Marry me Mariah?

Even though we don't typically don't focus on political issues, occasionally we like to straddle the lines because it's important for our LGBT community.

Gay marriage has been a scorching hot topic lately starting with the Prop 8 fiasco in last year's California election. In fact Maine is going through the same legislative bullshit, but there has been some great, positive strides recently with the March on Washington Rally and President Obama speaking at the HRC black tie dinner. Shockingly though, HOMOPOP was not invited to the event, nor did we have the thousands of dollars to attend this function. But I did show my solidarity by being down in DC only a block away whooping it up at the EAGLE with a bunch of daddies like Mike ran into in the NYC Eagle. And to show even more support we headed to the classy dick bar Secrets and danced our asses off with beefy naked strippers, but I digress.

The best part about this hot button issue is all of the celebs coming out of the woodwork to support us. Keeneye talked about the Baltimore Raven's Superstar Brendon Ayanbadejo as well as our recent post about Adam Bouska and his No H8 Photo Campaign. What really makes stand up and hoot and holler with glee (and not the TV show) is when queens get to actually stand up in front of celebrities and propose to each other. That takes a lot of guts for the celebs - like Mariah Carey to be a part and the homos for not throwing up being in the face of their idols! I commend them both! Say what you want about Mariah, she's been clawing her way back to her diva status and in my opinion, this little coolness has put her back on top again. Big props from HOMOPOP.
