queerguru weekly barometer

queerguru-icons2-b4-e1462540580560Each week queerguru takes a brief look at some of the big things that have made us smile and get a real ‘high five’ aka the ice cream emoji, and at the other end of the scale, those things that have really pissed us off and get a very big thumbs downs aka the famous ‘poop’ emoji.

This week’s icecream-e1461449826930include :

Pope Francis for finally getting something right at last by firing the nasty homophobic Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez, the Archbishop of Santo Domingo who verbally attacked the United States’ ambassador to the Dominican Republic, openly gay and married James “Wally” Brewster.  He referred to the Ambassador as  “the little faggot”, and also said that he should “focus on housework, since he’s the wife to a man.” 

If seeing Alexander Skarsgård in a skimpy Tarzan loincloth (!) then maybe you would prefer Men.com’s porn parody version. WARNING this trailer is TSFW (Too Safe For Work) and very tame.

NY City Council for honoring the late great street style photographer Bill Cunningham by renaming the intersection at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street “Bill Cunningham Corner”  This was his favorite spot where he shot so many of his iconic photos.

Massachusetts for becoming the first state this year to enact a law that would allow transgender people to use restrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their gender identities.

The Orlando Gay Chorus took to the stage  of Denver’s Ellie Caulkins Opera House this week in front of a 2500 strong crowd, to perform a very emotional ‘You’ll Never Walk  Alone’ to honor the victims of the Pulse club massacre.

Poor George Takei who is clearly upset that Sulu has finally come out as gay in Star Trek Beyond .…. (The Closet?).  Get over it George.

The heavy handed Police and undercover Park Rangers at Riis Beach in the Queens,  New York City who jumped on Krys Fox a 39 year old photographer just because his towel slipped when he was changing.

Christian Mingle finally agreed to allow gay men to use their dating app but only after they were sued,  BUT what sort of a gay man would want to hand over their hard-earned money to such a bunch of right-wing homophobes on the first place in the mere hope of getting laid by a holier-than-thou Christian? 

Janaya Khan in a statement that attempted to explain why Black Lives Matter militantly hijacked Toronto Pride this year with an outrageously and ridiculous list of demands that kept referring to us as the LGBTQ2SIAA Community. WTF!

The Mongolian School that makes young girls spend at least 4 hours a day learning to be contortionists.  Cruel, but we are probably jealous as we wish we could now be that flexible in our old age.
