Gay Culture and the Pete Buttigieg Tweet

Here's a story about a tweet someone posted that screams proverbial volumes about age, gay culture, and how many gay men see themselves. If you're over 30 years old, you are old. It's a very interesting concept.

This was the tweet:

"Pete Buttigieg is the only 37-year-old gay man to ever be referred to as 'young'."

You can read the rest, here. The comments as usual are worth reading, too. However, I don't think this broad generalization includes all gay men...

Brand New Release: 'How To Be a Good Gay Bottom' by Ryan Field; Dating Apps Make Social Lives Worse; Ryan Field Books

Brand New Release: 'How To Be a Good Gay Bottom' by Ryan Field

How to Be a Good Gay Bottom by [Field, Ryan] Here's my newest release, How To Be a Good Gay Bottom. It's a novel and there's nothing clinical about it. It's a gay romance with a different kind of story line. Of course there's a happy ending but it's not easy getting there. Paul is so terrified of having anal sex it totally consumes his life.

I'll post a few free excerpts very soon, but for now here is the back cover copy. And there's a link below.

While minding his own business...

Pelosi and Omar Travel to Anti-Gay Homophobic Ghana For Photo-Op 

Anyone who follows me knows I rarely get political, however, all LGBTQ issues that relate to the quality of LGBTQ lives matter to me. This is where I remain focused. And I find this display by elected US officials a huge slap in the face to all LGBTQ people in the US.

First, if you know nothing about how LGBTQ people in Ghana are treated, this will open your eyes.

Ghanaians who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT...

First Openly Gay Presidential Candidate Fred Karger Lauches 'The Truth Squad'; Justin Trudeau Visits Gay Bar and the Media Goes Berserk; Ryan Field Books


 First Openly Gay Presidential Candidate Fred Karger Launches The Truth Squad

Most people don't realize that Pete Buttigieg was not the first openly gay man to run for President in the US. Buttigieg has received a lot more attention this time, but an openly gay man named Fred Karger was actually the first one to run for President in 2012. Even though the mainstream media totally ignored Karger's entire campaign, I did follow it closely here on this web site.  At the time I poste...

Cover Reveal: How To Be a Good Gay Bottom; Disabled Bisexual Fitness Model Inspires Others; Ryan Field Books

New Release Cover Reveal: How To Be a Good Gay Bottom

How To Be a Good Gay Bottom is not a clinical book and it's not trying to be one, however, I wrote this book because I wanted to create a gay character who is absolutely terrified of anal sex so much that it consumes his entire life. People automatically think all gay men just get right into anal intercourse as if it's our birthright, however, nothing could be more distant from the truth. It's a lot more complicated for most of us.

So here's...

Gay Star News Shutters Due To 'Rainbow Washing'; Gay Teen Boys Go To Prom Together; Gay Footballer Andy Brennan Is Glad He Came Out As Gay; Ryan Field Books

Gay Star News Shutters Due To 'Rainbow Washing'

I have been a huge supporter of Gay Star News since they launched. I've read them, I've linked to them, and I have endlessly tried to promote them in my own small humble way. I did this because I liked the content and because I knew I was getting LGBTI content from LGBTI sources. In other words, they weren't a non-gay press exploiting our culture or our news for clickbait during Pride Month. They were authentic.

Unfortunately, they've announced th...

Lil Nas X Allegedly Won't Rap With Pete Buttigieg; Porn Star 'Silas' Dead At 25 Years Old; Ryan Field Books

Lil Nas X Allegedly Won't Rap With Pete Buttigieg

I love Lil Nas X and his music, and not just because he came out as gay last month. I really like what he does. How he identifies, for me, has nothing to do with how much I love his work. 

I also think this was a very smart move on his part. He's a performer and he's interested in entertaining people, not in getting political.

The Daily Beast claims sources revealed Buttigieg had been pitched to recite lyrics via video to Old Town Road as pa...

The 'Twinning Grooms' Story: When Gay Couples Resemble Twins; Queer Eye's Jonathan Was Tormented In School With the Gay F Word; Ryan Field Books

The "Twinning Grooms' Story: When Gay Couples Resemble Twins

This is interesting. I've heard about it before but never really paid much attention to it. I do recall that I once knew a gay couple who dressed alike all the time, and while that was fine for them Tony and I decided a long time ago we would never dress like twins. And we're together more than 25 years now. So it's cute to look like twins and wear the same clothes, but it's not for everyone.

Now, the whole “boyfriend twin” pheno...

Louis Tomlinson, One Direction, and Homophobic Gay References In British Tabloid

There's a much bigger picture with this article that so many people will not understand at a glance, which is sad. It's about shame, disgrace, and all the things that LGBTQ people have had to deal with all their lives. Gay sex or just being gay should not automatically create an image of shame or disgrace. I also want to be clear that I'm not throwing any shade at Tomlinson. He's a victim in this, too.

With that sa...

Jake Gyllenhaal Splains 'Brokeback Mountain,' Again

Although I've never been fond of the way book publishing and Hollywood have always ignored and dismissed openly gay authors and actors, I've never held it against movies like Brokeback Mountain. And this post is not a rant. The world was a very different place when that film (and book) came out and we all thought very differently. Legal same sex marriage was still a far off dream for us. The Bush family still controlled the Republican party a...
