fr_defenestratoToday Harvey Forbes Fierstein turns 55 years old. Fêtes-toi bien, cheri!
Also, it was 30 years ago today that the drear departed Jerry Falwell told the homophobic folk rallying in Miami, Florida, a few days before a referendum on a local ordinance to outlaw bias against gays, that "...so-called gay folks would just as soon kill you as look at you." With YOU, Jerry, only with you, and even then it wasn't "just as soon"; it was much, much sooner. (The anti-bias ordinance was voted into oblivion. Hate from Florida: It isn't just for breakfast anymore. Fuck Anita Bryant.)
Also also, 30 years ago today, I was 12 years old, and although I have no idea when precisely I had my first orgasm, it's a pretty safe bet is was the summer when I was 12... so today's as good a day as any to celebrate that 30th anniversary. As I recall, it was a dry orgasm, and it was achieved sans erection or even self-manipulation, from the combined thrill of exhibitionism and being lightly rained on, as I sat on the sill of my second story bedroom window with my legs hanging outside and my genitalia in plain view, being sporadically illuminated in the headlights of cars passing our house in Folsom, N.J.
In an nifty coincidence, one of the very first men to provide masturbatory fodder (once I did start with the self-manipulation) was Parker Stevenson, then on TV as Frank Hardy of The Hardy Boys. On looking him up to fill out this entry, I just discovered on imdb.com that Mr. Stevenson turned 55 years old just this past Monday, 2 days ahead of Mr. Fierstein.
Ok, so it got a little smutty at the end there.
