Sir Elton's Had Them All!

ejohnbw.jpg - 5.44 K What about the Backstreet Boys? Yeah, they make videos, but those boys can sing their arses off. You heard them tonight.

They're brilliant. Those boys can sing. They have my ultimate respect. Some of the others I don't know about ...I've slept with all the boy bands. I know them all. TLC, the Dixie Chicks – I don't know about them.

Elton John—quoted in The Age newspaper, February 25, Melbourne, Australia


It Happened in the Front Seat, Your Honor

A ferret sentenced to death for biting a policeman's penis received a court pardon yesterday when his owner escaped conviction on a charge of illegally bringing him into Queensland.

Nothing More Inspiring than Praying at Football Games

footballpray.jpg - 8.08 K I'm very pleased to announce the hiring of Ken Karchner as the new head football coach at Liberty University…It is important to note that all of our athletic endeavors are done to the glory of God and our student athletes are deeply committed to sharing their faith with their athletic rivals. There is nothing more inspiring than witnessing our students gathering with their opponents to pray, hand-in-hand, following a sporting event (whether we win or lose).

Rev. Jerry Falwell—The Liberty Alliance--Falwell Confidential, February 25


Expanding Behavioral Choices

All of the prefixes to the word SEXUAL are silly. Especially the ones like hetero and homo. I think they should just be PRO.

reverett.jpg - 6.65 K Speaking of Andrew Sullivan

I hate that type of person… That's really fascist behavior. Horrible.

Marry Rich, Divorce Early

I just want to marry a rich gay guy so I can have a gay divorce, so I can soak him. I already look like Anna Nicole Smith. I can act like her.

To GLAAD on Paramount:
Boycott, Don't Butt-Kiss

drlaura1a.jpg - 10.23 K GLAAD's position on 'keeping a place at the Paramount table' is wrong. No other civil rights movement would allow a hate monger to spew their viscousness on their own show on National television. This community needs to circumvent GLAAD's decision, and effectively, not support anything that Paramount does until they cancel her show. This includes, but is not limited to, picketing every television station that has signed on to carry the show, and not going to movies produced by Paramount. Perhaps we could do one national day of picketing?

For many years, I was signed with, and performed in pilots and television shows for ABC in the 70's. I know how they think, and what they respond to.

The only thing, they respond to is a direct threat to their revenue, and if that doesn't work, loss of revenue. GLAAD's dealing with this issue, is not only ineffective, but totally out of line with the feelings of the rest of the community, As we learned with 'don't ask, don't tell," our "leadership "must not compromise our civil rights. With or without GLAAD, we can stop Paramount from televising Dr. Laura. And if they still choose to do so, we can make it cost far more than they bargained for!

Robin Tyler— excerpted from onstage remarks, February 24


Protease Inhibitors Aren't the Best Answer

We're now learning that in most instances it's easier to survive 10 years of HIV infection than 10 years of the protease inhibitors and older nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors like AZT and d4T.

A Lesbian Journalist Comes Out in Iowa

Many, many people don't know a gay person. At least, they don't know that they know a gay person. I wanted to introduce them to one. I came from Moline. I'm the youngest of four girls. I'm a journalist and a columnist. I love dogs and cats and rabbits and I'm scared to death of snakes. I like cheesecake and I don't like coffee. I'm opinionated and, sometimes, too quick to judge. I had a problem with gambling, but I kicked it. I believe in God. I adore my family. I'm no good at saving money.

Barb Ickes—"A comfortable confession: Now you know"—Quad City Times, February 21
