Display posts starting from today date

According to query_posts you could do a filtering function like:

function filter_where( $where="" ) {
    // where post_date > today
    $where .= " AND post_date >= '" . date('Y-m-d') . "'"; 
    return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );

And then your query_posts doesn’t need to have post_status
