The History of the Word "Gay"; Gay Couple Stabbed For Holding Hands; Antarctica Gets Pride Celebration
The History of the Word Gay
There's a headline making the rounds this week that suggests there was a time when the word gay stopped meaning "happy" and started to mean "same sex relationships," and it's not totally correct. It's just clickbait to advertise something dumb (fake news), and it makes light of something that is fundamental to gay culture. The word gay is not just about same sex relationships. That's only part of it.
So here's the most basic definition. This is always what the...

Kathy Griffin Is Hoping For A US Comeback Tour; Matchmaker Helping Gay Farmers Hook Up; Trans Man Wins Mr. Gay Denmark
Kathy Griffin Is Hoping For A US Comeback Tour
I'm not totally sure if this is a real interview, or if it's an advertorial promoting Kathy Griffin's newest tour, Laugh Your Head Off. Frankly, I don't care. I was never her biggest fan, and I never will be. Not even when she was on Fashion Police. And that had nothing at all to do with the whole Trump/head thing on the Internet.
With that said, I'm linking to this because I'm curious to see how she will be received in the US after what happened w...

Grindr Goes Down and Gay Twitter Explodes; George Takei Wishes Accuser Peace; People In US Identifying As LGBT Hits Record High
Grindr Goes Down and Gay Twitter Explodes
This is amusing.
In the wee early hours of May 22, Grindr unexpectedly went down. Many users couldn’t log on. Naturally, they had a meltdown.
You can check out some of the tweets here.
One user compared it to the apocalypse.
George Takei Wishes Accuser Peace
The person who accused George Takei of a sexual assault that allegedly happened many years ago has back tracked...completely. One of the things he said is that it may have been a "misu...

Abortion and Gay Marriage are Two VERY Different Issues; 13 Reasons Why Review, and Why It Fails; Out Candidate Michael Aycox
Abortion and Gay Marriage Are Two VERY Different Issues
This isn't about whether or not someone supports pro-choice or abortion. I don't weigh in on topics like that here. This is about comparing gay marriage to abortion. That's as far as it goes.
The issue of abortion came up recently in Ireland and I've seen a lot of people comparing gay marriage to abortion, again. They always do this. But the problem is that comparing the two is actually an insult to all gay people, not to mention the fact...

Retro Gay Porn: Sgt. Swann's Private Files; You Tube's Philanthropist "MrBeast" and Homophobia; The Latest On John Travolta
Retro Gay Porn: Sgt Swann's Private Files and Dirk Yates
This post is SFW, and I keep this web site PG Rated at all times, but sometimes I like to link to things like this that are NSFW...so you've been warned.
The Sgt. Swann Videos from the 80s are classic gay adult entertainment, and worth checking out if you've never seen them. From a pop cultural POV, this is the sort of thing that was part of the golden years of gay porn. I missed all that and I find it fascinating.

What Is MeWe About? Gay Adult Film Company and Smear Campaign; Mansplaining Harassment To Jessica Walter; Nico Tortorella's Gender Neutral Makeover
What Is MeWe About?
The web site, MeWe.com, is billing itself as "The Next-Gen Social Network." From what I gather, it's something like Facebook, but not exactly. I don't know much about it, and I doubt I'll be doing anything there soon. I just thought I'd pass the info on for anyone who might be interested.
MeWe is the world’s private communication network. We turn the table on Facebook and other social media companies with a revolutionary service that emphasizes privacy and social sharing whe...

13 Reasons Why Graphic Male Rape Scene; David Grimm Wins Landmark Trans Bathroom Case; Gay Porn Actor Found Guilty In Revenge Porn Case
13 Reasons Why Graphic Male Rape Scene
I haven't started watching the second season of 13 Reasons Why, so this is news to me. But I did a few posts last year about season 1, and one of those posts got into some of the backlash the show received about teen suicide. In fact, if you do a simple search for "backlash 13 Reasons Why," you'll find quite a bit of information.
It looks as if they're at it again this season, and this time the controversy is with male rape.

Kendrick Lamar and the "N" Word; Hackers Interrupt Live Political Debate With Gay Porn; Drag Race Contestant and Online Sexual Harassment; Pulse Nightclub Two Year Mark
Kendrick Lamar and the "N" Word
This story has been making the rounds on social media all week and I wanted to link to something that explains it a little better than most of the things I've seen. Of course there will be people who don't understand why it was wrong for the woman to use the "N" word, but I think this article explains things a little more clearly than most. From what I've seen the majority of headlines have been pure clickbait, and that's a shame because this topic goes a lot de...

Gay Men Taking Pride In Their Homes: Brian Justin Crum and Samer Fawaz
I like this article because it shows how some gay men live, in a different way than you normally see in the news.
Out musician Brian Justin Crum and beauty talent manager Samer Fawaz hit it off quickly, and the fairly new couple has wasted no time in piecing together their ideal home.The design-conscious duo recently paired up with photographer David Zimmerman for a photo shoot to christen their gorgeous 1920s Spanish-style...

They are claiming this could replace men altogether.
One of the companies that creates realistic love dolls is “Real Doll”. It is definite that they are starting with the creation of the male love dolls as well. Oh, and don’t worry, you can use these male love dolls as long as you want; you just need to be sure their battery is fully charged.Using the high-tech tools, the creators of the male love dolls decided to make them as real as your living partner....
