Attention gay soccer fans: you guys are asked to think twice about getting down and dirty in twelve years. The president of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, announced yesterday that gay fans “should refrain from sexual activities” if they happen to go to the World Cup in 2022, which will be held in the Arabic country of Qatar.

Earlier this week we showed you a video of Mike Blasenstein and Mike Iacovone protesting the removal of David Wojnarowicz’s artwork “A Fire In My Belly” at the National Portrait Gallery. Now, the two DC residents are looking to get a permit to create an exhibit outside of the NPG to showcase the censored video.

The piece was part of a larger exhibit titled “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.”

Getting dirty outside and touching farm animals probably isn’t the first thing America thinks when they think “gay,” but you’d probably be surprised at how many guys who like guys are playing Old MacDonald nowadays.

We hope you’ve been stowing away that razor and keeping that handsome moustache of yours intact this month! The Movember Foundation called for the men of the world to grow out the hair between the nose and lip to bring awareness to men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

The five men involved with the alleged murder at a local DC bar and music venue have been absolved of charges, at least for now. The assault and murder charges were dropped on the five DC9 employees, including co-owner Bill Spieler, Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice based on lack of evidence, mainly the cause of death.
