Bad cops, no donuts! That’s one of Andy Thayer’s favorite chants. Andy is a hard working longtime activist fighting for gay and lesbian rights with the Gay Liberation Network.
Andy is leading this weekend’s demonstration against the Defense of Marriage Act. Will President Elect Obama repeal this awful measure?
President to be Obama seems to speak from both sides of his mouth about gay marriage and we wonder what are Obama’s true feelings on marriage equality.
Listen as we talk with Andy about politics, Blajovichian tactics, the fear of addressing the Middle East conflict, the bad economy and whether we hold Obama to too high of a standard.
A hostile letter to gay bars in Seattle Washington threatening to poison their guests with ricin sounds like it was written by a cheesy batman super villain. Was the author Catwoman or a pissed off gay man? We think it may be a Catwoman wannabe so Fausto does his best Eartha to read the man’s letter on today’s show.
An Australian court uses gay prison rape as a threat to a young driver if he does not stop speeding “You’ll find big, ugly, hairy strong men (in jail) who’ve got faces only a mother could love that will pay a lot of attention to you — and your anatomy… you’ll get to shower with the gorillas in the mist down at Long Bay jail.”
Gu Gu the panda fights back. Gu Gu attacked a visitor who jumped the barrier to retrieve a toy dropped by his five year old son and bit the man’s legs and refused to let go. The zookeeper had to pry his jaws open with tools to free the father. Just last year Gu Gu attacked a man who tried to give him a hug. The lesson here is simple, do not portend to mess with the panda.
And woes on snow, Austrian farmers are making money selling snow to German Ski Resorts. Even though Europe is as cold as hell right now, they aren’t getting enough snow at some resorts so they have to actually import snow for their ski trails.

If you have to be told not to mess with a panda bear, you have more than just one problem with you.
Great show guys. It’s great to hear from guys like Andy Thayer who are out there representing and fighting for our community. Great Miss Kitty voice Fausto, and lastly go Gu Gu!
That letter sound horrific!!!!
Keep us posted with updated.
On a lighter note, I’m SOOO greatful that the shows are back! You’re keeping me SANE during exam season.
Love it and love you guys.
I like to listen to Andy Thayer. I think he is a well educated, smart guy.
And yes, it is cold as hell in Europe at the moment. Already since 2 weeks it has been really cold in Germany. The lowest temperature was in south Germany, Bavaria with about 34 (Celsius) degrees minus. Last weekend I went to shopping outlet near Stuttgart with friends, on the way back it was 20 degrees minus. Where is global warming? I need it now!
Great show! Listening to Andy is refreshing, I love his views on politics, looking at what REALLY is going on behind the facades. I also was inspired by what he says about making politicians accountable for the promises they make by staging protests, making our voices heard beyond what has been accopmlished.
Fausto—you would not become the first openly gay alderman or Puerto Rican alderman in Chicago but I still think you should run! LOL
Thank you Andy! Keep on keeping on.
Marc, I was dying over the hidden Koran in bible joke.
And, Fausto I just LOVE your latina accents. The Maria Jinosa Latino USA was divine!
Thanks Tricky! By the way, she’s a real person.
