So
Graham's all-powerful God didn't send Katrina as retribution,
but it's still part of his plan, eh? If Mr. Graham's career
as an evangelist doesn't pan out, I've no doubt he could find
work doing public speaking for tobacco companies.
AND
SALMAN RUSHDIE THOUGHT HE HAD PROBLEMS
When
children's author Graham Taylor (Shadowmancer) told a group
of British 12-year- olds that Harry Potter was gay, he found
out that Harry was the wrong person to mess with. Reuters
has the whole
story, including Mr. Graham's comments that J. K. Rowling's
villains were "wimps". Reports have it that teachers
tried to hold back the enraged crowd of adolescent muggles,
but were overwhelmed. When last seen, Mr. Graham was fleeing
across the moors chased by a horde of nasty dementors.
COMING
OUT-IT'S NOT JUST FOR GAY PEOPLE ANYMORE
The
joys of living in a "blue" city like Seattle are
many: runaway real estate prices, a Starbucks franchise in
your bathroom, city government paralyzed by making sure everybody
gets their say. But Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist
Susan Paynter writes
about an upcoming ad campaign set to run in local papers that
really does make me proud to be a Northwesterner. The ads
are sponsored by the Washington-state based Pride
Foundation and will feature 300 straight people "coming
out" in support of equality for their GLBT friends, family
members and neighbors. Participants range from those well-known
to just your average Joes and Janes who want to stand up and
let it be known that they won't countenance discrimination.
And so far there has been nary a word of complaint about the
campaign. Now if I could just afford to buy a house here.
CAN'T
FIND ANYTHING GOOD TO RENT AT NETFLIX?
Then
get your butt up out of your Lazy-Boy and check out a few
of the upcoming GLBT Film Festivals across the country. Seattle's
Lesbian
and Gay Film Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary
from Oct. 14-23rd. Harrisburg, PA has their 4th annual festival
today through Oct. 13th. The 16th annual Tampa International
Gay and Lesbian Film Festival runs now through Oct. 16th and
Chicago's Reeling
2005 GLBT Film Fest is set to go Nov. 3rd to the 12th.
And if you don't live near an upcoming film festival, why
not start one of your own!
GAY PRIESTS? I DON'T BELIEVE IT
The San Francisco Chronicle has a lengthy article
on gay playwright Terrence McNally and his new play, Crucifixion.
San Francisco's New Conservatory Theater Center will present
Crucifixion, which tells the story of a homicidal
Jesuit priest. Perhaps he was upset by the Pope's upcoming
edict banning gay men from the priesthood. (Yeah, and next
they're going to keep tall guys out of the NBA.) Other characters
include a weatherman, a lesbian couple, a singer, a lawyer,
a few gay priests, and a Broadway composer. It turns out their
lives interconnect in ways none of them ever expected. Seems
to me San Fran better be careful of allowing too much stuff
like this in their city, otherwise they might find themselves
part of God's next plan for urban renewal.
JUST HOW GAY ARE YOU?
Here
is a fun little quiz that will not only reveal your affinity
for Dorothy, but will raise a little money for Broadway Cares/Equity
Fights AIDS and could win you a free can of F.A.G. shave cream.
Who could ask for more?
THIS
IS ONE WAY TO PROVE YOUR NOT GAY. MAYBE NOT THE BEST WAY,
BUT...
One
of the things I most love about the internet is that little
gems like this
can fall into your lap when you least expect it. After watching
the clip check out more stuff by The
B-Squad. I don't know who these guys are or what they
have planned for the future, but I sure wouldn't mind a sequel
to Paul and Frank!
On
a completely unrelated topic, here is another clip
I mention for no particular reason.
And
now I’ll shut up so you can have the BEST. GAY. WEEK.
EVER.
That's
it for this week! Check back next Friday for a new installment
of Best. Gay. Week. Ever., or read previous installments here.
