What do you get when you mix irresistible pictures of flight attendants from the 60’s and 70’s with the wit of a former flight attendant who wrote Bleachy Haired Honky Bitch? Jethag.

Author and former Sky Witch Hollis Gillespie has a hit on her hands. Take a look:

I love the title she put in: “Because what Mile High Club is complete without Mom?”

Her title says it all: “Standbyes are already in the water.”

I’m not a big cat fan but this video had me in stitches.

Even in the animal kingdom, the male can’t get a word in edgewise.

Destined to take its place in the annals of natural history footage, it starts with a gut-wrenching kill and u-turns into a heart-breaking moment.

A leopard kills a baboon, drags it up a tree, begins eating it when its just-born child drops from the tree to the ground.

The leopard jumps to the ground to investigate and just when you think it has visions of an Egg McMuffin dancing in its head, it starts mothering the infant baboon!

I was with a friend at a gay bar the other day. He was hawkin’ on a hottie, thinking things were going great when all of a sudden Hottie kills the conversation and walks away. My friend was not happy. He blamed Hottie for being an arrogant prick. I blamed my friend for being blind to his own body language.

Body language is the leak in the faucet of attitudes and emotions. It tells you what guys are thinking and feeling. There’s a truth about nonverbal communication–and gay dating– that’s hard to absorb: The negative body language of the guy you’re attracted to is mostly a reaction to yours.

Writing the first body language guide for gay men has ruined my Saturday nights. I can no longer go out and have a good time without obsessively watching the body language in gay bars. This guy’s gestures are turning the other man off and that guy’s posture is giving off the wrong signals. Can’t I just enjoy my vodka?

No, I can’t. Because I want gay guys to connect. Sometimes I just want to march up to a guy and say, “Look, you’re doing it all wrong. Try this!” But I know he’ll never get it even if I show him, because first he has to understand what he’s doing wrong. And to do that, he has to be aware of what he’s doing at all.

As guys, we are simply not that aware of what our bodies are doing or communicating. In one famous experiment, 95% of people couldn’t pick out the back of their hand in a line-up of photographs!

Your body’s got a vocabulary of its own and its ‘words’ don’t always match the ones coming out of your mouth. For example, you might say something that telegraphs your interest but don’t look in his eyes. Your words say, “Come here” but your body hands him his hat. Since 65% of communication is non-verbal–especially in gay dating situations, he’ll probably take the hat—and the hint. That’s why you need to know what you’re body is doing–so it won’t sabotage what you’re saying.

Let’s do a quick test. Fold your arms over your chest. Did you [Read more…] about Gay Dating: What’s your body doing in a gay bar?

This has got to be the biggest hoax since Liza Minelli’s wedding. The only thing straight about GQ’s readers is their hair.

There’s something mesmerizing about these pictures. They capture his elegance and memorialize his trashiness. If you’ve ever heard him talk you know he’s a modern-day Eliza Dolittle whose speech lessons didn’t take.

Still, let’s not quibble….

Maine legalized same sex marriage this past June but The fRight Wing managed to put it on the ballot for this November. Here’s how the tv wars are going:

The commercials from The fRight Wing do not state the case for why same sex marriage is “wrong,” as you’d expect them to do. Instead, they completely focus on the charge that gay marriage is being “taught” to small school children. As if it were part of the curriculum. Apparently, there’s some book in some part of a small library that describes the many ways families come together, including same sex marriages.

It’s as if the fRight has admitted that gay marriage has no effect on the “sanctity of traditional marriage” and instead, wants Mainers to believe that Re-education Camps for little children are spreading everywhere.

Fear and smear tactics aside, the focus on gayducating children is actually good news because it means The fRight recognizes they’ve lost the central premise of their argument –that equality in marriage harms the institution. Debating experts like to say that you should always argue the facts if the facts are on your side. Well, they’re not arguing facts.

They say argue the law if the law’s on your side. The fRight’s not arguing the law, either.

And they say if neither the facts or the law is on your side, then pound the table. They’re pounding the chairs. Even the table got away from them.

On the other side, marriage equality proponents have shrewdly taken up the family values mantle. It’s no longer about fairness and equality, but about preserving the family unit and protecting children. Here, take a look:

Still, you can lose the debate and still win the vote (George W. vs Al Gore anybody?). In fact, the fRight is winning 48% to 46% according to the latest survey. Pointing out that truth and love rarely beat fear and ignorance on a level playing field. No one dares count their chickens when the eggs are this close. The fRight may be on an intellectual retreat, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still win the battles ahead.

Women can do it because they can attach erotic desire to personality traits. Men? Ha!

That’s why most of us live within the narrow confines of our sexual bandwidth. The point was poignantly made by one gay guy who wrote to me:

“Guys nearly always want someone with their own body type, and I’ll never have it. I’m a beanpole by nature: thousands of hours of weight training haven’t turned me into a hunk, just made me less skinny. No reputable doctor will prescribe anabolic steroids to me, and I don’t want to risk doing illicit steroids. Given the Gay Rules of Attraction, I know my chance of getting a studly boyfriend is slight-to-vanishing.”
