I’m just putting this out there: if a story breaks about a man flattened with a cartoon frying pan by his husband because every single morning he sings and dances to that BK jingle:

♫ ♪ At BK, have it your way. You rule. ♪ ♫

It wasn’t me.

From 10/20 … Tuxedo wished no ill will for the former and current Occupant of the White House but felt he should have suffered like the average American with the virus.

So, the GOP says a Gun Registry is too hard to do, but registering Autistic Americans is information we need to have.

Oh GOP, kindly f**k all the way off.

I love that Diana Ross showed up  to the Met Gala and stopped the carpet in that fabulous hat and giant coat that was embroidered with the names of her five children and eight grandchildren, but the best part is when Christian Siriano noted that her dress was one from her own closet like she was sitting home in Connecticut and thought:

“I think I’ll go to the gala.”

And slay.

PS Of note is that 81-year-old Diana Ross is on a world concert tour.

The Felon wants to reopen Alcatraz, which has been closed since 1963, to house prisoners. May I suggest we turn Mar-Illegal into a prison since it already has one convicted felon there.

And it already has the guard tower …

There are those who say you shouldn’t have sand in your cakes and those who say sometimes it okay … which side do you fall on with these specific cakes?

Something to ponder … JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s championship trophy during White House celebration … JD Vance visited the Pope who died the very next day … JD Vance visited India and then a terrorist attack occurred and wear broke out … JD Vance endorsed his brother for mayor of Cincinnati and his brother lost 83% to 11%.

Stay away from JD Vance. And I’m not just talking to the furniture.

Speaking of the Met Gala, Andrew Scott nailed the assignment of the theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Bold color and a celebration of Black dandyism on a hot gay man. And while just looking at those shoes hurts my feet, they are fabulous!

Win, win.

In case you were wondering why the Resistance keeps targeting Target, here’s why … the average Target Team Member in America earns about $3,044 per month which means the Target CEO earns $2,188,636 a month.

Yeah, no wonder Target is anti-equity.

Aleksa Gavrilović's story began when he got scouted by a modeling agency while pursuing his dream of becoming a lawyer but … Would You Hit It?

I Didn't Say It ...

Ted Cruz, Texas senator and expert on masculinity … hold for laughter … on liberal men being unable to sexually satisfy a woman:

“How many radical leftists does it take to screw in a light bulb? That’s not funny! The left is so mad! They’re so unhappy! They’re so pissed off! And by way, if you were a liberal woman and you had to sleep with those weenies, you’d be pissed too. So respond with joy, have fun. Too many Republicans run around like they’ve got a stick somewhere it doesn’t belong.”

This from a man who allowed Thing 45 to call his wife ugly and his response was to throw his support behind the bully.

I bet Mrs. Cruz snipped off a little Teddy weenie.

Stephen Colbert, The Late Show Host, on Faux Christians in this country:

“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.”

You cannot call yourself a Christian and then not act like one because everyone, including your 'god,' sees it.

Brit Hume, proving his ignorance on Climate Change:

“Given the world situation we face now, with threats coming from multiple directions, climate change is a distraction. Climate change—worrying about climate change is almost a luxury. These are old fashioned threats that come from, you know, world powers that wish us ill. And, you know, China may say “We’ll be competitors and we won’t be adversaries,” or the rest of it. I think China is an adversary. I think Russia is, too. And I certainly think Iran is. And those threats are more immediate and more urgent than any threat that I think that climate change poses. So, let’s just hope that the administration, you know, doesn’t get too carried away with this. I was a little disturbed to see John Kerry at the table there today, our climate czar, because, you know, he thinks that’s job one and I guess for him it is. But I don’t think in terms of our national defense posture it’s anywhere near job one.” 

Hey Brit, the climate fails and the earth fails and everything dies, so nothing else matters. China won’t be an issue when the planet dies; or Russia or Iran and Iraq and North Korea. And so what is there to ‘defend’ if everything has been destroyed?

Jodie Foster, actor,  on who she is, what people think of her and what life is like today:

“My philosophy is what people say about me is none of my business. I am who I am and what I do. Expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life easier. We live in a world where funerals are more important than dead, marriage is more important than love and looks are more important than the soul. We live in a packaging culture that despises content. "

That last line is everything.

I LOVE her.

Andrew Scott, actor, on how acting helped “emancipate” him from shame around being gay:

“I’m happy to be able to say that to be emancipated from shame has been genuinely the biggest achievement of my life. For a long time, I have felt very comfortable with myself [as a gay man], but it doesn’t take much to go back there—something a taxi driver can say can still wound you. If he might say, ‘You’ve got a wife?’ You could go, ‘No, I don’t,’ or is that sort of a lie by omission? When I was 18 or 19, I was playing gay parts but I wasn’t out. A lot of people within the industry were queer, so I was surrounded by them and then, bit by bit, started to feel confident.”

I know this feeling, though I, too, have been emancipated from the so-called ‘shame.’ Every so often a client will be chatting with me and notice my wedding ring and ask what my wife’s ring looks like, and I always say:

“I don’t know what my wife’s ring looks like, but my husband’s looks just like this.”

And there you have it, I just came out ... again!

It’s baby steps, coming out, because the assumption is that you’re straight because most people are straight. I mean, we’ve come out at the grocery store, and the bank, and the local restaurants simply by behaving as a couple, but will still get the “Do you have a wife” question.

Andrew Scott Comes Out

I am a huge fan of the BBC/PBS airings of Sherlock, and while I love Benedict Cumberbatch, I am not quite a Cumberbitch, as yet. I am more a fan of Martin Freeman, who plays Watson and of Andrew Scott as Moriarty.

I became even a bigger fan, when I read this:

“Mercifully, these days people don't see being gay as a character flaw. But nor is it a virtue, like kindness. Or a talent, like playing the banjo. It's just a fact. Of course, it's part of my make-up, but I don't want to trade on it. I am a private person; I think that's important if you're an actor. But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person. Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.”

Privacy, not secrecy. I like that and, well, I like me an Irishman like Scoot.

So, welcome out, Andrew, and as our gift to you from HOMO HQ we’ll be sending you a copy of The Gay Agenda and the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven. While it’s mostly an American appliance, it would be useful when warming up your Bangers and Mash … and by that I mean food.

Welcome out.
