The Gay Uncle has never been able to figure out exactly what about.com is. But someone over there seems to like him. Witness this piece “You’re in Good Hands with the Gay Uncle” that is–sort of–about him. Go on over and visit and report back if you have any idea what this site is all…about.
Gay Uncles are Necessary!
A new University-based, Canadian study conclusively proves the evolutionary value of Gay Uncles! Gunc barely resists telling the world, “Told you so.”

Mardi Gras: Torture & Rapture
I spend a week drinking and parading my way through my adopted city, and discover that everything that sucks about Mardi Gras is just the flip side of something that’s great about Mardi Gras, sort of like life itself.

Boyota Returns!!
Toyota’s a-cappella singing sensation returns to chant a protective spell over the 2011 Avalon (and I offer to write them a song.)
Love is a Crazy Thing
Just in time for Valentine’s day, The Gay Uncle brings you this gorgeous photo essay. It’s a piece Gunc did for Babble in which he interviewed 2-6 year-old kids about love. Shot on location in frigid wintry Tompkins Square Park, in Manhattan’s East Village, by the talented Lauren DeLuca.

Lap Dancing on the Lap of Luxury
Just what you wanted to cap off your Friday: several minutes of me talking–in my inimitable and infectious way–to Detroit Public Radio about the meaning of LUXURY, while seated in the back seat of a $300,000 Bentley Mulsanne. All this while unemployment in the city hits record highs, and people sleep on the snowy streets right outside. Talk about sensitive!

Drew Brees Tosses Off at Me
Last night, the Gay Uncle attended the New Orleans Saints’ victory parade. He was fortunate enough to snag a stellar viewing spot on a friend’s balcony. And when the team’s quarterback, the amazing Breesus (blessed be he) passed by, Gunc was there with a video camera to capture the insanity. You can read his deconstruction of the parade, and watch the little movie of his moment of connection with the QB, here.

Saints Win, Gunc Hugs Straights
Last night, The Gay Uncle watched a football game. Some of you may have watched it as well. It was called “The Superbowl” and it was mostly about grown men rubbing up against each other while wearing so much padding that they can safely pretend not to feel anything sexual about this. The part that’s not about that is about drinking, and the rest is about ads that tell men that they’re oppressed and need to act out by buying a car, visiting a website, or considering the purchase of some new facial products (or drinking more). The team that won this game is from the city where Gunc is living right now, New Orleans, so he was obligated to go out and party with the townsfolk. This is what he discovered.
