I perform an analysis of the historic California gay marriage decision, and offer up some advice on how to best impact on the case’s eventual trajectory toward the Supreme Court, for the Vanity Fair website.
Note: My plan involves bribery, and speaks directly to “Friends of Dorothy”. Click here, to begin clicking your heels together, bitches.
The Gay Uncle makes a triumphant return to the virtual pages of Momlogic with this instructive piece on how (and how not) to deal with your unruly child on a three-hour flight.

The Gay Uncle has his fingers in a whole host of proverbial pies. One of them encompasses his role as Academic Adviser to the Children’s Advertising Review Unit of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CARU). This is the group that is responsible for creating and enforcing the rules that govern consumer messages (ads, and the like) aimed at kids, and protecting them from nefarious practices.
CARU has just produced a series of new Public Service Announcements aimed at encouraging parents to pay attention to where their kids are going on line both in order to help kids understand the potential perils of their behavior, and to alert them to the fact that CARU is a resource for more information on how to talk to your kids about navigating the world of consumerism. These spots are titled “Do You Know Where Your Children Are…On the Internet?” and star TV mom Catherine Hicks (from “7th Heaven.”) Just click here, and you can scroll through and view all three of the thirty second videos.
My eleven year-old niece and I took a road trip together to Provincetown last weekend in a BMW 335i Convertible. Can you say “Girls Just Want to Have Fun?”

In an uncharacteristically low-ball lob, I created a slide-show this week for my online car column at Vanity Fair. Its subject? Ten cars that look exactly like adorable animals. You will not believe how fucking CUTE it is!

I had the good fortune of landing two tiny automobile-related pieces in a pair of print mags this month. If you’re interested in reading them, you can either play a game of Where’s Waldo and attempt to locate them in the actual hard copy, or you can click beneath and view them that way.
(Sorry for my mad-shitty technical skills. I’m sure there’s a much lovelier way to render this.
But I don’t know it.)
The Acura RL is just like Jennifer Grey, Warhol’s “Empire”, and Skeet Ulrich. Find out how in my review of Honda’s upscale brand’s top-notch offering, over at the Vanity Fair website.

Today, I made a marriage vow I hope I don’t have to keep. (Or maybe I hope I do?) I promised to gay marry my boyfriend of 20 years at an amusement park. But only if the grotesque, retrogressive, Roberts Supreme Court overturns DOMA, which has about as much chance of happening as my sprouting a vagina on my chest. Still, I put this in writing, at Vanity Fair.
I talk with Glee’s adorable and talented cast member about his Emmy nomination, father/son action, and the best possible ways for him to guarantee that he doesn’t win the Best Supporting Actor award.
Also, there’s a funny part about Jane Lynch and a bedazzled track suit.
It’s all there, at Vanity Fair.
Mad Men and Glee, two of my favorite TV shows (okay, the ONLY two I watch) shocked exactly no one today when it was revealed that they dominated the nominations for this year’s Emmy awards. But this doesn’t mean there’s no news there. There is. It’s just…buried. To find out what their success means about the American character (and Drag) take a little click-walk over to Vanity Fair, where I’ve fabricated crafted some interesting theories that make sense of all of this.
