Greetings peeps, I’m baaaack! From a much deserved vacation! What a blast I had going to Cinco de Mayo parties and Easter Basket contests. I need a vacation from my vacation! Sunday, May 11th is Mothers Day, the very day I came out of the closet, it went something like this. I had finally decided that I could no longer hide my sexuality from my mother. Sooo, I went over to her house and found her cooking at the stove. I sat down at the kitchen table, let out a big sigh and said, Mom, I have something to tell you, I’m gay! My mother had no reply or gave no response, and just as I was about to repeat it to make sure that she heard me, she turned away from the pot she was stirring and said calmly, your gay? Doesn’t that mean you put other men’s penises in your mouth and lick their bum holes? I nervously said um, yeah, Mom, that’s right. My mother went back to stirring the pot, and then suddenly whirled around, wacked me on the head with her spoon and said, don’t you EVER complain about my cooking again! You gotta love the moms! Having said that lets check out who’s doing what with whose mother in Metra land! ...ILLINOIS Chicago: BERLIN (773-348-4975), Saturday, May 10th its” Drag Matinee” hosted by Trannika!
