Happy Thursday fam! Our incredible top story sees two gay fathers embodying the 'fuck around and find out' spirit, giving a right-wing influencer who accosted them a well deserved what for. Hopefully soon, the MAGA losers will learn that queers have learned to bash back 😇
Madonna, meanwhile, is still playing by her own rules, dropping new tracks — and causing gay meltdowns when they couldnt be streamed right away.
Finally, to some local queer spirit: the Australian Leather Competition brought the heat and the sweat, as well as the glorious kink history and community spirit, while Aussie queers are over the 90s moon that Darren Hayes is teaming up with Bachelor Girl for a re-do of one of BG's most iconic tracks.
Big personalities and big swings, both physical and metaphorical – that's the modern gay way, imo.
A “street interview” involving conservative influencer Ryley Niemi and a gay couple with their child in West Hollywood escalated into a physical altercation and an arrest.
Anthony Vulin said Niemi initially identified themselves as being from CNN, then asked the dads to react to the completely false “statistics” that said gay couples are more likely to be child molesters – and various other right-wing anti-LGBTQIA+ talking points.
Vulin was not having it, eventually punching Niemi — play stupid games, win stupid prizes, FAFO, etc etc. Good on him, imo!

Madonna confused and delighted fans this week with the release of her latest single, — except they weren't immediately streamable, so fans were struggling to find where they can listen to it. Cue gay meltdowns!
The single is off her forthcoming album Confessions II which she announced this week — don't worry, they are streamable now, and they absolutely slap. She hasn't lost it folks.
