Day Drunk Gays is a new web series that spoofs the gay stereotype of boys who brunch.

With six episodes released so far, I’m looking forward to more Day Drunk Gays.

“I am informing you that all external events, ribbon cuttings, workshops, launches, and/or program close-outs now require USAID/Uganda pre-approval,” Reed wrote.
