• 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!
