The self-appointed spokes hag, Kathy Griffin, failed especially in Washington.
The Washington Post quotes the red head on her attempt to lobby Congress to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell:
“I was nervous the whole time because it’s not my world, obviously,” Griffin told us. “Also, I have a problem with the potty mouth, so I didn’t know how far I could go when joking with these legislators — and I learned not far at all. Almost every one of my jokes was taken as a serious statement, even when I asked the majority whip to whip me.”
While we appreciate the help … Yeah.

Last night on Ugly Betty — I know, I’m the only one still watching — Justin got his first gay kiss. And to my knowledge it very well be the first kiss between two gay teens on a major network during prime time.
It was so well written and executed. Bravo. It made my heart — yes, I still have one of those — smile. And it reminded me of a time when even I was innocent.
A re-cap is available at After Elton.

Well, it will be another two years before we get to use the word “caucus” again.
With vote totals from caucus straw polls still being tallied late Tuesday, former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff appeared poised to score a first-round win over incumbent U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in the race for the Democratic Senate nomination.
Meanwhile, upstart Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck, the Weld County district attorney, was in a dead heat with former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton, who had been viewed as the front-runner based on leads in fundraising, endorsements and polling.
Keep reading at The Denver Post about how two underdogs won over Colorado voters.

Bennet
Romanoff
Tonight Democrats and Republicans will gather for the state’s caucuses.
Ha! We said caucus!
And while both parties have plenty to sort out, a lot of eyes are going to be on the Michael Bennet/Andrew Romanoff face off. CNN weighs in:
Bennet was plucked out of political obscurity last year, when Gov. Bill Ritter named him to replace Sen. Ken Salazar, who stepped down to serve as Interior Secretary in the Obama Administration. To reach November’s general election, Bennet first needs to successfully fend off a Democratic primary challenge from former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.
The Huff Post has some interesting info regarding the “race,” as well.
To find the nearest caucus go to coloradodems.org or cologop.org.
P.S. You must have been registered in the party of your persuasion in the 2008 general election to participate tonight.

Either The Denver Post has seriously committed itself to covering GLBT issues or it’s been some really slow news cycles the past couple of days. First the broadsheet devoted significant coverage to One Colorado’s statewide survey, now a front page story about the move to queer the Census.
Tom McGhee reports:
The GLBT Community Center of Colorado is working with the task force on the campaign, which also asks people to sign an online petition requesting a census question allowing people to identify themselves as members of the GLBT community.
“LGBT people are basically invisible in the survey that is supposed to reflect the diversity of America’s population — and that’s a big problem,” says thequeerthecensus.orgwebsite.
Data collected through the census are used to determine political representation and direct federal funds to state and local governments. Campaign organizers worry that GLBT communities won’t receive the funding if they aren’t counted as groups.
Bravo. But noting the item below the Census story has me think The Post is more or less scrambling for stories: “Men’s woes may indicated higher death risk.”
Regardless it’s a story every man should read.
Men who suffer from the problem, which some consider more an emotional than a physical issue, are twice as likely to succumb from cardiovascular disease or heart attacks as those who do not have the problem, German researchers reported Monday in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

Ever thought, “man, I want a piece of that gayzette Manly Monday stud!”
Well, now you can. We’ve just gotten word that the local hottie we featured a few weeks ago, Eric Lunsford, is single!
Turns out his now ex-boyfriend used Eric’s guest list at Tracks — where Eric used to dance — to woo a former flame of his own. Classy!
So now this go-go is on the go for a new beau!
“I want a nice guy for once, with confidence that will actually pursue me,” Lunsford told gayzette.
“I want to be chased for once. I like guys who are masculine, I don’t like overly feminine guys, but someone who can still go get a manicure without throwing a fit.”
His requirements in a mate are as followed:
- Honesty
- Determination
- Brains
- Conversational
- Basic good looks
Feel free to message Eric on Facebook if you want to see if something sparks! Or slip your number to him in his jock strap at Boyztown, his new home!
P.S. Eric is verse — but isn’t easy.

Here’s a touching story from The Associated Press about a 75-year-old man who is giving life a second chance as a woman.
Farthing’s life was sprinkled with hints.
As a boy, his mother asked one day how he liked school. “It was OK,” Farthing said. “But it would be better if I was a girl.”
He didn’t want to do the things other boys did. Girls didn’t want him around. He fought every haircut.
“We’ve got a homo on our hands,” he overheard his father say.

From the D.C. Agenda:
A new analysis released Wednesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention shows that the rate of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men, also referred to as MSM, is more than 44 times greater than that of other men and 40 times greater than that of women.
Wrap it up girls!

Most Coloradans support the rights for same-sex couples that heterosexual couples currently have via marriage, a poll released yesterday found.
The poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Osner Research and American Viewpoint was taken by 1,006 residents of Colorado between Jan. 25 and Jan. 28. All those polled were over 18 and was conducted by a random digit dial. There was a margin or error of 3 percent.
Commissioned by One Colorado in conjunction with its statewide survey of GLBT citizens, the poll shows nearly two-thirds of Coloraodans believe “homosexuality is a way of life that should be accepted by society.”
“While Colorado has made progress in recent years the survey shows there is much work still to be done,” said Lea Ann Purvis, Interim Executive Director of One Colorado. “The poll shows Coloradans are ready for change and believe LGBT people should be treated with respect and equality.”
More than 70 percent of those polled support expansive legal rights for same-sex couples. In 2006 48 percent of Colorado voters supported domestic partnership legislation.
Other findings of the survey include:
- 89 percent support the right for committed same-sex couples to visit a partner in the hospital.
- 76 percent support the right for committed same-sex couples to inherit property after their partner’s death with the same tax exemptions that a spouse would receive.
- 64 percent support the right for committed same-sex couples to enjoy all rights given to heterosexual married couples.
- 56 percent support the right for committed same-sex couples to adopt children.

An 18-year-old lesbian student from Jackson Mississippi just wanted to go to prom. Her date planned to wear a tuxedo. But rather than let Constance McMillen, and the rest of the Itawamba County school enjoy prom, the school board decided to cancel the whole thing.
Yeah, you read that right: Over a lesbian wanting to wear a tuxedo!
The district announced yesterday it wouldn’t host the April 2 prom. This after the American Civil Liberties Union stepped in and told school officials a policy banning same-sex prom dates violated students’ rights.
McMillen told the Associated Press that she felt some hostility toward her on the Itawamba County Agricultural High School campus.
“Somebody said, ‘Thanks for ruining my senior year.’” McMillen said.
A memo was released by the school board on February 5th, clearly outlining the criteria for bringing a date to prom, and one requirement was that the person must be of the opposite sex.
I hope the parents of these two girls realize that by canceling prom for the entire school, the school board has placed their daughters into a very hostile environment. They need to pack it up and get the hell out of dodge to protect their girls.
