ON OUR GAYDAR — News, notes, clicks, and quips from around the web.
• A Tampa Bay church removes Pepsi machines from the premises, because the soda maker supports the gays. But the Bell Shoals Baptist Church isn’t too concerned with parishoners’ health; the machines were replaced with equally sugary Coca-Cola machines.
• The D.C. Metro has construction-related closures on the same weekend as the National Equality March. Meanwhile, you can upload your audition tape for a chance to take the podium at march. Just don’t go on and on for more than three minutes, please.
• After 37 years pouring drinks for Montreal’s gays, the city’s oldest gay bar Le Mystique will close.
• Gay (cute) brothers Dan and Sam, who recently came out to each other, will compete together in The Amazing Race.
• Ten Maryland nuns leave Episcopal Church because it’s too liberal with the gays. Instead, they’re joining the Catholic Church, and leave behind (but will still live with) two nuns from their convent.
• As expected, God was present over the weekend for the 39th annual Southern Decadence festival in New Orleans.
• Here are 11 hot man-on-man comic superhero relationships.

I read about the superhero thing, nothing really gay about those characters. Just bromance and the hints. There are though, plenty of gay characters. OF course, now that Marvel is owned by Disney, I just wonder how long it is ’til those characters are killed off.

Diet Pepsi Cola hits my spot Because homophobic I am not So these christies drink Coca-Cola instead But how many mistresses are in their bed?

A correction here.. Coca-cola is not “equally sugary” as neither of them use sugar anymore but instead use nasty and bad for you high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener.

wonder if they’re going to boycott all the other products owned by PepsiCo? Giving up their gatorade, fritos, etc.? Hypocrites – they’re soooo funny!
