The other day Carlos said the most terrifying thing to me:

“I was reading one of my Science Alert emails and—”

It’s at that point that I panic and start thinking if there’s enough time for me to unbraid one of the braided kitchen rugs and fashion it into a noose and kill myself before the Science Alert continues, but alas, I am wrong.

“They’re saying now that Splenda had an adverse effect on DNA, so you shouldn’t use it.”

“I don’t use Splenda. We have raw sugar or agave in the hou—”

“Well, it’s also in soda.”

“I don’t drink soda.”

“You shouldn’t because it’s bad for you—”

“I don’t.”

“It’s bad for you.”

And now I think I need a Macrame Alert email on noose making.

This week’s Tuxedo is from March 2020, and the new toy I bought him and then instantly felt kinda guilty:

“Tell Me ….  am I a bad parent because I gave my cat a leopard pillow?

To be fair, he only used it to rest his head; he didn’t try murdering one of his own species.

This is model and social media influencer Daniel Rumfelt and he’s offering cakes. Who is up for it?

I know the MAGATS will just love this, until they read all the way through. Oh I kid, I mean until they have someone read it for them.

It seems America’s top-selling beer is no longer Bud Light after MAGAts saw transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney’s Instagram post showing off a customized Bud Light can and they assumed Bud Light makes you trans or something.

But, while they may celebrate the toppling of Bud Light, America’s new best-selling beer is from … Mexico. It’s Modelo Especial, the Mexican lager brewed near Mexico City by Constellation Brands.

Now they will have to find a way to boycott Modelo because, you know, immigrants.

I was watching The Tonys this past Sunday because, well, gay, and laughed when actor Denée Benton came for Ron DeSantis. Benton was saluting the 2023 recipient of the excellence in theater education award, Jason Zembuch Young of South Plantation High School in Plantation, Florida, and she said:

“I’m certain that the current grand wizard—I’m sorry, excuse me, governor of my home state of Florida …”

And the crowd roared.

Of Note: This past week a group of Nazis has been stationed outside Disney World flying their Swastika flags and DeSantis for President flags.

MAGAts tine heads are exploding again this week because Cracker Barrel has come out for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging:

“We have a responsibility to live up to our mission of Pleasing People each day, ensuring that every member of our team and every guest feels at home, feels cared for like family, and feels like they belong … Our teams work hard to create a culture of hospitality that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive to everyone who walks through our doors ... Discrimination, overt or through unconscious bias, has no place at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.”

That’s right, while Target caves to anti-LGBTQ+ hate, Cracker Fucking Barrel has stepped up for our community.

Also during The Tony’s, Michael Arden won for directing the revival of Parade and during his speech he reclaimed a gay slur when he said:

“Growing up, I was called the f-word more times than I could remember and all I can say now is I’m a faggot with a Tony!”

And the crowd roared again, even though CBS bleeped the word during the broadcast.

Plus: Broadway stars Alex Newell,  left, and J Harrison Ghee, right, have made LGBTQ+ history as the first openly non-binary Tony Award winners. Newell won for Featured Actor in a Musical for their role as Lulu in “Shucked,” while Ghee won Leading Actor in a Musical for their role as Jerry/Daphne in the revival of “Some Like It Hot.”

The Tony’s; so fabulously gay!

Jonathan Stuart Bailey is an English actor, singer and out gay man, who will be co-starring with My-Husband-In-My-Head, Matt Bomer, in Showtime’s Fellow Travelers where they play lovers. But this really isn’t about that, it’s: Would You Hit It?
