Tim Bagley recently appeared on Radio Andy’s “The Julia Cunningham Show” and revealed that he was never given the opportunity to audition for “Saturday Night Live” due to his sexuality. He also opened up about the struggles he faced growing up lgbtq+ in a community and household that labeled his culture a mental illness.
“I was out as a gay male and people knew that they would not hire openly gay people,” Tim said about the “Saturday Night Live” audition process years ago.
“It was Lorne Michaels and Bernie Brillstein had thoughtful of a thing where they did not hire homosexual people, so I never got to audition,” the “Somebody Somewhere” continued. “All my friends did, and I was always kind of a standout at The Groundlings, but I was out, and so that’s the problem with being out help then was there were no guardrails. I mean, if somebody didn’t desire to have you on their display, they just couldn’t, I don’t comprehend. They weren’t trying to seek out, you know, LGBTQ people back then.”
Tim also reflected on trying to “not be gay” earl
Sirius Turns On Gay Radio Channel
Fledgling satellite radio source Sirius last Monday debuted what appears to be the first full-time radio channel serving gay and lesbian listeners.
Dubbed OutQ, the channel is virtually all news, talk and communication and so far carries no commercials.
That could convert, but it might hold awhile, not so much because of the subject matter but because Sirius has few subscribers of any sort at this point. At the conclude of the fourth quarter, it reported 30,, although Larry Rebich, vice president of programming and market development, says the organization will announce new figures "that will easily be twice as large as that" in early May.
"We've been very gratified," he added, "all of our partners have been so supportive" of OutQ, including car manufacturers DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, which offer Sirius for some models.
"We're geared up to present very current and controversial programming," Rebich said, including a nighttime adore, sex and relationship program.

In a city famous for its happy hour culture, summer can be an even better day to take advantage of post-work drink and food deals. Interns are in town, summer Fridays are in full swing, and patios and rooftops are aplenty. Here are a few prime, non-comprehensive spots for an afternoon deal with besties, colleagues, and new connections.
Alfreda. Dupont’s Alfreda, a tribute to the chef’s grandmother, offers relaxed pizza and traditional Italian eats. The happy hour runs Monday-Friday p.m., featuring $8 spritzes and BOGO pizzas. Few do spritzes like the Italians, and Alfreda leans in on five kinds plus one N/A spritz; our go-to is the rose and mezcal with grapefruit or the locally made Don Ciccio limoncello spritz with basil.

The Dupont Circle hotel restaurant imagines cocktails from France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Spritzes highlight limoncello and vinho verde. For those that knock Lyle’s
