Rainbow Fansons

I have a theory, perhaps a dream, that these two songs are about a transsexual sex worker.

"Get Up and Go" has some fairly obvious connotations.  "Walk on the Wild Side" by Lou Reed is a well-known song about a transwoman sex worker, and there can be no doubt that Hanson were aware of this when they wrote GUAG.   I like to think the chorus is supposed to be a bit facetious - if a "girl like you" is a transsexual woman, and a "guy like me" is Taylor, a pretty openly effeminate man, then it all fits just perfectly.  The rest of the song seems pretty blatantly about a sex worker to me, but I know many fans would heartily disagree with me.  Some people may have a hard time letting go of a "pure" Christian goody image of Hanson, who are as complex as anyone else.

"Hey" is self-evidently about a sex worker, in my opinion, also.  Certainly the same one.  Red pumps and cadillac blues?  Beverly Heights?  Yesterday's prize?  Come on.  I don't really care enough to try to persuade anyone further, but if you listen to the lyrics, it all makes sense, more sense than any other explanation.  What do you think?  Put aside judgement about extramarital affairs for a minute.  Maybe it's hypothetical and didn't really happen.  Ive been thinking about this for years, and am bored enough to try to spice up this community of my fellow queers :D

Are you guys still out there?

*tumble weed*

I wanted to post just to see who is still around! I miss you guys. I hardly ever post here anymore. I read my flist everyday, I just never participate!

So how are you all?

Heyyyyyy so I'm sorry to be annoying but i have a fan-ta-bulous idea for an icon/siggy/wallpaper graphic...

here's what i need:

Any and all pictures of Taylor exposing his NECK.

I'm looking for a shot where he's using on hand to push back his hair and his head is tilted back and his neck is perhaps slightly sweaty...


but ANY pictures of Taylor's exposed neck would be apreciated.

Thank you so much!!!

P.S. I am multi posting this entry!!!  

I was recommended by a fantabulous girlfriend of mine to this community, as not only a really receptive community, but one who would probably be the most open to a hanson story I am writing in which Taylor gets a sex change.

Yea. You heard that right.

The story is called 'Lady Madonna' and it is located here in my memories: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/m…

Sorry for the hella long link, I'm not too good at hyperlinking, I suppose.

Still in process, and I also have other stories, all in my memories.

My name is Li, I'm bisexual although currently I'm leaning more towards lesbian than regular bisexualness. I'm 25 and I'm from the southwest Ohio area [near Cincinnati.] Feel free to say hi on aim: watchmebleed1440 if you want :) I'm always open to new friends.

Hmm... I've been pondering this for a while and I know for sure that I'm bisexual and it's not a phase... like many of you out there! However do you guys find yourselves on a sliding scale of 'gayness'? For example for a period of time you are only attracted to men, or mostly... and then a month later you can't get enough of girls?

See right now I'm going through a totally gay stage, lol. I just keep finding myself attracted to girls, when I think about my next relationship (whenever that will be! I think about it being with a woman. There is not a problem with this, however I find it difficult voicing this because I'm worried people will be like "you total lesbian". People who are close to me and know that I am bisexual might be confused... I don't understand why, but I don't want the "Oh it was just a phase, and now you are a lesbian" comments. I think there are others who will either not have known about my sexuality (i never felt the need to come out as it is just who I am, not something that needs to be stated) or will think it was just a phase and will be shocked at me for being attracted to women.

It's quite pondersome! Any advice? I don't even know what I'm asking really, if you can find a question in that ramble then please answer it!
Thanks muchly.

x-posted to a few bi/gay communities.

well, the site is finally up and running and along with me, are some other fantastic females. go check it out! and pass it on!

Thought I should probably do the nice thing and introduce myself ;)

I go by Aeryn, and I'm a 21-year-old bi female from Australia...


I've known since I was 13 that I'm bi, but it took me until last month to admit it to myself. No offence to any Christians who frequent this community, but I blame seven years of attendance at a private Christian school for that. Have been a Hanson fan for nine years in May, and have seen them in concert and met them once. Taylor is and always will be my favourite. Let's just say that androgynous guys tend to turn me on ;)


I'm a writer, and write Hanson, Harry Potter and Hanson/Harry Potter crossover fanfics to keep myself sane. ;) I'm about embark on writing for POTC (Pirates Of The Caribbean), and once I've got my head around the canon and have digested all the episodes, I'm going to start writing Supernatural fic. :)

Anyway, that's me. Look forward to getting to know you all. :D

I am an ally of the LGBT community and have volunteered at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles for the past three years. This past Saturday, the 17th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

After the actual show, there was a dinner/banquet and I just thought you all would be interested to know that the Hanson: Underneath Acoustic Live DVD was in 2000+ gift bags that were given out to celebrities, donors, corporate sponsors, etc. I really don't know who was contacted in regards to donating UAL for the gift bags, whether it was Hanson themselves or not, but I think it is nice publicity. There are quite a few people out there who now have access to UAL who may have not even known Hanson was still around! Some of the celebrities in attendance (I didn't see them ALL with gift bags in their hands, but I did see some!) included: Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, Kevin Zegers, Jennifer Tilly, The Arquette Sisters, the cast of Will and Grace, Melissa Etheridge, Tim Gunn, the cast of TransGeneration, Teri Hatcher, Nicolette Sheridan, and quite a few others.

Some event photos:
