“Happy birthday to the bestest boy.” 
– Antoni Porowski sends birthday wishes to Zacharias Niedzwiecki. 
Maybe it’s me, but someone referring to their beau as “boy” grates on me…
almost as much as when Ronald Reagan called Nancy “Mommy”.

I was winging my way across the Atlantic, so I didn’t see the Grammys.  Then I heard Cher announce Album of the Year going to… Luther Vandross??  The same Luther Vandross who died in 2005?  I think Cher actually said “Luther Gandrosz”, like her dentures were slipping.  But she looked good, and that’s gotta count for something.

When I landed in Europe, my first stop was one of those countries where, until recently, they didn’t believe in Jesus – or circumcision.  During my investigations of the latter, I learned that Grindr is disabling its location feature inside the Olympic Village.  People can still hook up, but locations will be vague.  Why?  Because being gay is still a crime in many countries – over 60, in fact (perhaps even where I am).  Since many of the athletes are not openly gay, Grindr is helping them protect their anonymity.  Grindr is also providing all Olympic athletes free access to primary features like unsending messages and screenshot blocking.  They’re all hard…er, heart!

There’s a war of words going on between Don Lemon and Nicki Minaj.  It started when the “singer” posted about Lemon covering that church protest in Minnesota (her post was all in CAPS, but I’ll save your eyes): “Don ‘Cock Suckin’ Lemon is disgusting.  How dare you?  I want that thug in jail!!!!!  He would never do that to any other religion.  Lock him up!!!!!”  Lemon probably giggled at being called a “thug”.  He said the following: “I have a lot of gay friends who love Nicki Minaj.  Why are you supporting this homophobic, bigoted, ignorant woman?  You should not be supporting her.  She is clearly out of her depth and doesn’t understand politics.  I’m not surprised that she is weighing in on something beyond her capacity.  Nicki Minaj is a ‘pick me’.  She will do anything that is expedient for her politically.  And, again, she’s ignorant.  She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.  She’s always weighing in on things that she doesn’t know about.  Nicki Minaj should just sit the fuck down.”

Nicki responded: “I purposely wrote that way b/c I knew that would be the only way to get cock suckas to post about it.  They would’ve all collectively ignored the despicable behavior displayed by Lemon head.  I’m glad they’re angry.  They’re about to get angrier.”  Then Minaj explained politics to us: “The LGBT has also started seeing through the veil & it has them pissed off.  Why are they getting the gay vote by default?!?!!!  They’ve moved on from the gay vote to flying in ppl to vote for them.  No loyalty to ANYONE.  The Gay community should be able to choose every 4 years like everyone else after the demoncrats [note: yes, that’s how she spelled it] CAMPAIGN to WIN your vote!  They should not just GET your vote!  WAKE UP.”  This time, it was Billy Porter who responded: “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.  Fuuuuuuck herrrrr.”
