NEW JERSEY: Gay Republican Don Guardian Elected Mayor Of Atlantic Ciy

Openly gay Republican Don Guardian has been elected mayor of Atlantic City.

“It’s very humbling,” said Guardian, who admitted he worried down to the last few districts as the numbers came in for the tight race. “Sometimes David beats Goliath,” the mayor-elect told supporters who crowded into the Tun Tavern to hear him claim victory. He joked about writing three speeches, including a concession speech and one if the race were “too close to call.” Those who gathered cheered that he didn't need to give either one of those. Before the speech, he admitted he was unsure victory would come. Guardian, who is openly gay, joked during his speech about his partner, Louis Fatato, bringing him back to normal Wednesday by having him cook and clean.

Atlantic City's incumbent mayor Lorenzo Langford had several public battles with Chris Christie over the last few years.

Langford, a former casino dealer, previously ran the city from 2002 to 2005 and won a special election in 2008 and a full term in 2009. Langford was mayor when both Tropical Storm Irene and Superstorm Sandy swamped his city. Right after Sandy hit, Christie, with whom Langford has clashed repeatedly, blasted him for not fully evacuating the city. Langford rejected the criticism and defended his handling of the storm and its aftermath.

Lady Gaga Collapses On Stage, Atlantic City Marriage Benefit Postponed

Lady Gaga's marriage equality benefit in Atlantic City tomorrow night has been postponed due to illness. Via press release from LGBT activist group The Power:

Due to exhaustion and dehydration, Lady Gaga collapsed and passed out before her show last night in West Lafayette, IN. Her doctor has urged her to take a few days off to rest. We wish her rest and a full recovery. Her Atlantic City concert and the Hands Up for Marriage Equality Benefit will both be rescheduled. We have been assured by representatives of Lady Gaga that this benefit will be rescheduled soon. As soon as we have a firm date we will let you all know. Lady Gaga has been one of the hardest working people in entertainment for the past two plus years. During this time her support and advocacy for LGBT people has been unwavering. We wish Lady Gaga all the best. We will keep you informed and let you know the new date very soon. Toward full equality, Jeff Hall, Affiliate Director, The Power Online, Inc.

I'll post the information about the replacement show as soon we get it. Next week's four night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall do not appear to be affected. Which is a good thing for Beard Seeking Boy.
