Ben’s back in town to perform at Mary’s Attic this Friday and Saturday and we highly recommend the show.

We chat with Ben about his FAME moment when he started posing for “artistic” photos and wound up naked with only his ukelele to cover his manhood.

Madonna’s was awfully courageous to do a collaboration with Justin Timberlake, after all, the last diva to share the stage with him had a wardrobe malfunction that left her titty a poppin’ in front of millions of eyes.

We borrowed some of Madonna’s courage and took on her invitation to create our own cover and video of the song, “Four Minutes.”

Madge is picking the “best ones” to feature in a TV special. We’re SO wanting to be in this. Will it happen? Only if you believe in faeries.

The controversial memorial to the the gay victims of the Holocaust was unveiled in Berlin. The memorial is simple grey rectangular stone and features a video clip of two men kissing.

Some people are comforted that the memorial is ready for the 75th anniversary of the Nazis raid and book burning of the Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute, which was run, of course by Magnus Hirschfeld, an early gay activist. The Institute advocated sex education, contraception, the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, women’s emancipation, worldwide civil rights and the social acceptance for gay and transgender people in a time when most people couldn’t even begin to discuss these things.

This raid on the Institute signaled the beginning of the persecution of gays under Nazism and some people say that the famous pictures and archival newsreel film of Nazi book-burnings are usually of Hirschfeld’s library ablaze.

On a local note, Henry Gerber, founder of Chicago’s Society for Human Rights in 1924, the first gay rights organization in the United States, was in contact with the Hirschfeld Institute and was inspired by the German homophile emancipation movement. The local gay and lesbian Gerber-Hart library, is partly named after him.

Join us as we chat about twins separated at birth suing for damages and our cover of Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland’s new song “Four Minutes.” Hey!
