New York Club Promoter Tells Ian Reisner Not To Blame Gays For His Business Mistakes
New York Club Promoter Tells Ian Reisner Not To Blame Gays For His Business Mistakes
Reisner
I have not talked (on line) about the OUT NYC boycott. BUT I just saw the New York magazine article on this whole Ted Cruz, Ian Reisner and Matt W thing…. Now I have to speak out to Ian on what he said (see below) in that article about gays ‘Gays are cheap comment..
Gays, like and any group, will spend their money when you give them something that they want or need. Do not blame the community for any of your failures to make money. xl made over $8M dollars the year Beto and I ran it. Then you all thought you could do it by yourself and we got the ax.
You lost your shirt the next two years trying to do it yourself.
So, you have no one to blame but yourselves. Gays are not Cheap… as a matter of fact we spend more of our money on going to bars, night clubs, hotels and resturants than do most other people.
Just tell the truth. You have lost money on The OUT NYC because of the way you and Mati managed or should I say miss-managed THE OUT NYC … don’t blame us for your mistakes.”
— John Blair, who with husband Beto Sutter promoted Ian Reisner’s now-closed Roxy nightclub and his XL club, in a note posted to his Facebook page in response to Reisner’s comment to New York magazine that his businesses haven’t shown a profit because gay people are cheap

Nebraska Woman Files Federal Lawsuit Against All Homosexuals
Nebraska Woman Files Federal Lawsuit Against All Homosexuals
Sylvia Driskell, a 66-year-old Auburn, Nebraska woman, has filed a federal lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Omaha against all homosexuals, the Omaha World-Herald reports:
Citing Bible verses, Driskell contends “that homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in the closet(?)”
Driskell wrote in a seven-page petition to the court that God has said homosexuality is an abomination. She challenged the court to not call God a liar.
She spelled it “lier,” according to the Lincoln Journal-Star.
Added Driskell:
“I never thought that I would see a day in which our great nation or our own great state of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some people(’s) lewd behavior.”
The handwritten complaint lists the defendants as:
Homosexuals
Their Given Name Homosexuals
Their, Alis Gay
Driskell says she is an ambassador for God and his son, Jesus Christ.

Justin Timberlake’s Son Gets Not One But Two Gay Nannies
Justin Timberlake’s Son Gets Not One But Two Gay Nannies
When it comes to hiring someone to take care of their newborn son, singer Justin Timberlake and his TV actress wife Jessica Biel decided they needed not one but two nannies — and they’d better be gay.
The couple, who were married in 2012, have reportedly hired two homosexual mannies to help care for their bouncing baby boy, Silas Randall Timberlake, who was born last month.
“[Biel] hired two gay male nannies she knows through mutual friends and is having them rotate schedules,” a source told OK! magazine.

However, don’t think they’re not hands-on parents. According to an insider, Timberlake loves being a dad. And when it comes to changing poopy diapers, he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty.
“He’s in there too, changing diapers and gushing to everyone he knows that Silas is already ‘a little angel.’”
The couple recently moved to Montana City, CO, Biel’s home state, so they could raise their son outside of the spotlight. Though the move is only temporarily. According to sources, they plan to return to their Hollywood Hills digs later this year when Biel launches her new restaurant Au Fudge.
Congrats to the new family and their mannies!

PHOTOS: Gay/Straight BFFs Have Best Prom Ever, Despite Walmart Cake Controversy
PHOTOS: Gay/Straight BFFs Have Best Prom Ever, Despite Walmart Cake Controversy
Going viral certainly has its upsides.
Jacob and Anthony’s modern day prom bromance had the internet feeling all the feels. Which meant Ellen wasn’t far behind with an oversized check (two, actually).

And with cash in hand, Janthony was ready to have the best prom ever, and Teen Vogue made sure it’d be one to really remember.
They picked out some sharp attire:
Took lots of photos, of course:
Instagramed some food porn:
And shared a bromantic dance. Watch those hands:
The only hiccup came in the form of (what else?) a minor cake controversy.
Anthony’s Aunt went to the Las Vegas Walmart to get a cake to surprise the boys. She wanted it to say “You’re gay, he’s straight, you’re going to prom, you couldn’t have had a better date,” but the store refused to write the word gay in icing.

She finally settled on “You matter, prom kings,” which is much less fun than the original.
A local news station reached out to Walmart to find out what happened. Fox5Vegas reports:
“…a spokesperson said that after investigating the incident, it was discovered that proper management wasn’t contacted. They said nowhere in their store’s policy does it say the word ‘gay’ can’t be written on a cake.”
Why’s it always got to be a cake?
