Going to a gay rights protest this weekend? We’ve got you covered. On today’s show we’re sharing our tips on making the most of your local gay rights protest and how to enjoy a fabulous and passionate fight for gay rights!
This may be some people’s first time at a protest so please dress for the weather, in Chicago that means lots of comfy layers and maybe some rain gear.
Avoid eye contact with police. Do what they say and don’t eyeball them. No one likes to be eyeballed, especially cops, so don’t eyeball them. This protest isn’t about eyeballing, it’s about gay rights.
Keep moving and don’t stay in one place on the sidewalk or they might get you for impeding traffic. Plus, if you are on the run, you are harder to get.
Your protest outfit wouldn’t be complete without a protest sign. Follow these simple rules I modified from Uknighted Manganime for the ultimate sign:
1 Make your slogan rhyme because it may just become the chant that everyone rallies around.
2 Use lots of exclamation marks to show that you are serious about your protest!!!!! Bonus- they also fill in all that pesky negative space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 YOU SHOULD WRITE IN ALL IN CAPITALS TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE VERY SERIOUS AND YOU MUST ‘SHOUT’ TO SHOW THAT YOU MEAN BUSINESS!!!
Hilary Clinton is singing “mama he’s making eyes at me.” Yesterday, the Obama administration eyed the President Elect’s former rival for the position of Secretary of State. She may be a great fit but is this just a ruse to get her out of the country?
The trans man Thomas Beatie is knocked up again. Was this a planned pregnancy?
Scientists take you deep inside the brain of a bully. Did you know that bullies actually enjoy seeing people in pain and misery. Duh!
Paula Goodspeed, who was mocked at the American Idol tryouts, committed suicide outside of judge Paula Abdul’s home. Ms. Goodspeed was disappointed about how bloggers treated her after her appearance on American Idol. She apparently died from a drug overdose.
Remember folks, A healthy booty is a happy one!

FAUSTO, you bad boy!! Haha, you know I have a good sense of humor about all that though honey chile! In fact when you mentioned it I fell out of my seat laughing.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, I’m 27yo, officially late 20′s yay! I got to see Ben Lerman and Tom Goss last night at a bar and I kept chanting, “Play me 4 Minutes.” He said alas he couldn’t do it without his Feast of Fools crew so instead I sang harmony with him when he sang, “Can I Smell Yo Dick.” And I just have one thing to say, Tom Goss is even dreamier in person.
Just sent in another contribution for your new hard drive too. I love you boys and will do my best to help you out whenever I can because I appreciate what you do so much.
Just as important as donating to FOF though I want to let all the DC gays know about our No on Proposition 8 Protest:
Saturday, November 15, 1:30pm
Capitol Building by the Reflecting Pool between 1st St. NW and 3rd St. SW
You can contact me at ryan.d.alvarez@gmail.com if you need further details. There is also a signmaking party going on tonight at the DC Center, http://www.thedccenter.org.
“… she’s an undecided voter of mental stability herself…”
That had me spitting out coffee over my computer keyboard at work on Friday. Fausto, your turns of phrase are so cute!
This podcast was hilarious. Mark, I gotta say that some of the things you say got me thinking “That must be some good weed he be smoking” and wondering where I can get me some lol…. Goofy senses of humor are my favorite!
Good show guys!
Okay, so the reason why Whoopi wasn’t at the Legends Ball, amongst many other Oprah events, is because they hate each other! Not sure what the backstory is, but my doctor’s husband used to work for Whoopi, and my doc has been a good friend of hers for years… He told me that Whoopi can’t stand Oprah… Whoopi has always been supportive of our community… Oprah has lots of gay friends, but rarely speaks out on our behalf. That always drives me crazy….
