"Transparent" Musical Series Finale on Amazon Streaming
It's hard to believe my posts about the TV show, Transparent, date back to 2014. And I've been posting different news stories about it ever since because I love the show, the characters, and the writing. In fact, there was never a thing about that show I didn't like. I even love the house. There's always been an artistic quality, but not over the top. Unfortunately...

Gay Guy Rejects Homophobic Bullies' Apologies
This is one of those Reddit things that talks about a gay guy who was bullied and tortured by homophobes all through high school, and then just recently 3 of the homophobes apologized to him for all the homophobic things they'd done. However, the gay guy who was bullied wants no part of their apologies OR them, and he told them to go f$%k off.

Billy Porter Talks about Homophobia in Show Business
In the course of any given day, on any social media outlet, I see all kinds of homophobia. It can range from obtuse, to passive aggressive, to outright discrimination. Sometimes they don't even know they are being homophobic. And that's just the tip of it all. What Billy Porter is talking about here goes much deeper.

Gay Rights Movement Started In Bars; Scotty Bowers Who Arranged Hook Ups For Closeted Gay Hollywood Dies; Ryan Field Books
Gay Rights Movement Started In Bars
Tony and I recently had a conversation with friends of ours about the recent closing of New Hope's last Gay Bar, The Raven. At one time New Hope, PA was a huge destination point for LGBTQ people up and down the east coast because there were 3 gay bars, with restaurants and hotel accommodations, and now we're down to zero. Of course there's a reason for all this and it didn't happen overnight. Gay bars are closing everywhere, not just here. It's assimilation,...

I Wish Colton Haynes Could Play the Lead In A STARR Is Born

This is only my wishful thinking. I know the reality is that it won't ever happen. But when my publisher, Riverdale Ave Books in New York, asked me to write this parody of A Star Is Born the moment I started it I thought of Colton Haynes. And I really don't even know that much about Haynes. I just think it's something he could do, as an openly gay actor, and he could own this main character. I didn't even choose the cover of this book...

This story has been trending all week and I'm glad to see it finally made the gay presses.

Gay Disabled People With Respect to Being Gay Bottoms
This is a real life piece written by a gay disabled guy speaking from his own personal experience, and there's an interesting twist. He's also a nice writer. I like his voice. He explores the concept of whether or not most gay disabled men are bottoms. I know nothing about this and I'm only linking.
It wasn’t until my boyfriend brought up the idea of me topping him (Which I tried, thank you! More on that in a later column, I promise) at the...

Long time journalist, Shepard Smith, recently announced he’s leaving Fox news and people are stunned. Smith has been one of the few openly gay journalists anywhere. He made a public statement.
