    In reply to Lady Gaga Penis Conspiracy Finally Debunked by Inevitably Insane Rachel Sklar?
    I wish mainstream gay guys would become a little more sensitive to trans/intersex issues, but I also wish the U.S. would create a Western European-style social safety net and that my fingers suddenly transformed into delicious, regenerative mini-calzones, but none of it is ever going to happen, so whatevs. Party on.

    This post is perfect, except for one thing: Your future verb tense in claiming that Rachel Sklar "is starting to go insane."

    For those of us who adore her, we all know she went insane in the horror that was 2005. Or earlier.

    Nobody on a gay run website finds this "ha ha ha, she has a dick!" stuff and the "ha ha ha, she looks like a man!" thing it derived from offensive to intersex people and not exactly compatible with LGBT friendliness?

    In reply to Time Inc's Pre-Thanksgiving Layoffs
    At least one print outlet is being "resurrected." From TPM - "Staff of the Southern Voice, a gay weekly in Atlanta and one of the handful of publications shut down abruptly by parent company Window Media last week, have received a $12,000 matching grant to start a new publication. "

    Anyway, thought some good news would be in order...

    In reply to Anderson Cooper's Boyfriend: The Shirtless Edition
    I don't understand some gay men. Some are gifted like this one, a CUNY scholar with a 4.0 GPA, yet he got stuck in the chelsea gay stereotype of being a steroid queen and posing almost naked in gay magazines and owning a gay bar! I mean c'mon, if you are gifted with intelligence and talent, why not go out and change the world? I guess the superficial life of gay glitz, glamour and circuit parties is just too enticing for some. #benjaminmaisani

    @Don Servillas: How many people are really changing the world at their job? There are lots of high flying lucrative careers that have lots of superficiality and don't make the world a better place.

    He's his own boss, he's not stuck in cubicle-land, he works with friends, and he's around cute gay guys. He and his partners maintain nice bodies they sometimes use in ways to help promote their small business. Maybe he put fun over ambition, but I'm not seeing how his life path is so horrible. #benjaminmaisani

    Hear, hear! to MessiahsHandle. As a fan of the Coop, I've been surprised at the choice of mates he's been associated with. Sounds totally snotty, but welcome to the real world. An Ivy Leaguer and so-called world respected journalist traipsing about with cookie cutter wine salesmen (Julio) and bartenders (Ben)? Is there such a shortage of gay men who can match him point for point in terms of refinement and education? Lucky boys these guys who get to marry WAY above their stations, and only because of the way they look. I supposed Andy is truly gay after all. Typical shallow looksist elitist queen.

    @jok695: AC has actually gone up a few notches in my book for this kinda thing. Hell, he's human. I think I'd be more apt to call him shallow/lookist/elitist if I had to open up the styles of the times and see his wedding photos to some other huge media freak such as the trump/kushner nuptials from a week ago. Slum on silver fox! #benjaminmaisani

    @jok695: Dating someone you're attracted to doesn't make you shallow. But I wonder how the Coop and Maisani can have a normal relationship when Maisani is tending bar into the wee hours of the night each night including weekends. They must be on totally different schedules. #benjaminmaisani

    @jok695: You actually sound like the elitist one. "Above their stations"? Are we in the 1800s?

    Cooper is a well travelled guy who comes across as very down to earth for a wealthy famous Vanderbilt. What's the big deal what if he's attracted to immigrants working common jobs instead of American Ivy League captains of industry?

    Lookism? Julio and Ben look like cute and fit guys in their 30s but I doubt either one of them has been fighting off modelling contracts. #benjaminmaisani

    In reply to Anderson Cooper's Boyfriend: The Shirtless Edition
    When I heard that the Coop was dating this guy it was as if something inside had died... forgive the melodrama, but I believe in this case it's warranted. You imagine that a smart, successful journalist would chose someone who was worthy of...at the very least, my intellectual fantasy. An equally smart and successful gay, quiet, maybe bookish, or perhaps a designer or artist - not tortured, but focused and independent. Someone who's able to stand on his own whilst Anderson is braving hurricanes on the gulf coast or dodging bullets in Waziristan...but alas Coop you consistently choose the stereotypical gays. Hunky boricuas, twinky latinos, and now a muscly beefcake beau hunk who straddles the line between Sean Cody and Honcho... more often shirtless than shirted..AND owner of a gay bar? Really, Andy? He can't even publicly declare he's gay, but chooses time and time again to shop at the Duplex? It's all so terribly cliché. Well enough is enough, my celebrity crush is officially over...That's "Se acabo" to you, Anderson. Ok Maisani was the valedictorian at CUNY, but I think the naked arm wrestling, the fondling of drag queens, the perpetual shirtlessness has nullified what little respect I may have had for the man. This guy had better be a fucking closeted Proust scholar before I regain any respect for the Coop. But somehow I fear that it's just too late, baby.

    @MessiahsHandle: Pretty much all the male celebrity gays choose partners substantially less successful than themselves, no? The closest thing to a power couple I can think of is Siegried and Roy, and I don't even know if they're actually a couple.

    Dating someone opposite to you in some ways can be good. Two repressed quiet whitebread WASPs would be one really repressed quiet whitebread household. And would a bookish designer be up for things like shark diving and the Real Housewives of Atlanta? #benjaminmaisani
