Who are the Out Gays at the Olympics ?
You know who we'll have our eye on, Matthew Mitcham.
This out-and-proud 24 year old Austrulain Diver won GOLD in 2008.
Mitcham represented Australia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 10 m platform and the 3 m springboard events. He placed 16th on the 3 m springboard and did not qualify for the final. He qualified in second position for the semi-final and final of the 10 m platform event. After experiencing mixed success in his first five dives in the final, Mitcham entered the final round of dives in second place, 34 points behind Chinese diver Zhou Lüxin. After Zhou performed his worst dive of the final and scored 74.80, Mitcham still needed to score 107.30, a very high score on the platform, to win the gold. However, his near-perfect final dive drew four perfect 10 scores from judges and achieved a score of 112.10, the highest single-dive score in Olympic history. He finished with an overall score of 537.95 to defeat Zhou, who finished with an overall score of 533.15, to win Australia's second diving medal of the Games. His win prevented China from claiming a clean-sweep of all diving gold medals at the Olympic Games. He is the first Australian male to win an Olympic gold medal in diving since Dick Eve in 1924.
And while we will always cheer for Team USA, we also plan on cheering for team GAY!

I'm proud to be called a gay rapper
HOMO:music
Hip hop fans, get ready for Gay New York Rapper Le1f.
Le1f explained to Fader
"I am gay, and I'm proud to be called a gay rapper, but it's not gay rap. That's not a genre. My goal is always to make songs that a gay dude or a straight dude can listen to and just think, This dude has swag. I get guys the way straight rappers get girls. I'm not preachy. The best thing a song can be called is good." - Le1f via
Boy, you got swag in this video. (And some moves too)
(AND we love your Pokemon man)

Vita.mn's "Best Gay Bars" List 2012
 Vita.mn has released their annual list issue.Vita.mn Explaines:"Here at Vita.mn, we're more interested in hearing what you think about the Twin Cities than in listening to ourselves prattle on and on. So we invented our unique little piece of "lists" software (© 2006) that lets online users share their personal Top 10s on everything from fine dining to sex toys to bathrooms (not necessarily in that order). Then, all of your Top 10s get combined into a master list representing the public consensus as of right now. Last time we checked, Vita.mn had 2,312 of these lists. We've compiled 138 of our favorites into this, the sixth annual List of Lists issue."See who won "best gay bar" and some of our other favorite lists after the jump." |

New downtown rooftop patio
The Team behind Crave (please note: the restaurant, not the party KRAVE) is opening a new restaurant in the old downtown Shinders location. The 200 person rooftop patio is going to be quite a sight!
"The predominant feature is a retractable, 28-foot-high glass roof, which, when closed, will become a four-season, climate-controlled space."- Rick Neslon, Strib
A 4 season rooftop patio, how awesome is that! (and we're glad something finally moved into that old Shinders)
The project is said to be completed by early November.

mama I'm in love with a (smooth) Criminal
Lets play a game called "Try and guess my new favorite Holiday"
...Ok, start guessing
Not Pride
No, not Christmas
Nope, not Halloween
I do love flag day, but that isn't it.
Give up?
SMOOTH CRIMINAL DAY!
Ok, while it isn't an "official holiday" (and banks are still open) we think it is a very important holiday in the land of HOMOapolis.
What is it? you ask,
Why it is the day that the Smooth Criminals Softball team releases the photos from their annual photo shoot with Eliesa Johnson. (ok, this is only the 2nd year, but we have our fingers crossed for next year!)
