"Sense 8" Series Finale; Call Me Maybe Star Didn't Want To Kiss A Guy; Netflix's Gay Alex Strangelove
"Sense 8" Series Finale
Netflix's unique series, Sense 8, has a series finale out now that wraps up the entire show. It's one of the most unusual shows I've ever seen because it covers a lot of ground with respect to LGBT people. From what I recall, the only reason why there is a series finale is because there was so much outrage when the show was cancelled. Count me among the outraged.

FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt Ryan Field; Scotland Pardons Gay Men; CrossFit Exec Fired For Calling LGBTQ Events A Sin; Hollywood and Los Angeles Pride
Scotland Pardons Gay Men
Here's another story about something terribly wrong that was done to gay people for many years. It's hard to believe they treated us this way, but they did.
Scotland has passed a law that will pardon gay men convicted for having consensual sex before such acts were decriminalized.
Here's more. They go into a lot more detail, and they get into the Alan Turing story. They also mention that gay sex was a crime in Scotland until 1981.
There should be more public apologies for...

CrossFit Cancels "Pride Workout" For God; Netflix Binge Watch: "Sensitive Skin" With Kim Cattrall; Colton Haynes Naked and Covered With Paint
CrossFit Cancels "Pride Workout" For God
Although I'm not a huge fan of the concept of CrossFit myself, I have a family member who owns a CrossFit affiliation (You're not allowed to buy a CrossFit "franchise." They call it an "Affiliation") and I thought this article was interesting. I do cardio every morning, and I work out with weights in the evening, and the mindset that goes along with CrossFit was never for me.
With that said, an Indiana CrossFit canceled a Pride Workout for this rea...

HBO Boycott, TV Show Hung, and Male Full Frontal Nudity; Kate Spade's Suicide Note To Daughter; Long Term HIV Survivors and Longevity
HBO Boycott, TV Show HUNG, and Male Full Frontal Nudity
I've been posting about the lack of male full frontal nudity in all films and TV for a long time, and I know I'm not the only one who wonders about the double standard. So here's an interesting tongue in cheek piece on the topic.
In a new video, the women raise some totally valid points, starting with the countless number of HBO shows featuring naked women in brothels compared with the very few instances of men in their birthday suits.“You...

SCOTUS Rules On Anti-Gay Bakers Who Discriminate
Today SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple several years ago. It's been an ongoing case that never seems to end, I've seen more than my share of conservatives "splaining" why it's okay for a business owner to discriminate against people, and I've seen more than my share of arguing over it.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the court's decision against the same-sex couple, Charlie Craig a...

Olly Alexander and Marijuana Butt Lube; Hanging Out In Your Underwear; Bryan Colangelo: The Mainstream Learns About Fake Twitter Accounts and Sock Puppets
Olly Alexander and Marijuana Butt Lube
This is about as dumb as the title sounds, but it's funny, too. Olly Alexander gave an interview with Out, and this is part of what he said.
What’s great about being gay is that you can celebrate all types of sexualities, because we understand that being queer means you might also be gender nonconforming or bi or whatever. For straight people it’s just, ‘I sleep with the opposite sex.’
Here's more, with comments. Apparently, not everyone in the...

Trump and Pride Month; Preacher Wants Gays Executed Humanely; MNEK's New Gay Anthem
Trump Ignores Pride Month
I'm mainly linking to this one so you can check out the comments at the end of this article. I think they show how divided people are these days.
While the Democrats issued a public statement to celebrate LGBTQ pride month, the Trump administration pointedly ignored the community in favor of other proclamations – like National Ocean Month.

World Gay Otter Day Stuns Them; Transgender Student In Rancho Mirage Shows "True Colors"; A Gay Gag-worthy Photo Shoot; First Trans Man Andrew Christian Model
World Gay Otter Day Stuns Them
You should have seen the straight people on social media scratching their heads on World Otter Day this Wednesday. And I'm not talking about right wing homophobic conservatives who hate us already. I'm talking about the left wing liberals who think they know everything there is to know about being gay, and they can't wait to "splain" it to us.
Of course the term "otter" is used so often in gay culture gay people couldn't resist using it with a #WorldOt...

Psychiatrist Compares Gay Sex To Orgasm After Sniffing Underwear
It's hard to believe that a doctor would say something like this, but it happened in Ghana and I've seen it trending in several places. This all came about because activists in Ghana are calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality and not everyone is on board with that.
Osei but also picked the fetish of sniffing underwear to compare gay sex to, an act that has amused activists.
