Gays Get Ready… FAFSA Changes Are Coming!


Y'all want equal rights and it's going to cost you!

The Department of Education has announced starting in 2014 both parents and guardians regardless of gender shall be listed on a student's Federal Application for Federal Student Aid.

“We just think it is more accurate, it is more inclusive, it is more fair,” says Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education.  Gender specific terms "mother" and "father" will be removed from the application and changed to “Parent 1 (father/mother/stepparent).”
“These changes will allow us to calculate aid eligibility based on what a student’s whole family is able to contribute and ensures our limited taxpayer resources are better targeted toward those students and families who have the most need. And, very importantly, these changes allow us to provide an inclusive form that reflects the great diversity of American families,” continues Duncan.
The federal government is working more and more to include the LGBT community in their decisions. Although this may seem like a loss to same sex couples who have racks on racks in the bank - multiple studies show gays make more money and save more than heteros anyway - I'm sure we can all appreciate being recognized by our government. Kudos!

SAY WHAT?! Sharon Needles Blasted Jinkx Monsoon & Roxxxy Andrews!


This girl's opinion is like Keyshia Cole judging American Idol. Hashtag DISQUALIFIED!

In a video posted to Tumblr, current crown holder Sharon Needles bashes Jinkx Monsoon who is slated to take the 'RuPaul's Drag Race' crown the next week. Let Sharon tell it Jinkx has "little room for improvement visually” and is just "a cheap version" of her own drag.


Another shock is Sharon's confusing revelations about another contender Roxxxy Andrews.

“When I look at Roxxxy I see a tangible, marketable, beautiful drag queen,” she said. “She has something we all think is a bad thing nowadays: bitchiness. I think being a bitch is a good thing.”

"I think Phi Phi was a better bitch [though]. Because when Phi Phi was going, she’d be like “You don’t belong here! You have no talent!” All Roxxxy would do was like “Aw bitch please, go home.” She wasn’t that mean!"

Watch the full video right here via Tumblr. The season finale of 'Drag Race' airs Monday, May 6th on LOGO!

Gay Pornstar Venom Talks Life After the Industry in New Documentary [VIDEO]



A minister at age 13? Oh girl! Lil ol' Kevin Mines should have known the church divas wouldn't be too fond of him transforming into Venom before he even started it.

"People were so easy to forget all of the good things I've done - how I've helped people out, how I assumed all of these leadership roles. People quickly forgot all about that, focused on one thing, made me a devil because of it, and turned their backs on me."

In Venom's new documentary 'The Way to Kevin' he talks about his rise to fame and how things have changed.

"When you're in front of the camera you have the fame. When you're behind the camera you have the fortune."

This trailer is pretty interesting. Watch below and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Closeted NBA Player Jason Collins Comes Out: ‘I Want to be Genuine & Truthful’

Sexy, fine Latino trade Orlando Cruz became the first pro boxer still in the league to confess he likes man butt last fall. It was only a matter of time before another player tip toed into the light. "Two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons" brags 34-year old NBA center Jason Collins in his coming out letter to Sports Illustrated. The new free agent who played this season for the Boston Celtics says he's tired of all the speculation about somebody coming out. He's proud to be the first one to do it:
I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand. My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons. I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals.

Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates. Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful. Why am I coming out now? Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I'm a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided.

The first relative I came out to was my aunt Teri, a superior court judge in San Francisco. Her reaction surprised me. "I've known you were gay for years," she said. From that moment on I was comfortable in my own skin. In her presence I ignored my censor button for the first time. She gave me support. The relief I felt was a sweet release. Imagine you're in the oven, baking. Some of us know and accept our sexuality right away and some need more time to cook. I should know -- I baked for 33 years. When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue.
Read the full story here at the Sports Illustrated . Welcome to our team Jason! Let's look at some more pics of him and see who can tell if he's a top or bottom!

Clive Davis Talks Gay Moments, Practically Blames Women for Being Boring

I don’t have anything against men who dabble in strawberry when he sees grape jelly is starting to become routine. But, I love it even more when a man can admit that sometimes fucking the same coochie can be the same way.

Here’s what recording mogul Clive Davis had to say about how he became bisexual:

“I wasn’t bisexual until my second marriage failed. I was a total heterosexual – married twice, four children, and totally attracted to women. Neither of my marriages failed for the reason of sexuality. So, it was really only after my second marriage failed that I opened myself up to the person, not the gender.”

“The subject of bisexuality is not understood well. People feel you’re either you’re gay, you’re straight, or you’re lying and it’s just not true. So if this could shed light more, if this could help move society  a little bit further to the truth, and the reality that there are a number of people that can be and are attracted to both genders and they’re really attracted to the person and not the gender.”

Watch his full interview below:

Traci Braxton Confesses She’s Going Solo!

“You’re going to get a lot of varieties of everything -pop, R&B … I just want to showcase me,” Traci confessed over the weekend to Kempire Radio. If only she would have given a sample of her voice during this interview.
