In The News

Everything always seems to happen when I'm out of town. I just found out that The Advocate magazine's annual People of the Year issue is out and I've been selected as one of the 10 people of the year. I checked the website but didn't see my name, so I can't confirm it.

Meanwhile, Logo has just launched a new television show called The Advocate Newsmagazine. It's billed as a "one-hour original magazine-style special" that features topical stories that include hip hop and its history of homophobia and Sheryl Swoopes and her coming out experience. They interviewed me for the show several months ago, but it's coming on Sunday at 10 p.m. on Logo.

And finally, I've been told that the "The Year In Queer" end-of-the-year wrapup on Logo begins airing soon. It's another show I taped awhile ago but didn't know when it would air. If I had known all this was going on, I would have set my DVR to tape while I'm out of the country.
