This morning, the entire gay community of Washington sent us a link to Metro Weekly’s photo gallery of local teh coalition of teh geyz, Axis of Fun, at its (in)famous Janky Christmas Sweater Festival of Lights festivus last weekend. Adorable. But eff that gallery, we made our own, culled from submissions from the last few days. Holy McHaney, these guys have a lot of enemies! I thought gay people were all nice to each other and shit. Not.

Oh, we certainly did not forget. Local coalition of gays Axis of Fun, which provided us with lots of material not long ago, held its 2nd Annual Janky Christmas Sweater Festival of Lights(!) on Saturday. We heard Wonkette’s meddling in AOF’s affairs were causing quite the stir in DC’s gay scene, and we’d like to continue this (for no apparent reason other than our penchant for stirring). So please, AOF lovers and haters — and we know you’re out there — send us as many party pix as possible! A Janky McHaney X-mas to you all.

Ask and ye shall receive. Thanks to a tipster, we have a new diagram that explains how this AOF tomfoolery works and its place in life. It’s a work in progress, but it helps clueless outsiders better understand the various cliques and how they relate. “For the most part, they’re a decent group of guys,” said one Hill staffer of the Axis, as we now call them. “The problem is that in the group, there’s a couple really nasty douchebags.”

We just received a host of lovely pictures from a dedicated commenter. Like Axis of Fun, Wonkette is everywhere! But we can’t tell where one of these groups begins and the other begins! There is definite overlapping. So fun! There’s kickball, The Plastics… we are so confused. Is there, like, a diagram out there to make sense of it all? No? Okay. Well, we’re told that the above picture is the AOF beach chairs before they went pink. Awesome.

With their frosted highlights, shiny faces and blinding white smiles, the Axis of Fun have infiltrated the highest offices of our nation’s capital. And good for them! We wanted to learn more about this group of prancing, preening, fun-loving Twinks. We asked around (thanks everybody!), and the overwhelming consensus was that this is indeed an organized group celebrating many forms of douchebaggery. But some people had nice things to say, like the woman who wrote a heartfelt note telling us when she was new to town, the AOF took her in like a cold, hungry, wet-eyed orphan. And she was, you know, a she! So maybe they’re not totally bad.

Former Senate staffer Mike McHaney, who’a arrest Wonkette reported yesterday, belonged to an informal gay social group known as the Axis of Fun. The group, a source tells us, is not very well-liked. “They think they are the big shots within the gay community around DC and play kickball together and canoodle around Rehobeth.” MORE »
