Review: Netflix's LGBT Horror Film "The Perfection" and Misogyny; The Boy Band Project's Brand New Single; Ryan Field Books
Netflix's LGBT Horror Film The Perfection and Misogyny
I haven't seen The Perfection yet so I can't comment, but I haven't been too impressed by anything from Netflix...in general...lately. I actually dread going through the list of what's available. It takes forever just to browse, and could they make the plot descriptions anymore idiotic? Who writes these plot descriptions? Toddlers? I've been writing fiction for many years and one of the things authors take seriously is giving good sh...

Aaron Schock's Leaked Clothes-Free Selfies
It looks as if they're still going after Aaron Schock, and I honestly don't see the fascination. A certain segment in the gay media simply cannot get enough Aaron Schock news. This time it's about recently leaked selfies.
According to this link...
Aaron Schock’s public outing continues this morning with a series of clothes-free sexts courtesy of the site Kenneth in the 212. We assume it’s safe to say that his political career is pretty m...

Britten-Pears Foundation Won't Erase Gay History; Xavier Dolan Is Tired of the Label "Gay" Ryan Field Books
Britten-Pears Foundation Won't Erase Gay History
The Britten-Pears foundation is merging with Snape Maltings. As a result, they wanted to change the name to The Benjamin Britten Foundation. Benjamin Britten was a well known composer/musician in the UK who had a lifelong partner, a tenor named Peter Pears. If the name change had happened it would have meant erasing their lifelong same sex relationship, not to mention erasing Pears altogether. Thanks to an online petition, the name will remain t...

Ian McKellen's 79th Birthday At Berlin Sex Club; Support for Gay Rights in Russia Reaches All Time High; Laws That Criminalize Gay Sex In Kenya; Ryan Field Books
Ian McKellen's 80th Birthday At Berlin Sex Club
Who doesn't love Ian McKellen? I don't know anyone.
The man we all aspire to be when we’re older, Sir Ian McKellen, turns 80–80!–today and to celebrate, some of his closest friends are sharing their fondest memories of the beloved Hollywood icon.
You can check this out, here. There are some great photos as well. I would love to see another classic McKellen film along the lines of Gods and Monsters.

IKEA's New Rainbow Pride Bag; Latest Interview With Steve Grand About Key West; Ryan Field Books
IKEA's New Rainbow Pride Bag
Everyone seems to be celebrating Pride and Pride events this time of year. Where I live, in New Hope, PA, we have a Pride weekend and all the rainbow flags come out once a year for Pride in hopes that all the non-gay owned and operated businesses will have a chance to cash in on the gay dollar, too. Pride has become a huge money-making gimmick for everyone, so you can't really blame IKEA for coming up with this idea.
To further show our commitment to equality...

Calvin Klein Apologizes For Queer-baiting with a Non-Gay Model; Mormon Republican Politician Comes Out As Gay; Ryan Field Books
Calvin Klein Apologizes for Queer-baiting with a Non-Gay Model
I haven't seen the ad yet, but apparently the Calvin Klein brand has been accused of queer-baiting in an ad and they issued an apology.
I like this one because LGBT rights supporters are calling the brand out for using a model who identifies as heteronormative and not as openly gay.
This has led to accusations of ‘queerbaiting’ online. The term describes what are essentially marketing gimmicks superficial portrayals of LGBTI cu...

Taron Egerton Talks About Playing Gay Face Again
This is amusing, and sometimes in life you have to have a sense of humor. In what appears to be an attempt to prove that he can play a gay character well, straight actor, Taron Egerton, went to the premiere of Rocketman fully armed with his two gay friends.
‘I have two friends who have come down from Wales who are staying in my flat right at this moment for the premier tomorrow, who are both gay. They’re staying in my spare room. They’re not...

Alan Turing's Tortured Gay Life; John Barrowman On Closeted Gay Athletes Who Should Come Out; David Furnish Comments On 'Rocketman'
Alan Turing's Tortured Gay Life
Here's something about the difficult life of Alan Turing, a 'homosexual' math genius who's finally been credited for saving the world during World War II.
The story of Alan Turing is one of the most disgraceful episodes of modern civilization. A man who should have been a hero of the free world and idolized next to Einstein and Newton in the history books was instead hounded to death because of religion-inspired homophobia.
You can read the rest here.&nb...

"Situational Homosexuality" In Boarding Schools; Gay Nurse Films Mamma Mia Parody; Gay for Pay Porn Star and Child Porn Charges
"Situational Homosexuality" In Boarding Schools
This is something new to a lot of people. A filmmaker came up with the term Situational Homosexuality, which is basically sex between two men who don't necessarily identify as gay. This is purely about sex, not gay culture.
“There’s something about a lot of males in a confined space,” he said. “Something about the improvised physical fabric, which is all higgledy-piggledy. And then — I hesitate to say this — a certain level of situational homosexu...

Here's some history being made on the global front, and it should be applauded. I hope we see more people coming out this way now.
Indian sprinter Dutee Chand has revealed she is in a same-sex relationship, the first sportsperson in India to openly acknowledge being gay.
You can read it all, here. I like the way these stories are now making mainstream news.
