"Gay Marriage House of Horrors," a website just launched by homophobic activists in Maine ahead of a possible marriage equality initiative in November, is ruffling some feathers (and not just the ones on the boas of the two revelers pictured here) across the blogosphere today. 

A thoroughly informative and totally-scientific PSA tutorial from the United Arab Emirates entitled "Be Yourself" is helping its LGBT youth be themselves ... as long as being themselves means not being stereotypically gay.

New Orleans Saints linebacker (our straight friends had to explain that to us) Jonathan Vilma has decided, once and for all, what makes a man. (Oh, and Vilma has a special message for all you homosexual men who might be offended by his Tweet.) Details follow.

Herman Cain might not know much about delicate international politics or the plight of the middle class or whether or not he was the subject of a sexual harassment suit, but he does know one thing: pizza. In a recent interview with GQ he put his expansive pizza knowledge to use to inform the American public about the gender expression of "manly" and "sissy" pizzas.

So, what does Herman Cain say makes for a "sissy" pizza?

The so-determinedly-hetero-it's-questionable Spike TV today announced the categories and nominees for its fifth annual Guys Choice Awards. So, what are a few of the chin-scratching category titles that sound like they're more appropriate for the GayVN Awards and not Spike's annual bash?

You'd think that a company that wants you to put something called a Manwich in your mouth might embrace its gay demographic. Nope. Watch a new ad spot promoting the perceived butch-ness of the sloppy sandwich after the jump, and let us know if you find it offensive.

Just in time for New York's decadent Black Party weekend (next weekend!) comes Brutal Truth, a hard-bound (pun intended) homage to butch men who are a little rough around the edges from photogrpaher Michael Alago. A follow-up to Alago's 2005 hit Rough Gods, the new hardcover hardcore photo-book features many altars we'd be happy to kneel before. Too impatient to wait for the Amazon shipping dates? We've got a handful of preview images from Brutal Truth to whet your whistle! Follow the jump and let us know which model is your favorite (NSFW-ish).

Move over absent fathers and demonic posession; seems celery is the true cause of unwanted homosexuality in men! (Isn't it odd that for a culture without masculine and feminine nouns we still masculinize and feminize objects?)

Once a Canadian champion on the ice, Elvis Stojko is now taking his figure skating competition into the social arena by trying to lead male skaters away from what he lables "effeminacy."

Stojko, now living in Mexico, is a correspondent reporter on the Vancouver games, but took time out of his schedule to give Salon.com an interview chock-full of gender stereotypes, homophobia, and more insults than we can include in a single blog entry.

Some highlights of the interview:
