Mariah Carey in drag for new video
Mariah Carey becomes a drag king as Eminem for her new video! I never thought I would see the day. Look closely and you can tell it is her, even though this drag job was done very, very well.

Hot butch 100 announced amid dispute
SugarButch.net has announced its hot 100 butches, with Rachel Maddow toping out at No. 1 (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.). While the Web site has received flack for its definition of butch, consequently removing some of the people selected, the list isn’t bad. I thought I was impressed with AfterEllen’s roundup, but they weren’t who I really [...]

Driving Equality receives hate mail
The following is a striking poem that the blog of Driving Equality received. (Driving Equality is a summer-long effort to collect the stories of LGBT Americans from around the entire country.) It’s quite disturbing, actually.
“proud and gay they march along
growing in numbers, weak but strong
following the footsteps of another race
creating their own, demanding their place
“prophecy foretold [...]

The butch identity is a confusing one
Reposted from SugarButch.net:
“I know what butch is. Butches are not beginner FTMs, except that sometimes they are, but it’s not a continuum except when it is. Butch is not a trans identity unless the butch in questions says it is, in which case it is, unless the tranny in question says it isn’t, in which [...]

“The Golden Girls” discuss gay marriage
So back in 1991, back before gay marriage was such a hot topic, The Golden Girls were apparently tackling the issue. I know it seems odd, but hey, they knew what they were talking about. One of the characters has a relative that is gay and is trying to get married (not legally, I am [...]

The Gay and Lesbian Foundation, based in the United Kingdom, released its list of the best 100 LGBT blogs in the world yesterday. Who made the cut? Well of course the heavy-hitters like Joe.My.God, Pam’s House Blend, Feministing, AfterEllen, Queers United, GLAADBlog and Autowin to name a few (all of these are on my blog roll), but [...]

Columbus rocks Pride kickoff at Wall St.
Friday, June 19, Wall St. kicked off Pride weekend in Columbus with a drag extravaganza that was not to be missed. The show was themed Pride revival, and took after the stylings of a typical church revival, except with a few twists (Gay people, drag kings and queens – you know, just minor differences).
A church-style [...]
