Fun, Feasting & Frivolity

English rugger Ben Cohen is throwing a party... And we're all invited!

"Moving away from the more traditional rugby testimonial theme, the Ben Cohen Testimonial Committee is holding a ground breaking event at The Dorchester in London,” his publicist Jill Tipping said. “BENediction is an exclusive evening of fun, feasting and frivolity aimed primarily at including his legions of fans in the gay community in the testimonial celebrations.” Guests are promised a “whole host of treats and surprises making this event a real one off and not to be missed. Ben Cohen fans need to make sure that they reserve their places quickly as they are expected to snapped up fast,”

For a long while now, Ben has welcomed his gay fans with open arms. Good on him, I say. Stephen Gerrard, who plays football (soccer) for Liverpool, is another straight English sports star who isn't afraid to hit the local gay club after a match and dance the night away. It's how it should be. Gay guys, straight guys getting along, sharing a laugh, and not being afraid of each other.

Many of our male friends are straight. They're comfortable in their own skin and know we represent no threat to them or their masculinity. I think we all recognize that we have a lot in common - as guys - regardless of what we get up to in the bedroom (or the, ahem, den).

Argh... and wouldn't you know it! With our upcoming trip to Europe, we could almost - ALMOST - make this event in London... La prochaine fois...
