Gays advocate safety!

I think I'm on a slight pride kick. Know why? I mean, if there was ever a time to be gayer than you ever were before...or to really push those little gay limits, pride is the time. While San Francisco's pride is one of the more well-known gay celebrations in the country, other cities like to boast their sassy gay/gay-friendly populations too. Maybe because it's just across the Bay from SF, or maybe because it's just so damn hyphy...but, for some reason Oakland Pride '10 was really poppin' this year.

In the above picture submission we see some safety-patrol man gays. Sigh. I love a good safety-conscious gay. Especially those with sassy shorts.

And just like today's submitter says, "Nothing says safety like a pair of hot pants. No, but for real folks. Safety is key for queers and non-queers alike. Safe sex, safe spaces, safety to be yourself. Bring on the openess. Bring on the visibility. And for god's sake bring on the hot pants!"

Uh. I should hire this lady to

Gays kissing gays

If you are not American and you are not gay, then you probably know San Francisco. If you are American and you are gay/gay-friendly, then you definitely know San Francisco. Now I'm not talkin' I wanna-go-walk-up-and-take-pictures-of-the-wiggly-part-of-Lombard-Street" San Francisco--no, no I'm talkin' I-wanna-go-walk-through-the-Castro-and-then-sit-in-Dolores-Park-and-scope-the-queer-honeys" San Francisco.

At the end of June, every year, San Francisco becomes the place to be if "you're here and you're queer." Any one who watches gays knows that San Francisco Pride is like the gay watching Olympics. (In which I have a gold medal--thank you.)

The above is a delicious picture of three lovely lady gays at SF Pride doin' their thing. Now here's my question: If you're a lady gay, which lady would you like a smooch from?

Gays on a train

Recently I was out and about in New York City on a Friday night, and of course I didn't start heading home until around 4:30am. It's always so interesting being on the train at odd hours in the morning because you never know just who you'll run into. Of course, on the dear 1 train, who happened to be riding in the same subway car as me but some man gays--heading home after a night of dancing!

Dear Romero, You were so kind to give me some suggestions as to lady gay bars and clubs on the West Side that I should visit . All the while, letting your "sister" take a little nap in your lap and sipping your refreshing drink from McDonald's.

So friendly. So kind. And ohhh sooo gay.
