Linky Love: John Hughes

I met John Hughes, author of Johnny Is A Man and the fab 80's music blog, Lost In the 80's, back in the late 90's when we starting chatting online about music after Johnny had been a winning contestant on the short-lived Rock-N-Roll Jeopardy. These days he's also writing for PopDose. Check out his stuff, I dig his latest piece on Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Frankie Say: Go Johnny!

A few quick links for your perusal....

- USA Today publishes a guide to where 14 of the presidential candidates stand on gay rights.

- Ted Kennedy to introduce ENDA in the Senate in 2008. It will be the same gay-only version of the bill that passed in the House last year.

- Bilerico Project guest blogger Jim Pickett of AIDS Foundation Chicago posts about research into anti-HIV rectal microbicides: The Future Of Anal Sex.

- Obama Girl gloats. "I don't know what a caucus is, but winning it is pretty cool!"

- And for comic relief, via Jimbo comes this clip of a hot rugger losing his shorts, but playing on.

Wednesday Linky Love

• My former roommate in SF is a lifer with Sun Microsystem and he hipped me to Kelly Moyer, an openly transgender employee now blogging on their site. Drop by and welcome Kelly to the 'sphere. And props to Sun!
• Farmboy Father Tony riffs on a lifetime of hat collecting.
