Choice is choice is choice
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
The New York Times recently ran a piece detailing how Indian immigrants to the US are making use of new scientific techniques to determine the sex of a weeks-old fetus. Use of this technology is illegal in India because of
the fear that women there will abort fetuses determined to be female (since Indian culture puts such a high premium on male children). |

Basketball in the nude
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Dawn has read that three former basketball players at Rutgers have won the right to sue their coaches for "violating their civil rights." The coaches crimes? Requiring the lanky pair to take part
in a free-throw shooting contest wherein an article of clothing would be forfeited for every missed shot. |

Tits enliven Toronto
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
A recent article in the New York Times credits Toronto's colossal gay pride festivities with revitalizing that burg's once puritanical reputation. And key to the tremendous increase in the homo
holiday crowds, says the Times, was a court decision allowing women to go topless (as long as it's not for money). |

Flush-o-vision
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Dawn has spent hours loitering in toilets. While waiting for something interesting to happen, many crossword puzzles have been squibbed, books read, ideas contemplated. But Dawn confesses
to often being bored while toilet trawling. So news from Britain about a "Viewrinal" intrigued. |

You say 'asshole,' I say 'arsehole'
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Dawn loves a good cat fight. And Dawn loves gossiping about sex. So last month when Michelangelo Signorile (a darling of the straight press because he trashes gay male sexual culture) launched an attack suggesting that
Andrew Sullivan (a darling of the straight press because he trashes gay male sexual culture) was sticking his willy (or wrapping his arsehole) where it shouldn't ought to be, Dawn was transfixed. |

Snips and Snails
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
In another item from Britain, comes news from
The Independent of a cross-country crackdown on "net paedophiles" (or more accurately, those thought guilty of looking at naughty pictures). |

MACT gets it
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Dawn has shared laments with readers about the dumbing down of so many gay groups. Thus, it was with pleasure that Dawn read an April press release from Men of All Colors Together/New York. Their lead item? Coverage
of "Lobby Day" in Albany; for once, the lobbying wasn't for homo marriage or demands to be able to join the army and go kill people in foreign lands. No, MACT/New York was agitating for repeal of the "Rockefeller Drug
Laws," horrid legislation that treats possession of drugs more harshly than violent assault. |

No Shit?
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
The science of modern psychology has blessed us with the knowledge that the root of virtually every social ill can be traced to early childhood sexual trauma. But in the previous century, doctors and sociologists labored under the now-laughable delusion that
crime, suicide, nervous exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, bad skin, gum disease, cancer, and spinsterhood were all caused by poor bowel hygiene. |

Speak Free... and Resign
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
While Dawn doesn't actually advocate killing cops, the sentiment is all-too-easy to appreciate given routine police abuse that mayors and other politicians regularly ignore-- or endorse. So when newly elected New
Hampshire state representative Tom Alciere owned up to penning anti-police screeds on the web, Dawn took note. |

Not Enough
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
A Texas prisoner sued Penthouse magazine last fall. This is not news, for prisoners tend to be a litigious lot (understable, what with all the time on their hands and their familiarity with, and respect for, the courts'
power). |

Hail to the Thief
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Dawn is sometimes accused of being unpatriotic. But Dawn recognizes that America is a truly remarkable country. Where else could an illiterate, coke-sniffing, alcoholic, loser partyboy who wants to soak the poor to feed
the rich be elected president... without actually winning the election!?! |

The Plantation Solution
By: Dawn Ivory

The only good thing about the Bush/Gore presidential contest is that one of those sacks of shit will lose (as of Dawn's deadline it wasn't clear which SOS it will be). |

The Jockstrap Solution
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
These are hard times for many of our nation's schools. Despite huge surpluses, political will seems to dictate that tax money flow only to prisons and police (as well as tax cuts for George and Al's country club friends), not to schools. |

Your Tax Dollars at Work
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Steven Bosacker, aide to Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, pled guilty last month to charges that he had touched his pee pee in a health club steam room. The alleged pee pee touching was observed by some twisted sister who called the cops, who evidently responded
to the call! |

Dogs, not Ladies
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Heaven knows Dawn loves young homos, and from the ephebic looks of Patrick Price's publicity shots, his beauty and vitality would appeal. But why do children think they can write books about relationships (as Mr. Price has done in Husband Hunting Made Easy)? |

The Food Chain

Dawn is asked to handle many info requests, so when a puzzled reader wanted to know what "farming" meant in relationship to coprophilia, Dawn felt obliged to find out. |

It's the Gay Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
When town officials in Cuzco, Peru, made noises earlier this year about changing that thin-aired burg's
rainbow-striped city flag, Dawn was amused. Did they really think tourists would confuse the former Inca capital for a
gay Mecca? |

Mangled Metaphor
By: Dawn Ivory

After watching Cheney v. Lieberman, faggotty talking, plastic-surgery-addicted, right-wing grease spot Gary
Bauer wasted no time firing off a press release condemning GOP veep nominee Dick Cheney for his suggestion that gay
and lesbian people should be allowed to live. |

You lookin' at me?!
By: Dawn Ivory

Elsewhere in British news, a BBC report from Iran also amuses. Riots were triggered this summer in the town of Qir after a judge ordered the arrest of a grocer. The peddler's crime? "Flirting" with the judge's wife while the two were shopping at a local bazaar. |

Truly obscene
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
A charming animation video from France features the fleet-footed and quick-witted West African baby Kirikou. Over 300,000 copies of
Kirikou and the Sorceress have been sold in Europe, and the video has won
enormous critical praise for it's artful animation and clever story line. |

Shocking!
By: Dawn Ivory

With depressing regularity Dawn is sent clips like the recent item from New York Newsday reporting that three six graders in a Harlem elementary school have been arrested and charged with felony sex offenses (meaning that they could be required to register for life as "sexually dangerous persons"). |

Making modesty pay
By: Dawn Ivory
| |
Not usually one to take a keen interest in sports, Dawn does, nonetheless, often feel compelled to tune into men's swimming (and diving) competitions-- athleticism conducted almost in the nude creates a certain synergy
that attracts a larger audience. |
