  • Actually, we do mean gay as in happy
    Dec 01 2012 | Speaking of studies, a recent study at the University of Montreal shows that gay men who have come out to friends and family are generally happier than closeted and straight guys. The study found that out gay men were less likely to suffer from depression and have fewer physiological problems tha
  • Gay man invades the Playboy Mansion
    Dec 01 2012 | I'm not usually one to give in to celebrity schadenfreude, since most of the time I don't give a donkey-bonking shit about celebrities' lives. However, with the title "I Went to the Playboy Mansion (and It Was Kinda Depressing)," by Vice writer Jamie Taete, whose other titles i
  • WBC hates snags
    Dec 01 2012 | Megan Phelps-Roper and her sister, Grace, granddaughters of Fred Phelps, malevolent overlord of the Westboro Baptist Church, have publically left the organization. In a blog post Megan discussed (quoting Catwoman from Dark Knight Rises) how her name, and that of her sister's, has become assoc
  • When you wish upon a star
    Dec 01 2012 | It's a rags-to-riches story worthy of Disney. George Kalogridis started as a busboy at a Disney restaurant in 1971. Over a career that spans more than 40 years he's held executive positions with Disneyland Resort, Disney Resort Paris, Epcot and with Disney World's Travel Operations.
  • Not so super man
    Dec 01 2012 | DC Comics, responsible for the Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern franchises, among many, is drawing criticism for commissioning anti-gay Mormon writer Orson Scott Card to write installments of a new digital-first Superman. Scott, primarily a science fiction author, is well-known for his
  • VIDEO: Love, down to a science
    Dec 01 2012 | I suppose it's that time of year: the boys at AsapScience have love on the brain.  This time around they look at the science of a brain in love and how said brain looks (probably unsurprisingly) similar to one on cocaine. So I guess Kesha was completely right -- your love is my drug.
  • VIDEO: The full monty (fantastically NSFW)
    Dec 01 2012 | The term "Not safe for work" has always bothered me, mostly because I would never want to work someplace where I couldn't get some full-frontal nudity whenever I feel like it. Male Full-Frontal Nudity Supercut shows the good, the bad, the uglies of mainstream film genitalia and conv
  • Confirmed bachelors
    Dec 01 2012 | Tired of plebes? Feel like dating a celebrity? Just in time for V-Day, Out magazine has you covered, with the third annual 100 Most Eligible Bachelors. They even provide Twitter accounts and Facebook pages in case you "want to make a move." Because being blocked and restraining orders
  • Happily never after
    Dec 01 2012 | For those of you who are celebrating Singles Awareness Day (SAD) remember that Disney taught us all growing up that for every beautiful princess there is a prince (of a charming or roguish variety) waiting to face mortal peril to save us, marry us and live happily ever after with us. Blech. Fo
  • Getting an art-on
    Dec 01 2012 | Sometimes I wish I was rich -- usually when I'm around amazing art. It happened this past November when a Mikel Marton work was included in Art Attack, Buddies' annual fundraising auction. I seriously debated with myself about how far in debt I'd go to have the piece on my wall. I rem
  • VIDEO: Adam and RiRi
    Dec 01 2012 | I'm not a big Adam Lambert fan, or much of a Rihanna fan either, but I saw this song and I really liked it! I don't have much to say other than that. I just wanted to share Adam Lambert's (who's looking really gorgeous) nice cover of Rihanna's "Stay" with all you lov
  • Smells like queer spirit
    Dec 01 2012 | Today is the birthday of rock legend Kurt Cobain, who would have been 46. Queerty has a fantastic quote from an interview Cobain did with The Advocate in 1993, in which he expounds on his life among the gays and his somewhat fluid sexuality. My favourite Cobain quote, however, will always be, &qu
  • Talk about being hung in a gallery
    Dec 01 2012 | It's one of those weird reflexive moments that happens all too often when art meets real life. An exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna gathers together hundreds of paintings, sculptures and photographs featuring nude men and enjoys a great deal of success (with an extended run), albeit
  • A Gorey tale
    Dec 01 2012 | As anyone who has visited Google's home page probably knows, today is the birthday of the macabre author and illustrator Edward Gorey. Gorey is known for his bleak, often wonderfully depressing illustrations and stories. I was first introduced to his work through a production by York University
  • Union jacking off
    Dec 01 2012 | Now, I'm no mathematician, but let's think about this for a bit. European news site Pink News wrote about how information has been released that shows that between May 2011 and July 2012 computers in the British Parliament had accessed gay cruising sites 3,459 times and porn websites 2,45
  • GBFFs?
    Dec 01 2012 | Please don't take this as gospel. If there's one thing I don't want to do by sharing this it's to spread some asinine stereotype. Because it is an interesting social experiment . . . by the Texas Christian University. I guess the sentiment is nice enough: a study of straight
  • Making it up
    Dec 01 2012 | American femme-lesbian fashion entrepreneur Natalia Ramirez and I have something in common: we both find androgyny sexy. That's why Ramirez is marketing her new makeup line, Enter Pronoun, specifically as unisex products, in the hope of ushering "in a new era where beauty is redefin
  • Winter is cumming
    Nov 30 2012 | “Hey guys, get your fix here, cuz Season 3 isn’t for a while yet,” says Scarlett LaFlamme, producer of the Game of Thrones-themed burlesque show entitled A Dirty Dance with Dragons: Game of Thrones Burlesque. A desperate Game of Thrones addict, LaFlamme is intentionally taking her
  • Next gay theatre review: Snow White
    Nov 30 2012 | Poor Rob Ford. While whichever mayor is in office is usually ribbed in Ross Petty's annual pantomime, our current (for the next few days, anyway) civic leader is zinged viciously — so much so that Sue-Ann Levy would cry foul and roll over in her journalistic grave — much to the delig
  • Allen Shugar's Floating Leaf opens new gallery
    Nov 29 2012 | Allen Shugar, a proud Torontonian and an established gay painter, turns a new leaf this fall with his exhibit Floating Leaf. His solo show officially opens Urban Gallery, a new arts and events space. Brian Bantugan: What are the advantages of being a gay artist in Toronto? Allen Shugar: I have
