The Massachusetts congressional delegation - save for US Senator Scott Brown - has made its own “It Gets Better” video to encourage youth encountering uncertainties and difficulties as they realize they are homosexual.
There Are Days...
When you wake up in a half daze due to the half headache from the excesses of the night before and the lack of sleep, and you think: “I’m too old for this”.
And then you remember the evening, the friends, the amazing people you met, the good time you had, the conversations, the comedy, and you think: “It’s totally worth it”.

In Which We Slipped One Past The Guardian
This is amazing and hilarious… since NYPost IS a Murdoch publication, you will never see this, BUT if they covered the news the way they cover other news, this is what you’d see… click through to early and weekend editions as well. Now, my day is made!
From Saturday’s print edition of The Guardian, one of our glorious NY Post spoofs gets passed off as the real thing.
We love it when this happens.

Attention New Yorkers
Definitely NOT cool.
Last night some college friends of mine had a run-in with a homophobic bouncer at the Mean Fiddler (a bar on 47th St. and 8th Ave).
The bouncer told them to “go somewhere they were wanted…like the West Village.”
If you think this behavior is disgusting, please feel free to do the following:
- write a negative Yelp review
- contact the manager: michael@themeanfiddlernyc.com
And certainly avoid the bar. Spread the word!
Not cool! Yelp it!

“In the safest, most boring country, the worst lone gunman shooting happens. The worst in the world, in history. But it will not make our country worse. The safe, boring democracy will supply him with a defense lawyer as is his right. He will not get more than 21 years in prison as is the maximum extent of the law. Our democracy does not allow for enough punishment to satisfy my need for revenge, as is its intention. We will not become worse, we will be better. We lived in a land where this is possible, even easy. And we will keep living in a land where this is possible, even easy. We are open, we are free and we are together. We are vulnerable by choice. And we will keep on like that, that’s how we want to live. We will not be worse because of the worst. We must be good because of the best.”
