think it's so cute that Condé Nast's Bride's magazine has an article about same-sex weddings. The New York Times reports that: 'The article, titled 'Outward Bound' and written by David Toussaint, a freelance journalist, discusses recent developments in same-sex ceremonies. Gay and lesbian couples are interviewed about why they want their friends and community to recognize their unions publicly. The article also offers advice on how to be a good guest. It urges readers 'not to panic' if they are invited to a gay wedding.'
Don't panic!! I'd panic if I was invited to a gay wedding!! What would I wear? You won't ever see my sad ass in a tux, I can tell you that now. I'd look like a Victorian child molester.
I also tend toward gender-bending when it comes to clothes and mostly wear skirts around the house to shock the UPS delivery people when they call. I don't think they see me as a man, more of a really ugly housewife.
I have no sense of style in the fashion department. A bartender at Charlie's once described my dress sense thus: 'You throw yourself into the closet and wear whatever sticks.'
That's pretty much it. So I hope I never get invited to a gay wedding because I wouldn't have a clue what to wear … I'd probably turn up in a mini skirt and a Hassidic Jewish prayer shawl. Mmm! Now there's an idea.

According to CNN: 'A line of condoms will join the growing hip-hop market of fashion lines and magazines in select drug stores in early 2004.
'Dubbed 'Jimmie Hatz,' the condoms are held in graffiti-style packages, and come in three selections—XL Great Dane (extra large condom), Mixed Breed (contoured condom with dotted and ribbed texture) and the Rottweiler (standard size condom).'
Whatever it takes to save lives. Maybe there should be a whole line of music genre condoms: Disco condoms with mirror balls, psychedelic condoms with swirling colors, punk rock condoms with a safety pin through them … oh wait a minute, that doesn't work …

I thought I was going to hate Queer Eye but I love it. It's a fun show with a great bunch of funny guys, but …
… Boy Meets Boy!!! It's horrible!!! A completely vacuous nothing and his gal pal get to choose a boyfriend from 15 other vacuous nothings, some of whom are secretly straight. (The audience can't wait for him to be embarrassed and disappointed in front of the whole country.)
Queer Eye succeeds for me because of the wit and wisdom of the guys doing the makeovers. They're also down-to-earth regular guys who really seem to care about the Straight Guys they work with.
Boy Meets Boy is just a bunch of Ken Dolls playing on a beach. And like a Ken Doll, the show is plastic and has no balls.
However, I'm pleased to see another gay show on TV, and Boy Meets Boy caused those right-wing asswipes at Fox TV to ponder the question, 'Are Gays Taking Over TV?'
Yes we are taking over TV. Now we've got rid of those annoying sodomy laws, taking over TV is top of the list on the 'gay agenda,' followed by gay marriage and then the ritual sacrifice and cannibalism of Christian babies.
