Thanksgiving has come and gone, but we’re stuck with a fridge full of delicious food, the only problem is it’s all TURKEY.
What do you do with leftovers when the holidays have come and gone? You can really only eat so much Turkey Tetrazinni.
On today’s show our good friend blogger Michael “too legit to quit” Lehet joins us to talk about the movie, Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first openly gay publicly elected official.
The aftermath of the last election leaves many queer people in this country feeling anxious and that little has changed since the 1970s. It can feel like we’ve not come a long way, baby.
But the greatest atrocity this week was Rosie Live, Rosie O’Donnell’s attempt at reviving the television variety show was dead on arrival. Why Rosie, why? We love the 70s variety show genre and we hope someone else can revive it. Please don’t let Rosie be the last nail in the coffin. Create your own podcast sidekick with the virtual Rosie (Riding the Bus with My Sister) soundboard.
The fabulous fundraiser- World of Chocolate happens this Wednesday Dec 3, in Chicago will Michael find his true love at this delicious event?

Ask not for whom the bells jingle, they jingle for thee.
What is up with Christmas themed music and that annoying, repetitive jingle you hear in almost every song out there? You know what I’m talking about, that jing-a-ling that makes even my ting-a-ling mind go batty with holiday-themed anxiety.
On today’s show Marc and I talk about the historical significance of bells during the holiday season and why they seem to be everywhere during the winter months. What is it with those sleigh bells ring a ding ding-a-ling-ding? How did they come to be synonymous with the holidays?
Any song can be turned into a Christmas song just by adding some jingling bells into the beat! Grab a tambourine and try it on ANY song as long as it’s in 4/4 or 2/2. (Waltzes and polkas don’t work.)

Rick Stokes did what almost every gay man in Kansas did back in the 1950s- he got married to a woman. His wife knew that he had a number of gay experiences before they got married but whether it was naivety or wishful thinking, they thought his desire for a gay life would go away.
When his desires wouldn’t abate, his family, his wife and his in-laws convinced him to undergo electro shock therapy to cure him. After many treatments and with no guarantee of success, Rick opted out of this unusual treatment and ended his marriage. But he says later it was the kick in the pants he needed to help him to chase his own rainbow colored dreams.
He moved to Sacramento, CA to find the man who he would eventually spend 35 years with. Along with his partner, Rick formed the Association for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) to provide social interaction and to promote pro-gay action.
They group provided a place for people to feel good about being gay and to accomplish pro gay activities. One such activity was to raise awareness about STDs like gonorrhea or syphilis which were very common but were little understood by gay men or even by their doctors.
The pair eventually moved to San Francisco and became involved in the gay scene. Having acquired a law degree, Rick became well known as the “go to” guy if you got busted by the police for what were punishable offenses back in the day. Often times, people arrested for what was considered lewd behavior pleaded down to a lesser crime in order to reduce the risk of being found out and losing work. Rick convinced people to not “plead out” their cases but to go to trail. Eventually, the court system figured out that they weren’t go to win any of these cases so the police stopped targeting gay men.
Rick later ran against Harvey Milk for Supervisor seat in 1977 and lost. He will be portrayed by in the upcoming film “Milk” by Stephen Spinella, an openly gay actor known for his role in Angels in America and Spring Awakening on Broadway.
Listen as we talk with Rick about the horrors of being electrocuted in attempts to change your sexuality, working for gay rights in America at a time when being gay as illegal and where we are all headed in our fight for sexual diversity.

To kick off the ‘Ving Break, we’ve got hunky musician Tom Goss to serenade you into the weekend and help us to finally discover the true spirit of the holiday season.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then drag queens are the children of finding a shortcut to looking fabulous!
When Teri Yaki isn’t busy entertaining audiences in Chicago, she buries herself in her basement coming up with real-life inventions to patent, with hopes of making enough money one day to own her own nightclub.
Hailing from Detroit, Teri Yaki can fix a car blindfolded, hot glue herself a dress in seconds and make a one-hitter out of a tube of lipstick.
Think of Teri Yaki as Ron Popeil in drag. She’s actually come up with some remarkable ideas, including a mouse trap that plays a song whenever it catches it’s prey!
Will mousetrap jingles replace cell phone ringtones in the future as revenue sources for the music industry?
At least they didn’t wait over 400 years to forgive him, like they did with Galileo.
On Halloween, Oct. 31 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and officially conceded that the Earth was not stationary, as the result of a study conducted by the Pontifical Council for Culture. Galileo spent the last days of his life under house arrest for daring to suggest that the Earth revolved around the sun.

We dressed up as pandas for the local marriage equality protest to have a little fun and to stay warm. Yes, marriage and equality is a serious business but we still like to have fun and who doesn’t love a panda?
Here were are posing with a Defend Equality poster designed by Shepard Fairey, who designed the famous Obama Hope print. Thanks to Steamworks for printing them.
People loved the signs and I’ve got more that I’ll bring to the monthly organizing meeting of the Gay Liberation Network on Wednesday, December 3 “ 7 “ 9 PM at the Gerber Hart Library, 1127 W. Granville Street, Chicago (just ½ block west of the “Granville” Red Line el stop). Come and get involved in your rights!

Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what’s on the other side? And why is the internet chock full of nuts?
On today’s show we’ve got one of our power listeners, Dr. Thom Cantey, a resident psychiatrist here in Chicago.
He’s got some pretty strong opinions in regards to the recent passing of Proposition 8, and he’s here to share his thoughts on the issues brought up by this measure designed to take away same-sex marriage rights in California.
Are we uncomfortable educating our own families, religious groups and communities about the issues we face every day as gays and lesbians? Is challenging our churches a luxury most can not afford?
Oprah Winfrey makes Brad Pitt squirm as she introduces him to his number one stalker on her daytime talk show via skype. Wait a minute, Oprah skypes? Yes she does and poor Brad couldn’t get away from this woman who was fascinated by his tattoos.
Brad has a tattoo of –tzi, the prehistoric iceman on his arm. Poor –tzi was found frozen in an Italian glacier in 1991 who was rumored to have well preserved semen in his behind. So we wonder if Brad is trying to tell us something.
Puerto Rico bars discrimination against same sex couples, for now, but will it last? Governor-elect Luis Fortuño, says he may revoke it if the commonwealth can’t pay for it. I wonder if San Juan be the gay marriage capital of the Caribbean.

A healthy booty is a happy one! The butt is the final frontier, not just for food leaving the body, but it’s also a psychological, sexual place wherein lies desire and identity.
In many ways, to ask people to accept gay men, is to ask them to understand and embrace anal sex. Yes, that is not ALL we do in the bedroom, but it’s one of the important things in our sexual lives.
Whenever I hear the statement that “gay/butt sex is not natural,” I wonder if this person knows anything about biology or animals that live in groups. All of nature loves some back door hanky panky; monkeys do it, dolphins do it, even… ok, I’ll stop now before it turns into a Cole Porter song.
Have we always been so shy about our behinds? In the late 1800s French professional farter and entertainer Joseph Pujol, known as Le Pétomane, was a staple at the Moulin Rouge nightclub where he would play musical instruments with his butt, blow out candles from several feet away. He wasn’t farting though, he would suck air in through his butt and then forcibly expel it. He could also suck water out of a bowl with his backside. Now, that’s a power bottom.
Today we’re shining some light into the place where the sun doesn’t shine. What are some common misconceptions about anal sex? How do porn stars do all that sex in movies? Besides using condoms, what are some new ways you can protect yourself from HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases?
Taped live at the Center on Halsted in Chicago Illinois- we’re joined by our bootylicious group of sex-experts: Chicago Porn Star J.C. Carter, Dr. Will Wong of the Chicago Department of Public Health and our very own Jim Pickett of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and Project IRMA.

Let’s get a little bit Kloser, don’t be shy. The German born, African raised Jann Klose is here in the home studio and he looks and sounds like a dream.
Jann just dropped by the home studio to visit with us while he was in town to play at a tribute to musician Jeff Buckley who tragically died in a drowning accident in 1997.
We love to play Jann Klose’s song “The Strangest Thing” on our show because of the odd/far out news angles we like to feature on the show. It really feels like the song was written just for us.
Jann was born in Germany but grew up in Nairobi, Kenya and South Africa. He also lived in Cleveland as an exchange student while a teenager. It was while living in CLevelad that he grew to really appreciate music and laid the ground work for the musician he is today. He later performed in musical theater in such shows as Jekyll & Mr. Hyde and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Listen as Jann and his friend Lars Potteiger play some of their great hit songs in the home studio including “The Strangest Thing” and “Doing Time” from his new album “Reverie.”
Join us as we tlak with Jann as about whether cheetahs attack people just like lions, the influence of Jeff Buckley’s music and where’s the best place to meet musicians for collaboration.

How do you stop the hate in 2008? The recent passing of Proposition 8, a California State ballot aimed to take away the State’s ability to issue same-sex marriage licenses is raising questions on the role of race and sexuality in this last election. It’s also making people highly aware of the differences. Not everyone who voted for Obama was for marriage equality. How could that possibly be?
Although the African American religious vote made a small but significant difference in passing this ordinance, many people are pitting gay rights advocates against the black church.
Did queer folks fail to reach out to black churches or did these Churches fail to see the universal struggle for equality in their own back yard?
Why wasn’t Barack Obama’s rejection of the measure a bigger part of the campaign against the proposition?
On today’s show we have Chicago’s very own, the Rev. Charles Straight- Pastor of Faith United Methodist Church, in Dalton Illinois.
He’s here to help us make sense of what happened and what we can learn from this setback in order to fight against injustice wherever it rears it’s ugly head, even when it means taking a good hard look at ourselves.
In case you didn’t catch it, Wanda Sykes has come out, saying that she was born a beautiful black lesbian. Does being biologically gay mean people will be less likely to discriminate against you?
And the truth about beer goggles. British researchers conducted a study on the effects of alcohol on our attraction to others. They found out that tipsy men and women tend to rate their own genders as more attractive even after, as little as, one drink.

I simply love the Chicago Halloween parade. It’s a great place to meet everyday people expressing their desires of who they would like to be by dressing up in crazy costumes.
From the looks of the crowd people want to be a lot of things on Halloween, but most of all, they want to be fun!
We found that just about anything, from lip syncing, to dancing, to interacting with people is a heck of a lot more fun when you dress up in panda suit! You should definitely try it sometime.
Marc wanted to teach the “trick or treat” aspect of Halloween to the Asian folks at the parade, so he translated the phrase “You bring shame to your ancestors” into both Chinese and Korean and printed it onto white slips of paper much like fortune cookies. He gave the slips of paper to the Asians and then demanded candy, money or a kiss to take the message back.
Did they get it the prank? Some did, some didn’t, but do check out some of their funny reactions.
