Madonna's Biopic Plans
Madonna recently announced on Insta that she's working on a biopic with Diablo Cody. And it sounds as if she's not holding back in some cases. In the excerpt below they're talking about the movie, Evita.
When a fan asked her if Webber was “nice,” Madonna replied, “No, he wasn’t. He was not nice to me. I’m not sure he even wanted me in the movie. Thank God, Alan Parker did.”
Here's more. I remember when Madonna was up for that role of Evita. It was big pop culture news at...

Black Owned Gay Bars Are Slowly Disappearing; Ryan Field Books
Black Owned Gay Bars Are Slowly Disappearing
This seems to be a trend everywhere. Gay bars all over the world have been shuttering and I'm not sure there's anything anyone can do about it. It's not just in the US either. It's global. You really can't blame it totally on COVID either. There's been such a strong societal shift in the last decade or so I don't ever see us going back to the way things once were. I just didn't know about these statistics.
The closures have had a disproportionate impa...

Ryan Murphy, Straight People and Gay Camp, Stephen King's Tweet About Ratched
I just finished watching another Ryan Murphy series for Netflix and I loved it. This one is called Ratched and it's based on an exaggerated, campy version of a character from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The character, Nurse Ratched, has been a campy gay reference for years. I think you have to be gay to know that. In other words, it's a character that's larger than life and it's consciously artificial. It's very mu...

PEN15 Authentic Gay Teen Story On TV; Ryan Field Books
PEN15 Authentic Gay Teen Story On TV
This new show on TV looks interesting. PEN15 is an American cringe comedy on Hulu. It's supposed to be an authentic depiction of all the ups and downs of middle school in the early 2000s. There's a gay teen story line that looks really good.
Watching Gabe struggle with his sexuality in the new season of PEN15, I felt like I was watching my younger self onscreen — and I'm not alone.
Here's the link to read more. Coming to terms with being gay for any kid is ne...

The Homophobic Lindsey Graham Video All Over Twitter the Straights Are Loving
I'm always amazed when I see gay people supporting toxic, homophobic straights just because these toxic homophobic straights claim to be allies. While they claim to be allies, they are slamming us with either passive aggressive homophobia or blatant homophobia. Some do it because they don't know any better. They think they know everything there is to know about gay people from watching Will and his Grace, and some do it...

Iran Is THE MOST Dangerous Country For Gay Travelers
I love how so many straight people who consider themselves supporters talk about how wonderful places like Iran are. These are the straight white people who claim to be for equality but fail to realize their own sense of privilege...and how that privilege does not extend to marginalized groups with regard to travel.
With that said, gay people do not always have the same privileges straight people have when they are traveling. And we are always h...

The Best Male Full Frontal Nudity In Movies For 2019 Award
Once again, I haven't posted about male full frontal nudity in films lately because it's not there. I see a lot of female full frontal, but not so much male. And that's a shame because people want to see this double standard go away.
With that said, this article is about an award that's given to the best male full frontal nudity. I didn't even know an award like this existed. But there are multiple categories that range from Best Full Fr...

The Dumb, Ridiculous Questions that Bisexual People Have to Endure; Ryan Field Books
The Dumb, Ridiculous Questions that Bisexual People Have to Endure
I'm a firm believer in the fact that I don't HAVE to do anything. So that's why I worded the headline of this post the way I did. Bisexual people don't HAVE to answer any questions, but they do have to endure a good deal of idiocy. In other words, if you're bisexual you don't have to answer stupid questions but you can't stop an idiot from asking them.
Sexuality isn’t and shouldn’t be a performance, yet bisexuals often feel they ha...

45% Gay Men Supporting Trump, and He Applauds Them
I never get into anything political here for two reasons. One, I'm not that interested in politics. I care more about individual issues...like gay marriage. And two, I don't want to be accused of bias. I like to keep this web site and my books objective at all times. In short, I'm not supposed to be commenting about politics. It's just not my thing.
With that said, I do find this interesting. I will admit that I'm a registered Democrat and I hav...

Should People Be Allowed to be Gay; Ryan Field Books
Should People Be Allowed to be Gay
Here's a link to a story where a BBC journalist named Christian Fraser asked the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, if people should be allowed to be gay. Here's part of her her reply:
Mottley continued: “I think that is a most inappropriate question as to whether a person should be ‘allowed’ to be gay.
“I think the question is, should we discriminate against people because they’re gay? And we will not."
There's more here. I think she replied well, but there ...
