Here at the Roundup, we enjoy feeding the world a steady diet of “gays-good-homophobes-bad” along with the occasional nudity and some general silliness. Simple, no? But some days are weirder than others:
Today’s weirdest story is the ballad of Dwan Prince, who was gaybashed in Brooklyn in 2005 but is now thanking his attacker for literally beating him straight. “Steve you changed me!” Prince writes in his letter to prison, “So hopefully when you get out we can hang out…you can find me a female I can love and can love me.” Gang, I think we’ve just found Liza Minnelli‘s next husband.

Didn’t see that coming. What will the Dutch children think!
