Madonna Means Money
Maybe I’m just too wrapped up into Madonna’s life, but if it wasn’t for my adolescent addiction to her I don’t think most people would have never known I was gay… or maybe they would?
I’m personally happy she and Guy Ritchie have agreed on their divorce settlement. After 8 years of marriage, Ritchie [...]
Internet Over Sex? Really?!?
It’s official, many of us would rather log on, than get turned on. Really? Who would have thought?
A new Harris Interactive survey, commissioned by Intel, found almost half of the women surveyed would be willing to go without sex for two weeks, rather than give up their Internet access. As for the [...]
Does My Weight = HIV/AIDS?
Why is weight such an important number? The topic of weight has followed me around all my life. Whether it was when I was a little boy who had about seven belly rolls of fat when I sat down, or now as a 32 year-old man who is trying his hardest for a [...]

Matt Palazzolo, 23, a self-described “video artist-actor turned gay activist,” founded, Equal Roots [...]
Wear Your Colors Strong!
A couple weeks ago while recording “The Weekend Rewind,” my partner in crime - Marta - used a saying which struck me. She said, “Wear your colors strong.” This is something we must do now, similar to what our brothers and sisters have done in the past… similar to Stonewall.

And the Band Plays On, Inauguration Day!
It’s music to our ears… for the first time in American history, a gay and lesbian band is marching in a presidential inauguration.
Obama’s Inaugural Committee has chosen the Lesbian and Gay Band Association to march in Washington on Jan. 20.
“It means the Obama transition team views lesbian and gay men as part of America,” said [...]
Day Without a Gay
I don’t know about you, but I’m sometimes viewed as the “office gay.” It’s funny, sometimes co-workers (even the ones who think they’re down with the gays) say some of the funniest things.
A couple years ago, during the height of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” one of the show’s stars, Jay Rodriguez, was [...]
Playing THE GAY CARD
Playing THE GAY CARD… not something I often do, and it’s not something I often condone. In fact, I get frustrated with other gay men or women when they try to elicit pity because of their sexual orientation. But, I have to be honest it wasn’t too long ago that I played THE [...]
