Official Pet Shop Boys "Memory of the Future" lyrics video:
Reality TV continues its love affair with the mob (full disclosure: I intensely dislike our culture's love affair with the mob) via Logo's new series In the Big House, premiering July 23. It follows a mobster what just got sprung from the pen who arrives home to find out that his family is now running a gay bar. How very Stonewall!
Taylor Garrett of Logo's The A-List: Dallas is alleging a second attack in six weeks, both of which he claims are because he is a gay conservative who lunches with Ann Coulter. More specifically, he thinks gay liberals expect him to live on our "plantation" (the new in word for Republicans to use as they love race-baiting) because he's gay, meaning being a Republican is something gay people simply won't allow of one of our tribe members.
His first attack was highly suspicious and still is. People were right to question it.
This time, I assume he has already called in the police because the attack was vandalism on his car followed by a blow to his eye. If he didn't call in the police right away, I would wonder why.
Prove it!
As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.
Of whom are you more jealous?
Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.

With thanks to Dave for the tip: It's gross enough that LOGO would feature Ann Coulter on their new Dallas A-List spin-off—ratings are nice, but (1) will they even happen over such a stunt? and (2) she's as vile as any public figure this country has produced in the past hundred years.
But what's with this—LOGO's blog NewNowNext writes that she's "always been somewhat supportive of the gay community" before saying "politics aside," blahblahblah.
Logo and MTV have announced that 365gay will cease to exist effective September 30. A shame.
I doubt this has anything to do with the new season of The A-List
UPDATE: It's real, but Reichen tweets me that "the site is great and I wanted to express myself." So he may not necessarily be looking for a husband out of this:
Is this fake? How could this guy not meet men just by waking up and walking outside?
My friend John's been trying to get me to notice this new site Gay Bachelor Blog, but I've resisted. It's impossible to ignore it, however, when A-Lister Reichen Lehmkuhl is on it. His main (stated) requirement is "a guy who doesn't watch TV or read gossip, and who feels gossip to be as pointless and low-life as I do."
The star of a gossipy TV show doesn't like TV or gossip...next he'll be looking for a man who doesn't take fitness seriously because it's for losers.
Contradictory nature aside, I'm sure Reichen would be a great catch for countless guys out there. If I were to say he already has been, I'd be accused of being bitterly jealous of his perfect body and would not be able to deny it.
