The gayzette is often known for it’s shock value. But nothing was more shocking in the last issue than JR.’s ad! Hence forth every “First Friday” will feature a fetish — yes, we said FETISH — theme! So, bust out your leather boys. And show off you’re freak at the 17th Avenue watering hole.
P.S. There’s an underwear contest too at 11 p.m. for $100. Maybe, we’re going to have to take the camera out …

A new non-profit is looking to unify the state’s GLBT agenda.
According to an article in today’s Denver Post, two non-profits and a political action group, have teamed up to figure out just what you need and/or want as a gay Coloradan.
The new 501 C 3 is asking GLBT Coloradans to take a survey to gauge the needs and understanding of new laws already passed that help the community — like second parent adoption and designated beneficiaries.
“The questions generally are trying to get at what are people’s issues and how passionate are they about them,” Lea Ann Purvis the interim executive director for One Colorado told the daily.
The organization’s board chairman, Bobby Clark, of ProgressNow Colorado, said a unifying movement for the state needs to happen. The hundreds of groups and organizations that advocate for gay Coloradans isn’t enough.
“We need an organization that can really galvanize us and bring us together as a community,” the Post quoted him.
Picking up the tab for One Colorado (an annual budget of $350,000 to $500,000): Tim Gill and his foundation.
The confidential survey can be taken here.
Neither Purvis nor Clark were immediately available to speak with the gayzette.
Just one of those days …
