SF Sex Workers Push for Decriminalization and the Return of “Real Hos” to Streets

HN-SexWorkerPieceTH.jpg

Maxine Doogan’s been working the streets as a sex worker for nineteen years, but this summer the ambitious and beautiful blonde is finding soliciting harder than ever-she’s pounding the pavement to get prostitution decriminalized in San Francisco through a local ballot initiative. Doogan needs over 7100 signatures in order for the initiative, which would prohibit police from prosecuting prostitution as a crime, to get on the ballot in November.

Kylie Kicks Off X Tour, Parisian Gays (and Dean Monroe) Nearly Shit Themselves

GC-KylieTourTH.jpg

Australian gay icon and dance/pop diva Kylie Minogue may never be Madonna for American gays (outside of Texas), but she’s giving Madge a run for her money in Europe these days. Last week she kicked off her X 2008 Tour in Paris and Antwerp.  Falcon star and Londoner Dean Monroe couldn’t wait for her to hit England in July (when she’ll be doing, um, 6 shows in Manchester, 5 shows in Newcastle, and 7 shows in London) so he popped over for the kickoff in Paris and took a few pictures, a couple of which are after the jump-along with some decent quality bootleg footage c/o YouTubers in Antwerp and Paris. 

It’s Been a Bad Month for Steam Queens: Crackdowns on Sauna Sex in NYC, Utah, and Israel

HN-SteamrooomTH.jpg

The NYC Health Department has been surveying bars, sex clubs and bathhouses since 2005 in an ongoing effort to enforce laws against oral, anal, or vaginal sex that occurs in places of business, and so far they have noted numerous violations but only shut down two sex clubs, El Mirage and Studio and sent warnings to multiple other bars and bathhouses. GMHC and other gay orgs support the city’s efforts, and believe they can work with Health Dept. officials in future to revise the code with a more anti-unsafe-sex, and less anti-sex language.

Meanwhile, over in Mormon Country, we hear tell of a case in which a gym has battled with city inspectors for years over charges of lewd conduct in its steam room, and was forced to shut down in 2006 after undercover police found  a single incident of oral sex in violation of a previous court order.

Times Mag Profiles Soon-to-Be Young Gay Divorces

GC-NYTGayNewleywedsTH.jpg An article in the Times Magazine about young gay marrieds in Boston may feature only two young divorcés, but given the saccharine and heteronormative couplings, we’re giving most of them two years, tops. Is it the 50s style photos that irk us so much? The revamped cardigans and bow-ties? No, it’s the idea that the gay community’s top aspiration these days seems to be a half-century social regression. Have fun with the low-carb Stroganoff, boys–here’s hoping the sexual revolution comes quickly.

Reality TV Continues To Poach Guys From the Porn Industry To Fulfill Their Gay Quota


MM-mikedanceTH.jpg

Following in the footsteps of such role models as Big Brother‘s Crazy James, Parental Control‘s Caleb Carter, and American Idol‘s gay stripper David Hernandez, it appears that Bravo TV’s Step It Up And Dance contestant Michael has a XXX secret buried beneath those tear-away pants as well-and it only took about a week to float to the blog surface! Mike, described in his bio as a “raw, beautiful and passionate performer who is in love with dance”, and whose resume boasts

A 7-Day Pre-White Party Planner

GC-WhitePartyFiremenTH.jpg You’re a fortysomething dermatologist living in La Jolla and your much younger boy toy recently dumped you for a porn star. You just got your teeth bonded and your pec implants lifted, and you’re in no mood to spend next weekend alone with your Shih-Tzu, Lucy Liu. Your bois are heading to Palm Springs and you’ve got a hot, very tan body to show off! Just for you, The Sword has created this seven-day planner so that you can make sure you don’t forget anything before heading to Jeffrey Sanker‘s White Party ’08.

In War Of Fierceness, The Homosexuals We Asked Preferred Kylie Over Madonna


CS-divath.jpg

Every hundred years (of Madonna’s lifetime), the planets align, the earth reaches a precise distance from a black hole of total vapidity, and the biggest divas of a generation-Mariah, Kylie, Janet and Madonna-all release albums at the same time. While numbers say one thing, we couldn’t help wondering where each oft-impersonated female entertainer stands in the heart of those who matter: the gays. We served the following question to our polling panel of around two dozen bitchy homosexuals: Who’s THE FIERCEST of them all? The results, in all of their critical vainglory, after the jump.

The White Party

Palm Springs

April 18-21, All Day

Depending on your system of values, if you’ve never been to The White Party in Palm Springs you’re either missing the time of your life or a chance to walk right up to the precipice overlooking Hades and catch a glimpse before running in the other direction, terrified. An army of gays descends on the desert to frolic in white swim trunks and dance to diva trance over this gay holiday weekend. You’ll either go home with one of the hottest go-go boys in SoCal, or you’ll end up shoeless and sauced on GHB, hitchhiking 12 hours later with a sunburn and a planet of regret on your dislocated shoulders. GAYS GONE WILD! www.jeffreysanker.com

Sacha Baron Cohen “Terrorizes” Kansas Airport By Dancing Around In Hot Pants


CS-brunoTH.jpg

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is filming the sequel to his wildly successful theatrical hit Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, based this time around his flamboyant gay Austrian personality, Bruno (pictured). Flouncing around Kansas with his trademark mohawk and eyebrow piercings, Cohen quickly ascended the criminal ranks when he induced panic by acting gay in public. Cohen “sparked outrage in Kansas,” KEYE-TV reports, “by stripping down to a pair of hotpants and terrorizing locals.”

Security in Wichita Airport was placed on “red alert” after Cohen caused a scene “stripping down to tight shorts and dancing in the lobby.” If that doesn’t sound like a crusade to destroy American lives, then we don’t know what is. We have to admit that Bruno has always been our favorite character on Ali G’s program (call us biased!), especially when he gets straight guys to flex and show their body parts unwittingly before revealing to them that they are on Austrian Gay TV, sparking rage and hostility. In the clip after the jump, watch as he “terrorizes” innocent American spring breakers! We have a feeling we have a Best Picture headed our way.

While You Were Filling Out a Schedule C, RJ Danvers Was Getting Rug Burns

IN-porn-weekendTH.JPG

Porn stars know we live vicariously through them, so while you were busy antiquing and stocking up on toilet paper at Sam’s Club, they spent St. Patrick’s Day weekend sacrificing their sterling reputations by engaging in semi-anonymous couplings, ingesting illicit compounds and dancing all night. But you needn’t pore over their blogs-their so-called lives are all meticulously detailed in our Monday Hangover Report.

American Booty, Too: Can You Match the Porn With Its Hollywood Inspiration?

IN-AmericanBootyTH.jpg Porn directors are sentimental fags like us, so it should come as no surprise that many of your favorite porn scripts are secretly based on classic movies-Chi Chi’s latest, Unknown is based on Ghost, and Steve Cruz’s Hotter Than Hell drew its inspiration from The Devil and Daniel Webster. Or maybe it was Bedazzled. But for every totally obvious porn parody (Oliver Twink, American Booty, Raiders of the Lost Arse) there’s a host of movies that you might never have realized drew their inspiration from mainstream. (Damn the distractions of the flesh.) See if you can match the the porn movies after the jump with the Hollywood screenplays that inspired them.

Blogs Breathlessly Await Anderson Cooper’s Outing, Mine Web for Anecdotes in the Meantime


CS-andersoncoopTH.jpg

Sure, we’re as smitten with CNN‘s Anderson Cooper as the next faggot-okay, maybe not totally as smitten-but we’ve never understood what the big deal is about celebrities coming out of the closet, especially if they don’t pretend to be straight in the first place like certain Will Smiths we know. Sites like Gawker and Queerty, however, have become so rabid in their anticipation of a grand gesture from Anderson that they’ve taken to reporting every detail they can find about him, however insignificant, and painstakingly analyzing how it relates to his sex life. Sometimes puzzling and often hilarious, we’ve sifted through the heap of Anderson- Cooper-isms that point to his gayness and present our favorites now.

Men’s Synchronized Swimming (SNL, 1987)
