when you ask! Congratulations on your year!

JUSTIN
CIDER: You've been an excellent representative of our community as
Prince and as Mr Gay Regina 27.5. You should be very proud!

old folks still know how to kick the kids asses when they need it!

the heavy lifting!
MITCHELL: All
things for a reason, and as long as you're happy, I'm happy to welcome

forward to cards, TV, pintrest food and just getting to hang out with
my best friend!
NIKKI: If I was a gay man and you were a gay man....seriously, you are one in a million and I'm so lucky to have you in my life!
ROB: This
is your official notice that being in the north end is no excuse
and I hope we continue to get to spend time together!
JASON&WHITNEY:
Just 15 more years and drag shows will be a family
event! In the meantime, we've got brunches, rides to work,
and suppers to enjoy while we adore and mock your kid in equal
measure!
JOELLE: Now that you've gotten your feet wet, you'll have to come for one of our big shows sometime!
YADA/GERRARD: You know how this all works, but we're almost 20 years later and the best part is you are still finding new and fun ways to wow audiences! Brilliant!
MS. CANDY: Absolute applause for stepping up! Since you came out you've been unfailingly respectful and polite, helped where you could, and asked for help when you need it I hope you continue to be a part of our community for a long time to come!
GIRTH BROOKS: As it turns out, despite my rants, it's a good thing you took this up! We know what you have in you--we've seen it in parades, on stage, at Access 7; you're amazing!
GLCR: I can only hope that the
need
for community that fostered the inception of this wonderful
organization will
continue to motivate LGBTQ* people to keep us going for another 45
years.
BREAD
BASKET SISTERS: You bring a real joy to our community and are a
tremendous volunteer force that we are very lucky to have!
KOS: I love bragging about our Kings
in other cities; you are all talented, clever and all so damned young! Please
don’t let anyone take your positive energy away—you are all wonderful!
QUEEN CITY PRIDE: I love you and hate
you by turn. Jesse Ireland, you are Pride and I can’t imagine any of the
success of this organization without you! Please be kind to your elders,
support the people who don’t have any money and never give up—we’re a lucky
bunch in the Queen City but the struggle is still happening.
RSAR- such a vital part of Regina's GLBT community. Without you, this
community would have closed up shop back in ‘94, and now here we are, 26 years
of good works under our belt.
HUGS: Mick, Len, Eggsy, Harry,
Dean, Cas, Harvey, Mike, Steve, Danny, Neal, Peter, Sherlock, John, Ianto,
Jack, Blair, Jim, Giles, Spike, Lex, Clark, Fox, Walter....
KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you
make me feel special; Online friends and fans, you are my support system and I
couldn't do any of it without you--I really am that internet success story; all
out of town guests who make Regina more beautiful by virtue of their presence
and home town folks who do the same; God Bless you all....
UPDATE: Congratulations Mr Gay Regina 28:
There's more and more after that, and I'd probably go on and on if I wasn't so old and tired. And besides, all that online porn won't read itself!
Oh, and don't forget:
In my world, the coffee is strong as death,
black as hell and sweet as love (and always made by Ianto Jones). Fox Mulder is
always just as close as my dvdplayer, Slow Motion Walter is always more than just
a blues song, and the Gunmen always visit on Friday. Bunnies and bears
always frolic in my living room, Blair Sandburg is always the bottom, there is
always a next Sunday, everything's Benedict and nothing hurts, and finally, the
Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.
That's enough to be going on with, don't
you think?
