German Gay Christmas Market; Cute Ryan O'Connell's Special is Renewed for Season 2; Ryan Field Gay Romance Books
German Gay Christmas Market
If you're going to be in Germany for the holidays, you might want to check this out. If you're not going to be in Germany, like me, you'll like it anyway. I love to see how gay culture works in other cultures.
It's all about the Christmas markets in Cologne, which is also known as one of the gay capitals of Europe. And there's a section called The Bermuda Triangle known for its nightlife. The gay Christmas market is known as Heavenue.

Straight Guy Who Loves Musical Theater Wonders If He's Gay; What Would a Gay Hallmark Movie Be Like?; Ryan Field Books
Straight Guy Who Loves Musical Theater Wonders If He's Gay
I think we've all heard something like this before. Even though millions of gay men don't really care that much about musical theater (me included...I never liked musical theater), the stereotype that all gay men love musical theater continues to make the rounds as we move into 2020. They even do this on TV shows like Grace and Frankie. A good deal of the gay story line on that show revolves around two older gay men and musical...

What the Hell Is the "Gay Agenda?"; 16 Gay Movies For the Holiday Season; Ryan Field Books
WTF Is the "Gay Agenda?"
While I was reading comments during that whole painfully confusing Hallmark channel controversy over the weekend I kept seeing anti-gay homophobic straight conservatives talking about this thing called the "Gay Agenda." Of course I'd seen it before. I even had a reader once leave a review for a gay romance accusing me of trying to promote the "Gay Agenda." Imagine that. I'm writing a gay romance, openly and honestly, and she thought I was promoting the "Gay Agenda." I...

Hallmark Faces Criticism for Pulling Gay Wedding Ads Then Reverses Decision; Holiday Season Interview With Kit Williamson of Eastsiders; Ryan Field Books
Hallmark Faces Criticism for Pulling Gay Wedding Ads Then Reverses Decision
Last week it sounded as though Hallmark might be including more LGBT characters in movies, and then something happened. Of course it's truncated but I've added links as usual. I really don't like to focus too much on things like this, not when there are more important LGBTQ stories to be told.
On Thursday, Hallmark pulled ads with gay brides kissing each other. All G-rated and nothing with adult content...or at least...

Disabled Gay Adult Film Star Andrew Gurza Opens Up; Texas Men Plead Guilty To Luring Gay Men; Ryan Field Books
Disabled Gay Adult Film Star Andrew Guza Opens Up
This is the story of a gay adult film star named Andrew Gurza who happens to be disabled. He's also a disability advocate with Cerebral Palsy.
What was supposed to be a positive launch for a new adult film turned into something completely unexpected for Gurza. I can't tell you how many times I have seen things like this happen on social media.
“Someone on Twitter this morning posted that I had masturbated in front of their friends without their...

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka's Home In Architectural Digest; 47 Gay Men Arrested In Nigeria Under Anti-Gay Laws; Ryan Field Books
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka's Home In Architectural Digest
I like sharing this article because I've been subscribing to Architectural Digest for over 20 years now and they have always been thrilled to promote the homes, designs, and interiors of gay men. Long before other publications would even dare to print anything about gay men, AD was doing it and not even thinking twice about it. My gay brother's business in NY, VenfieldNYC.com, has been featured several times, and they've...

How To Clean Your Penis the Right Way; Dude Is Your Penis Normal?; Ryan Field Books
How To Clean Your Penis the Right Way
You would think that most guys would know how to do this, but I guess that's not always the case. It's also a good example of never assume anything.
I have to admit this is a thorough run down on penis cleaning. It's penis cleaning at its best. They get into everything, from how to clean an uncircumcised penis to dealing with smegma (they explain smegma well). And it's very clinical, with a few images.
Growing up, no one ever gave me the rundown on how or...

Gay Men Who Can Pass As Straight; Gay Porn Star Markie More On Doing Gay Porn; Ryan Field Books
Gay Men Who Can Pass As Straight
I think most gay men have passed as straight at one point or another in their lives. What choice did we have? If we didn't pass as straight while we were growing up we would have been subjected to ridicule and shame. We learn that at a very early age.
With that said, here's an article about gay men who can pass as straight, and whether or not it makes life easier for them.
It's a You Tube video from Michael Henry that asks questions like what are some of the...

Richard E. Grant Talks About Actors Playing Gay Face
In this article, Richard E. Grant talks about whether or not straight actors should be playing gay face. It also sounds as though this is something he's thought about for a while.
This is a direct quote from Grant.
“I’ve always had that concern. The transgender movement and the #MeToo movement means, how can you justify heterosexual actors playing gay characters?“We are in a historic moment. If you want someone to play a disabled role, that...

Keanu Reeves Was In a Homoerotic Thriller; Fake Viral Petition Against Hallmark's Gay Movies; Ryan Field Books
Keanu Reeves Was In a Homoerotic Thriller
Now here's a name I haven't heard in ages...Bruce LaBruce. He's a Canadian filmmaker and underground director who's known for his gay films that combine art and gay porn. But that's a very general description, and not very good either. I've always liked his work and sometimes it's inspired me to combine gay romance with explicit gay sex in books. Click that link on his name to read more. I remember reading a lot about him in the 90s.
