News: Lesbian Bishop, Mika, Iranian Gays, Daniel Radcliffe
Andrew Sullivan marries his partner in Provincetown.
Mika shows off his helium heels in new video for "Happy Ending". How appropriate!
Lesbian refuses to back down to conservative objections after being nominated to be a Bishop by the episcopal Church: "I am honored and humbled to be named a nominee for Bishop of Chicago and to be included in the company of my fellow nominees, all of whom are faithful, accomplished leaders in God's church. Since the day last winter when I was asked to make myself available to this nominating process, my discernment prayer has been that God would continue to lead me to serve God's new creation in the church. I believe that accepting this nomination is what God is asking of me, and I will strive to respond to that call faithfully and with grace."
At the Michael Sandy murder trial in New York, revelations that the killers joked about attack: "Some of the young men now accused of killing him gathered in an apartment and read newspaper accounts of the attack, the youngest one told investigators. In street slang referring to murder, the oldest one joked, 'So, do you want to catch a body today?'"
Fascinating interview with gay Iranian couple who fled to Turkey: "We do not ask for much in life. I want to have a 40 meter apartment in Iran where I can live with my partner, the person I love. Get up in the morning and go to work, work, and feel at peace when I return home. That’s it. Just a quiet life with my boyfriend. I’d like to reach this dream and not be hanged or stoned for loving someone."
What some gay men would do for Mariah.
Alleged photo of Pete Doherty abusing cat surfaces.
Daniel Radcliffe coming to Broadway with Equus. Nerves about "baring it all" remain..."It will be amazing, but I will be terrified because I was talking to Richard Griffiths about playing New York and he said the most stupid thing you can do is underestimate New York audiences."

I wasn't aware of some of the sordid sex dirt on Sully until I read something on Mic. Sig.'s blog recently ... appears Sully may not practice what he preaches (or at least didn't).
This is why everyone should just keep their mouth shut about everyone else and go about their own lives.

I thought Sullivan married Jeff Gannon. Racist, deceitful fag Repug Andy Pandy should be smothered to death with a dry cleaning bag.
As for the Father Mychal project, given that it's a children's book and there are still Catholics who want to claw the eyes out of anyone suggesting he was gay, the author's, "I took the most important parts of his story" probably translates as, "I put him back in the closet."

Sordid sex dirt? Sex is only sordid if you are not the one doing it.

I know I must be the only guy on this site who thinks Jason Preston is hot, maybe I am still thinking about those MH photos that were online awhile back of his big ...smile. But I think he looks really hot in the new h/x showing off the tattoo. I really don't think he and Marc are engaged though, might be some wishful thinking on his part. He's cute tho.

I was staying a few doors down from them on the beach in PTown and it was the saddest looking arrangement ceremony I've ever seen. I agree with fivefathoms also.

OK, I must be missing something here - is someone posting here deliberately using other people's nicks?

Mika's a popular new pop singer. Perez helped break him to American audiences, he also put Amy Winehouse on the map here. And Mika's gay, although only semi-out about it. I don't think he's said it in so many words, but he hasn't denied. The annoying thing is he's apparently worked out a deal with Perez, who no longer mentions he's gay, even though he'll out everyone else left and right. They're supposed to be personal friends. I like Perez, but I can't deny that protecting Mika's glass closet, just because they're personal friends, is certainly hypocritical.

HAZH,
yes. sadly, there are some people not creative enough to come up with a user name that distinguishes theirs from an existing one. i know that there is more than one "zeke," for example. one of them is ok, the other is a little dim. i wish andy could fix that. i also dislike the different "anons" and the postings under different names. one would think that some of these sissies had more personalities than sybil.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was someone sporging (spam-forging) or just coincidence. Just curious because someone posted using the same nick as me and then I saw two Zekes who appeared to be two different person. Doesn't bother me because I'm only a very infrequent poster without an established identity here, but it must annoy those who post here frequently.

@JOHNNY -- Ummmm, thanks, but I was being sarcastic. Andy's Mika posts are about as regular as the atomic clock.

ok, NOW i don't know wtf is going on.
Posted by: nic | Sep 8, 2007 1:18:53 PM
Nic - some would call this sporge - people forging other people nicks to spam a forum or newsgroups, although I don't frequent the forum here often enough to know if this happens enough to call it sporging. Not a coincidence now that we can see.
It's much easier to deal with this in a forum like this than in a newsgroup, but it depends on whether the owner of this site decides if the problem is big enough to warrant any action taken that may inconvenience other users.

Sorry, I've been using my name for my entire life. I should change it for the other "sissie"?
Posted by: zeke | Sep 8, 2007 11:38:03 PM
to the original ZEKE:
lol. no the zekey-come-lately, the imposter sissy should.
