Happy Endings: Cheney And Bush, Sittin’ In a Tree
• With the exception or perhaps the New York Times, every publication here in New York is doing a “gay issue” in honor of gay pride. But so far, it’s only the Village Voice‘s edition that got our attention. [VV]
• In other (rather upsetting) media news, local Pennsylvania paper The Morning Call banned columnist Frank Whelan after he appeared as grand marshall of a gay pride parade. The paper’s editor claimed Whelan’s stint showed his support of gay marriage — and we thought columnists were free to be subjective. [Express-Times]
• A gay cowboy at a nude beach? Who cares if the Human Rights Campaign wasn’t behind it — they got some great, ahem, exposure. [BlogActive]
• Holla at our kid sister blog MollyGood, which just landed in the pages of Star magazine. Because just like us, Molly measures her self-worth by press mentions. [MollyGood]
• What is pride to you? [NYC LGBT Center]
• MySpace will no longer let anyone over the age of 18 contact a minor — though it has no way of verifying anyone’s age. So 40-year-old daddies looking for 16-year-old twinks need only like about their age, except this time they’ll need to say 17 instead of 30. [AdAge]
The Morning Call is based out of Allentown, PA and the Express Times is based out of Easton, PA both do cover central west New Jersey but they are PA newspapers.
I thought the Morning Call was foolish in the article and they are taking a lot of heat for it from the readers.
It’s a shame to read such actions taken by a newspaper.
I for one am happy to see some much gay pride coverage in the media. This happens only once each year, so we got to make the best of it. Big Gay Pride hugs. Queerty.com, you rock queer 365 days a year. Thanks for being there.
2nd year in a row Time Out NY didn’t do a gay pride issue. Of course this week’s has a big rooster on it — maybe a cock joke? Whatever.
