LGBT Adult Seniors Fear Discrimination
When I first saw this trending I was amazed at how many people didn't fully grasp the entire point. They seemed to believe that just because nursing homes, family, caregivers, or assisted living facilities treat older gay people equally that's the end of the discussion. This goes deeper than just being treated equally. And I've seen how it works, first hand, with several older adult seniors I've known. The fear of growing older for LGBT people encompasses...

New York's September 11th Remembrance Day
I think it's wonderful that people are not forgetting what happened on September 11, 2001. It was a terrible day, and many of us still remember it well. And for those of us who don't remember it, this sparks conversation about it, which leads to learning.
The new law, signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday, allows for a brief moment of silence in public schools in New York every 9/11 to memorialize the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Tom Holland and the Real Hot Sexy Gay Spider Man Saga
Here's a story about Tom Holland and how he responded to a question about whether or not there should be a gay Spider Man.
Of course Holland responded in the typical way and there are no surprises there. However, I love the suggestion they offer in this article, especially with regard to gay culture. They already have a new gay Spider Man in mind, and I think most of you will love it.

Tweets About Gay People Who Don't Sit Properly
I think this story is meant to be taken lightly. I figured I should state that up front. There are 30 tweets about how gay people don't sit properly.
It’s a well-known fact on the internet that LGBTQ people cannot properly. Just ask artist Má Matiazi.Matiazi recently sketched the design for a “bi-chair” for “people who can’t sit straight.”Here's the link where you can see pics and read all the tweets.

Kid Talent Show Auditions Held Next To Gay Batthouse
This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this. Bathhouses are usually so discreet no one even knows they are bathhouses. In most places, from what I've seen, bathhouses are usually referred to as gyms. And from the way it appears in this article, this bathhouse is very discreet. I wouldn't even know it is a bathhouse unless someone actually pointed it out specifically.
Parents of aspiring young singers are fuming mad after l...

Are Gay Men Busier and More Stressed? Drew Brees Claims He's Not Anti-Gay; Ryan Field Books
Are Gay Men Busier and More Stressed?
Gay news is really slow lately, and I think that's partly because Gay Star News shut down a few weeks ago. I miss linking to them, and I'm worried that we're heading back to the days when there weren't many gay presses around.
With that said, this piece is interesting from a social POV. It's a letter that was written by a gay man who seems to be seeking advice.
I’ve noticed that all my gay male friends are very busy and generally stressed out. But my straigh...

Facebook's New Dating Feature
I knew this was only a matter of time. In fact, I won't be surprised if Twitter doesn't do something similar in the future. Aside from the fact that people already hook up on all social media outlets, this just makes it easier. This is from Facebook:
Starting today, you can choose to opt into Facebook Dating and create a Dating profile (separate from your main profile). You will be suggested to others who have also opted in. People are suggested based on your prefe...

Kevin Hart and the Homophobia Lil Nas X Faced
This is something that I see happen all the time. Non-gay people who simply do not understand what it's like to be gay and to face homophobia...not to mention all the other issues gay people face growing up.
“It’s not like it was being forced,” Lil Was X replies. “It’s just like knowing growing up, like, I’m growing up to hate this shit. I’m not supposed to ever like this—”Hart cuts Lil Nas X off, asking, “Hate what? Hate what?”Here's the link....

Gay Guys Talk About Hooking Up With Twins
This topic has been something I've been hearing for years. In fact, it's almost like an obsession for some people. It's a Reddit thread where gay guys discuss hooking up with twin brothers.
“I had a regular hookup on Grindr, [and] then his twin brother messaged me about hooking up, so I did,” the guy explained on Reddit. “I let him know I knew his brother, but he didn’t seem to mind.”
Here's the link. Most make it clear they aren't interested i...

Not All Gay Guys Are Into Straight Guys
This has always been an age old discussion from what I can remember. I've heard it with groups of friends, I've seen it online, and I've even seen those ridiculous 'studies' done about it. So here's a link to a piece about a gay guy who isn't into straight guys. It's from Reddit, but I think it shows how not all gay men are alike. We tend to get that label...that we're all the same. And we're clearly not.
