Iran Allegedly Forces Gay Men To Have Sex Reassignment Surgery; Cute Aaron Schock Comes Out As Gay; Ryan Field Books

Iran Allegedly Forces Gay Men To Have Sex Reassignment Surgery

What a despicable country. And this makes it even worse.

In an attempt to rid Iran of all "homosexuality" they are allegedly forcing gay men to undergo sex reassignment surgery, or face execution.

This is from an activist:

“The government believes that if you are a gay man your soul is that of a woman and you should change your body.” Amin, who fled the country in 1983, explains. “They think this is a way to fight the existence of...

"The Pete Effect" LGBTQ Americans and Pete Buttgieg's Historic Run; Ronan Farrow Drops Publisher Hachette Book Group; Ryan Field Books

"The Pete Effect" LGBTQ Americans and Pete Buttigieg's Historic Run

Here's an article that talks about how Pete Buttigieg not only made history, but also changed the proverbial landscape for LGBTQ Americans running for public office. We now know it's possible to be openly gay, run for President, and be taken seriously for once. And I'm by no means taking anything away from openly gay Fred Karger who also ran for president before Buttigieg, and he actually supported Buttigieg this time. He did...

The Homophobia They Don't Even Notice

I don't have any link to this. It's just my own observations on social media. And it's short and sweet.

Homophobia is not just that blatant kind of discrimination where LGBTQ people are put down and banned from something. It's not just about a Christian baker not wanting to bake a cake for a gay wedding. It goes much deeper than that, and unfortunately I see it all the time with our so-called straight allies. It's a form of passive aggressive homophobia...

A Queer Muslim Pride Fest In London

There is one thing we know for certain. You can bet your money on it. There are LGBTQ Muslim people all over the world. We might not hear about it often, but they exist and it looks as if they're starting to speak up a little more.

On April 11, a Muslim Pride Festival will begin in London. It's being referred to as the first of its kind, ever.

Here's a link to read more. According to this article, there are about  3 million Muslims in the UK. I would love...

Pete Buttigieg Ends Presidential Campaign on Sunday; Gay Chemsex Culture In Hollywood; Ryan Field Books

Pete Buttigieg Ends Presidential Campaign on Sunday

This was a little surprising to me, but not a total shock. It's always important to know when to leave, and I think Buttigieg showed wisdom and intelligence in doing so at this particular time. He did a wonderful job, ran a wonderful campaign, inspired millions of people, and he made history. I think he'll be around for a while.

With that said, Buttigieg returned to South Bend to formally announce he was dropping out.

“One of those values is...

Amazon Series "Hunters" and a "Jewface" and "Jewploitation Commentary; Do Gay Guys Cuddle With Hetero Pals? Ryan Field Books

Amazon Series "Hunters" and a "Jewface," and "Jewploitation" Commentary

Last night we were watching a series on Amazon Prime titled, "Hunters." At first I liked it, and then about halfway through I turned to Tony and asked if he thought it was appropriate for non-Jewish actors to play Jewish characters, especially when the Jewish characters are so exaggerated. And the reason I asked is because the character played by one actor seemed so painfully exaggerated and so riddled with Jewish...

Washington Passes Ban On Gay and Trans Panic Defense 

It's about time everyone banned this ridiculous defense. 

OLYMPIA, Wash. — A measure prohibiting homicide defendants from claiming a defense based on panic over a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity has been passed by lawmakers in Washington state.

Here's a link to read more. Nine other states have already banned gay or trans panic defense. If you don't know anything about gay panic defense do a simple search. It's worth...

Washington DC's Last Gay Bathhouse Closes

I recently posted about the possibility of bathhouses making a comeback, but according to this article it doesn't look all that great anymore.

A bathhouse called The Crew Club in Washington's Logan Circle is shuttering this Saturday night. It's been in business for 25 years. The owners spoke openly about why they're closing.

“We sold the building four years ago at the height of the market and we were trying to work out a lease-back program but it just...

Ben Affleck Is NOT On Grindr, He Swears, You Tube's Ricky Dillon Comes Out As Gay, Ryan Field Books,

Ben Affleck Is NOT On Grindr, He Swears

This is one of those simple stories where you won't have to think too hard. And sometimes that's not a bad thing. And, it's Friday.

Ben Affleck did an interview about what it's like to date now and he stated he's not on any hook up apps at all. To be honest, I think that's something private and no one should ask that question. They shouldn't even ask Ben Affleck.

“I’m on no dating apps. I’m not on Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Humble — I am not on any of them. I...

Alleged Republican Hate Crime In Provincetown, Wilton Manors Mayor Dies From Heart Attack, Ryan Field Books

Alleged Republican Hate Crime In Provincetown

For 15 years we spent every Labor Day Week, Halloween, and New Year's Eve on Cape Cod in Provincetown. And we loved every minute of it. It's always been a wonderful little New England art colony, and a safe place for LGBTQ people...and everyone.

With that said, there was an incident recently where a Republican politician pulled into town in a massive army truck, and when he reached the town hall some guy ran up to his army truck and ripped off all...
