Mika Brzezinski's Homophobic Word
I haven't seen this story reported yet in any of the gay presses, which is surprising. They're usually on top of this kind of thing. Maybe they missed it.
Mika Brzezinski is facing growing backlash - including criticism from President Donald Trump - after calling Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a "wannabe dictator's butt boy" Wednesday during a segment of "Morning Joe."
You can read the rest, here. Of course she tried to do damage control with the expected quasi...

He Ate A Lot More To Become A Gay Bear
The bear reference with this will pass most straight people by, but I find it interesting. Bear culture is a huge part of gay culture.
A guy who had almost the perfect body decided he wanted to change that, so he ate a lot more food and turned himself into a gay bear.
“My weight gain was on purpose. I used to strive to be a huge muscled dude with abs. I started lifting weights in 2012 and worked hard at lifting and counting calories and macros for a few yea...

Museum Acquires Glory Hole Exhibit
I find this fascinating. Partly because I never thought I'd see anything like this in a museum, and partly because I actually think it belongs there.
The Western Australian Museum in Perth, Australia now has a glory hole that was donated by a man named Neil Buckley from Perth.
Neil Buckley, a man from Perth, donated the door to the museum. The door comes from a train station toilet door. Buckley saved and acquired the door in 1998 when the city...

Gay Comedians Speak About Nick Cannon Calling Out Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman
Here's an article where gay comedians discuss how they feel about several straight women comedians who are well known for their homophobic tweets and posts on social media. The whole discussion is a result of backlash from the Kevin Hart situation. After Hart stepped down from hosting the Oscars because of homophobic tweets he's made in the past, Nick Cannon called out a few straight women comedians for doing the...

Ricky Martin and Cultural Appropriation; Male Actors Share #MeToo Stories; David Williams Wants Same Sex Dance Pairing
Ricky Martin and Cultural Appropriation
This weekend I received edits back from my publisher for a book that I wrote about 10 years ago. The publisher wants to re-release the book now, and we're doing a new cover and we went through the entire book to see if anything had to be revised. There were hardly any changes made, but one of the changes is very interesting.
The copy editor asked me to change, "Orient," to "Asia," because they claim using the term, "The Orient," is now considered ra...

Nude Artistic Photos of Extra Large Naked Men
I believe this to be SFW. It's more artistic than anything else, and there's no full frontal nudity. It's meant to be a project that promotes positive body images. The photographer is calling it "Arrested Movement."
‘The majority of their answers were the same: This series wasn’t erotic or exploitive. It was an artistic narrative of self-love and self empowerment, it was something completely out of their comfort zone, and they believed the message b...

Social Media Star Drops Facebook For Demonizing Sexuality; Kevin Hart Steps Down From Oscars; AfterEllen's Alleged Transphobic Tweets
Social Media Star Drops Facebook For Demonizing Sexuality
I've seen authors who dropped Facebook long before this guy did it. They were not happy with the way Facebook treats LGBT people. They've always gone to other social media venues that are relatively obscure, and they've tried to get people to follow them. But it never works. Facebook still rules and people don't follow them. So I'm curious to see if dropping Facebook works out for this guy. Maybe it's a new trend.

Tom Haynes Wants the Word "Faggot" Banned From a Song; Facebook Bans Common Gay Jargon; Bisexual People Are Most Likely To Be Liberal
Tom Haynes Wants the Word "Faggot" Banned From a Song
One of the most interesting things about this story for me was when I saw straight people all over social media telling gay people how they shouldn't be offended by the word "faggot."
A young editor, Tom Haynes, wrote a piece about a popular song that contains the word "faggot." He believes it's homophobic and compares it to the N word. Of course I agree with him. However, you should see the straight people defending it. You'd think someone...

Gay Men Playing Gay Roles: Gay TV Series After Forever
I remember posting about this series, After Forever, a while ago, and I finally had a chance to see it.
I liked it for many reasons, one of which is that it explores the relationship of a gay couple who have been in a long term relationship and they are forced to face one of the worst realities of life.
I should add that it's not always totally realistic, but it's not far off the mark. It's kind of like a m/m romance novel turned i...
