Did I hear gay?

Utada Hikaru's new album (her third English release) has been out in stores and I have to say, while I prefer her Japanese work, I liked it a lot. It's catchy and silly. Ms. Utada also happens to have a rather enthusiastic gay following (or so I'm told) and it seems as if she gives em a little shout out on one of her tracks in this new album.

In the first chorus...

(On & On)

I just want to dance the night, the night, away
Go ahead and make my day, Mr. DJ
(Make the night go on and on, make the night go on and on)

[Chorus:]
Honeys, if you're gay, burn it up, like a gay parade
Honeys, if you're straight, bump it up, take it all away
Intoxicated, emancipated, unapologetic's what I am today
Light me up

Here's the song for those interested in hearing the catchy tune.

Huh...so hanging out with lezzies (even fauxbians) will turn ya gay...

First it was Clementine Ford who tip toed in and then out (then back in and finally out) of the closet earlier this year, now its Kelly McGillis! Both lovely ladies had guest spots on the L-word (Clementine Ford and Kelly McGillis both appearing in season 5)and both coming out shortly after the show has completed its run. Say what you will about Clementine Ford's somewhat coincidental timing of her coming out party (as the L-Word ran towards its last episode) and it possibly being a publicity stunt, but it would appear that Ms. McGillis is just ready to join the dark side. You can read her coming out interview here at Shewire Article. I for one am always happy to embrace another out celebrity, so welcome Ms. McGillis. Who knew that the L-Word would be the jumping board for celebrities to come out? Now if only we could get a certain Ms. Sarah Shahi to join the party...

I'm Backkkk!

Sorry for the long hiatus all. Relocating, school and a large puppy kinda got in the way of my gaysian blogging ways. However, I shall be back home for the summer and gearing to get back into full "gaysian news" mode...which is really whatever random "gay" news or opinions I may have. In any event, last night I was flipping through channels and saw Serenity was on. Oh bittersweet happy day! I'm a true and through Whedonite, so naturally I love this show (Firefly), whose run was cut short prematurely. My only complaint about the show was the godawful "Chinese" that the characters would randomly start speaking. To be honest, it took me a good six episodes before I realized that was the language that they were attempting to speak.

Regardless of the language slaughter, it was still an amazingly well written show that was very character and story driven. It had a fun premise and I loved the world that Joss Whedon created. And typical of Whedon shows, a no-nonsense acceptance of queer sexualities, with some geeky humor thrown in for good measure. For a lot of folks I know it's all about Nathan Fillion (Captain Mal), but for me it's always been badass Zoe, sexy Inara and psychotic River that got my attention. Oh lovely, space traveling, bandit ladies...

Did I mention she carries a gun? A big gun?



And was I the only one who was cheering for a Zoe/Inara pairing?



River...crazy, deadly but oh so bendy!



Really though ladies, since the L-Word has so tragically ended and True Blood doesn't start up until June, take some time and check out this amazing series.
