• “After nearly a year of debate, the Oklahoma City-County library system has voted to create a new section in the children's library to shelve books dealing with homosexuality and other ‘sensitive issues.’ Those issues are pedophilia, child abuse, substance abuse, premarital sex and extramarital sex."

• We're not very surprised to hear that our mothers are the ones responsible for making us queer. We knew there was a reason why she was our very first fag hag. [Forbes]

• After you watch tonight's Project Runway reunion episode (reunion?! We haven't even been handed the finale yet!), stick around for the debut of Project Jay, which might be a tad more interesting than your local news. Keep in mind we said "a tad." [Bravo TV]

We won’t be watching Project Jay. It should be a clue to us that a series originally slated to be 8 shows long, has been cut down to a one hour special. What’s the matter Jay, not enough personality to fill a whole series?

Jay was the saving grace of the first Project Runway and we were delighted he won. It is his nastiness since winning that has us calling his bullshit. At first we loved his anti-fashion stance, but now it’s just gotten ugly. He seems bitter and confused and no longer fun. We know you did not take the money and that you think Hedi Klum is a twat and that you hate more successful designers like Zac Posen. Say something new, Mr. McCarroll. Your shtick is getting tired.

This interview with Jay in the new issue of Time Out is exactly what we mean. There is a difference between subtle reads and just plain hate. His persona may be as big as his bloated belly, but we’re still not buying his ego. It’s ugly unlike his clothes.

Bradford Shellhammer phones in a Project Runway recap:

Ok so Rich, Will Wikle, and I ventured to Bryant Park this morning for the Project Runway final show. Seen: the Heatherette Boys, Kara Saun, Jay McCarroll, Austin Scarlett, Debra Messing, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, Anne Hathaway, way too many Queer Eyes, and Heidi Klum.

Like last season the top four designers showed their collections, though one of three has already been eliminated. Below is my recap of the final show.

Daniel Vosovic: Daniel V. is clearly the favorite to win and the reaction from the crowd was insane: They went B-A-N-A-N-A-S. What for, I don’t know. On the show his work has been strong and the most consistent of the group. But the mop-headed hipster let me down big time. His clothes were boring. The colors were safe. The fit was horrible. Many dresses puckered and wrinkled and his beautiful finale dress fit so badly that you could slide your hands in the gapes on the models back.

Kara Janx: Kara was the day’s biggest surprise. Who would have known she had a personality! Seriously, she was spunky and almost rock-and-roll. Her collection was the most wearable and colorful of the bunch. The color-blocked dresses fit perfectly. The colors recalled Jay McCarroll’s winning collection from last year, but much more sensual and refined. If she makes the top three, she is clearly the one to beat.

Chloe Dao: Poor Chloe. I was expecting this to be a fight between Daniel V and Miss Chloe, but sadly her collection was the worst. Gone were the cute, feminine blue dresses and what she showed was way too fussy and at times offensive. There was a lot of visible boob and I am not talking about the sexy, D&G sort of way. It was like night of the living prom dresses with exposed nipples made from bad curtain fabric. Not a chance to win.

Santino Rice: Many think Santino is the next eliminated and his speech before the show kind of alluded to that theory: he spoke about PR in the past tense. But if he is indeed still in the running I think he impressed everyone in the room. He did not “Santino” anything! The colors were muted, the fabrics flowing, and his over stylized design sensibility was checked at the door. What were left were sleek, elegant dresses that were everything Santino is not: understated and pristine. It could be his.

It is either Kara or Santino. And if I’m wrong, then blame Nina Garcia.

Yesterday’s So Gay! list was all about the big screen. Today we look at the small screen and why the year in television was So Gay!

5. Boston Legal. Boston Legal may just be the funniest show on TV. It is well written, smart, and has an all-star, hilarious ensemble cast. It is the relationship between two straight men that makes the show so gay. William Shatner and James Spader share the same bed, bicker, and even dressed as matching pink flamingos for Halloween. It is the perfect gay relationship, except they don’t have sex.

4. Commander In Chief. A woman moves into the Oval Office and kicks ass in Washington. The Gays were down from the beginning, especially since we’ve long loved Geena Davis. However it was the plotline about Special Assistant to the President Vince Taylor (Anthony Azizi) that really made us fans. In one episode it was revealed he was HIV+ and gay. The storyline was handled with respect and we only wish Mack was in Bush’s place.

3. Project Runway. There are so many gays on the new Project Runway that we cannot keep count. These ladies would, at times, make both Jay McCarroll and Austin Scarlett look butch. Queens and dresses and Michael Kors oh my! Another hit season is off the ground and running.

2. Desperate Housewives. Though the ladies of Wisteria Lane are hetero, you can’t get campier than Desperate Housewives. A gay subplot involving Bree’s son has us on edge. Jesse Metcalf is still hot, hot, hot. And Marcia Cross is still the best tranny on television. Don’t listen to the critics denouncing season two. These women are still one gay old time.

After the jump, the gayest thing on TV in 2005!

Our favorite sissy fashion bear Jay McCarroll will be back on television soon on an as yet titled reality show for Bravo reports Fashion News Daily.

Supposedly, the show details Jay's move from hillbillyville Pennsylvania to the big apple. The plus-sized designer has already been spotted running throughout the city, camera crew in tow, no doubt making a scene and screaming.

When I interviewed Jay last year for my site his acidic tongue was still in check. Lets hope he loses none of the attitude this time round. This leaves us all excited not only about the new season of Project Runway, but about the possibility of other Runway alums getting their own show. Can you imagine a reality crew chronicling Austin Scarlett's transsexual transformation into a real woman on TV?

We can always dream.
