Wow – that National Organization for Marriage boycott is really killing Starbucks, isn’t? Check out how their stock price is doing.
NOM’s boycott, Dump Starbucks, urges customers across the world to stop supporting Starbucks.
A counter petition from SumOfUs.org aimed to thank Starbucks for standing up for marriage equality was launched shortly after. According to the SumOfUs petition: “Without support from companies like Starbucks, the gay marriage law might have failed.”
Today, the “Dump Starbucks” petition had less than 23,000 signatures — the other, to thank Starbucks for its support of LGBTQ rights, had more than 292,000. (source)
Starting tonight, Share Nightclub will host “The Biz: A Weekly Cast Party for Everyone” on Wednesdays (dark 3rd Wednesday of the month).
Each week Edie, Las Vegas actor, singer and dancer from the Las Vegas Strip will host “The Biz” giving an illusion of a New York cabaret show featuring the finest in Las Vegas entertainment on and off the Strip.
From Edit: “Since moving to Vegas four years ago from Manhattan, I’ve had a very strong desire to create a night that would bring the entire entertainment community together. We all work so hard we never get a chance to see one another. I personally do ten shows a week and Wednesdays are my Saturday. Wednesdays are traditionally a very slow night everywhere so I thought it would be a perfect for cast and crew of ‘all’ shows to hang out, sing, dance, laugh, decompress.”
Each week entertainers, singers, dancers, aerialist, poets, actors, comedians and more will perform live with a little drinking and comedy mixed in. ‘It’s what happens after the shows.’
The Green Room opens at 10 PM with 2-4-1 cocktails. Doors to the cabaret open at 11 PM and the show goes on until late in the morning on the 1st, 2nd & 4th Wednesdays.
Seating is open and there is NO Cover at Share Nightclub. For reserved seating email VIP@Sharenightclub.com
Share Nightclub is currently open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 11 PM – 3 AM and is located at 4636 Wynn Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103. 702-258-2861.
MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts did a segment this morning on the damaging NOM document dump with Truth Wins Out’s Wayne Besen and NOM’s Maggie Gallagher, but Gallagher failed to show even though she confirmed an hour beforehand, so Roberts just showed an empty chair.
Roberts later tweeted that there was a booking mistake and apparently Maggie Gallagher went to the wrong studio.
However, I’m glad this story is getting the air time and attention it warrants. This is really an important story – to find out this anti-gay organization has spent time and resources pitting different minorities against each other.
Seriously, folks, this world needs less divisiveness and more unity. There’s no way to spin this that comes out good.
Opera meets pop when 17-year-old Jonathan and 16-year-old Charlotte sing together. But can the duo convince Britain’s Got Talent Judges they’ve got what it takes to wow the nation?
The answer is a resounding ‘yes.’
Wow. Jonathan bowls the audience over with his amazing 17 year old voice, and the two together are clearly beautiful music together.
Bonus points for Jonathan: “We’ve come on here as a duo, we’ll stay as a duo.”
I was lucky to attend the dress rehearsal of this production at Lincoln Center a few years ago. Perfect casting, perfect music.
I just had to hear this today. Can you believe how gorgeous this is?

Check out the DJ for The Biz – DJ Jason Davies. Ok, any questions?
Jason is also a performer at Le Rêve, one of the sexiest, most sensual mega-shows in Las Vegas at The Wynn, in case that gives you an idea of how hot the music will be at The Biz.
Check out The Biz tomorrow night at Share Nightclub in Las Vegas. Promises to be the place to be.
“NOM’s underhanded attempts to divide will not succeed if Black Americans remember their own history of discrimination. Pitting bigotry’s victims against other victims is reprehensible; the defenders of justice must stand together.” – Julian Bond, Chairman Emeritus, NAACP
