The Cajun Boy · 06/14/09 11:15PM

Two gay men, one of them dressed as a woman, sort of duped the city into granting a marriage license and performing an official ceremony for them, despite the fact that they both have male first names. [New York Post]

Levi's Grows Ever More Gay

If you don't follow the denim industry closely you could be forgiven for thinking that world has gone crazy. Levi's, the Americanest jeans you can possibly buy without a flag sewn on them somewhere, is publicly endorsing gay marriage. The gays have literally wrapped themselves around George W. Bush's butt!

Rudy Gears Up for 2010, Starts Off by Contradicting Himself

Rudy Giuliani has been waging war on gay marriage in recent days, part of a plan to firm up support with the Republican base in advance of a possible run for governor. This means he will probably not be attending the wedding of Howard Koeppel and Mark Hsaio—the couple that graciously provided Rudy with a place to crash folowing his split with Donna Hanover in 2001— who report today that they plan to tie the knot in Connecticut on May 2. Although the ex-mayor once promised the couple that he'd marry them himself if gay marriage ever became legal in New York, he now claims marriage "should remain between a man and woman." Or, in Rudy's case, a man and three different women, including his second cousin once removed. [NYP]

Mayor Bloomberg got a tad annoyed at this morning's press conference announcing plans to introduce a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. It seems a reporter's tape recorder (or phone) went off just as Bloomberg was about to begin speaking, and he wasn't too happy about the interruption.

New York Plays Catch-Up With Vermont

Gov. David Paterson will announce plans to introduce legislation to legalize same-sex marriage at a press conference on Thursday morning, reports the Times. It's probably not a good idea to go out and buy a fabulous new tux just yet, though. Stiff opposition in Albany is expected and "it could take months—even longer—before the bill makes its way through the appropriate committees and onto the floor of the Senate and the Assembly." [NYT]
