ON OUR GAYDAR —
• Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno doesn’t just make fun of gays — it “manages to offend homophobes, Bubbas, born agains, celebrity publicists, Darfur activists, Arabs and Israelis, terrorist organizations, Ron Paul and, perhaps most of all, Austrians.”
• Barney Frank doesn’t take risks.
• How come Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano can make big decisions by herself, while President Obama insists he must wait for Congress to act?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
• Naked photos of Dorion Standberry, a “star” of BET reality series College Hill Atlanta, were leaked after someone supposedly hacked into his email account. Then came the rumors that Dorion is a big ‘mo, which he denies … without convincing many.
• New York’s big gay pride parade is this Sunday. This Saturday? It’s National HIV Testing Day.
• Everyone’s calling out a certain celebrity blogger for using the word “faggot” (but calling out others who do the same), but what about his rampant misogyny?
• Gay Father’s Day secrets.
• New York’s support for same-sex marriage hits 51 percent.
• Are Meghan McCain‘s (fantastic!) breasts trying to tell us something?

And he still isn’t funny….

This looks like it will suck compared to Borat

He’s about as funny as Dane Cook, and even more repulsive.

@vdanker:
I don’t know about that…cancer is funnier than Dane Cook.

Am I the only person who is excited to see this movie? I’ve been following his updates on facebook and I think Bruno is hilarious.

Sacha Baron Cohen Offends Gays, But Also Israelis, Terrorists & Publicists! But mostly he just offends good comedy. There’s a limit to how many times you can recycle the same punchline.

@Evan: No Evan, Bruno is going to be hilarious parody. Some people will never be able to take a joke.

Don’t beat up on cancer by comparing it to dane cook! Being compared to dane cook is the worst thing you can say about someone. It’s worse than being canadian, or a self hating queer who don’t get that bruno’s about getting laughs at queers. Cancer’s got a bad enough rap.
It’s good to see that a few other people get made fun a little bit in this fag bash.

I just watched the trailer for Bruno and I just fail to understand what’s funny about it. Did anyone listen to Mike Signorile’s show the other day when he was talking about it? It was bizarre to hear him and hordes of other gay men defend the film while this one straight guy called in and said he felt offended for his gay friends.
TANK
Yeah…women wouldn’t find sacha baron cohen funny, for the most part. In general, I don’t think women appreciate humor or are funny. I mean, look at all of the female comics…they’re all immitating male humor.

are jews terrorists? that is so wrong…

I’m sure Bruno is going to make Borat look like a cheesy, boring straight romantic comedy – and that’s why I’ll be first in line!
