90 Year Old Grandfather Comes Out As Gay

90 Year Old Grandfather Comes Out As Gay

Here’s another late in life coming out story for a gay man. It’s not something unique either. Just try to imagine how many never did come out.

Felts, who now lives in Arvada, Colorado, told CNN that he's known he was gay since he was 12-years-old. But he said he made the choice to conceal his sexuality, 

Here’s a link for more. Here’s another reason why everyone should come out on their own.

Parody of Vintage Fire Island Photos In “Hot Rods” 

For those who don’t know, Fire Island has always been a mecca for gay men. It has deep roots in gay culture. And it’s still going strong as a gay destination in a time when there aren’t many left.

Now there’s a new book out that’s being referred to as a parody of vintage Fire Island. It’s called “Hot Rods”

Set on Fire Island, the book features feathered hair, bushy mustaches, tight-fitting speedos, un-manscaped torsos, striped athletic socks and, ...

A reader tipped us off to this new short from director Joe Ingham, a sort of collage film about the late artist David Robillard.

Here’s more.  You can watch a video too.

Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan Play Gay Face In Movie "Ideal Home"; Stereotyped With the Gay Ken Doll; Ryan Field Books

Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan Play Gay Face In Movie "Ideal Home"

These two straight actors, Rudd and Coogan, who are both open about the women in their lives, play some serious gay face in the movie "Ideal Home." I caught the movie the other night on Amazon streaming and I watched the entire thing in full. Rudd and Coogan play a wealthy middle aged gay couple who pretty much portray almost every gay stereotype there is. I know this because I'm gay...not fake gay...and I've been married to my husban...

Oprah Winfrey and 'Caste'; Gay Couple Viciously Beaten In Israel; Ryan Field Books

Oprah Winfrey and the Book Caste

Oprah Winfrey...and her best friend Gayle...is on another one of her kicks about that never ending book club she has been forcing down out throats for years. And this time she's crying, again.

Oprah Winfrey has announced that "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson is not only her latest pick for Oprah's Book Club, but that it "might be the most important book" she has ever chosen.

Such high drama! Unfortunately, the book could be wonderful. But ...

Someone is finally standing up in public in support of Ellen DeGeneres. 
“I have known Ellen for years and I can honestly say that she’s one of the dopest people on the fucking planet. She has treated my family and my team with love and respect from day 1. The internet has become a crazy world of negativity….we are falling in love with peoples down fall. It’s honestly sad…When did we get here?”
Here's more. He's right about the Internet. It can be such a nasty place.

Well of course Portia is going to stand by her wife, Ellen DeGeneres. It's only logical she would. And this whole saga continues to rage on and these allegations are serious. They range from employees being treated poorly to sexual harassment by producers.

One of Two Gay Men to First Marry In Illinois; More About Ellen DeGeneres; Ryan Field Books

One of Two Gay Men to First Marry In Illinois

Here's a sad story about the second same sex couple to marry in Illinois. But it's also very endearing.

Mr. Ilio and Ron Dorfman got married in December 2013 in a ceremony that was moved up because of concerns about the health of Dorfman, who wasn’t expected to live long enough to see same-sex marriage become legal in Illinois in June 2014. Dorfman died about two months after exchanging vows with Mr. Ilio.

Here's more.  There are photos and back story a...

This time it's Lea Thompson backing up Brad Garrett.

Gay Canadian Man and Police Discrimination; Trans Woman Targets Gay Men at Gay Bar In Washington, DC; Ryan Field Books

Gay Canadian Man and Police Discrimination 

Unfortunately, this sort of thing has been happening to gay men for many, many years. The allegations of discrimination and abuse that can sometimes happen with the police and gay men is not something new and I've personally experienced it myself on several occasions. I think things have changed for the better in the last ten years, but not totally. Especially if allegations like this are still happening.

Shane Daum, a 43-year-old Canadian man, has gone ...
