The Gay Mafia
This is me with The Gay Mafia, a totally amazing queer comedy improv/sketch group, who perform on Saturdays at The Grounds in West Hollywood. I did their show and here we look like an a cappella singing group about to launch into “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”….
Beautiful
A DJ asked me, “What if you woke up tomorrow, and you were beautiful? I mean really beautiful. You were 19, blonde, weighed 110 pounds, 5’11” and beautiful. What would you do?” Maybe I mentioned this before. But I can’t let it go. Once a friend was upset about going home. Me: “Why?” Her: “Because […]
Bring ‘Em Home Now
The terrible Iraq war continues, for three years now, and Bush won’t bring the troops home. Isn’t that typical of a straight man – unable to prematurely withdraw? I performed at “Bring ‘Em Home Now!”- the massive anti-war concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night, and it was a lavish, star-studded sold out affair. I […]

Swan Lake
Whether you are an ugly duckling or a fully grown, glorious former or present cygnet, fly, don’t swim or walk to go see Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake. There are a few performances left at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles, and I wish I could be at every one. I love swans. I have had an […]

Thank You Ang Lee
To Ang Lee, Congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Director. I loved the film “Brokeback Mountain.” I sat in the theatre and cried so much, because you told the story with such dignity and truth. I have been working in the gay and lesbian community for over 20 years, as an activist and artist, […]
Stress Signal in South Dakota
Nearly all abortions will be illegal now in South Dakota. This is appalling and unbelievable and this is happening in America. We are losing the sense of who we are. We are losing our freedoms daily, one by one, like fingers from a leprous hand. Our once cherished beliefs like democracy and independence are decaying […]
Banning Adoption?
I was listening to a debate on banning gay and lesbian adoptions last night on the radio, which made me so furious, even more mad than the ever present LA early evening traffic in front of me. There are so many children in the world who need parents, and these people are trying to keep […]
