Remembering America's Male 'Hooters' Called 'Tallywackers'; Is the Struggle For Gay Rights Over? Priest Celebrates 'Pride Mass'

Remembering America's Male 'Hooters' Called 'Tallywackers' 

Up until now I didn't even know there was a place called 'Tallywackers.' Apparently, it was the male version of Hooters.

 “What if Hooters, but with dudes?” is a thing that existed, shirtless and in the flesh, in Texas. In the spirit of “breastaurants” like Hooters and Twin Peaks, it was named Tallywackers

Here's the link for more. Basically, it was a restaurant where hot men wearing nothing but their underwear served customer...

11 Gay, Bi, or Trans Actors Would Be Great As Prince Eric In Little Mermaid

I'm going to start posting stories like this whenever I see them. Part of, though not all, the problem with straight actors playing gay all the time is that there are never enough parts in general for openly gay actors. So this works for me.

So here’s a list of gay, bisexual, trans, queer, non-binary and gender fluid actors who could play Ariel’s romantic partner in The Little Mermaid.

You can check the list out here.&nb...

When Companies Take Down Pride Logos In July

Here's a piece that discusses whether or not we should be upset when companies...almost everyone straight...take down their Pride logos on July 1. And this isn't a new topic. I've heard this being discussed here in New Hope, PA where I live for years.

This is actually from one of those Reddit threads.

Said another: “The issue is not changing back the logos. It’s its consequences. If I’m a f*cking homophobe all year, I do business with homophobes, sell...

50% Off Sale Christmas In July At Riverdale Ave Books


The concept of Christmas in July isn't new, but this year it seems to have taken off with a proverbial vengeance. Hallmark is doing Christmas in July with romance movies, and I've even seen local bars having Christmas in July parties.

So I love that Riverdale Ave Books is doing this with books. Even though I have a lot of published books out there, I don't have many Christmas books. But one of those Christmas books was published with Riverda...

France Tackles Online Homophobia

Here's a story on the global front where French lawmakers talk about online homophobia. It see it all the time. Sometimes the homophobia is aggressive, and other times it's passive aggressive. But it's everywhere online.

The French Parliament will start debating a bill on online hate speech and harassment tomorrow (3 July) that could see tech companies clamp down on homophobia.

Examining Euphoria's Male Full Frontal Nudity

I've never actually seen the HBO show, Euphoria, but I'm going to look for it. Apparently, there's male full frontal, and there's plenty of it.

This Sunday’s hour (10/9c) features a bunch more male nether regions unencumbered by clothing, and I — in a decidedly non-prurient way — am here for it.

Here's a link to more. All this male full frontal is being treated rather casually. 

Update: I actually write these posts a day earlier so I to...

FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt: A STARR IS BORN

In honor of Pride 2019, I'm posting one more excerpt from my newest release, A STARR IS BORN. Of course I'll continue to post free excerpts all year long, but not as often as I have been during Pride Month.

Here's a link to Amazon, and here's the excerpt, below.

Jake Gyllenhaal Reflects On Playing Gay Face In 'Brokeback Mountain'

Back when straight actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, played gay face in the film, Brokeback Mountain, there were very few openly gay actors around that could play gay roles. It was a completely different world for LGBTQ people. For one thing legal same sex marriage wasn't even part of the discussion for most people. Even the story, Brokeback Mountain, was written by a straight woman from a straight POV. Very few openly gay authors ever...

Brand New Release: A STARR IS BORN On Sale Now

Here's my new release, A STARR IS BORN. The blurb below explains the book nicely. It's a quirky LGBTQ book that explores gender and how one gay man identifies. It's not about a trans woman. This is about a gay man who's breaking a few gender stereotypes, and who just wants to fit into this world. All I can say is this character is different.

It's also on sale right now, until the end of the month at the publisher's web site...with the promo co...

Boston's Straight Pride Parade With Milo Yiannopoulos As Grand Marshall

Because having straight white privilege every single day of your life just isn't enough. You need one more extra day to celebrate your straight privilege.

But according to this article, the really amusing part of this is that Milo Yiannopoulos will be the Grand Marshal. Yes. He will be the grand Marshall of the straight pride parade. You can't make this up.

The apparently serious organizers of a “Straight Pride Parade”...
