Cleo and Amy are back! They take on President Obama signing the Defense Spending and Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Bill. The gals also discuss why it's taken so long to get into law. Cleo also explains the controversy of the Reggae singer Buju Banton. Are we holding up this one singer when we should be addressing a larger table of folks? This show is being posted on a very historic day for the GLBT community!
WOW! That GAGA! She keeps pushing it further and further and further and
FURTHER. Go on! I predict at this pace she could totally eclipse Madonna as
the most edgy pop star of all time. She just gets it - or can I say that we
as Gays get her. You go girl! Not that I have any understanding of what she
means by a Bad Romance.
;)
Check out the new video for yourself.
(and to think we gave her her big start at Gay Idol in 2008....jk)

jeff S: Amy!
Michael J gave us all alot of happiness and sadley enough,he died probably as lonely as u can imagine because only his dr's and closet friends (who actually lived w/ him) stood by him. Of course, he loved his kids Blanket,Prince Michael and Paris. I will miss MJ's great style and care of the world he had because he was original and everyone else had to follow his strides and evolution into the music biz.
