LGBTQ news and entertainment
I posted the hot remix of Kylie Minogue’s new holiday song, “Every Day’s Like Christmas,” a few days ago. But today we get the official music video for the song.
It’s a sweet video, especially since it includes current real-life bearded bf Joshua Sasse, who could not look hotter. Woof.
You can find Kylie Christmas on iTunes here.
Merry merry!

I’m heading to Mexico later this week to celebrate hot hubby’s birthday.
The beach, the sun, oh – and maybe this guy?
Longtime art professor Steve Locke, of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, shares a chilling episode of being stopped by police because he “fit the description” of a recent crime.
On one hand, you might say, “Well, this is how the police work.”
But please click over and read his account of what went through his head at the time.
Because he “fit the description.”
If you are a white male in America, it may be very hard for you to understand why this is troubling.
An excerpt:
I noticed the police car in the public lot behind Centre Street. As I was walking away from my car, the cruiser followed me. I walked down Centre Street and was about to cross over to the burrito place and the officer got out of the car.
“Hey my man,” he said.
He unsnapped the holster of his gun.
I took my hands out of my pockets.
“Yes?” I said.
“Where you coming from?”
“Home.”
Where’s home?”
“Dedham.”
How’d you get here?”
“I drove.”
He was next to me now. Two other police cars pulled up. I was standing in from of the bank across the street from the burrito place. I was going to get lunch before I taught my 1:30 class. There were cops all around me.
I said nothing. I looked at the officer who addressed me. He was white, stocky, bearded.
“You weren’t over there, were you?” He pointed down Centre Street toward Hyde Square.
“No. I came from Dedham.”
“What’s your address?”
I told him.
“We had someone matching your description just try to break into a woman’s house.”
A second police officer stood next to me; white, tall, bearded. Two police cruisers passed and would continue to circle the block for the 35 minutes I was standing across the street from the burrito place.
“You fit the description,” the officer said. “Black male, knit hat, puffy coat. Do you have identification.”
“It’s in my wallet. May I reach into my pocket and get my wallet?”
“Yeah.”
I handed him my license. I told him it did not have my current address. He walked over to a police car. The other cop, taller, wearing sunglasses, told me that I fit the description of someone who broke into a woman’s house. Right down to the knit cap.
Barbara Sullivan made a knit cap for me. She knitted it in pinks and browns and blues and oranges and lime green. No one has a hat like this. It doesn’t fit any description that anyone would have. I looked at the second cop. I clasped my hands in front of me to stop them from shaking.
No complaints here on Nyle DiMarco becoming the final “America’s Next Top Model.”
Kyle really captured the TV audience’s heart by sharing his. Not only is he the first deaf ANTM, but he revealed himself along the way as being “sexually fluid.”
Tyra Banks posted the pic above on her Twitter saying “U R The Last America’s Next Top Model! I can’t wait 2 C the legacy U build Make me PROUD!”
Rock on.
A special holiday musical presentation from Union Station in Washington, DC celebrating the service and sacrifices of our nation’s World War II veterans and commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of the war.
Featuring The USAF Band, Washington DC, an extraordinary dance troup from NYC (including my friend and Broadway veteran Brad Anderson), and a cameo appearance by Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James.
In this week’s address, the President offered his condolences to the families and community of the victims of the San Bernardino shooting.
Obama correctly notes that this latest mass shooting was “another tragic reminder that here in America it’s way too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun.”
“Right now, people on the No-Fly list can walk into a store and buy a gun. That is insane. If you’re too dangerous to board a plane, you’re too dangerous, by definition, to buy a gun.”
With the release of his new Pepsi commercial, Empire star Jussie Smollett becomes the first black openly gay man to star in a major soda campaign.
From Advocate:
In a meta twist, the filming of the commercial, which was directed by Lee Daniels, occurred as a plot point of Empire’s season 2. The song used in the ad, “Ready to Go,” was created by Smollet’s character’s parents, Cookie and Lucious Lyon, in the Fox show, but produced by Swizz Beatz in real life.
The commercial debuted in both worlds during Empire’s mid-season finale this week. The show will resume in March.
Smollett came out publicly on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this year.
Big up to Pepsi for not worrying about the haters who might have an issue with this. I know I sure don’t 🙂
