Re: The Luke Gage “brand” story— Brands and tattoos are different things. They did not get brands. They got (tiny) tattoos.

Love the country/western song by Chris Housman. Sent it to some drag performers i know. Next i am sending it to the governors of Florida, Texas and all the other hate filled states.

Hmmm. In the Donna Summer’s documentary I Wonder if they’ll talk about how she wrecked her career when she said AIDS was a curse from god to punish gay men for their sins. Doubtful. I lived threw those years and lost to many friends too soon in life. To this day I don’t know how I survived.

That’s a myth. She didn’t say it. It was a lie told by an unscrupulous “reporter.”

When asked about that comment, she has consistently denied saying it, and even gotten upset when reporters press her. But given that she became born-again, it seems likely she did. And then tried to backtrack because it would alienate her biggest fans.
There’s not a hint of it in the trailer for this doc, but will be interesting to see if it comes up.
ShiningSex
boring!!!

I give the Gage marriage 6 months to a year max.
