INTEGRATION rumor
Hello all! I hope everyone is gathering around a TV to watch the Super Bowl! Even if you don’t like football, the commercials are always way cool and worth a couple of hours of fun all by themselves. I just wanted to take the time to let everyone know that despite what you might be hearing…INTEGRATION at Starline on Wednesday nights is NOT, I repeat NOT, going anywhere. It has been brought to my attention that there are some bitter, lying queens out there trying to spread the rumor that INTEGRATION has been cancelled. This is not true. We are making some changes, and we’ll be trying out some different DJ’s for the night for the next week or two, but INTEGRATION is going no where. Starline is going no where. You’re $3 vodka/crans are going NO WHERE! Lol. So if you hear from any that INTEGRATION has been cancelled, they’re wrong, and you can tell them you heard it from the Chief Queer. 
Now go drink and watch the Super Bowl! Go Colts. Lol.
Wingnuts getting Wingnuttier?
Peter Sprigg, a spokesman for the Family Research Council ranks pretty high on the batshit crazy scale. He’s said that gay people shouldn’t be allowed near children and that we should just deport all the homos because they’re “destructive to society”. So of course what’s left to do but up the ante on the homophobia scale?
Mr. Sprigg not only repeated the same old tired arguments (they’ll ruin unit cohesion, homosexual conduct violates the uniform code of military justice etc.) but also decided to say he believed that sodomy laws should be reinstated and that gays shouldn’t even be allowed in the military AT ALL.

In case you haven’t heard yet, Apple is trying to remake how we experience the world yet again. This time through their new iPad. It’s essentially a larger version of the iPod touch that’s currently being pushed as Apple’s version of an e-reader/netbook.
It also has, um, other uses…

The Man Who Won’t Be Governor.
There’s an interview with Gavin Newsom in the New York Times today. The Mayor of San Francisco, and now defunct Gubernatorial candidate, seems a little bummed that things didn’t work out in his favor. However, the upside of being a lame duck politician is you get to say pretty much whatever you want, like this snippet about Obama’s record on LGBT issues:
I asked whether President Obama, who said at a Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration that the civil rights movement was partly about “changing people’s hearts and minds and breaking out of old customs and old habits,” had disappointed him given that the president is a triumph of civil rights himself.
“Oh, I can’t get in trouble here,” Newsom said with a playful wince. “I want him to succeed. But I am very upset by what he’s not done in terms of rights of gays and lesbians. I understand it tactically in a campaign, but at this point I don’t know. There is some belief that he actually doesn’t believe in same-sex marriage. But it’s fundamentally inexcusable for a member of the Democratic Party to stand on the principle that separate is now equal, but only on the basis of sexual orientation. We’ve always fought for the rights of minorities and against the whims of majorities.”
