Armie Hammer Parties In Viciously Anti-Gay Saudi Arabia
Good old Armie Hammer who played gay face in the quasi LGBTQ movie, Call Me By Your Name, was recently spotted having a wonderful heteronormative time in a country where being gay is still illegal. He was there with a few other celebrities (and influencers), too.
The country is Saudi Arabia. According to this article, being gay there is punishable by death.
And being openly LGBTQ is taking your life in your hands. Transgender...

Welcoming Your Gay Child's Partner Into Your Home; RIP Jerry Herman; Ryan Field Books
Welcoming Your Gay Child's Partner Into Your Home
You would think this would be simple common sense. You would think that a parent would welcome their gay child's partner into their home the same way they would welcome their straight child's partner. Apparently, it still doesn't always work this way and there are still gay people dealing with not being accepted by their parents.
This is about how a young woman's partner's family has welcomed her into their lives, but the young woman's own...

2019: Prominent LGBT People We Lost
It's that time of year again, and here's a list of some prominent LGBT people that passed away. I actually remember each one when it was announced.
I know I posted about this one when it happened.
New Yorker Brian Butterick, also known as the drag queen Hattie Hathaway, died at the age of 62 in late January. Butterick was a well-known figure on NYC’s club scene. Beyond making a name for himself as a drag queen, Butterick was also a musician and performer,...

Jake Graf On JK Rowling's Anti-Trans Comments; Zambia: Ambassador Daniel Foote Loses Job For Supporting Gay Rights; Ryan Field Books
Jake Graf On JK Rowling's Anti-Trans Comments
Author JK Rowling recently made a few comments on Twitter that many believe are anti-trans, and people have been speaking out in protest. From what I've seen, it's a combination of anger and hurt.
There's some interesting back story about Graf, and then there's an interview where he talks about Rowling.
When asked about whether or not Rowling's anti-trans comments will hurt her or her brand, his reply is spot on.
However, it is unlikely that our hurt...

John F. Kennedy's Gay White House You Never Hear About; Queer Content Allegedly Removed From Schitt's Creek In the UK; Ryan Field Books
John F. Kennedy's Gay White House You Never Hear About
I've read many biographies about President Kennedy, and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and there is always one name that pops up in every book...Lem Billings. However, not one book ever goes into any detail about Lem Billings or how he was a part of President Kennedy's life. Most of the time there's a one line mention of Lem Billings, and then he's never mentioned again. And I blame biographers for this homophobic travesty, and for not...

Logan Paul and the Leaked Gay Oral Sex Video
I saw this Logan Paul rumor trending all weekend on Twitter and even though a good deal of the Tweets were amusing, I couldn't believe how many homophobic Tweets I saw from people who didn't even realize they were Tweeting homophobia. They would never have been able to get away with those Tweets with any other minority, not even with sarcasm or humor. And I would bet none of them even thought they did anything wrong. It's almost obtuse enough...

"A Million Little Pieces" Aaron Taylor-Johnson Full Frontal Male Nudity; How Grindr Has Changed Gay Male Lives; Ryan Field Books
"A Million Little Pieces" Aaron Taylor-Johnson Full Frontal Male Nudity
If you're not familiar with the back story of the book, "A Million Little Pieces," here's a link below. I'm not getting into all of that now because my focus is on the male full frontal nudity in the film, but the book was a big thing back in 2006 for very specific reasons. The author of the book, James Frey, lied to the world about the book being non-fiction, and when people figured out he lied it rocked publishing for a...

6 Homophobes Busted On Grindr; Real Story About Guy Who Got 16 Years For Burning the Rainbow Flag; Ryan Field Books
6 Homophobes Busted On Grindr
Here's a list of 6 different homophobic people who were caught on Grindr. This first one is kind of typical of what we see all the time.
He's an anti-gay preacher from Missouri, an elder at a place called The Church of Christ, and a communications professor at Truman University. And yet, he was caught looking for gay hook ups on Grindr. Allegedly, he was looking for a "sugar daddy relationship."
You can read it all, here. There's more to the story, and 5 more...

People Who Dislike Pete Buttigieg and Passive Aggressive Homophobia; 1970s Forgotten Gay Magazine: "Michael's Thing"; Ryan Field Books
People Who Dislike Pete Buttigieg and Passive Aggressive Homophobia
First, I like Pete Buttigieg and if I can I'm going to support him in the primaries. I never thought I would live to see an openly gay married man running for President, and being taken seriously, and you can be damn sure I'm not taking that lightly. The gay guy this time has my support.
With that said, here's an article about why some people dislike Buttigieg. Of course I believe there's a certain amount of passive...

Martha Stewart's Tweet With Adorable Antoni Porowski
Apparently, at least according to this source, Martha Stewart tossed a little shade at Antoni Porowski on Twitter because he shared an image he took at her home where he's standing in her stables petting a horse. (He looks adorable in the photo.)
Of course Antoni replied quickly, very nicely and politely, in a very adorable way.
“Apologies for not respectfully mentioning dear doggos Empress Chin, Emperor Han, Bête Noire, and cuddle monster...
