The r/gaymer debacle: Legally, who’s in the clear?

Gaymer.org’s owner, Chris Vizzini, sent a cease and desist letter to the subreddit, /r/gaymers last night stating that the subreddit must not use the name “gaymer.” This does not come as a surprise because their trademark is on the verge of being incontestable. The law states that within 5 years...

Proposition 8 Ruled Unconstitutional

Score one for equality! A panel of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional in a decision 2 to 1. This does not, however, mean that gays and lesbians can begin wedding preparations just yet. Proposition 8 will still be in effect until the Supreme Court hands down the...

Conservative Activist Speaks Out Against SW:TOR’s Same-Sex Romances

I think we’ve all come to expect a certain level of insanity when it comes to activist groups with the word “family” in them, and the Family Research Council is no different. Tony Perkins, president of the FRC, recently spoke out against Bioware’s planned inclusion of same-sex romance in their Star Wars MMO. Here’s a...

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1-4 Review

Holy Shit. Can I say that in a comic review? Who cares, I did. And this comic deserves it. Firstly: I must admit that I am not Marvel’s biggest fan. That’s not to say I hate them but I haven’t read Marvel in years and it’s mostly because I’d rather read about my favorite DC...

Ask Dr. Gay Nerd: What Should I Do About My Closeted Girlfriend?

Dear Dr. Gay Nerd, I’ve been dating my girlfriend for almost a year and four months now. At the very beginning it was kind of awkward for us because not only had we never dated any girls, we’d also never anyone. She was the first girl I’d ever liked, and she still claims I’m the only...

Misfits: The Best Show You've Never Seen

Misfits: The Best Show You’ve Never Seen

Why should you be watching Misfits? Well, because it’s good. Great, even. Just off the top of my head I can think of two ways to describe this British drama-comedy series: 1) It’s like the (original) groundbreaking British teen drama Skins but with superpowers; and/or 2) It’s like Heroes but, you know, actually good. There...

Diesel Wants “Heroes To Rise” And So Do I!

. . . did you all get a good look at this?! True, the commercial would have been better if we had seen some models in those oh-so-smexy undies but I’m hoping we’ll be able to see some of our own Gay-Nerds in them soon enough on the forums! (Girls included; what’s sexier than a...
