This year, as we bow our heads over our giblets, we have reason to put a little extra «thanks» into Thanksgiving: The One News What? blog.
One News What? is described as, «An exploratory study of the loony wing of the Christian Right» or, as author vesti explains in his inaugural post,
Hello, and welcome to the disturbing world of OneNewsNow.com. It's a vast, dark, ignorant, vacant lot of fundamentalist id, where like-minded evangelical extremists can fight over who loves Jesus the most (hint - to win, you have to REALLY hate homosexuals).
Though incessantly threatening to stay away in droves from Gay Mecca, ultra-Christian fringies can't seem to make up their righteous minds.
Boycott--kinda, sorta, maybe, not really I:
Within a week of calling for a «nationwide boycott» of Eureka Springs, the rabidly anti-gay Jericho Riders (so-called) Christian Motorcycle Ministry had an apparent change of heart and announced that it would be returning to hold yet another cast-out-the-queers «prayer walk» in Basin Park December 7.
Just when we thought we'd heard the last word on gay slang (which happened about the time our local Religious Rightfolk decided that «eclectic» is secret code for «gay,») a new definition appeared in the Official Gay Dictionary.
(Why yes, Mary. There is one.)
Our Gay News adjective of the day is, «Post Label,» defined as, «A term used to describe individuals that prefer not to label their sexual identity as gay, bisexual or straight. Post-label individuals see sexuality as more fluid than the traditionally rigid interpretations of gay or straight.»
(Eureka Springs, AR)--The first and only Domestic Partnership Registry in the Arkansas continues to attract couples from around the state and nation. Last week, 13 couples joined the registry, 12 of them on Friday, Nov. 2, opening day of the city's annual Fall Diversity Weekend.
Gay New Bureau paid the $35 application fee for three randomly-chosen couples: Leah Smith and Rebecca Brown, and Heather Hodges and Brandi Willingham, all of Claremore, OK, and Darci Bohneblust and Jolene Hickman of Riley, KS. To mark the occasion, the couples also received gift bags with top hats and veils from eurekapride.com, free weekend transportation from Eureka Springs Limousine and discounts from local merchants and inn keepers.
Birds of a Feather: Leah Smith and Rebecca Brown flank City Clek MJ Sell
If you plan on taking advantage of the only Domestic Partnership Registry in Arkansas during your Diversity Weekend visit, let GayNewsBureau.com pick up the tab.
For the first three couples to register at city hall at specific times between October 31 and November 2, Gay News Bureau will pay the $35 application fee.
Here's how it works: Be the first in line at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, October 31 or Thursday, November 1 to get a Domestic Partnership certificate on us. Or, be the first in line on Friday, November 2 between 10 and noon.
It's autumn in the Ozarks, that glorious time of year when trees don their colorful gay apparel in preparation for Fall Diversity Weekend. As is traditional in the weeks leading up to every Diversity Weekend--particularly fall--the HSA (Homosexual Security Agency) division of Gay News has noted a sharp uptick in religious terrorism chatter.
The first thing that caught the attention of alert Gay News readers was a poll on the front page of Eureka's local right-wing newspaper. The question: «How do you feel about the efforts of Eureka Springs Mayor Dani Joy so far?»
Innocent question, no? Perfectly normal thing for a newspaper to ask: «How do you feel about the performance of an elected official?»
We haven't done an official tally lately, but the number of gay-owned businesses in Eureka Springs may have just breached the 50 barrier with the recent opening of two new retail shops. An old-favorite motel has new owners, too.
Fusion Squared, a suitably eclectic enterprise at 84 Spring St. (479-253-4999) features extraordinary fused-glass jewelry and decorative plates and bowls--along with chain-mail bracelets, necklaces, to-die-for tie-dyed tees and original drawings by Topeka, Kansas artist Chris Prouty.
Proprietors and artists-in-residence John Rinehart and John Jarrett happily abandoned corporate ships in Topeka to launch their new retail venture in Eureka Springs. «We had visited the town four or five times in the past, loved it and, well, the rest is history,» says Rinehart. The shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
We knew it.
Here at Gay News, we weren't a bit surprised when J.K. Rowling outed an imaginary character from her popular, «Harry Potter» series. We always suspected the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry likes a bit of wand.
One imaginary gay icon reacted swiftly to the news.
