Gay-rights legend David Mixner has made a name for himself by being take-no-prisoners when it comes to building up his community, but he's also a doll in person and clearly has a few friends.

Here, to celebrate blowing out 73 candles, 2,000 or so of his buddies — and the Gay Men's Chorus of L.A. — sing him “Happy Birthday,” a sight to behold and easy on the ears, too ...

Jonathan Schmitz, the Michigan man who went on an episode of Jenny Jones in 1995 to find out who his secret crush was, only to find out it was a male friend named Scott Amedure, who he murdered three days later, will be released from prison soon.

Schmitz only went down for second-degree murder in spite of ample evidence the shooting was premeditated. Keep reading for this and more hot links of the day ...

David Mixner, longtime out political consultant, onetime Clinton confidant and all-around great mind, turns in his most controversial essay for Towleroad yet.

Title? “America's Top Crime Family: The Trumps.”

Keep reading ...

After a health-related hiatus from writing, longtime gay politico David Mixner is back with a new Towleroad piece in which he flat out accuses Donald Trump of treason.

Too far? I don't think so.

Mixner writes:

Let us not be distracted with noise, sideshows and attempts to divide.  At this stage, we must be citizens first who are willing to overlook our differences and control our self-righteousness to save America..

Oran’s Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as a “citizen’s actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]. In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavor.”

President Donald Trump has committed treason.

Harsh? I don’t think so.
