NEWS: Cruising,"Gay" Republican Scandals, Surge in HIV cases, & Anti-Gay AE Ads?
CRUISING CODE: Is he tapping his foot because he's anxious or is my stall neighbor looking for a quickie? It's tough to read between the lines nowadays. Our friends over at Gawker have given us a little help. Now you can cruise guys without all that messing confusion.....
TOM FORD'S "VAGINAL" COLOGNE?: Tom Ford has a new cologne on the market with a troubling ad campaign. The ads show the cologne precisely placed in front of a sweaty model's hairless vagina. What exactly does this cologne smell like? Sweaty supermodel vagina? Yum.
GAY REPUBLICAN SCANDALS: It sure has been a tough year for self loathing closet case Republicans. How many Republican politicians can you fit in the closet? ALL OF THEM! Ted Haggard, Mark Foley amongst others are featured in the Top 5 Republican Gay Sex Scandals (in the past 12 months!).
MARC JACOBS' BOYTOY ROCKS DEAD MOUSE BROOCH: Jason Preston - who is Marc' new on-again, off-again boy toy - took to the streets of NYC wearing a hideous dead mouse brooch. Apparently it was a gift from Courtney Love. Nuf said....
HIV RATES ON THE RISE FOR GAY NYC MEN: A recent study has shown an very alarming trend in HIV rates for young gay and bisexual men in NYC. The reports shows that "over the past six years, the total number of new HIV diagnoses among gay men under 30 has risen 33%." The report shows that gay/bisexual men over 30 showed a decrease in HIV rates by 22.2%. The greatest burden continues to be on young Black and Hispanic men who continue to test at higher rates for HIV.
AMERICAN EAGLE SUPPORTING HOMOPHOBIC ADS?: A new ad campaign by American Eagle, It's a Mall World, has caught the ire of many LGBT activists. The ads - which can be seen on the AE website and shown during MTV's The Real World: Sydney - feature a "stereotypical gay man" in a recent episode. Check out the video and decide for yourself. Some say it's shameful and others say it is no different than Perez Hilton or William Sledd (who both got shows for their apparent gay personalities).
Changing the World: One PSA at a time....
PSA's - or Public Service Announcements - for those of you that are acronym-challenged have been popping up all over this week. Two new campaigns are bringing attention to the LGBT (that's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community. Tylenol PM has partnered with the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center and the Ali Forney Center in NYC to make some noise about homeless queer youth. Tylenol PM has made a donation to both organizations and a portion of sales from Tylenol PM will go back to the significant work that each organization is doing on opposite ends of the country. One of my first ever gay role models is featured in the ad - Wilson Cruz. Cruz played Rickie on MTV's My So Called Life who was a homeless gay high school student. I remember running as fast as I could from school everyday to make it home before the show started. After seeing the show I realized there was hope for me. Now, let's hope that parents realize it is never acceptable to kick out your child simply because they are not heterosexual or defy your notions of gender. If you can't support these two organizations - or an alternative org in your area - make sure to pick up Tylenol PM for your next sleepless night.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has teamed up with celebrities to launch their "Be An Ally & A Friend." PSA Campaign. The campaign features such stars as Ugly Betty's sexy Eric Mabius, former boyband -now Broadway - Lance Bass, West Hollywood diva Wilson Cruz, Jerry O'Connell, Six Feet Under's entertaining - yet slightly crazy - Rachel Griffiths, newly out T. R. Knight, and lesbian tennis star Martina Navratilova amongst a slew of others. A new video will be released every two weeks starring a new batch of homo-friendly celebs.
Here's to PSA's - the new tool for world peace? Or at least the cure for good ole homophobia...
