2020: June is Gay Pride Month; Gay Film Maker Pretends His Partner Was His Cousin For 15 Years; Ryan Field Books
2020: June is Gay Pride Month
So far 2020 has been a horrible year for all of us thanks to COVID. The entire world went into self-quarantine in March and now that it's June we're just beginning to come out of it. Which means this year we don't be seeing any large Pride events of parades. I think most of the summer in Provincetown has been canceled. Almost everything has been canceled...unless of course you're planning a riot or a looting session. Then you can feel free to do whatever you want.
Ho...

His Dad Thought His Hook Up Was an Intruder; A Mosque In the Heart of London's Gay Village; Ryan Field Books
His Dad Thought His Hook Up Was an Intruder
While this guy was living at home with his parents, he decided to take a hook up home and things got a bit awkward.
At that point, Lehmann’s dad had a complete freakout, running fo a baseball bat. Nick calmed his dad down, assuring him that he had a gentleman caller. Then Lehmann’s dad insisted on meeting said guest.
Here's the rest. I don't blame the dad for freaking out. I wouldn't want to find out there were strangers lurking in my home either. Frankly...

Backstory Behind Diana Ross's Pride Anthem "I'm Coming Out"
I definitely Stan for Diana Ross. I always have, even as a little kid. And I'm not the only one. She has millions of Stans all over the world who are still fascinated by her.
Here's some amusing backstory about her huge hit song, I'm Coming Out.
“She didn’t understand that that was a gay thing,” Rodgers says, “that that was a person saying, ‘I’m coming out of the closet.’ She didn’t even get that.”
There's more here. It's all amusing. It's ...

Celebrities Pay Tribute To Larry Kramer
Sadly, I haven't seen much about Larry Kramer in any mainstream news. Which isn't all that shocking. If it's not about the likes of Straight Will and his Grace exploiting gay content, they go blank. They don't even want to know there was once a gay activist named Larry Kramer. It's not on their radar.
But not everyone went blank, thankfully.
“We have lost a giant of a man who stood up for gay rights like a warrior,” said Sir Elton John. “His anger was needed ...

Hollywood Hills House Parties During COVID Are Out of Control; RIP Larry Kramer; Ryan Field Books
Hollywood Hills House Parties During COVID Are Out of Control
With everything shut down right now thanks to COVID, some people are having their own parties and not caring too much about social distancing.
It's so bad in Hollywood that the local police put together a video asking people to tone things down.
You can watch the video here. They are actually pleading with people not to be asshats.
RIP Larry Kramer

The Great Gay Hook Up Drought of 2020; Gay Mister Rogers Actor Can Finally Come Out; Ryan Field Books
The Great Gay Hook Up Drought of 2020
This is amusing. No one ever thought anything like this could ever happen. With so many gay men not out looking for sex thanks to COVID, comics are having a field day.
This is from a Youtube comic named Michael Henry.
His latest video, entitled ‘Quarantine D’, explores the fact some gay men are still hunting for dick, at a time when many others are choosing to abstain and not hook-up.

Gay Ass News Website; The 20 Year Old Gay Kiss That Made TV History; Ryan Field books
Gay Ass News Website
I found this website and thought I would share. It's called Gay Ass News and it's very different from anything you've ever seen before.
First, it's not a print site. This is all audio and you listen to the news stories instead of reading them. It's different.
You can check it out, here. Unfortunately, it's a great concept but the last post was October 2019.

Gay Sex Club Closed Down For Not Social Distancing
So far, since the first week in March, Tony and I have followed all the rules for lockdown, self-quarantine, and social distancing. We're wearing masks in public, and we're really not going anywhere or having anyone over to our home. And our families and friends are doing the same things. We haven't even ordered take out food because we don't trust it.
I'm not saying we deserve a medal for this, however, we actually had the mild version of Coronav...

Matt Lauer Slams Ronan Farrow
I've been seeing this trend all week. I think everyone knows what happened with Matt Lauer. If you don't, it's a simple search. After years of going silent, the former news personality is now going after Ronan Farrow.
Lauer cites purposely misleading passages in the book, slams Farrow for not attempting to corroborate allegations against Lauer with third parties and claims that Farrow’s own grudge against NBC helped fuel his discrediting of Lauer.
Here's the link. I th...

Excellent Interview with Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy
Here's something nice that will help you get to know Dan Levy a little better. I loved Schitt's Creek and was sorry to see the series end. I hope Levy does something else.
With this reply below, he's responding to a question about what inspires him.
I don’t know. I’d be lying if I didn’t say it is really hard in these times. I think when there’s something impactful and tragic in the world, it’s hard to find the kind of clarity and headspace to writ...
