An App for Your Gay Agenda!
October 11, 2009 by James Hipps · 2 Comments
We all get buys these days and most of us know the importance of staying organized. Whether or not we do may be another issue, but let’s face it, with today’s world it pays to stay on “top” of your to do’s, unless you prefer to be underneath.
So to help you keep up with your gay agenda (no not your plans to destroy marriage, recruit children and do lots of cardio) is a new app for you from Cerebral Itch called “My Gay Agenda” The app is a first-class personal calendar application and hilarious take on what the well-organized “Velvet Mafia” operative would carry.
My Gay Agenda is a powerful personal calendar app complete with ubiquitous event features for all-day events and events that span multiple days. MGA also has a stylish and robust Notes feature and “Today In Gay” – a daily historical synopsis of key “historical events”.
You also may occasionally come across handwritten notes unveiling nefarious plans to take over the world (or make it a bit more fabulous).
A portion of the proceeds from My Gay Agenda will go to Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that provides daily meals for people homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses.
Want to Know? There’s An App for That!

I ran across this rather interesting post on PCMag.com:
Locating unidentified homosexual men on Facebook? There’s an app for that. It was created by two students at MIT, who discovered that gay men tend to have more male Facebook friends of their own orientation.
The students, Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree, ran the program on 10 men who were gay, but didn’t reveal that information on their profiles. The software predicted that all ten were gay, according to the London Telegraph.
In total the researchers ran their software on 947 people who did not disclose their sexual orientation on their profiles, but it failed to accurately identify lesbians or bisexuals of either gender.
The software apparent does not work for bisexual people or lesbians. No word on when it will be available for the iPhone.
Now, this is fairly interesting from many perspectives.
One, regardless of how you look at it, it’s still purely speculation…or should I say “guilt” by association. I put guilt in quotes, because as you know, LGBT people are not guilty of anything…other than perhaps apathy and being totally fabulous…but seriously, this is kind of really scary. Just want I want is some right wing nut job who hates the gays looking at one of my straight friend’s profile and targeting them with some hate-crime because they believe they are gay because they have gay friends on Facebook! This is starting to remind me of something you’d read about…like the Salem witch trials…or worse.
Secondly, is this what it’s all come down to? Does someone’s sexual orientation define who they are? I realize for some who are haters it may, but really, why does anyone really care?
So, for all those inquiring minds out there…if you really feel you need to know if someone is gay, why don’t you simply ask them…but be careful…because if you do, there may be an app for that too!
