Matt Bomer In Papi Chulo

This looks good. I don't think I've seen Matt Bomer in anything for a while.

At long last, the trailer has arrived for the much-anticipated John Butler comedy Papi Chulo, starring Matt Bomer.

Here's the link. 


10 Reasons To Go To Palm Springs

I love the desert. We have a condo in Palm Springs that we rent out to guests during the height of the season, and we go in the off season when all the tourists are gone. It's usually the hottest time of the year, too,...

Straight Male Author Andre Acimen's Gay Call Me By Your Name Sequel

The straight male author who wrote gay content in the novel, Call Me By Your Name, which is a story that celebrates and normalizes the sexual relationship between an innocent 17 year old gay boy and a 24 year old straight man, has just announced he's writing even more gay content with a sequel titled, Find Me.

In March, Aciman confirmed that he was finishing work on a followup to his 2007 novel. Speaking to , h...

Male Full Frontal Nudity Before Chris Pine

The topic of male full frontal nudity, and the double standards in films, continues to amaze some people. And so far nothing seems to be changing any time soon.

As Chris Pine has very Chris-ly pointed out during the press tour leading up to the release of Netflix’s Outlaw King, there is still a major double standard when it comes to nudity on screen...

I totally agree with Pine. The article goes into more detail about male full frontal in general....

Brunei On Death Penalty For Gay Sex

After a good deal of world wide condemnation, Brunei is now claiming it will not enforce the death penalty for gay sex.

Now, the nation’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has backtracked. He stated that the death penalty would not be enforced in the implementation of the Syariah Penal Code Order (SPCO).

Of course this is a very minor improvement for LGBTQ people in Brunei, however, it still doesn't take away from the fact that Sharia Law is absolutely despicable with r...

Facebook, Censorship, and Free Speech; Singaporean Singer Wils Come Out; LGBTI Star Wars Fans; The Rescuer by Ryan Field

Facebook, Censorship, and Free Speech

I've seen many articles and posts about Facebook's most recent attempt to censor, but this article seems to cover the entire free speech issue well. It's not about politics or how you feel. This is truly about the concept of free speech.

The issue is much simpler: Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg and the other young lords of Silicon Valley to be good stewards of the world’s digital speech?

I think what bothers me the most is that social media takes it upon thems...

Taron Egerton Playing Gay and Elton John's "Rocket Man" Trailer

Here's a link to a trailer for "Rocket Man." A straight actor named Taron Egerton will be playing gay face as Elton John. And I'm sure it will be promoted far and wide to a mainstream audience. The publicity machine is calling it "Rocketman Mania." I have no idea how popular this film will be, but I don't plan to see it. I'm only linking now because I'm sure other people will be interested.

With Rocket Man mania less than...

Daniel Franzese On Homophobia In Hollywood; The Gay Avengers: Endgame Character Failed; The Phrase "That's So Gay" Doesn't Work Anymore

Daniel Franzese On Homophobia In Hollywood

Here's something about how coming out as gay almost ruined Daniel Franzese's career in Hollywood. 

“I had become famous for playing one thing, but Hollywood, a very What-Have-You-Done-For-Me-Lately town, just didn’t think my talent could go beyond that,” he says. 

Part of the problem is there are never enough gay characters for gay actors to play. There's very little diversity in that sense. I see it in publishing all the time, too. And most o...

Gay Porn Star Casey Jacks Dead At 29; Marvel Adding More LGBTQ Characters; 70% of Voters Would Vote For a Gay President

Gay Porn Star Casey Jacks Dead At 29

Here's another sad story of a gay porn star dying much too young. Casey Jacks' agent confirmed the announcement via Twitter.

Crisco said: ‘It’s with a very heavy (heart) that I write this. Casey Jacks passed away yesterday. His brother just confirmed the news.

Here's a link to read more. There's no cause of death at this time, and of course people are speculating, because that's what people do. They speculate without knowing the facts. The article gets into m...

Star Athlete Comes Out As Gay, and Then Comes Out As Straight; Making London's Gay Scene Happier; The Rescuer by Ryan Field

Star Athlete Comes Out As Gay, and Then Comes Out As Straight

Here's one you don't see every day.

A cricket star named James Faulkner allegedly came out as gay on his birthday on Instagram, and then he claimed he made a mistake and clarified that he's straight.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding about my post from last night, I am not gay, however it has been fantastic to see the support from and for the LBGT community. Let’s never forget love is love, however @robjubbsta is just a great frie...

International Mr. Leather and Condomless Sex Ban; Christian Mom Schools Gay Dad and Gets a Surprise; The Rescuer by Ryan Field

International Mr. Leather and Condomless Sex Ban

About 10 years ago there was a huge discussion in the gay erotic romance genre about whether or not characters should use condoms in sex scenes. It could become highly charged with emotion at times. Some believed it was fiction and escapism, so there was no need for condoms. Others believed it was important for all characters to use condoms during sex. Up until recently, I never once wrote a book or story where a character had sex without a cond...
