the lighter side
How to look your best when the world ends
It has been said in a number of Hollywood movies that 2012 will be our swan song. If this is the case - in retaining the holiday spirit and erring on the side of the glass is half full – we have put together a list of head-to-toe pre-apocalyptic fashion tips and resolutions to make sure that if we go out, at least it will be in good style.
The present you get to unwrap all year long
It’s quite possibly the most important piece of clothing you put on, the present you get to unwrap all year long, and this Valentine's season your best offence in making that special someone more than just a friend. The pièce de résistance I speak of is none other than the manty. Boxers, briefs, thongs, jockstraps, and the newest addition to the realm of underwear; the hybrid, have seared a lasting label-popping reminder in the minds of gays everywhere - that granny panties just won't do.

Amber Dawn
The Vancouver-based author and community activist was nominated by the Lambda Literary Awards for Sub Rosa, her novel about magical prostitutes working in an otherworldly realm. (It also made the Globe and Mail’s best of 2010 list.) The author’s hobnob with New York’s queer literati should inspire further tales of dark, erotic magic realism.

ROB GODDARD
He was this year’s Mr. Gay Canada representative at the Mr. Gay World competition held in Manila, Philippines, on March 9. Do we really need to explain why he’s hot?
MICHELLE MACLEOD
After he came home with a broken hand, Macleod found out that her son, age 14, had been bullied at his school and taunted as “gay” since September. She’s suing the school board and bringing charges. That’s how you do Mama Grizzly Bear. Forget any big-haired presidential wannabes.

ROB WELLS
After 10 years of pushing the Alberta Health Ministry to stop defining homosexuality as a mental disorder, Wells launched a human rights complaint on Dec. 15. A week later, the province changed its health code. Next up; remove the definition of Restless Leg Syndrome as Satanic possession.
OECTA
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association donated $1,000 to support anti-bullying initiatives. President James Ryan told the Toronto Sun “Certainly the Catholic Church is against bullying.” Did Ratzinger get that memo?
