LETTER FROM THE EDITOR CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

Gay Vegas Magazine and GayVegas.com is 100% gay owned and operated in Nevada and always has been. Henderson, NV is where my sister and I were raised attending James Gibson Elementary, Greenspun Middle School, Green Valley High School & CCSN. Nevada is where I call home and where my partner and I intend on signing our marriage license.

After being together for four amazing years, we are ready to get married and start raising a family. We hope that very soon Nevada will be ready to allow this.

It is a very exciting time to be LGBT in the United States. So many great things are taking place in our country and big changes are coming for Nevada. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is hearing cases for lawsuits filed in Nevada, Idaho, and Hawaii. The ban on gay marriage in Nevada could be lifted by the time this October issue is printed. Should the court rule Nevada’s ban is un­constitutional and no stays are granted, Clark County Clerk Diana Alba said her office will be ready to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples within 21 days.

A HADER YOU CAN

LOVE

SNL ALUMNUS TALKS TASTY MEN, STEFON AND HIS ‘LICENSE TO BE TOTALLY FABULOUS’ Saturday night is a lot less spicy without Stefon, the fabulous “Weekend Update” club correspondent that turned actor Bill Hader into a comic star. But fear not. While Stefon has retired from Saturday Night Live to a “haunted diaper” in Chelsea, as Hader tells me in our recent chat, the funny-man flexes his impressive dramatic chops in The Skeleton Twins, playing Kristen Wiig’s twin, Milo, a struggling actor.

Aaaand, he’s gay.

During our talk, Hader discussed his “license to be totally fabulous” as Milo, his regrettable transgender-centric SNL sketch, and the savory highlights of his A-list makeout roster.

Your lip-syncing to Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” in The Skeleton 8 Gay Vegas Magazine

Twins would make everyone on RuPaul’s Drag Race so proud.

(Laughs) You have to get me on that show!

That would just be the best.

How much drag did you and Kristen observe while training for the famed lipsyncing sequence?

I mean, we had to learn that song, and we had a lot of fun doing that, but we didn’t have a lot of time. There wasn’t a lot of time in the day to do it. It was definitely a quick “we gotta go; we have a lot more to shoot today” moment, so it’s cool it all came out so well.

So, what you’re saying is you already knew how to sissy that walk.

(Laughs) I knew... I mean, I’ve gone out with enough of my gay friends to know.

The finger in the ear during the money note – was that Mariah Carey-inspired?

No, no. It was just me messing around. So much of that stuff was me just trying to make Kristen laugh and just knowing her sense of humor and what will make her laugh. I thought that was something that would.

You’re a natural in that lady garb.

Oh, thank you.

Before The Skeleton Twins, how experienced were you with crossdressing?

Well, I had done some of it at Saturday Night Live, but not in my life. Not a lot of cross dressing in my life.

Not yet.

Not yet. Maybe I will now. I remember we did a senior sketch in high school where we made fun of a group of moms called the “Brown Bag Lunch.” They were these moms who put a lot of money into our high school, who would have these brown bag lunch things where they’d sit around and gossip about school – just a bunch of rich moms. We did a sketch at our homecoming and I played the main mom. We just recently watched that – my dad found it – and I’m essentially doing Stefon. I mean, it’s pretty crazy. I’m in high school! It’s pretty insane.

But, I look goooood! My wife’s like, “Wow, you look great. You’re an attractive woman.”

There’s a scene in the film where you go to a gay bar only to find yourself there on “dyke night”. What’s been your real-life gay bar experience?

You know, I haven’t hung out that much in gay bars, but I don’t go to bars in general. I remember going to one with writers from SNL. There was a group of us and we went to a gay bar, because two of our writers were gay. It was fine. I had a good time. But I don’t really go out. I’m reeeeally boring. (Laughs) You’re such a dad.

I’m a total dad. I’m really boring. I stay at home and I read. Because I did Stefon people assume that I go to all these clubs and I get invited to a lot of those things, but nah.

And yet you live this exciting life onscreen.

I mean, you’ve maybe made out with more men than I have… and, Bill, I’m actually gay.

(Laughs) I have my wife run up to me a lot of times and be like, “Don’t brush your teeth.

Let me kiss you. This is the closest I’ll get to kissing James Franco,” or whoever it is I just made out with. I’ve made out with Paul Rudd so many times on SNL it’s insane!

You made out with Ty Burrell during the shoot for The Skeleton Twins.

Yeah, but it didn’t make the cut. I’m gonna tell you right now, that was actually pretty hot. It was a hot scene.

GayVegas.com

PRIDE CONNECTIONS What does Paul Rudd taste like?

He tastes like chicken, and James Franco tastes like cinnamon.

You even got to fondle Paul’s man-aries.

Yeah, I touched his nipples.

Bill, this doesn’t sound like a very boring life to me.

Yeah, I know. It’s weird because we’ll be doing it and our wives are just watching the show in the green room like, “Hahaha. OK, guys.”

Given your history of make-out sessions with men: If you could play spin the bottle with any group of guys, who would you invite to that party?

Paul, James, Ty...

But they’ve already been to the party.

Yeah, they’re already part of the party, but I just know they’re all good kissers. I guess those guys, and then to mix it up, Danny McBride because I feel like I’d get the shit kicked out of me.

SNL has been criticized for its portrayal of the gay community and some of its homoerotic cheap shots. Did you ever turn down a skit or were you ever hesitant to do a sketch because it might offend the gay community? As a comedian, how conscious are you of avoiding stereotypes whether on SNL or in The Skeleton Twins?

In Skeleton Twins I honestly didn’t think about 10 Gay Vegas Magazine

it. The thing I liked about the script was that Milo being gay wasn’t his problem.

That wasn’t the big issue in his life. He had a lot of other issues, and he just happens to be gay, which I thought was really great.

A journalist from another gay magazine said something that I liked – that I didn’t try to iron out his gayness. He’s flamboyant, but he’s drawn from people I know, people I’m friends with, people Craig (Johnson, the director) knows. I mean, that “dyke night” scene was me basically just mimicking Craig. (Laughs) When Craig went (to me), “You know, you sit down” – and I could tell it was something that had probably happened to him before – “and you look around and it’s fucking “dyke night”! You kind of go, ‘Where’s the boys at?’” So that is me impersonating Craig.

As far as SNL is concerned, Stefon was the same thing. His joke isn’t that he’s gay – the joke is that he’s just really bad at his life. And that he’s on a lot of drugs.

I don’t know if I ever said no to anything, but I know the transgender community got really mad at a sketch I was in about estrogen – Estro-Maxxx, about a pill – which made total sense. But it happens, and the show takes responsibility for it.

We have a ton of gay people who work on the show.

In retrospect, would you have passed on that skit had you known it would offend the transgender community?

Yeah. I mean, I think the writers wouldn’t

have written it. I don’t think anyone wrote it to hurt anybody’s feelings, but once that happened it was like, “Oh yeah. Point taken. Sorry.”

Actors who take LGBT roles often say you can’t really play gay, but you’re effortless as Milo. What’s the trick? As a straight man, how do you transcend sexuality for a role?

I didn’t think about it that way, to be completely honest. You just kind of do it and you find a

part of you that’s this Venn diagram, where you overlay with the character. So, my relationship with Ty Burrell’s character: I just thought of high school romance, that’s what I thought of – a girl I dated in high school and how that made me feel. And it’s also just kind of hanging out with Ty. He’s a really funny, nice guy. Things like that – actual feelings of like, “What a great guy, he’s so nice” – play into it. You have to be very open.

He’s giving you something and you have to give back, and you just play off each other. But

I trusted Craig. I was just like, “I’m gonna try a bunch of stuff,” and Craig would tell me if it was too much. Usually his note was, “You can go a little further with it. You don’t have to be so subtle.”

And if a gay man is giving you permission to go gayer, you know you can.

Yeah, exactly. He’s like, “I think you can

be a little bitchy to (Kristen) now. Be a little flippant. I think he would be sassy with Kristen right here.” I remember when I was in drag and he was like, “You have complete license to be totally fabulous,” because (I was playing him) the opposite.

I would try to sometimes play him in a way that was too subtle, and Craig was like, “Don’t worry about people saying it’s gonna be stereotypical – these are my friends.”

PRIDE CONNECTIONS Because of your role as Stefon on SNL, how often are you pitched gay roles?

Actually, not that much, to be honest. Let me think. This might be the only one that I’ve been sent. It’s interesting. During the Q&A, after the first screening of the movie at Sundance, someone asked us about (the similarities between) Stefon and Milo and I went, “Oh, yeah!” Craig, who is gay, took the question because I didn’t know how to answer it. I went, “Uhhh.” The only thing those two guys have in common is that they’re gay, which is a good way of answering it.

Would Stefon and Milo be friends?

Craig says no, and I think he has a better idea than I do. Craig was like, “Oh my god, no.” I think Stefon would freak Milo out.

I think Stefon would freak a lot of people out.

Yeah, you would be missing for a couple of weeks. If you went out with him, you’d have friends, parents, people pleading on the news, “Where’s our son?”

Where is Stefon these days?

He’s on the corner of 23rd and 9th some place. Somewhere in Chelsea hanging out inside a haunted diaper.

JENNIFER HUDSON Finds Her Voice

SINGER ON BEING AN ELUSIVE CHANTEUSE, DRAWING STRENGTH FROM GAYS AND HER DRAG QUEEN ATTITUDE Who is Jennifer Hudson? It’s a question she knows you’ve asked – and one she’s ready to answer with JHUD, the American Idol -turned-Dreamgirls sensation’s third studio album.

During our candid interview, the Oscarwinning powerhouse went back to her roots – the gay clubs – and opened up about the drag queens who inspired her fierce new outlook (“I’m 32 years old – I don’t think I need your permission”). Hudson, who also answered to those lesbian rumors and chimed in on gay marriage, isn’t kidding when she says, “I’mma be me, I’mma do me.”

18 Gay Vegas Magazine

When you’re doing Pride events like the ones you did earlier this summer, does that mean you gay it up?

Yes, definitely! It’s just so fun, first of all. I really enjoy myself. It’s something I really wanted to do, and yeah, you can just give it.

It’s that type of audience, so you shouldn’t hold back. And I try not to, you know?

You’re able to let your hair down – or what hair you have left, anyway.

(Laughs) Exactly! You said it best.

You performed “And I Am Telling You I’m

Not Going” from Dreamgirls for the gays in Chicago. What is it about that song that still gets such a reaction out of the LGBT community?

The song has its own spirit. It has an effect on everyone, but definitely on the gay community.

I think they relate to it in a different type of way – in a special way. A lot of gay men I’ve met, they’re like, “In my heart, I am Effie.” I relate to Effie, and I think that’s part of the connection.

It’s a real situation that we all go through.

What do you think your career would be like without the gay community?

I don’t know if I would have one, to be honest.

That’s why I recently did a couple of gay clubs, and I wanted to do more because that’s where I started. I was just literally looking at old pictures a few minutes ago, and I saw a picture of me performing in a gay club and a picture of being dressed. Drag queens used to dress me, and then I would go and perform.

That’s where I started, so there’s definitely a connection there. I wanted to make sure that I reconnected.

Having performed in gay clubs when you were a teenager, you connected with the LGBT community at a very young age.

What do you attribute to that relationship?

What I’ve always admired about the gay community is the independence and the confidence. Just that attitude. I’m so inspired by that, and I feel like, for me, that is my connection. I’ve never understood, gosh, what does the gay community see in me? You

know what I mean? Because again, I grew up around a lot of that and that’s the world that embraced me first, so that I’ve never fully gathered.

When it comes to strength, do you see your relationship with the gay community as a reciprocal exchange?

Yeah, I definitely draw strength from them.

I love a big personality, and just the selfassurance and the sexiness in it – actually, I think that’s where I got a lot of it from!

(Laughs) What did you learn on how to work a crowd from hanging out with so many drag queens?

Owning it. My kings and queens, they own stuff and give 100 percent. You’re gonna be a queen? Be a queen. If you’re gonna perform, perform. Whatever you’re doing, make sure you’re serving 100 percent.

How did you reconcile performing for gay people with your Baptist beliefs?

Well, I grew up around a lot of people who probably had issues with it, but I never did.

People are people. Mind your business, that’s how I’ve always felt. Whatever makes you happy. If you’re happy, I’m happy, so it never really mattered to me. I never looked at it as a... you know what I mean?

As a conflict?

It was never a factor. It doesn’t matter to me either way.

FEATURE STORY When I saw you perform “Same Love” with Macklemore and Mary Lambert during the 2013 MTV VMAs, I remember thinking, “Is Jennifer trying to tell us something? Is she coming out as lesbian?”

If someone ever questions or thinks that, I don’t care what you think. It shouldn’t matter. And I did get that! People were like, “Is Jennifer trying to tell us something?”

Hey, I wasn’t, but if you wanna think that, it’s all right with me. When I got the call (to do that performance), I was like, “Oh my god, I definitely wanna do this. A powerful statement is being made and I wanna be a part of that.”

Does your support of the gay community extend to gay marriage?

Yeah. Ain’t much else to say about that, because what’s the big deal?

You’ve had your share of trials and tribulations. When was a time in your life that you found yourself leaning on a gay best friend?

My whole life! Every day! My best friend (Walter Williams) is my assistant and we’ve been friends since sixth grade. He’s the one I bought the house for this past Christmas, and he’s my life partner. We go through everything together. We’re each other’s backbone every day, and still to this day.

You’re showing off a sexy new sound on 20 Gay Vegas Magazine

“Dangerous,” a single off JHUD. You’re also looking sexier than ever. Do you feel sexier than ever?

Mmm, no – I’ve always felt sexy! (Laughs) It’s just the space I’m in right now, and this is what this album represents. I’m just in my moment and I attribute that to my 30s more than anything. I feel settled, and it’s not an issue of what you think, what she thinks, who all says this – I don’t give a damn! The truth is, I’m grown. Before it was like, “Oh, is this OK? Is this all right? What does such and such think?” I don’t care! (Laughs) I’m more settled, more sure. I’m 32 years old – I don’t think I need your permission. Keep it moving.

Spoken like a true drag queen.

And that’s what I’m talkin’ about! That’s exactly what I love. It’s a gift to have that type of attitude. As a black woman, we get that same thing: rejection. People “yay” and “nay” you and things like that, and I’m still walking through life, honey. I’mma be me, I’mma do me, and I’m not concerned about how you feel about it.

Some of this album takes me back to ’70s gay club music. How much did the gay community influence JHUD? That’s a part of me, so it wasn’t necessarily a target in making the album – it’s just me being me, and that’s what I love about this album. I’ve sat back, I’ve listened and I’ve learned – now, can I have a voice? Can I express myself? All of that is a part of me

that is coming out through the music, so yes, you will hear songs that are old-school influenced, disco influenced, gay-anthem influenced.

Throughout my career I’ve noticed people don’t have a sense of who I am as a person.

They know me from being on Idol or being a spokesperson or emcee, or from film – but who is the girl? What’s her story? Through this album, I want people to get a sense of me and what that is. You’re picking up on that. “Oh, I feel a gay influence.” Yes, you do, honey, because that’s where I come from.

As someone whose voice really takes me back to the golden era of female vocalists, how do you imagine your career would be different had you been on the radio when a real voice – a real diva voice – meant more than it does now?

I feel like I’m stuck in the wrong time. I grew up on the Whitneys, the Pattis, the Arethas – the big voices. Today’s divas are just a completely different thing. Though they’re great as well, I still feel like I’m stuck between eras. I love The Pointer Sisters, and I also love Destiny’s Child. That’s why this album is so eclectic. I’m not a person who believes in limits. Nobody can tell me what my potential is other than myself. So (for people) to say, “You only get to do this” – no, you don’t get to tell me that.

22 Gay Vegas Magazine

Speaking of Whitney Houston, before it was announced that Yaya DaCosta nabbed the role of Whitney for Lifetime’s upcoming biopic, there were rumors of you possibly playing the singer.

Oh, no, no, no. Not Lifetime, no. I mean, I heard my name being tossed around for Whitney, which would obviously be an honor, but as far as that one in particular, that was never the case.

Could you see yourself playing Whitney at some point?

If it was done in the right way, for sure. I’m a fan, and I, like everyone else, want to see her remembered in the way she should be remembered. Whitney – I mean, come on, she made the hugest impact on our industry.

Everybody loved Whitney. I want her to get her just, to be done the right way. She gave her whole life to this industry, so give her that.

What would be a suitable way to tribute Whitney?

I wanna see one tribute. I felt the same way with Michael (Jackson). There are all these amazing legends who gave their entire lives to their career, and it wasn’t light stuff – I mean, they changed the game. They changed the industry and how we look at music and performing. So much more should be done for them in their memory and to honor their work.

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

JAMES W. HEALEY LOCAL SPOTLIGHT James W. Healey was elected Assemblyman District 35 in 2012 and is up for re-election with early voting beginning Saturday October 18th 2014 and election day being on Tuesday November 4th 2014.

James, who is an openly gay politician, has been a champion and leader in the community for almost two decades, focusing on helping those in need as well as achieving equal rights for all Nevadans and Americans. James has been a part of developing one of Southern Nevada’s largest community volunteer networks, which helps with multiple events each month benefiting organizations such as St. Jude’s and the Las Vegas Mission.

He has also participated in an effort that has assisted more than 500 immigrants to achieve citizenship through several immigration workshops.

James was very proud to be honored as the “2012 MGM Resorts International Employee Volunteer of the Year.” He was humbled to be recognized by his co-workers, peers and executives of the 24 Gay Vegas Magazine

company for his work within the community. In 2009, James was honored with the “President of the United States Volunteer Service Award.” through the Volunteer Center of Southern Nevada.

James has served as a past President and board member of the Southern Nevada Association of Pride, Inc. and on the National Board of Governors / Steering Committee Co-Chair for the Las Vegas chapter of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). In his eight years of being a part of HRC, he has been honored as “Volunteer of the Year” and “Co-Chair of the Year” for his tireless work as an advocate for equal rights for all Americans, including in the workplace, military and housing. He is also a member of

Freedom Nevada’s Advisory Committee, a grassroots campaign supporting same sex marriage in Nevada

When James is not either working or volunteering, he loves to spend time traveling with his friends and family.

Healey currently works as the Executive Director of Housekeeping at the New York – New York Hotel and Casino. He has more than twenty years of operational management experience in the hotel and casino industry.

His current area of responsibility includes Housekeeping, Environmental Services (Public Area), Uniform Control and Property Sustainability. His team exists of approximately 430 employees and he is responsible for a $25 million annual budget.

When did you know you wanted to get into politics?

It all started a little over 10 years ago when I went to Washington DC to lobby on the “Hill” with HRC. We met with Senator Reid and by the end of the meeting, I was shocked how much he listened and how much my voice mattered. I left that meeting and said to myself that I want to be a part of this system. I want to be able to influence change and felt that I could play a part in improving the quality of lives for others. Since that time, I have spent time, especially through my work with HRC, learning the process and preparing to run for office.

James joined the New York New York team in February 2001 as Director of Hotel Operations.

In April of 2004, he transitioned into the role of Director of Guest Services where he was responsible for the Public Area Department.

Prior to joining the New York – New York family, he was part of the team that opened the MGM Grand, where he spent over seven years in a variety of positions in Hotel Operations, Human Resources and the Theme Park. Prior to moving to Las Vegas, James started his career in the hospitality industry with the Marriott and then moved to the Sheraton Corporation.

James attended two years at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, majoring in Hotel Administration. In 1993, he relocated to Las Vegas where he continued his education at the Community College of Southern Nevada and at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas.

Is it difficult being an openly gay politician?

I have been fortunate to work for a company that has allowed me to really embrace who I am and be proud of what I have to contribute. Being gay doesn’t define who I am, that is done by my character, personality and principals. So it hasn’t been hard for me to be open. Watching my mentor and friend Senator David Parks who was the only openly gay political leader for well over a decade, inspired me to not allow him to stand alone any longer.

He has been openly out and serving, even through some of the toughest times. Not GayVegas.com

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

only has he stood strong on his beliefs, but he has been such an advocate and pioneer for the LGBT movement. That was inspiration for me to stand with him and the others and continue to fight for equality.

Do you think there could ever be an LGBT President of the United States?

The beauty of the United States of America is that anybody can achieve and/or be anything.

President Obama is a perfect example of not allowing “society” dictate what you can do in this life. No matter what your feelings are towards his politics, the fact that he is our first African American President, shows that the people of the USA can open their minds and accept a person for who they are and what they can contribute. Also, who’s to say we haven’t had an LGBT President in the past?

You have worked for the MGM Mirage for a long time. What are the most impressive changes you have you seen in the casino 26 Gay Vegas Magazine

industry over the SCAN TO years?

VIEW VIDEO I have been in the gaming and hospitality field for well over two decades.

It is always exciting to see how the industry is constantly reinventing itself. It is exciting to be in an industry that provides a different challenge and opportunity every day. I think the biggest change I have seen in our industry is how the initial emphasis went from gaming to more of a Food & Beverage, Hotel, shopping, clubs and spa experience. When I started in Las Vegas, us hotel folk were the forgotten ones, now we are the leaders at the table and are taken seriously.

You had a very close relationship with your grandmother. What made your relationship with her so special?

My Nana and I had a wonderful relationship

that I will cherish forever. She was originally from Australia and even after living in the USA for over 50 years, still had a very strong Aussie accent. That was something that was very consistent with who she was, very strong, loyal, dependable and committed person who never gave up on things, no matter how tough the situation may have been at the time.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time with Nana.

She was a master chef in the kitchen and we loved spending the weekends preparing amazing meals for all the dinner parties she hosted. She taught me how to cook, serve her guests properly, manners at the table and how to be disciplined about doing chores. I give her credit for shaping the man I am today.

She was very old school proper, but when she found out I was gay, she was totally accepting and the first thing she asked was if I had someone special in my life. She was always asking and told me that I was special and deserved to have someone special. She was my biggest fan and unfortunately she passed the week before the start of my first session

in the Assembly. I was sad that she wasn’t able to physically see me sworn in that day, but I know her spirit was right there with me in the chamber.

What’s your prediction for marriage equality in Nevada?

I am confident that Nevada is ready to accept Marriage Equality. Not only is it the right thing to do, to allow all loving couples equal access to marriage, but it is also so important in strengthening and growing the Nevada Economy. Marriage Equality will give so many service industry employees that have been fully trained the opportunity to return to work and serve all the new couples coming to Nevada to tie the knot.

The increased revenues that will result will allow more money to go to things in our state that are a priority, like education and healthcare.

What advice do you have for our future generation of LGBT individuals who dream of getting into politics?

Be true to who you are and never allow anyone to say that you can’t do or be something, just because you are LGBT. LGBT does not define who you are as a person, it is just a part of who you are. This should not be what you run on or be your platform. Make your platform about issues or things you are passionate about. It is my experience that voters elect people who are confident, passionate and true to themselves and their convictions.

GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS Compiled and edited by Rob Schlegel

Prior to each election cycle, a group of progressive and civic-minded individuals with intense interest in Southern Nevada politics, gather to endorse candidates for various offices up for election. The Night Beat, Nevada Impact and now Gay Vegas Magazine are publishing those results. If you are reading the endorsements and want to see the committee’s full comments or view updates on races where endorsements weren’t made in time for this publication, please visit NevadaImpact.com This year, for the General Election, early voting begins Oct. 18 and runs through Oct. 31 with regular voting taking place on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The deadline to register without having to appear in person is Sunday, Oct. 5. In office and online registration can be done from Oct. 5-14 at the

Clark County Election Department office or on the Secretary of State’s website https://nvsos.gov/ sosvoterservices/Registration/step1.aspx These endorsements are published to help inform the LGBT community about candidates, and to have an impact on the outcome of the election. Our panel has the best interest of the LGBT community at heart, but your priorities can best be voiced and voted by doing your own research.

Please understand that in some races, there are dual endorsements because candidates from more than one party are equally endorsed. Also, in a few races, there are no endorsements because neither candidate is qualified. Be very careful to never vote for an IAP (Independent American Party) candidate.

While the name sounds great, let us assure you that the IAP does not have you in their best interest.

They are extremely anti-gay rights.

Britney Spears gets freaky with Mackenzie Claude

PHOTO BY: Justin Teixeira

SCAN TO VIEW VIDEO

On Friday September 5th, Mackenize “Mack” Claude, Derrick Barry and Nick San Pedro went to see the Britney Spears show. Part of the Britney Spears - Piece of Me show routine involves pulling an audience member from the crowd during her performance of the song “Freakshow.” It just so happens that Britney Spears pulled male model Mackenzie Claude who is part of a trinogamous relationship with world renowned celebrity artist Nick San Pedro and Britney Spears celebrity female impersonator Derrick Barry. What are the odds? In

a YouTube video Mackenzie Claude can be seen hamming it up dressed in leather, on a leash, walking on all fours, panting like a dog, as the GayVegas.com

THE CHATTER BOX “slave for you” pop princess leashes him along the Planet Hollywood stage. It was quite the spectacle as the audiences jaws dropped to the floor amazed by the level of stage presence and comfort displayed by Mackenzie. Maybe,

its Mackenzie’s successful career as a male model that has molded him into such a natural in the spotlight, or maybe he just really feels comfortable in fetish wear. *wink*

Tell Facebook you don’t agree with the “real name” policy.

Facebook is expecting to hear from you.

Sister Roma & members of the LGBT community meeting at Facebook. PHOTO VIA: Tom Temprano (pictured far right)

FACEBOOK WILL DELETE YOU / CAN DRAG QUEENS SAVE US? Facebook has enraged many of its users. The social media giant began disabling profiles that did not appear to have real names.

Facebook’s “real name” policy states that users must have the name as it appears on official identification. The policy outraged the LGBT community, including Sister Roma, a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence who claims Facebook forced her to change her personal profile to Michael Williams, a name she does not identify with. A protest was planned at the Facebook headquarters but later cancelled when the social media giant had agreed to meet with members of the LGBT community (pictured above).

Although the real name policy is affecting all users on Facebook worldwide, the LGBT community has immobilized to protect the identity rights for everyone; including abused women, bullied teens, celebrities avoiding stalkers, people with restraining

orders against their crazy exes or stalkers, individuals subjected to gay hate crimes, entertainers, transgendered individuals who have changed their names as part of their social transition, mental health professionals who are looking for anonymity from their clients, people who identify as gay and have not come out of the closet and even your dogs Facebook profile is in danger.

Real name users have also been targeted, Chase Nahooikaikakeolamauloaokalani Silva, according to the birth certificate he posted on his account, was forced to change his name with a message stating “your account has been temporarily suspended because it looks like you’re not using your real name.” Chase is gay and his cover photo is of a drag queen performer. Is Facebook targeting the gay community? A protest has begun. #mynameis GayVegas.com
