Jack Mackenroth Is Really, Really Gay

In fact, he may be running for Mayor of Gaytown judging by this YouTube video. - via Queerty.

As you no doubt either know by now or don't care, Jack was forced to withdraw from Project Rungay in last night's episode due to a recurring staph infection. People are talking now about how courageous and brave he is for being upfront about his HIV status. Fine, great. But honey, as far as I'm concerned Jack is the bravest queen I know for appearing on national television (OK Bravo) looking like Goldie Hawn in the First Wives Club! But he did take the time during several post-show interviews to explain what this (MRSA) staph infection is, how it's difficult but not impossible to treat, and how it's not really related to HIV. It can be a very dangerous infection, and left untreated people can and do die from it. It's also extremely painful. HIV+ people do, in fact, contract this infection, but it seems that you are either kind of susceptible to it or not. I speak from experience, of course, as one of my former roommates, or They Who Will Not Be Named, suffered from a recurring MRSA infection several years ago. I visited him in the hospital, I was there when he dressed the wound and I even lived with him for part of one bout. The whole time, I was of course also HIV+ and never caught it.

Happily, Jack reports that he is fully recovered and feeling fine. In fact, according to published reports he has pointed his Chelsea man-breasts to the wind and hooked up for several dates with Top Chef token-gay Dale. Bitches.
