Bobservations

This morning, as he was cleaning up after breakfast a little snippet of Latino music came across the television set and Carlos began shaking his groove thang across the kitchen. I calmly walked to the phone, picked it up, and said:
“911? I think my husband is having a seizure. A Latin seizure.”
Perhaps he’s getting his dance on because we have a looong weekend getaway planned for Asheville and the Biltmore and the Grove Park Inn.

There are some planned posts, but we’ll be gone Thursday to Monday.

Play nice y’all.

Last week One Million Moms, a Southern Poverty Law Center-rated hate group, encouraged its less than a million followers to express their outrage at the Hallmark Channel because it aired a series of ads produced by wedding website Zola.com featuring a lesbian couple.


::::gasp::::

And Hallmark caved, saying the channel does not air content “that are deemed controversial.” So … hate wins? 

Yeah, not so fast, because the LGBTQ+ community is no longer playing. See, same-sex marriage is not controversial, it’s legal, it’s the law, and a few days after announcing it would pull the commercial, and amidst a threatened boycott by our community and our allies, Hallmark reversed course and announced  it would be reinstating the ads and working with GLAAD to better represent the LGBTQ+ community.

One Million Moms has not commented on the move to reinstate the ads, cuz, you know, there aren’t a “million” moms they are about 100,000 and they are already looking into a new hate target.

Love wins again: all love.

I used to think Ivanka was the “good” _____ if there was such a thing.


Now, not so much. This week Complicit appeared at the Doha Forum, and instead of being interviewed by a journalist like every other member of the panel, Ivanka faked her interview using a public relation person from the State Department.

I guess Daddy’s Daughter Wife is just like Daddy.

So Jeff Van Drew, a moderate Democrat who barely won election to his first term, has switched to the GOP over the idea of impeaching the Criminal In Chief. Yeah, that’ll get you reelected, asshat. Even better to help you stay in office, many of your staffers have quit because you’re a pansy little flip-flopper.


Oh Jeff, you go on with your bad self. You pander to the criminal and the grifters and the goosesteppers and see how far it gets you.


Last March, RuPaul became the first drag queen to be honored with a star of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and then made herstory again as the first ever drag queen to cover Vanity Fair. And now, the drag superstar, singer, author and actor has made history again after being inducted into California’s Hall of Fame.


RuPaul Charles was inducted into California Museum’s California Hall of Fame by Governor Gavin Newsom:
“There is perhaps no one person that has done more to dismantle the limiting ‘man box' we put our boys and men into that RuPaul. RuPaul [and RuPaul’s Drag Race] has simply made American media and our larger culture a more inclusive place, and he has done it with incomparable fabulousness.”
True dat. Congratulations Mama Ru.

This week construction began on a Navy ship that will named for LGBTQ+ civil rights activist and icon Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to political office in California. Milk served in the Navy during the Korean war and came from a family with a history of serving in the Navy. 


The Navy announced in 2016 that Milk’s name would appear on a ship, along with other civil rights leaders, including abolitionist Sojourner Truth and suffragist Lucy Stone.

Good news, and Harvey deserves the honor.

Barry Cole Poyner, an Elder at anti-LGBTQ+ Kirksville Church of Christ in Missouri and professor at Truman State University, was arrested last week on charges of soliciting sexual favors from male college students on Grindr.


Poyner, who goes by the screenname ‘DILF’, was nabbed in a police sting while meeting a “student” at a gas station. ‘DILF’ had told the undercover officer that he wanted to have a “sugar daddy relationship” and asked for sexual favors in exchange for filling up the officer’s, um, gas tank and giving him an Arby’s gift card. 

Free gas and Arby’s in exchange for sex? Seriously? When the officer identified himself, Barry tried running but then pulled over and said he was just “trying to help” kids out … of their pants.

Poyner has been placed on suspension from both the church and the university. No word about his Grindr account, though.

Garrett Neff is an All-American Beauty model known for his early work with Calvin Klein as the face of jeans, underwear and the MAN fragrance.



Now 35, he launched his own swimwear line, KATAMA.


He’s a lot of things … classically handsome …he can rock a camelhair coat and briefs … and he’s good at hiding his junk.


He’s totes adorbs.

  2. Carlos, you go on with your bad self!
    Here's hoping that cutie pie Garrett has very large hands :)
    Lastly, DILF? DILF!? If that man is a DILF then I'm a MILF and we all know there're better odds of me getting hit by a rogue asteroid than receiving that designation!
    You boys have a good time!

  5. Bob do you remember that guy who went on YouTube crying and yelling to leave Britney Spears alone??? "LEAVE CARLOS ALONE! Your white ass is just jealous because you probably dance like a stick is up your butt"! Hahaha!
    All my Latino friends shake booty if some type of Latino music comes on.

    I think it scary that 100 000 is breeding! Watch your step Hallmark!

    Oh here we go again, bible/anti-gay comes out of the mouth all day... penis goes in all night, paid for penis at that!

    Yes to the last tweet but there certainly is no victory to such a close number. Three million is only one city or three fake hate groups.

  6. Omg again, Carlos is my spirit animal.
    Well, One Million Idiots are gonna he kept waiting. Did You know the rumor is that they’re more like two guys and a fax machine?
    Why is it always that the bigoted xtianists are super homophobic and go chasing dick at the drop of a hat? Also, if that’s not gayface I don’t know what it is.

    Have fun! Asheville is super cute. North Carolina right?
