John Waters must Really Like Poppers

This is one giant sized bottle of Rush Poppers. It is an new art exhibit with sex, drugs and $880 k face creme. Water says "I always try to glorify things people try to hide," he muses.

Gay Families At White House's Easter Egg Roll

The Obama administration has invited gay families to join in the White House annual Easter Egg Roll on the lawn of the President's home ...

In case you hadn't heard, White House officials said that tickets for Monday's Easter Egg Roll event were distributed to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender organisations, but did not specify how many or to which ones.

Representatives from Family Equality Council, Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and other groups confirmed they were invited and encouraged to have their members participate.

"The Obama administration actually reached out to us as an organisation, and said we want gay families there, and they are an important part of the American family fabric," said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of the Boston-based Family Equality Council, which is helping spearhead the effort to organise families to attend.

New Eco Friendly Line of Sex Toys

Earth Day is April 22nd and this year you can get rid of your blue balls and still be green. Adult novelty retailer Good Vibrations has unveiled a new environmentally conscios line of toys called Ecorotic. The Ecotoric line focuses on delivering toys made from organic products and powered with rechargeable batteries. As with all Good Vibrations products, none of them include phthalates, the widely frowned-upon and mostly banned plastic softener.

Good Vibrations staff sex expert Dr. Carol Queen said that there's no reason why sound ecological thinking can't be sexy.

“Sex is part of our lives, so any issue that concerns us out of the bedroom has implications inside it: if we recycle, buy local produce, watch our carbon use, and think ecologically in other ways, it makes sense to do the same when we make sexual choices," she said. "Our well-being and that of the earth are connected, so consider where you can go Ecorotic.”

University of Maryland to Set Porn Policy

The fallout from last week's canceled screening of Digital Playground's "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" at the University of Maryland continues as the University System of Maryland's Board of Regents today directed Chancellor William E. Kirwan to develop policy recommendations regarding sexually explicit material on state university campuses.
The screening, scheduled for April 4 in the student union, was canceled April 2 after lawmakers threatened to cut the University's funding if the film was shown. Students showed excerpts from the production on their own in a campus lecture hall Monday night.

Lawmakers have agreed to drop the funding threat if the state's universities develop a policy for showing adult material.

During the discussion in the state legislature last week, one state senator suggested denying any funding to a higher education institution that allows a public screening of a film marketed as a XXX-rated adult film — unless it is part of an official academic course.

The plan is to be presented to the regents this summer, before the Sept. 1 deadline set by the legislature.

Iowa's Gay Marriage Ruling Gives Californians Hope

That hope may be short-lived. In California, the question is now not about gay marriage, but about the constitution-altering rights of the people ...

Gay marriage supporters are particularly interested in the Iowa Supreme Court's ruling, which they hope will sway the California Supreme Court to overturn the ballot measure voters passed with 52 percent of the vote in November.

But opponents say the Iowa decision should have no bearing on the essential issue before the high court: Whether voters have the right to amend California's constitution at the polls.

Yep, It's A Recession: Men's Underwear Sales Drop

Former US Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan once said that a fall in men's undies sales is a clear sign of a wide-scale financial crisis - well, guess what ...

A revised survey by the leading global research company, Mintel, shows relatively large drops in the sales of men's underwear in the United States.

The study, to be released April 9, projects a 2.3 percent drop in sales of all men's underwear products in 2009.

"Men's basic apparel products probably have the least fluctuating sales of all [apparel products]," Matt Hall, a spokesman for Hanesbrands Inc. said in an interview.

"But recessions impact all categories and men's underwear sales are no different... Men's underwear is a replenishment item."

NYC Tries To Boost Gay Tourism

New York City officials are turning to gays and lesbians to help reduce a projected $4 billion budget deficit. The nation’s largest city unveiled a marketing campaign Tuesday to attract more gay and lesbian tourists from around the country and the world as other U.S. cities compete to strip New York of its title of No. 1 vacation destination for gays and lesbians.

The campaign kickoff also comes months in advance of the June 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in Manhattan, considered the start of the modern gay liberation movement.

The new campaign will highlight New York’s reputation as a gay-friendly travel destination and tout a visit to the city as a “rite of passage.” The campaign will include advertising on niche Web sites and in magazines, as well as bus stop shelters, utility poles, street furniture, telephone kiosks and railroad stations.

The annual economic impact of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender travelers is about $70.3 billion in the United States, according to Community Marketing.

District of Columbia to Recognize Out-of-State Same-Sex Marriages

"Domestic partnerships are already legal in the nation's capital, and gay couples married in other states are recognized as domestic partners when they move to the city. But today's legislation, billed as an important milestone in gay rights, explicitly recognizes them as married couples. The initial vote was 12-0. The unanimous vote sets the stage for future debate on legalizing gay marriage in the District and a clash with Congress, which approves the city's laws under Home Rule. The council is expected to take a final vote on the legislation next month."
