New gay hotel to open in Times Square: Out NYC

Click for larger view

New York City is set to welcome its first gay hotel.

The new complex on West 42nd Street, “Out NYC,” bills itself as a “place for gays and their friends and family to have a good time, to stay, play, eat, relax and revive,” according to owner Ian Reisner.

Reisner told 1010 WINS’ Al Jones that he prefers not to call the new place a gay hotel, but rather a straight-friendly hotel catering to the gay lifestyle.

“We’re built as a gay-oriented hotel, where straight friends and family can come in and enjoy themselves as well,” Reisner said.

Rooms at the mid-town Manhattan hotel will go for between $200-300 per night and come complete with nightclub, bar, cafe, restaurant and a 5,000 foot wellness center.

Reisner said the atmosphere at the “urban resort” will “feel almost like a cruise ship” for “everyone to enjoy and relax.”

Jon Stewart on Romney and Santorum’s latest gaffes

I’ve spoken recently with several people about the “game” that politics truly is.

The second half of this nails that issue. Rick Santorum tells HIS audience that President Obama is a snob for wanting Americans to go to some higher education. He then “clarifies” that by saying vocational schools are just as good an option.

What he doesn’t say is that three years ago, that’s exactly what President Obama urged Americans to do: four year college, community college, vocational school… Anything that would give an American an extra leg up on finding the job they want. Because knowledge helps us do that.

Wow. What a snob.

By the way, you do know that Rick Santorum has 3 university degrees, right?

George Clooney: “I don’t give a shit” if anyone thinks I’m gay

“I think it’s funny, but the last thing you’ll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, “These are lies!” That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I’m not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a shit.” – George Clooney speaking to The Advocate
