You might know openly-gay comedian Mario Cantone either from his stand-up act or as one of the gay friends on Sex and the City. Well he could be about to enter another savage estrogen jungle as the first male guest host of The View now that Meredith Vieira has taken Katie Couric's spot on the Today show.

We think Star and Mario should settle things a la Project Runway: with a walk-off!

Meanwhile, if you can’t make the dinner, you might bookmark the ESPA website. A good resource for keeping abreast of advances and setbacks in gay rights, the site also allows you to volunteer for the organization. You can, furthermore, contact them through the site to arrange for a speaker to appear at an event you might be planning. Queerty joins you in wondering why they’re called rights if the right doesn’t want you to have them.
