Gang–hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Too much turkey, not enough shopping, but bygones.
It's been one of those weeks getting back into the swing of things, so I'm going to share a bunch of random musings:
- Adam Lambert/American Music Awards: First of all– what a boring awards show. Yes, J-Lo fell. Janet lipsynched the opening. Kelly Clarkson rocked it out. But, Adam Lambert kissed and grossed a boy and the world fell apart! 1,500 calls to ABC! Good Morning America canceled his concert! CBS Early Show booked him but didn't show his controversial performance! Double standard? Maybe. But, shame on Good Morning America for canceling on him– especially when the network actively incorporates the LGBT community in their primetime shows. And double shame for CBS for capitalizing on the controversy but not showing his performance. What did I think about the performance? Much ado about nothing– especially the vocals
- Mrs. Keaton is a lesbian! In an overdue return to the pop culture radar, Meredith Baxter (aka Family Ties matriarch) came out on the Today Show as a lesbian. I don't know how Alex P. and the gang will react to this. But, kudos to Meredith for taking the gossip hounds to task by coming out on her own terms, and doing it privately with her family first before addressing it nationally.
- Cleveland is still rocking out as a result of My Games Rock! On Monday, Cleveland City Council unanimously passed legislation that expands the city's existing anti-bias laws to bar businesses from denying jobs or housing to people because of their gender identity or gender expression. It's great recognition for our transgendered community. Ohio is fast-becoming the LGBT mecca we dreamed. Here's hoping for more progress.
- Twilight vs. Precious. Precious wins, hands down.
Happy first December Friday to all. Speak to you next week.
