WES GOODMAN
omething totally unprecedented has happened and I am not sure how to break this news to you, my loyal readers. In fact, I doubt that you will even believe what I am about to tell you, it is so rare and unheard of. It’s basically the unicorn of conservative politics, so prepare to be shocked: A lawmaker who campaigned on antiLGBTQ “family values” nonsense got caught being, like, super gay. Wes Goodman, a state representative from Ohio who is married to a lady, has resigned after getting caught doing sex-stuff with a man in his office. Who could have seen this coming? I mean, besides all the gay men in the Cleveland area on Craigslist where Goodman was constantly trolling for sex. And the many men, gay and straight, Goodman sent dick pics to. And the young conservative men he offered to “mentor,” which was code for dirty Snapchat sessions and/or non-consensual hotel room fondling. All this and more is laid out in a thoroughly researched and stomach turning piece in the Independent Journal Review. Oh, and by the way, Goodman’s sexual assault of a young man in a hotel room? Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, knew all about it and promised the kid’s parents he’d do something. He didn’t. And, yes, if you haven’t caught on by now, none of this is really surprising at all. Goodman joins a long list of Christian conservatives who actively sought to harm LGBTQ people, usually by painting them as perverts void of humanity and passing legislation to curtail their civil rights. On his campaign website, which has since been taken down, Goodman claimed that, “Healthy, vibrant, thriving, values-driven families are the source of Ohio’s proud history and the key to Ohio’s future greatness. The ideals of a loving father and mother, a committed natural marriage, and a caring community are well worth pursuing and protecting.” If you run all of that through Google’s Bullshit to English Translator, you get one word: “Hypocrisy.” But don’t worry. Goodman is sorry that he couldn’t advance the anti-LGBTQ agenda he
BY D’ANNE WITKOWSKI
promised the Ohioans who voted for him. “We all bring our own struggles and our own trials into public life,” Goodman said in the statement after resigning. “That has been true for me, and I sincerely regret that my actions and choices have kept me from serving my constituents and our state in a way that reflects the best ideals of public service. For those whom I have let down, I’m sorry. As I move onto the next chapter of my life, I sincerely ask for privacy for myself, my family, and my friends.” It’s cute to ask for privacy, and to ask “sincerely,” no less, in a situation like this. Because, “Nah.” Goodman doesn’t deserve privacy. He’s not a private citizen struggling with his sexuality or even a public figure whose sexuality is irrelevant to his work. He used his position of power to hurt LGBTQ people and diminish their humanity and rights. God bless whoever tried to out Goodman’s lying and cheating ass months ago by sending Facebook Messenger screen shots to Ohio House leadership as evidence that Goodman “was gay and not faithful to his wife,” according to the Columbus Dispatch. In one of the messages Goodman brags that he gets plenty of blow jobs from “a couple of bi frat brothers.” Goodman denied it all at the time, saying the screenshots were fake. Turns out, Goodman was the fake. As is the GOP’s claim to be the party of family values.

Ellen Page
Ellen Page enrolls in "The Umbrella Academy" for Netflix And she's playing The White Violin. Are you already confused? Thought it was about umbrellas? Here's where you catch up: "The Umbrella Academy" is an offbeat comic book series from Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba, and Netflix is giving it the TV platform it deserves. Already cast is Ellen Page, one of the media's most lovable young lesbians, in the role of Vanya, A.K.A 00.07 The White Violin. Now, Vanya – or 00.07, or The White Violin, pick your favorite name – is the adopted daughter of “The Moncacle” and she has extremely strong superpowers that have been repressed. But then she learns how to use them and we find out she can destroy anything and everything with one solitary note from her white violin. There are other characters too, not yet cast, and they have equally fascinating stories, and you'll have to wait until 2018 for Netflix to put this one into 100 | Hotspots.LGBT
Bee Gees your streaming queue. But for now you know that there's at least one thing to look forward to in the coming year.
Nights on Broadway with the Bee Gees Kids, once upon a time there was a British singing group, all brothers, last name Gibb, and they had the biggest selling album of the 1970s, a soundtrack album for a
movie about a disco dancer. Ask your parents for more information because this isn't a column about pop culture history. And then tell your parents – who almost certainly also loved the ABBA jukebox musical "Mamma Mia!" – that there's a Broadway show coming that will be built entirely around the songs and story of the Bee Gees. No title yet, no stars yet, no release date yet,
but there is a deal in motion with surviving brother Barry and the estates of Robin, Maurice, and presumably that of non-Bee Gee Gibb hitmaker Andy. All we can imagine is how arduous the audition process is going to be, since the vocal styling of this harmonious, high-pitched crew was unique in pop music. And really, most importantly, who's going to play Lulu? Just go ask your parents again.
That Kimberly Peirce will direct "This is Jane" Laura Kaplan's nonfiction book, "The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service", told the story of a Chicago woman
Victoria
Spice Girls who founded and administered a safe, yet illegal, abortion service. The service was known as “Jane,” and the extended group of women involved taught themselves how to perform abortions. Through a private feminist network, they provided the procedure – in addition to health education and counseling – for as many as 11,000 women from the years 1968 to 1973 when Roe v. Wade made abortion legal. Now Amazon will produce the film version of this story with director Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") at the helm. No cast or start date yet, but this one ought to attract some major acting names for its female ensemble, considering that the topic is always timely in politics run by terrible men.
Spice Girls finally get Victoria to say yes
Kimberly Pierce
Spice Girls reunion! 2018! Multiple projects! And it's about time. They haven't really reunited since the Olympics, and that all comes down to Posh, really. You
might see Mel B on television more often, but the real post-Spice Girls boss around these parts is full-time mom, full-time fashion CEO Victoria Beckham. Her very high-end clothing line is respected in the fashion world and she's got the least need to be back on the line singing “Spice Up Your Life” for middle-aged ladies and gay men. So last year's ill-timed, three-outof-five-ain't-bad minireunion (which also failed to include Mel C) went bellyup when Geri became pregnant. The fans were sad. But since friendship never ends, they're coming back for more with a 2018 TV special, a compilation album (with some new music, please, why not?), and some as-yetundisclosed projects. They may have missed timing it to the 20th anniversary of “Wannabe,” but 2018 "is" the two-decade birthday of the cinematic classic "Spice World". And yes, it matters. Every zig-a-zig-ahhh matters.

NEED WOOD
By Woody Miller
HEY, NICE FEET!
H
ey Woody! Some dude approached a friend with the opening line, “Hey, you’ve got cute feet” and handed him a card inviting him to a private foot fetish party. I’m not feeling left out, just curious: What makes for cute feet? Any guidance would be much appreciated. — Not your sole admirer
y
Dear Not:
Hey Woody! I’ve been seeing this guy for three years but he’s not out. He hangs out with straight friends and every two or three weeks he pops in with a bag of cocaine and we f--k. The guy thinks we’re boyfriends; I think we’re f--k buddies. He even said if he ever caught me with another guy, we’re through. I lost it at that point and yelled, “WE’VE NEVER DATED AND WE NEVER WILL BECAUSE ALL I WANT IS YOUR COCK!” He said, “F--k you, pass the cocaine,” and we f--ked again. So here’s my question: How do you tell someone he’s a f--k buddy when he insists he’s a boyfriend? — Confused
y
What makes a good-looking foot? I don’t know. What makes a good-looking man? A friend pointed to a “gorgeous” guy, once. I thought he was kidding. The guy had a face that would make a train take a dirt road. There’s no accounting for taste in men, so why should there be for feet? As far as the foot fetish parties, use your imagination. They’re not comparing hands. They’re doing everything you can do to feet: Toe sucking, sole sucking, foot tickling, boot licking, shoe worship, and of course, foot massage. Oh, and let us not forget the ultimate in a foot fetish party: sock sniffing. Now *there’s* an activity I don’t get nearly enough of. There’s nothing I’d rather do than pull up a chair and inhale a soiled sock like a line of coke. Sorry, but if I got stuck at a party like that I’d be eyeing the exits and thinking, “Feets don’t fail me now.” Private foot parties often have “theme” nights. In New York, for instance, they have annual events like “The Annual Foot Ball,” proving that it’s not the sweaty stinky feet that make you nauseous, it’s the incessant puns. “Sole Train: Feet of Flava,” is another. Stand back, I’m getting hard.
Sometimes the foot freaks hold contests like Biggest Feet, Stinkiest Socks and Best Foot Strip Tease. We can only hope the guys at these parties aren’t marketing experts. Imagine their first product: A peanut butter and toe jam sandwich.
Dear Confused:
Actually, I was f--king a guy like that once. He once spent 20 minutes staring at a carton of juice because it said, “concentrate.” My advice is to keep f--king him till he goes away. Don’t have any conversations about your “relationship.” If he brings it up just do what I do: push yourself further into his mouth. Works every time. If he really wanted to date you he’d ask you out. When he does, you’ll know your f--king days are numbered. Even idiots end up asking themselves why the guys they’re f--king should buy the pig when the milk is free.
