Each 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 
include :
Lily Tomlin for being named the 53rd recipient of the SAG Life Achievement Award for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment.
Stephen Sondheim who may be 86 years old now BUT he’s still composing Musicals and has announced that the latest one, written with playwright David Ives, will be an adaptation of two films by Spanish surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel. It will be performed by NY’s Public Theater in 2017.
Trans model Aydian Dowling who responded to the haters over the pictures of him looking so hot with the advice ‘STOP letting people make you feel SHAME because you are confident in yourself enough to be shirtless.’
Caitlyn Jenner actually makes ‘the things we like column’ finally as the very good news is that her Reality TV series I Am Cait has been cancelled due to lack of interest. Yipeee. Does this mean she will now at last STFU?
Michael Douglas may have had the great misfortune to marry Catherine Zeta-Jones one the world’s most annoying untalented actresses, but before she came along he fathered Cameron his very hot looking son who has just got out of jail after some ‘misunderstanding’ over drugs to show the world his tattoos.
Katy Perry for replacing her ex husband Russell Brand with new BF Orlando Bloom and making at least 50% of the world’s gay men very envious yesterday.
Apple for FINALLY adding a Rainbow flag emoji.
Senator John McCain for being the ONLY one with any balls left in the Republican Party for very publicly and passionately denouncing Trump for his sheer nastiness in disparaging Khizr and Ghazala Khan
This weeks 
include:
Lifetime Television have announced they are going to do a remake of the gay cult classic Beaches! O.M.G. Even though we love Idina Menzel who is slated to play C.C. Bloom, she is no Bette Midler and we know it’s going to be a horrible hack job as you simply cannot beat perfection
Rabid Republican and Hollywood Grumpy Old Man Clint Eastwood says ‘kiss-ass generation’ needs to ‘get over’ Trump’s racism and bigoted comments. Really? What we actually need to do is to get over seeing Mr Eastwood’s tired old cliched movies.
Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh said that pictures of Melania Trump from a 1996 photoshoot for French men’s magazine ‘Max’, in which the potential future First Lady is naked and straddled by Scandinavian model Emma Eriksson, will help Trump win the LGBT vote! Duh! The only people salivating over these soft pics are dirty old straight men like Limbaugh.
The Archbishop of Dublin has announced that he will no longer allow trainee priests to study at St Patricks in Myanooth Ireland’s leading main Catholic college due to the fact that ‘there is a homosexual, or gay culture, and that students have been using an app called Grindr.’ Instead he will be sending his seminarians to the Irish College in Rome. Because he thinks that Italian Catholic Priests are straight? Really?
Peter Thiel, the openly gay Founder of PayPal, gave his passionate support for Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention so now it’s time for us to follow his lead and put our money where out mouth is …… and cancel all our PayPal accounts.
ASOS for selling Bluebella ‘Unwrap Me’ Body Bow which must rate as the tackiest piece of ‘clothing’ we have seen for a long time. We’re just surprised there is not a Trump label sewn in the back.
