C'mon, get sappy

Out's 16th Annual Out 100 issue, celebrating the "100 most influential and inspirational gays, lesbians, and allies who continue to lead the community to future moments worth celebrating" (minus me because I removed myself from the running so somebody else would finally have a chance—for the snark-impaired, this is a joke), is upon us.

The mag is rolling out out honorees, which so far include the likes of Scissor Sisters, Michael Stipe, Lisa Cholodenko and Chris Colfer, who's been transformed into a Judy queen (glad somebody remembers her).

There will be an NYC party on the 18th that I won't be able to tell you about 'cuz I'm not invited (again, for the snark-impaired, this, too, is a joke—why would I be invited?). One day, bloggers will get their due! Actually, I'm guessing Andy Towle probably made the cut. I would think Andy, Joe Jervis, Pam Spaulding and the team behind AmericaBlog would be on Out's gaydar. Because they all deserve to make the cut.
