotyping that will me a laughingstock out of a minority. But, I do remember feeling, that in Borat, the people who turned out to be the laughed-at where not the two Kazakh characters, but the other people in the movie. Well, in some cases. 

Iowa legalizes same-sex marriage

6a00d8341c730253ef01156ed5c92d970c-800wiWhat a great day for the civil rights movements when a square state like Iowa legalizes gay marriage with a unanimous Supreme Court decision. Pioneering the way for the midwest and attaining this human right before states like New York and Maine. Of course it’s mainly corn crops there, but still it’s a state that will light up blue and free on charts. Hopefully, this will be a trend that runs across the united states although i think it should be a federal decision. In any case, today’s for Iowa.

La Roux gate crashes party in Paris

This is the first time I see La Roux out of a music video and in interview/chatter mode. The live performance sounds good and the closing credits song sounds absolutely fabulous. I hope it’s on the album. My gaydar went off a bit. What do you think?

Mad props to Iceland…

2469332728_4101920cfdI couldn’t have said it better. From TruthDig.com:

“Hats off to the Scandinavians, who continue to make the world’s progressives green with envy. Even as Iceland faces economic catastrophe, the volcanic island nation has made history by naming the world’s first (for the most part) openly gay national leader. Johanna Sigurdardottir will become prime minister. (The New York Daily News says Norway briefly had an openly gay man as prime minister.)

The family-values types can just relax. Sigurdardottir has been married to her female companion for seven years.”

Is Iceland Scandinavia, though?
