Pete Buttigieg's Inspiring Speech In DC; Orlando's LGBT Certified Businesses; FREE Gay Excerpt: The Rescuer by Ryan Field

Pete Buttigieg's Inspiring Speech In DC

I'm seeing more about Pete Buttgieg running for President as each day passes, and this looked wonderful. He gave an amazing speech on Sunday at the LGBT Victory Fund in DC, and people are still talking about it.

When I was younger, I would have done anything to not be gay. When I began to halfway realize what it meant, it launched in me something I can only describe as a kind of war. And if the war had been settled on the terms that I would have wished fo...

He Wants To Be A Sexualized Sex Object; Sean Hayes' Gay James Bond Show On Netflix; Pet Rescue and Gay Romance The Rescuer by Ryan Field

He Wants To Be A Sexualized Sex Object

This is great article because it picks up on points that I've been seeing around lately. One of which is the way non-disabled people often refer to disabled people as 'inspiring.'

It's actually an interview with a guy named Andrew Gurza, where Gurza discusses his personal experiences. He came up with the hashtag #DisabledPeopleAreHot and it started to trend.

But I personally don’t like the term inspiring in reference to disability at all, when used by an ab...

"The Rescuer" Gay Romance and Pet Adoption; Pete and Chasten Buttigieg and Other Famous Gay Couples Who Met On Apps; Partially Nude Men In Berlin Based Rugby Club Locker Room

The Rescuer: Gay Romance and Pet Adoption

Even though I've had dogs and other pets as characters in books and stories, I've always wanted to focus on a story line with pet adoption and pet rescue. And I finally got around to doing that with The Rescuer. I think the blurb explains it all, without spoilers, and it shows how important pet rescue has become to all of us. And, there's a happy ending, too.

The book will be available everywhere very soon, but this link is to Smashwords. That's only be...

General Pulaski of Pulaski Skyway May Have Been Trans Man; 'This Is Us' Explores Coming Out As a Teen; Altered Parts by Ryan Field

General Pulaski of Pulaski Skyway May Have Been Trans Man

I've traveled over, and under, the Pulaski Skyway all my life and I never expected to read anything like this. It's a long bridge in northern New Jersey that connects Newark and Jersey City. It's actually an impressing looking bridge, especially when viewed from the New Jersey Turnpike. Frankly, I didn't even know who General Pulaski was at all until I read this article.

An examination of the skeleton of General Casimir Pulaski, a polish...

Somewhat Controversial Gay Mascot of Virgin Atlantic; Homoerotic Heroes of Wonder Con; Real Gay Culture: Tom of Finland Foundation; Altered Parts by Ryan Field

Somewhat Controversial Gay Mascot of Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Atlantic introduced a new image/mascot they're calling "Rain Bow." It's this odd Peter Pan like caricature of a gay man flying through the air, with arms spread wide, limp wrists and toes pointed. He's wearing some sort of skin tight red onesie with a rainbow, and there's a Union Jack flag attached to his shoulders.

The gay mascot’s red outfit also blends into rainbow shorts as a nod to the LGBTQ community. The company plans to display...

Brunei Barbaric New Islamic Stoning Law For Gay Sex; Chicago's First Gay Woman Mayor; Trans Woman Attacked and Humiliated In Paris; Altered Parts by Ryan Field

Brunei Barbaric New Islamic Stoning Law For Gay Sex

Brunei has begun to enforce one of the worst laws against gay people in years. It's so barbaric and so disgusting that it's been condemned almost everywhere on a global level.

The tiny, Muslim-majority kingdom in 2014 became the first East Asian country to introduce Sharia law at a national level. The government introduced the legislation and associated penalties in stages, with the new measures set to begin Wednesday, April 3.

NY Man Caught Shouting Anti-Gay Slurs; Race Car Legend Hurley Haywood Talks About Coming Out at 69; Altered Parts by Ryan Field

NY Man Caught Shouting Anti-Gay Slurs

It seems there's a new story like this almost every day lately. This time it's the manager of a tattoo parlor in New York who shouted slurs at a gay couple.

According to Valarezo and Sokolowski, after shouting the antigay slurs at them, Hoque punched Valarezo in the face then chased Sokolowski out of the store, where he punched him as well.

Here's the rest. According to this, the manager will not be charged with a hate crime. 

Interesting.

Presidential Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Raises $7 Million First Quarter; New Museum: Gay Life In the 1940s on Fire Island; Chechnya Crisis Appeal Raises 12K; Altered Parts A Gay Romance Novel

Presidential Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Raised $7 Million First Quarter

Here's more gay history in the making, and more news about Mayor Pete Buttigieg (pronounced Boot-ajudge) who is the 2nd openly gay man to ever run for President of the United States.

He recently announced that his campaign has raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of 2019, which is amazing and spectacular because this really is a grassroots operation built on hard work and dedication.

“This is a big number for us,” Mr...

America's Notorious Ex-Gay Center: JONAH

Even though it's hard to believe there are still people who believe a gay person can become straight, this is going on.

A lawsuit being referred to as the first of its kind was recently brought up against the organization, JONAH, by former patients. JONAH is short for Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality. They think they can cure gay people.  

It sounds like absolute torture.

Amy Schumer's Dumb Repulsive Gay Jokes; Gay Sex In Brunei Now Punishable with Death by Stoning If Witnessed by a Muslim; Gay Fabulosity; Blissfully Yours by Ryan Field

Amy Schumer's Dumb Repulsive Gay Jokes

I have never been a fan of Amy Schumer's brand of comedy...if you could even call it that. I never found her funny. In fact, I have no idea what other people see in her, or how she even manages to make a living doing comedy. But most of all, what is up with Netflix, and how out of touch are they over there, to give Schumer a comedy special? She's as funny as a brick.

And now she's being called out for dumb repulsive gay jokes. It's pretty bad.

Schumer also...
