Yesterday on his radio show whimsical coot Buddy Cianci claimed that mayor David Cicilline misappropriated city funds in order to give two strippers a ride (heh, heh) from Boston. But an investigation proves that really it’s kind of way more complicated than that! Turns out Scott Birchall, who does work for Allens Avenue club Trixx, […]
The people of Portland aren’t really paying attention to the inauguration, because their dreamy new mayor admitted to having sex with an eighteen-year old in 2005. That’s right, a fully consenting adult male agreed to have sex with another fully consenting adult male four years ago (!!!!), and now people are calling for the mayor
Divine Providence, by far my favorite local publication, is switching to an online-only format after next week. Founder Eric Marion cites ad sales as the cause of the switch. For those of you unacquainted with the magazine, every Thursday it provided sixteen pages of news about the gays; the back cover of every issue was

Today Sam Adams (not that one) was sworn in as mayor of Portland, Oregon, meaning that David Cicilline’s no longer the only gay mayor of a major US city. [nb: I just had so much trouble writing that sentence. I tried “gayest mayor of a US city,” and then “mayor of the gayest US city,”

My fellow fallen Cat’lics, here’s yet another reason to avoid midnight mass this year: Pope Benedict has declared that stamping out homosexuality is as important a task as saving the rainforests. “The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less,” quoth Big Papa B. “[The Church] should
The gays are taking over the Red Room tonight. Why I don’t know, although I guess it’s nice to know that the Red Room (where I barbacked for about a month a few years ago, and which has the cleanest bathrooms in the city, according to its hilarious website) still exists.
Starring Doogie Howser, Becky II from Roseanne, Margaret Cho, Jack Black, Maya Rudolph, John C Reilly, Alison Janney, Kathy Najimy, and a lot of other people that are probably famous but whose names I don’t recognize. Also, it’s only three minutes long, and comes from the creator of Hairspray: The Musical!
The gays will be out doing their straight bar takeover thing again on Friday, hopefully at somewhere fun (like the Scurvy Dog) and not somewhere totally lame (like Viva.) And then on Saturday at 1:30 there’s a protest in front of the State House. It’s part of a nation-wide rally against California’s Proposition 8. Speaking
Arizona and Florida banned gay marriage yesterday. As of thirty-eight minutes ago, California was still undecided. San Francisco didn’t legalize prostitution. And, weirdest of all, Arkansas banned unmarried people from adopting. Not just the gay ones, mind you, but all unmarried people. Sorry, orphans!
It’s National Coming Out Day. I’ll opt not to discuss that, as it’s wicked nice out today and I need to step away from the computer, so instead I’ll just leave you with one of my favorite Weezer songs: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjy3XbxMW1A]
As of an hour or so ago, it’s okay for people of the same sex in the Nutmeg State to get hitched, making them the third state in the nation to okay gay marriage, after Gayssachusetts and Gaylifornia. The state’s supreme court went 4-3 in favor of the ruling, saying there was no legal justification
9 PM at a secret location (see hint to the right then stop thinking about McFadden’s or Finnegan’s or Patrick’s or Fatty McGee’s because it’s not any of those.) It’s the first Guerilla Gay Bar Providence event. I can’t promise that it will be fun, but I can promise delicious, delicious bar food. UPDATE: It’s
I’m not sure why this has been bugging me for the last twelve hours, but it really has, to the point where I may have even had a dream about it last night: Yesterday I worked late and skipped dinner, but then decided to head out to the Black Rep for some SoundSessioning. Because the

For some ungodly reason I woke up at four this morning, which means that I had hours and hours to dwell on the fact that one of the biggest festivals in the city this year is trying to pass off Tiffany as an exciting musical option. And, being the way I am, I started thinking
As this blog’s resident expert on 80’s teen-pop and homosexuals, I have to say that I’m doubly shocked and appalled–or at least disappointed and confused–that the headliner of this year’s Pride festival is Tiffany. Tiffany, a girl who had three, maybe four hits twenty years ago, two of which were covers of songs that were
So, I don’t know what your plans are for July 27th, but chances are you’re not heading to the TC Banknorth Garden to see George Michael, because tickets, which run in the $45-$150 range (plus service fees!) don’t seem to be selling out with any great speed, despite the fact that it’s his first US
