The gay community has known that Apple CEO, Tim Cook, is gay for a very long time.  Despite that fact news of Tim Cook coming out today is a HUGE deal.

“Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. It’s made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple.”

Earlier this month Boston’s newest night club CandiBar opened in the Theater District at 279 Tremont Street.  Club kids will recognize this as a remodel and re-branding of Underbar.

In addition to the new name and look, CandiBar, includes an amazing lighting system and whimsical decor that is filled with ruby red love seats in the shape of lips and heart shaped ottomans to relax.  Open Thursday – Sunday, most guys will head there for Hot Mess Sundays.

Tonight is the monthly LGBT underground dance party Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) at Great Scott in Allston.

DADT organizers dare you to embrace your inner freak as they pay homage to ourselves, our community and the AHS Freak Show. Resident DJ/MC Colby Drasher will be conducting the evil debauchery with his twisted and sexy soundtrack.  And Nick Day delivers terrifyingly bizarre projections around the dance floor.

The party starts at 10PM and has a $10 cover.

Congratulations to Urvashi Vaid, this year’s recipient of the GLAD Spirit of Justice Award.  The black tie gala on Friday, October 24th  is in honor of the great work The Gay Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and people like Vaid do to champion and protect the rights of our community.  You can learn more about Urvashi Vaid, the Spirit of Justice Award banquet and GLAD by linking here.

My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to GLAD, their volunteers and everyone who supports their work.

Perhaps a cup of coffee might help wake you up?  If not perhaps a photo of a shirtless, handsome young guy might suffice? Just trying to chase away those Monday blues.  Have a good one.

This year’s Orthodox Calendar is decidedly more provocative.  How do I know this? The calendar that features barely clad men with chiseled bodies arrived at my house while I was away on business.

OC maintains that their unconventional and bold images are used to counteract the negative influences of most of the Orthodox Church leadership and challenge notions of sexuality.  You can learn more about this group and purchase the 2015 calendar here.

Much thanks for the 2015 O.C. calendar!
