“Gay” may have once meant “happy,” but there’s nothing jolly about this collection of crazy queers.

Sure, there are some great homos out there – countless, in fact – but some men loving men made their mark with tooth, nail and pure, unadulterated evil.

Thus, without further ado, we present to you some cold bitches, including this lovely gent: former Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Sure, he's only "allegedly" gay, but that doesn't mean he can't be a nasty queen!

An unsung hero of aural innovation, Arthur Russell began making musical waves in the early 1970s. Fresh to New York from Iowa, by way of San Francisco, Russell threw himself into the burgeoning downtown music scene. Collaborating with the likes of Phillip Glass, Allen Ginsberg and David Byrne, Russell collapsed the barriers between classic and dance. His cello and synthesizer made beautiful music. No matter how experimental and heady, however, Russell's sound remains remarkable accessible. It's as fit for the disco queen as for the theorist.

• MTV apparently wouldn't play Faithless' "Bombs" because it's too controversial.

• Gianni Versace's lover, Antonio D'Amico, remembers his fallen lover and the assassination that stole a fashion visionary:

It was not a day, just a moment, like lightening. I heard the shot, and I ran outside the house. I saw Gianni in a pool of blood. It was like somebody cut me in two parts with an ax. Complete darkness — and this pain in my stomach! Can you imagine? The day before we were in the swimming pool hugging, and he said to me: “You know, Tato, after all these years our relationship is still so solid and beautiful.”

• TMZ's way meaner to Rosie O'Donnell than we'd ever imagine. Okay, okay, we'd imagine being so mean, but we'd never make fun of her wet suit. Oh, that's a t-shirt. (Oops.)

• Alvaro Orozco, the gay Nicaraguan refugee Canada wants out, has gone into hiding.

• Tegan and Sara sing about gay marriage and its discontents.

If there’s one adversary gays must not ignore, it’s stagnation: the paralysis of motion and progression. With new queer headlines daily, it may seem that we’re in no threat of slowing down, but visibility and advancement are not necessarily the same thing. That’s one thing gay filmmaker Matt Wolf (seen here in a picture we lifted from his website. If you think he's a cute kid, you should see him now!) knows all too well.

Considering the political undertones of his short films, it comes as no surprise that Wolf once considered a career in politics. Coming out at the tender age of 14, Wolf threw himself into gay activism in his hometown of San Jose, CA, where he joined the burgeoning Gay-Straight Alliance Movement and pushed for anti-discrimination law to further the LGBT cause. It wasn’t until a few years later that he had another sort of coming out. “In high school, I decided that I didn’t want to work in politics. I wanted to be an artist.”

With a scholarship to New York University, Wolf packed up and headed east, where his activist roots and artistic dreams coalesced into something new entirely: the fictional documentary. Merging actual people and fabricated characters, Wolf's movies explore gay issues to shed light on our at times unsettling reality.

Join us after the jump as we examine Wolf’s earlier works and learn that while his media stays the same, his ideas evolve as fast as the world changes.

We hate to say "we told you so," but it wasn't so long ago that we were heralding the return of Miami onto the destination radar. Also stamping approval on the city's current upswing is ABC News' tour of Casa Casuarina, the boutique hotel more infamously known as Gianni Versace's mansion on Ocean Drive.

Those wanting a taste of the glamorous life can pay upwards of $4,000 a night to lounge by the pool that once hosted Versace's naked-boy parties, stocked from the beach across the street. Although one of those party boys was Andrew Cunnanan, the man who shot Versace in the head–right there on the mansion's front steps. So we would suggest you keep your Versace Mansion pool parties to a minimum, they tend to not work out so well.

We love the ABC story not only for the tribute to one of our planet's most influential designers, but also for the investigative report on Casa Casuarina's $50 coffee made from cat shit. No joke. And try not to be shocked when you see Donatella, before her foray into the world of extreme plastic surgery. You'll only recognize her from the blond hair. Get ouuuuut!
