SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Last week, The Adobo Chronicles reported that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a proposal to ban wild and exotic animals from circuses, parades, film and television.

Considered the most liberal and radical in the country, the SF Supes have approved uber measures like banning plastic bags in groceries and supermarkets and outlawing kids’ toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals.

On Friday, the Board unanimously approved to ban the use of wire clothes hangers in the city and county, a measure that San Francisco’s gay community has been clamoring for in the last couple of decades.

Supervisor Scott Wiener said that the “use of wire hangers is contrary to best fashion and grooming practices, what with all those ugly protruding ‘bumps’ on shirt and coat shoulders  resulting from wire hanging.”

In approving the measure, the Board also noted that the ban will also help reduce the number of car thefts, considering that wire hangers are a handy tool for thieves to pick car door locks.

The Human Rights Commision, the largest LGBT advocacy group in the country, immediately praised the new law and said it hopes that other cities and counties throughout the country will consider a similar proposal.

MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – In a recent television interview with anchor Jorge Ramos Ávalos, Florida Republican Senator and declared presidential candidate Marco Rubio answered a series of questions about same-sex marriage.

Ávalos is a Mexican-American journalist and author based in Miami.  He anchors the Univision news television program, Noticiero Univision.

During the interview, Rubio was asked whether he would attend a gay wedding if invited by someone close to  him.  The Christian senator responded that despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, he would attend a gay wedding if invited by someone he loves.

Well, just days after the interview, Rubio got the surprise of his Christian life.  Dozens of wedding invitations arrived in his mailbox at his Florida residence, all of which were from his relatives and very close friends who were gay or lesbian.  He admitted that he had no clue whatsoever that some of his beloved relatives and friends were gay. A few of the invitations came from his own campaign staff.

But as a respectable politician that stays true to his word, Rubio told The Adobo Chronicles that he would be attending each and every gay wedding he was invited to.

The senator may have gained some points there. Que bueno!

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Many were surprised at the recent announcement that Barry Manilow married his longtime manager Garry Kief  in a private ceremony at the singer’s Palm Springs, California home last year. But then again, many more were not.

But the bigger and more shocking news in Hollywood is that actors Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson have come out gay and are planning to marry each other.

Actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have both confirmed the news.

It turns out, Fonda and Tomlin were referring to a Netflix show about two wives, Grace and Frankie, who bond after their husbands (Sheen and Waterston) leave the women for each other.

So, stop the rumor mill.
