The Judge
Dick of the week
I’m actually quite happy that I’ve not felt compelled to publish a “Dick of the week” post in quite a while but then I read about Dan Cathy. You may recall Dan Cathy. He is the loudmouth, conservative CEO of Chick-fil-A who last July caused a stir with his comments about how the public’s growing acceptance of marriage equality was, “inviting God’s judgement on our nation.”
What a dick, right? Well after the US Supreme Court’s decision this past week, he couldn’t help himself and felt compelled to Tweet about it. Interestingly, the Tweet was quickly deleted – clearly Mr. Cathy doesn’t seem to understand how the Internet works. What a dumb ass.
Cuddling
Seems like a very pleasant way to wake up.
T.G.I.F.
Have a great weekend guys. I’m off to visit friends in Albany, NY for the weekend. Do you have any plans? Are you celebrating Pride this weekend? Staying home? Do tell.
Pride weekend in New York City and San Francisco
As we head into the last weekend of June, New York City and San Francisco ready to have a memorable Pride celebration coming on the heels of two historic rulings from the US Supreme Court.
I want to wish everyone in both cities and everywhere else a happy and safe pride.
Flashback Friday
This week’s Flashback Friday post is courtesy of The Boston Globe archives and shows Commercial Street in Provincetown in 1979.

The New Yorker
This might go down as my absolute favorite magazine cover following the historic US Supreme Court rulings earlier this week.
Furry Friday
Half Arab, half French, Adam Champ is 100% sexy and very Furry Friday worthy. Don’t you think?
Dear $18 cocktail
Joe My God posted this photo from Penn Station earlier this week, and I have to admit I love the Visit Philly tourism banner. Maybe I need to book a trip to Philadelphia.
Tweet of the day: Joan Rivers
Yesterday, after the US Supreme Court ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional, Joan Rivers sent this tweet out to her followers.
Does wealth corrupt?
Last week NPR’s News Hour ran a segment called Why Those Who Feel They Have Less Give More. The segment is based upon the controversial study, Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior by Paul Piff.
Apparently the study has created a bit of an uproar with people saying this is about class warfare, but I thought it was interesting. My Liberal friends shouldn’t get too smug about this study because it paints quite a hypocritical picture. A consistent finding in all seven studies Piff ran was that social progressives or “Liberals” were just as likely to act unethically / immorally as their social conservative counterparts; meaning your political persuasion didn’t impact your behavior.
I’m not a sociologist so I didn’t bother to read the study that I link to in this post, but it does beg the question, does wealth corrupt? In study after study even those who came from a poorer background – when in simulated tests where they were made to feel “wealthy” – exhibited the same exact unethical decision-making tendencies. Below is the NPR segment that spurred the post.
I love Provincetown
One week from today, I will head down to Provincetown for the first time this year. Aside from Boston, there is no place I feel more at home and more myself than Ptown. Never visited Provincetown over the 4th of July holiday? A couple years ago I posted this video of what you can expect.
Buh-Bye Proposition 8
I’d like to say I’ll miss you, but frankly, I’ve never liked you very much; good riddance to you and everyone who supported you.
