In a historic announcement, President Obama today announced his support for John Travolta to be gay.
No word yet from the Scientologists, but they should be pleased. Lawyers are expensive.

Sharon Needles has won RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4, and all is right with the world. The weird boy in school, Aaron Coady of the unlikely Newton, Iowa, has been crowned — and we are all better for it. Hooray for the steel mills of Pittsburgh that forged this gorgeousness into an instant legend.
Giving a star-mix of wit and spooky fun, the face of drag is forever changed, as she joins the pantheon of ladyboy greats who sashay their way through the dragalaxy!
Congratulations to Sharon, for gallantly representing triumph over bullies, wit over anger, and gore with the glitz. She is, at once, a star in our bloody hearts!
Watch the full episode below.

Today’s Friday Face is singer Johnnie Ray, born in Oregon in 1927 and died of liver failure at Cedars-Sinai in 1990. Johnnie liked to drink. He had his first hit in 1951 with the appropriately titled “Whiskey and Gin.”
He was arrested twice for soliciting men for sex. Imagine that. The below article from L.A. Times, 1959.
He was found not guilty. Journalist and friend Dorothy Kilgallen supported Ray during the ordeal.
In 1952, he gained international fame with his hit “Cry,” and the flip side, “The Little White Cloud That Cried.” He unleashed a torrent of emotion in his singing, the likes of which had never been heard. Some say he made it possible for singers like Elvis Presley to break through.
His father was a fiddler and his mother a pianist. He lost his hearing in one ear after an accident, and then became nearly deaf after a surgery in 1958.
Check out the creepy flasher choreography in this clip.
Ray performed as Judy Garland’s opening act in 1969, at her last concerts in Denmark and Sweden. Here he is in a clip new to YouTube, with Patti Page on the short-lived 1958 TV show, “The Big Record.”
Cry for Johnnie Ray, today’s Friday Face.

Bruno Mars’ rep has put a big no-no wand over rumors that the fleet-footed pop star is gay, following a CNN iReport story (since removed) declared that Bruno said he was a friend of Dorothy. Apparently, he’s just a friend of Elton John, as seen here last night at the rainforest concert at Carnegie Hall.
The Huffington Post added a gallery to their story, with the alluring invitation to “Take a look at other celebrities who’ve faced gay rumors below:” (The italics are theirs.)

While the Mormons are busily engaged in posthumously baptizing dead people, including famed Holocaust victim Anne Frank. One man, whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and suffered the indignity of being “converted” by Mormons after death, got even, reports the Daily Kos.
The anonymous humorist thought it only fair to follow this absurdity with another, leading to the creation of the “Convert a Dead Mormon to Gay” web site, the idea of which is as outrageously cuckoo as converting someone’s religion after they’ve quit breathing.
Click the pic of the generator below to visit the site and save your favorite dead Mormon’s soul from an eternity without Madonna, cosmos, and Grindr. Don’t know any dead Mormons? They’ll find one for you, thanks to those handy dead Mormon databases.
Don’t know any dead Mormons who weren’t already gay? Me either.

A model, as seen today in the Minimarket A/W 2012 Fashion Show in Stockholm, and actor Willam Belli from the new season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
At least one of them is a man.

Dear Holy Father,
It’s not looking good for you. You’re 84, you’re THE POPE, and you haven’t yet learned what Jesus taught. I expect a little better from someone who had the sense to get the heck out of the Hitler Youth.
Let me make it simple for you, Your Holiness. Gay marriage is not a threat to the family. Snooki is a threat to the family. Kim Kardashian is a threat to the family. Trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and Newt Gingrich are a threat to the family. Faygelehs? Only a threat to bad decor… and not all of them.
Since I have your attention, you might want to talk to your tailor about updating your look. Those glittery robes and pointy hats are so 2nd century.
There are only half a million gay marriages in the US. There are 76 million American Express cardholders. I’d be concerned about that.
When you look at all the things that ail mankind (and I don’t mean Catholicism), the persecution of the legal coupling of people who would like to have privileges that they pay for others to have, and calling it a threat to the familly, seems a bit like saying that dinner mints are a threat to civilization. Okay, maybe the ones with jelly in them.
I’ll try to say it like Jesus did, or better yet, I’ll let Him say it:
I give you a new commandment:
Love one another;
just as I have loved you,
you also must love one another. (John 13:34)
Thanks for staying awake to read this.
Love,
Your Chexy
P.S. LOVE love luuuuuv the red shoes!
