Ready to Bare : Queer Culture, News, Art, Community & Discussion
I am an unusual gay. And here is one reason why. I have only ever liked one album of Madonna’s- Madonna is the debut album of American recording artist Madonna, released on July 27, 1983 by Sire Records. I don’t cry when I hear her name or fiend for her next record. Sorry, please don ‘t take my gay card away. I am still obsessed with man parts , don’t sweat it ( wink wink)
Here is a remarkable cover of Madonna’s “Borderline” by Duffy
No Pants! Subway Ride 2011 : San Francisco bay area BART/Muni
San Francisco BART · Sunday, January 9, 2011, 12pm-6:00pm
Have you been stuck in a tunnel on Muni underground, mind racing , “.. gotta get to work , got to get work etc… ” I suggest a game that will make the time go by like 1,2,3. Wearing sunglasses will help , you disguise your glances. Try to imagine what underwear people have on ( you will most likely try and pick someone you’de want to see naked in the first place). Ok Ok, this seems a little sleazy and pervy ( nothing wrong with that). Here’s a better idea that requires less mind work.
You most definitely are going to want to break out your underroos or your favorite undies that you are not afraid to show off to the world. Skid marks not allowed unless they happen along the road ( shit happens).On January 9th you wont need to use imagination at all. The subway will be FILLED with folks wearing close to nothing riding inbound and out , yes beleive it, No Pants Subway Ride 2011. You will be crawling through man flesh searching for your transfer, sitting eye level with massive bulges galore . The best part no extra cost, Ha! There is something perverse yet innocent ( undies left on) about this event with a fun for all pillow fight type atmosphere.

Its almost that time again, this time we are planning earlier. PLEASE RSVP and invite, facebook won’t let me message people who RSVP’ed last year so we need you help to get the word out again. I’ve received a various amount of emails and messages about what the plan is exactly. I am not the only planner of this event so I’m waiting on word from the others to trickle down to you guys. Here are the facts of what we will have to do. REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION: 1) Willing to take pants off on subway (we try to aim on not giving away that it is an event and tell people who ask simply…”oh I knew I forgot something,” when asked about no pants) The past years we have met at various stations and crammed onto one car to converge at embarcadero, but because of overcrowding we got off on powell street. Most likely this year we will exit on powell street again. But this year depending on the amount of people attending we might need to stagger our arrival there. I will post the given time you must arrive at the powell street station using BART or MUNI. If you live in the east bay take the incoming train from the east bay, but most of us will be taking the outgoing from daly city/colma/balboa park etc. Please check back during this week to see an updated timetable. Last year we also had a “pants flag” that we used to lead the crowd around where we planned to go.

Is there really something to that song sung by that lady, ”
The whole heterosexual engagement ring offering and accepting event has me thinking. Is it a sign of “ownership”. It reminds me of growing up on a farm actually. All the birds that my dad “owned”, when born into bird slavery got bands around their legs , so if to fly off, when found the ownership was for certain. Livestock would get these bands stapled through their young tender ears. Some cattle get signed with the most extreme ownership, Branded ( I tell you there’s noting like being near a branding and smelling cooked meat.)You ARE what you eat. There is so much deception around wedding rings as well. Anything you can slip off and hide in your pocket to change your social status from unavailable to available is WAY to easy for those with a wandering eye.
With gays about to be able to get married Nation wide it makes me think about wedding traditions. Will gays wear the ring on the left hand as well? Or will they exchange cock-rings? ( geeez , just asking) Google has a Ba-zillion websites selling “gay commitment bands” and other gay specific wedding items. Time to throw some money into ” gay wedding” type stocks. People are profiting from the wide spread acceptance of homo’s marrying.
Im still not sure exactly where I stand. OF COURSE , I think anyone who wants to get married in the traditional sense should be allowed, but Im talking about me personally. Why do people want to be part of this ceremony of THE CHURCH, the same church that hates you? The only obviously positive point of being married through the state are the legal rewards ( funny to be considered a reward for getting the same rights as our hetero brothers and sisters). I’ve seen a close friends ashes, after he passed being fought over by his partner-LTR and his family ( who were absent his whole life until money of his were to be dispensed). Being legally married would make this much clearer and us gays would have the law on our side. What I’m curious to see play out are gay divorces. ( in my mind I see a gay version of a Dynasty pool fight play out).
I as of today, when the time is right, would like to have a commitment ceremony recognized by the state with same legal rights as marriage. I WANT TO LOCK IN MY FINAL ANSWER!
