The tagline: "Because the world gives you enough labels." The name of the campaign: "Lipstick". The ad was created by the Bombay division of McCann Erickson. Strangely compelling image. Is that a dildo? Anybody seen this in American press? I can't imagine even the gay press allowing the word "faggot" to appear in an ad, but in this context, who knows? Yes, that is a dildo and, if you look closely, you can see the words "no homophobia," which seem pretty clear to us. Your thoughts, readers? |

And Hilarious!
Last night one of our astute members sent me the link to a disturbing article written by “Joe” at a blog called Joe.My.God. Joe, as it would seem, enjoys a semi-celebrity status in the homosexual circle for his irreverent and profane take on our Conservative and Christian America. Joe’s blog, a profane left-wing farce read if I ever saw one, left me speechless. It is hard to fathom that even the worst of our society, the sodomites, would consider the vulgar and often blasphemous tone of Joe’s ramblings entertaining. Then again, given that his target audience has turned their back on decency and natural law, and chosen a sinful lifestyle, I really shouldn’t be surprised. So, what did these pious politicos entitled this lovely missive? "Homosexual Blog Joe.My.God. Should Be Deleted and the Author Arrested". Because blogs can be arrested. Congratulations, Sam Brownback, you've got the dumb fuck vote! (PS: Two things. First, Baptists For Brownback also have a list of "Hell Bound" folk. Second, we've got some bad news…) |

Parnter Corri Fetman explains her firm's advertising aesthetic: Law firm advertising is boring…Everything's always the same. It's lawyers in libraries with a suit on and the law books behind them. They don't say anything. What, I should hire you because you have a law degree? C'mon. So we wanted to try something different. They planned on depicting a tank of piranhas picked apart a penis, but they didn't think it had the same oomph as this pair of male and female knockers. 'Life's Short. Get a Divorce.' — Chicago Billboard Turns Heads [ABC via Joe.My.God] |

As we mentioned yesterday, our friend Andy Towle claims to have dated the icon formerly known as Rod Majors. Sanchez, however, insists he's straight as an arrow: JMG: Do you consider yourself gay? Hmm, either Towle's confused (which we doubt) or Sanchez is a total phony. Oh, wait, we knew that already. Of course, there's always the possibility that Sanchez didn't consider poor Towle a "boyfriend", but just a fuck buddy. Sorry, Towle, but something tells us you'll survive. Sanchez may not be a cocksucker (except when he's getting paid…and filmed), but he does support Ann Coulter's recent faggot flinging: I personally wouldn't have used the word faggot in public like that. That said, Ann made a joke and that's just what she does. I wouldn't want her right to speak breached in any way. The complaints from all these pissed off people is hilarious. I know Ann gets a kick out of being a provocateur, and these hissyfits will probably figure in her next article. That is if there is a next article… Oh - and, yes, Sanchez has a book in the works. No, he doesn't want to talk about it. Related: Conservative Hero Totally Gay For Pay |

With that illusion shattered, Joe's offered another suggestion: Texas-based actor Joey Oglesby, a man whose stellar credits include, Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical. Oglesby, however, insists he's not Davies. Sure, they may look almost identical, but, as we said in the Radar-related piece, all white, doughy, moustached men look alike. Also, it seems to us that if Oglesby were Davies, wouldn't he take credit for the media frenzy? Regardless, at least these talents got a little press. Now, maybe they can go back to living in obscurity. That is, unless, one of them claims to be the real Donnie Davies, in which case they'll undoubtedly become American icons. Icons of what, you ask? Well, of bullshit, of course. And, really, isn't that what acting's all about? |

Yesterday we suggested Donnie may be improv performer Todd Quillen, a hypothesis first offered at Joe. My. God. The kids over at Good as You, meanwhile, wondered if DD's actually the alter ego of a man named Colby Starck: the drummer in a music group called The Glass Gypsies - an aural-minded assembly listed as one of Love Gods Way's banned bands. Stark's suspiciously white, pudgy face made him a notable suspect, leading a number of other blogs to speculate that he is, in fact, Donnie Davies. Apparently, however, they're all wrong. Radar sleuth Jeff Bercovici contacted Stark, who insists he is not, in fact, Donnie Davies. Bercovici reports: S tarck tells Radar he's not the hoaxer. "While I'm getting a kick out of the hoopla, I'm not Donnie Davies," he says. In fact, he adds, the photos in which he looks like Davies are several years old; Starck has since lost weight and shaved his mustache. "I'm not as fat as he is, but it's really the love that I have in my heart for homosexuals that distinguishes us," he says. Thus, the mystery continues… (Note: while we're not entirely convinced Donnie Davies actually exists, we aren't ruling out the possibility that our sexually repressive and deeply religious culture could, in fact, spawn a ridiculous caricature such as the DD. Seriously, everything else about our day and age seems absurd - hello, Ted Haggard - so why couldn't this be real, too?) |

Not all The Gays are excited to see Brokeback Mountain just so you know. For every Towleroad we encounter there is a Joe.My.God just as vocal. Joe’s essay on Brokeback Mountain hits a lot of sore spots with the Queerty crew, but ultimately we disagree with him. In a perfect world we’d like to see more gay actors playing gay parts. But sadly there are not many gay actors we can think of to choose from. And Tom Cruise is just way too old for this film. Actors do just that, act. We would not want gay actors to be limited to play only gay roles. So why would we want to limit straight actors to only play straight. That is not acting. It’s called playing yourself, which is easy. For an example of this see Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan. We wish more actors had the balls to come out of the closet. But we are also stoked that a gay love story was finally handled with care and respect. There are moments when the tides turn, the tipping point, and we believe this film just may be one of those magical times. Jake and Heath may be straight, but their performances are anything but. Love between two men on screen has never been so beautiful, tragic, and real. There was nothing fake about it Joe. Nothing at all. Fakeback Mountain [Joe.My.God] |
