The Gay Psychic
This week, DC's gay rag, The Blade, has a grammatically-unsteady review of gay psychic Dougall Fraser.
Fraser doesn't see himself as the Gay Psychic, although everyone else does. Rodale Press, which published his memoirs, apparently wanted the books byline to read "Dougall Fraser, Gay Psychic." In fact, Fraser claims that producers on daytime talk shows he appears on have asked him to be "more gay," and that "for a while, [Rodale Press] wanted the book to be called 'Queer Guy with a Third Eye.'" Fraser genuinely wants to be taken seriously as a human and not be just the Gay Psychic. He continues to make regular appearances on daytime talk shows, and devoted a large part of his book to "a no-holds-barred look at [Fraser] growing up on Long Island and testing the limits of his sexuality."
[Fraser]'s new memoir, "But You Knew That Already," is getting solid reviews and selling briskly. Fraser's 6-foot-6-inch frame means he already stands out in a crown, but perhaps the way he views the role of psychics is what sets him apart.Because astrology is for people who want to help people, but don't want to waste four years getting a psychology degree. That's—not entirely unreasonable, I guess. Still...Fraser genuinely wants to listen to people and help them with their problems. He continues to commune with the dead for his clients.
For starters, he doesn't talk to dead people.
"It's boring," Fraser says. "They always say the same thing: 'We're fine. It didn't hurt. I'm with grandma.' I do it, but I'm more interested in human dynamics."

Fraser believes that people who seek advice from psychics may rely too heavily on what they say..."People are looking to me for something that I can't give them. [But I'll take their money.]"

Speaking of astrology, an astrologer in Russia is suing NASA for sending that spacecraft into the comet. She says it has screwed up her horoscopes and wants 300 million dollars. GUY

How about a TV show about a gay radio psychic named Fraser? LOUPost a Comment
