Gay Dads Leave Russia Fearing Kids Will Be Taken Away; The Brave Person Who Promoted Same Sex Marriage In 1953; Ryan Field Books
Gay Dads Leave Russia Fearing Kids Will Be Taken Away
Here's another disturbing story on the global front. It's also a good example of why we need gay news media, because no mainstream media outlets will bother to share this story with anyone.
In any event, this is what's happening to a couple of gay dads in Russia.
Andrei Vaganov and Evgeny Erofeyev were forced to flee Russia after the government began investigating their family when it discovered that their two sons did not have a mother...

UK Home Office and Failure To Erase Convictions For Gay Sex
Here's a piece where the focus is on what used to happen to gay men in the UK if they had consensual sex. They were treated as if they were criminals, and shamed and humiliated for doing what was completely natural. In short, they did nothing wrong but that didn't matter. They were arrested and convicted for being gay men.
In 2012, after years of fear and persecution and degradation, a bill called Protection of Freedoms promised to del...

Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier Thinks Playing Gay Face Hurt His Career
Here's another interesting story about a straight actor who played gay face on Downton Abbey recently.
This is what Rob Jame-Collier is saying now about playing gay face...
He said: “Because Thomas Barrow is gay and is, essentially, the bad guy for much of the show, a lot of people within the industry can only see you as that. They might not be in a rush to see you as a heterosexual love interest. That takes time.”

Gay TV Reality Chef Gets Hate Mail; Don’t Tell Mayor Pete How To Be Gay; Ryan Field Books
Gay TV Reality Chef Gets Hate Mail
This one is about a reality chef from The Great British Bakeoff. Even though I don’t bake I actually love this show and I remember this guy well. It's the kind of show you can binge watch and never give up. I think there are something like 7 or 8 seasons now. The people are so nice.

Gay Radio Host Allegedly Sends Gay Slur Tweet To Himself; Judy Garland the Ultimate Gay Icon; Ryan Field Books
Gay Radio Host Allegedly Sends Gay Anti-Gay Slur Tweet To Himself
This is one of those stories where the word "allegedly" is important to remember. A gay radio host in New Orleans, Seth Dunlap, received an anti-gay Tweet that referred to him with a well known gay pejorative that begins with the letter "F." But there's a twist to this story you'll find stunning.
Now, according to a police report, the station claims Dunlap tweeted the slur himself by accessing the station’s official Twitter accou...

The Gay Sex Ban In Singapore Is Challenged
Here's a story from the global front that I didn't even know existed. Obviously, there's a gay sex ban in Singapore. And one guy is trying to challenge it.
A 61-year-old retired general practitioner in Singapore has filed a legal action against the government to end the country’s ban on gay sex.
Here's the entire story. I hope he's successful. Unfortunately, there are still other countries with gay sex bans.

Ryan O'Connell On Being Gay and Disabled
I really like this guy. He has a great TV show on Netflix called Special that I binge watched voraciously, and I love the comments me makes in public. This is the kind of gay content we should be getting all the time.
Writer, actor, and disability advocate Ryan O’Connell spoke to students at the University of Washington this week about the unique struggles he’s faced as someone who is both gay and disabled.
Here's more. It's definitely...

Top 5 Gay Leather and Fetish Events; Trans Actress Quits Twitter Because of Bernie Sanders Supporters Bullying Her; Ryan Field Books
Top 5 Gay Leather and Fetish Events
I always post about things like this because I get sick of the uptight goodie-goodie people on social media who always seem to pass judgment. This week I saw a piece about a guy who sucked his girlfriend's toes and so many people commented negatively...or with disgust. The guy has a foot fetish and there's nothing wrong with that. He loves his girlfriend's feet so much he sucks her toes. Big deal. You wouldn't think that would matter to anyone, especially be...

Riverdale Ave Books Author Call For Submissions
I'm sharing this because I love everything Riverdale Ave Books publishes, and I wish I had time to submit a story myself. I'm swamped right now and I don't have time, but if I did this is definitely something I would love because it's a challenge. It's out of my genre but it's something I love reading for personal pleasure.
At one time there were many calls for submissions like this, however, I don't see them very often anymore. So if I were a new...

Grindr Profiles That Turn Gay Guys Off
Here's more from the hook up app front. This time it's about what really turns gay guys off with Grindr.
Not everyone judges a guy’s profile by the photo — some users actually read the bio and then swipe away because of one of the clichés recently pilloried in the r/askgaybros subreddit.
You can read the rest of it, here. The comments are interesting, too.
