Friday Watercooler: Lady Gaga’s privates; Dan Choi’s arrest

, blogger, 365gay.com

DADT Soldiers. Lt. Dan Choi and Jim Pietrangelo were arrested yesterday after handcuffing themselves to the White House gates to protest the DADT.

Following a rally to repeal DADT held by the Human Rights Campaign Lt. Choi and Pietrangelo marched with about 100 protesters to the White House. Choi charged the Obama administration with not doing enough.

“You’ve been told that the White House has a plan. But we learned this week that the president is still not fully committed. … Following this rally, I will be leading [the protest] to the White House to say ‘enough talk.’ … I am still standing, I am still fighting, I am still speaking out, and I am still gay,” he said.

Choi is still in jail, reportedly without a phone call or representation. Queerty has the hits and misses of yesterday’s protest. March on!

Fight Back New York Smackdown. Fight Back New York, the new political action committee pledging to target anti marriage equality foes in the New York State Senate, won its first victory Tuesday.

In a special election Hiram Monserrate was soundly defeated in his attempt to win back the seat he was removed from in February. Monserrate was convicted of the assault of his female companion prompting the NY State Senate to expel the senator in a first for the state since the 1920s.

The Democratic winner, Jose R. Peralta was supported by unions, womens groups and my new favorite gay activist organization, Fight Back New York. The race was heated and oftentimes focused on marriage equality.

Monserrate pandered to anti-gay sentiments when his campaign distributed fliers siting Peralta’s support from “a group of mega rich gay fanatics dedicated to destroying our way of life and creating same sex marriage.”

I am sure that dragging your female companion through a hallway that was caught by a security camera had nothing to do with it. One down, seven to go. Keep the fight up, New York!

The Boy talks about the Lady. Boy George talked with the Mirror in the U.K. about none other than Lady Gaga.

In the interview he talks about the Telephone video, the circus that surrounds Gaga, her live appearances and Miss Gaga’s request for him to sign her vagina.

WHAT???

Check out the video where the talk of the Lady’s private parts starts at  1:57. But my favorite quote is the Boy’s reaction to the Telephone video. After watching it he tweeted “Prison’s not exactly like this.”

Now, I wonder how he knows?

I kissed a boy and I liked it. Wednesday night on Ugly Betty, Justin received his first gay kiss.

I must say high school sure has changed since I was there. And come to think of it, so has television. I wonder what the right wing must be saying.

Perez Hilton has the clip. I think it’s so sweet and awkward. Just the way I remember high school, ha.

I hope many little gay theater boys are emboldened to kiss their crushes. Whoever said theater would get you nowhere?

How do you spell oops? I am a huge fan of tattoos. I have many, myself.

I ran across this link from our friends at World of Wonder. There is nothing better than thinking you have the coolest tattoo and then finding out that the words you permanently wanted to present to the world are misspelled.

I have one word of advice before you get inked with words…PROOFREAD!

    • I’m very pleased to see the “Ugly Betty” add-on! I agree, there has been an enormous change in our society when a major network can depict a child’s first gay kiss during prime time. Granted, this is a show that is winding down, and we have yet to see the resolution of the crisis, however, we are still on the right path. Good job, TV execs.
