Gay Sailor's Big Homecoming Kiss Backlash; Madonna's Surprise NYE Performance At Stonewall; Ricky Martin's New Baby
Gay Sailor's Big Homecoming Kiss Backlash
A gay sailor kissed his husband in public after a 7 month deployment, and it didn't take long for the backlash to start.
It's some kind of ceremonial kiss that sailor's win from their spouses, and this kiss in particular was reminiscent of the famous V-J Day kiss in Time's Square in the 1940s.
But immediately after the kiss aired on WJXT, viewers began to call in and write angry letters about showing a photo of a gay couple.

Don't Pay Attention to 2019 Publishing Predictions
I came across one of those ambitious author/bloggers this weekend who posted a lot of drivel about publishing predictions for 2019. It's always drivel.
No one can predict what's going to happen in publishing in 2019 or any other year.
No one predicted Fifty Shades of Grey and look what happened there. So don't pay much attention to these posts.
Don't waste your time, especially if you're a new author and just starting out.

Ab Fab's June Whitfield Dies
This was sad to read.
One of the main stars of the British sit-com, Absolutely Fabulous, passed on suddenly at the age of 93. Dame June Whitfield was well known by everyone, and her career spanned several decades. I loved her.
Here's more. It's a nice tribute to her, with a lot more back story, and some photos.

Man's Penis Gets Stuck In Ball Bearing
Here's an interesting story about how firefighters came to the rescue.
A man from the Polish town of Świnoujście went to the hospital with an extraordinary problem: he had his penis stuck inside a car’s ball bearing, using it as an “unconventional sex toy”, Ladbible reported.
Here's the link.

How Tabloids Treated Gay Men 30 Years Ago; 5 Actors Who Came Out In 2018; Beaten for Gay Sex In a Car In Malaysia
How Tabloids Treated Gay Men 30 Years Ago
The link shows degrading, discriminatory headlines from tabloids 30 years ago, proving that we've not only earned rights like legal same sex marriage, but we've earned the right to have our wedding cakes baked anywhere, without discrimination. And, without commentary from people who have no idea what it was like.
The outbreak of AIDS gave the tabloid media an incentive to further demonise gay and bisexual men in Britain.

Adam Lambert Sings 'Believe'; The Zakar Twins' Sexual Escapades; Dunkirk Who Transitioned At 70 Dies At 99
Adam Lambert Sings 'Believe'
I normally don't click links to things like this because they always sound like pushy PR pieces, however, this was different.
Adam Lambert left the whole room in tears with his emotional cover of Cher’s “Believe” performed at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors, which aired last night on CBS.
You can check this out, here. There's a video and it's excellent.

Ireland's Gay Leader Likes Donald Trump; 80 Year Old Priest Back With Young Boyfriend; Breakthrough In HIV Research
Ireland's Gay Leader Likes Donald Trump
On the global front, Leo Varadkar is an openly gay leader in Ireland who's gained a good deal of respect over the past few years.
The Irish prime minister, or Taoiseach, said US President, Donald Trump, is more ‘personable’ than he thought he would be. But he wants to challenge Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, over his discrimination of LGBTI people.
He also has very nice, positive things to say about Hillary Clinton. His comment about how public opinion is...

Philadelphia Eagles Fans Go To Gay Leather Bar by Mistake; 9 Queer Christmas Songs; Apple Pulls Anti-Gay App
Philadelphia Eagles Fans Go To Gay Leather Bar by Mistake
This is amusing. During the super bowl last year a group of Philadelphia Eagles fans apparently thought they'd found a bar in Minneapolis devoted to their football team because of the bar's name, but the bar is really a gay leather bar.
The point is, the large group filled up the bar, which is decidedly not a sports bar devoted to the Eagles, but is instead a gay bar catering to a leather crowd.
Here's a link. Wait until you see...

Homophobic Landlady Wants Tenant To Move
Here's an example of what LGBT people are still facing today.
A gay man in Florida recorded his landlady demanding he move out of her apartment. He says she turned unwelcoming after learning about his sexuality. The relationship broke down just days after he moved in.
Here's the link. You can watch the video, too. I hope he gets a good attorney.
