Summer has returned to Boston this weekend with a vengeance and for a few minutes today I experienced some serious de ja vu, thinking it was July.

Peaches Christ “Hocus Pocus” in Castro tonight
I normally focus my content on Boston, Ptown and Ogunquit but tonight I wish I was in San Francisco to see Peaches Christ theatrical production and latest stage play, Coven: Return of the Manderson Sisters.
The show is at the Castro Theatre and looks to be a blast. Are you in San Francisco? Do you have plans to check out this production? Do tell. I’d love to be there to see it.
Debunking The Top Five Myths About LGBT Non-Discrimination Laws
Living in Massachusetts it is easy to forget that there are cities and states around the country that do not have LGBT non-discrimination laws on the books.
While homophobia exists everywhere, there is power in having the law on your side and over time those laws influence behavior and help to change attitudes because the LGBT community is more welcomed and as a result able to live more openly.
Watch this video and share it.
D.O.J. to ask SCOTUS to uphold marriage equality rulings
Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Friday that the Department of Justice would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold same-sex marriage rulings from lower courts.
Don’t think elections count? Think again. Can you imagine any Republican President’s administration arguing on behalf of and in defense of LGBT rights?

Do your neck stretches
My trainer always tells me how important it is to stretch and how it can help get your blood flowing. Until I started these neck stretches I had no idea how true that really was so stop working for a few minutes and focus.
It was an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie…
Good god, that is a tiny, tiny speedo. I’m sure you aren’t complaining.
Marriage equality and US Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has been bedeviled by appeals from more than 20 states since they found both DOMA and California’s Prop 8 unconstitutional in the summer of 2013.
Justices will convene at the end of this month for their first fall conference to consider requests from states to review decisions that have struck down gay marriage bans. There is a recognition that SCOTUS will continue to receive more petitions if they do not rule on one or more of the outstanding petitions already awaiting them so nearly everyone predicts the justices will decide the issue by next June when they close for summer recess.
According to a quick / easy to read article in USA Today, many expect the Utah case Herbert v. Kitchen will be heard. The issues in this case essentially cover all the outstanding questions and could apply to many of the petitions currently before SCOTUS.
Time will tell but until then, all involved will continue to obsess. For more information check out the USA Today article here.
The unorthodox Orthodox 2015 calendar
Image from Orthodox Calendar 2012
The OC (Orthodox Calendar) is now selling their 2015 calendar and other materials. The calendar which was first published in 2012 is the brainchild of a group composed mostly of Orthodox eastern Europeans of the former communist region.
The calendar takes an ironic (and somewhat erotic) approach to the Orthodox Church, which recently has been embroiled in artist repression, questionable behavior and homophobia. Intrigued? Want to see more or perhaps order a calendar for 2014? Visit their website, www.orthodox-calendar.com.
Random mancandy post
I have nothing to share, and I’m too busy to write something from scratch so I thought I’d post this to fill the void.
Until I can come up with something more substantial, feast your eyes on this piece of mancandy.
Saturday night video
Varla Jean Merman’s take on School House Rock; quite educational and entertaining. Not safe for work but it is hysterical.
