A veritable ship of fools sails the globe these days. We've got ammosexuals forgetting that bullets can keep them trapped in paradise. We've got Dubai flooding for what we can only surmise is their disdain for LGBTQ+ to publicly hold hands. We've got our own American Tooter sitting in court defying (or adding to) gag orders and all kinds of other puns. Enjoy!

A bit of a history lesson on some key court decisions affecting LGBTQ+ lives and the current justices who are out to undo all the progress. But that's enough comedy! Have you seen the latest courtroom sketches? Speaking about 'sketch comedy' and courtroom gag orders, something doesn't quite smell right at a certain someone's trial.

A total eclipse for the ages has the boys talking about everything but Bonnie Tyler. The life-changing experience is not to be missed if you ever get the chance but heed our advice: keep your phones down and enjoy the moment! Some of us didn't listen. Also, is being big and stupid attractive? Plus some nudie mag talk and a game show that could be called Deal or Death. Enjoy!

You want your money laundered? Let us count the ways a former President has done just that. Let's just say those Towers of "Babble" around the world that carry a certain name ain't really occupied by much other than grift. From literal trials and the tribulations of women's rights in Florida, the boys tack a bit political in this episode (what isn't these days?) but there's a reason. When they go after the gays, all bets are off.

Beyonce's white horse and big western hat has a few old-country racists seeing red ... and we're here for all of it. Go Queen Bey! Meanwhile, the Feds are combing Combs (as in P Diddy) for some nasty evidence of really bad things as accusations fly. Person, woman, man, camera, TV? Nah. More like: Hat, house, Kate, crow, getting molested.

Can a gay man have a good time at a straight strip club? Of course! But some straight men hestitate going to gay bars, even with friends. Why is that? Also, if you're gay, you probably know a flight attendant or two. Back in the early days (and the glamor days) of air travel flight attendants had to put up with much more than air rage and unwashed, underdressed passengers. They had to fight for their rights to marry, have decent pay and not be fired at age 32.
