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.

 

WE ALWAYS KNEW ABOUT BARRY MANILOW, BUT NOW MARTIN SHEEN AND SAM WATERSTON COME OUT AS GAY!

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.

DREAM CONCERT IN INDIANA: AMERICAN IDOL’S CLAY AIKEN AND DAVID ARCHULETA

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles) – Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), a.k.a. Anti-Gay Legislation, has many unintended consequences. But a music concert?

That’s right, openly-gay Clay Aiken and openly-Mormon David Archuleta have signed a contract to stage a joint concert to be held over the Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis.

Many of course will remember the duo as both runners-up in the reality show ‘American Idol.’  They are now recording artists and have their respective legions of fans and followers, on and off the music circle.

Aiken is just now just recovering from his unsuccessful attempt to represent North Carolina in the U.S. Congress. Archuleta is back on track after his two-year missionary stint with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile.

Aiken is against Indiana’s RFRA while Archuleta supports it, so that makes this dream concert the biggest deal yet in Indiana since Michael Jackson.

See Archuleta’s controversial tweets here.

Music fans are not going to boycott the concert because of one or the other singer. Both camps have vowed to support their respective idols. And that makes this concert a win-win situation. Even Indiana Governor Mike Pence is attending.

As of midnight last night, the concert, to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which has a seating capacity of more than a quarter million, has sold out!

The first 10,000 fans to arrive on concert night will be treated to free pizza from Indianapolis’ Memories Pizza.
