It’s not easy being pink, especially when you’re a gay Republican, or part of the Pink Elephant party, as I like to call it.
You’re an outsider both in gay circles and in the Republican party, a stranger in a strange land.
I’ve really been enjoying reading about Barbara Walter’s life in her tell-all memoir “Audition” where she marvels at the appeal of talk-show foil Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She’s the sexy but conservative Republican on the show who for some reason or another always stands by her man, but in this case it’s the disaster we all know as President George W Bush.
I thought it would be fun to find a gay Republican to talk to on the show, one who doesn’t fit the mold of a staunch, suit-wearing conservative. Well here he is, and did I mention that he likes to wear male style wigs when he goes out to bars.
Say hello to Marcus Haynes- make-up artist, image consultant, communications researcher and GAY REPUBLICAN. Yes, his MySpace page has a Louis Vuitton background, and yes, he loves his designer bags.
Besides talking about American politics and our dire need for Universal Health Care system, Marcus really knows his make-up and can make anyone look flawless.
I was a bit scared when he took his brush to my face, worrying he would make me look like a fierce drag queen. Nothing wrong with that, but today I wanted to look like a hot dude.
Here’s a photo of my face as Marcus puts on Christian Dior “Diorshow Brow” eyebrow gel on my face. Be gentle Marcus!
Barbie has a brand new look and it’s a dirty whore. Well, not a dirty whore but Barbie as Black Canary, the DC comic book character. Some right wing Christians are saying that she looks more like an S&M dominatrix than a superhero. You go Barbie and get your freak on because we know that Ken isn’t given it to you.
Perez Hilton is getting sued after publishing on the front of his site a homophobic email he received. Diane Wargo wrote the famous blogger and called him a “Fat Gay Pig” and is now suing him for $25 million because she lost her job after she was inundated with hate mail from Perez readers. She was on company time and used her company email address to spew her idiocy so her boss canned her.
I’m not one to publicly display people’s email addresses when they email nasty comments but I’m glad Perez did it to her. This homophobic crap has got to stop and people should be held accountable for their actions. He should sue her! And I should sue them both for having to blog about it.
We’ve got a couple of fun threads in the forums right now. The first one, Strangest thing you’ve had sex with, was started by Knicknack11 because he heard the topic on the show and became interested in what other people were into. And the other thread is So try to gross me out! started by Marc Felion. It’s pretty gross but we’re trying to keep it to hot guys that have something gross going on. It’s not for the squeamish.

In many non-western countries, especially places in the so-called “Muslim World” you see men holding hands, expressing affection for each other and even going as far as giving each other flowers. What’s up with that? Are all guys in Afghanistan gay or do they think about same-sex relationships in a different way than we do?
Gay […]
