Zachary Quinto On Accomplished, Successful, Authentic Gay Men; Show "Big Fish" With Two Gay Dads Canceled In Pittsburgh; Lyft Driver Throws Kissing Gay Couple Out
Zachary Quinto On Accomplished, Successful, Authentic Gay Men
I think any openly gay man who's had the courage to live an authentic life can appreciate these comments by Quinto. It's an excerpt from a Vulture piece about the Broadway play, The Boys In the Band.
“I’ve worked really hard to carve out a career that is separate from my identity as a gay man. And there was a part of me that was just like, I want to go in a different direction. I think what this production does is go in the face of h...

Gaspar Noe Defends Male Full Frontal Nudity In Films
I've done so many posts about the lack of male full frontal nudity in films over the years on this blog I can't even remember them all. But here's something where a director actually defends male full frontal nudity and calls the penis a nice part of the body. You don't see anyone admitting that often.
It's an excerpt from a Vanity Fair piece about male sexuality in movies. It's interesting because "they" will do this with fiction, too. There...

The First Bullet Proof Pride Flag: The Pride Shield ; Two Cops, Sex Toys, Sodomy, and Tea-Bagging; Ryan Reynolds Proposes Marriage To A Man
The First Bullet Proof Pride Flag: The Pride Shield
This is more symbolic art than literal fact. But it's a nice concept for a "Pride Shield." There's still a great deal of violence and hate out there.
Fondation Emergence, based in Canada, have come up with an art piece for International Day Against Homophoba, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
‘Searching for a new way to tackle the issue, we stumbled upon a lot of Pride parade images and footage, always coming from the same countries,’ a spok...

No Robber Was Getting HIS Louis Vuitton Bag; Jeff Leatham and Colton Haynes's Divorce Filing; Nico Tortorella Is Gender Fluid
No Robber Was Getting HIS Louis Vuitton Bag
A little over a year ago I had to go to the ER and I was diagnosed with a small kidney stone. It wasn't bad. The pain was awful and uncomfortable, but the stone wasn't that large. My biggest worry was that they were going to keep me and I had a dinner party the following night. And there was no way I was going to miss that dinner party. I'd been looking forward to it all week. So when they gave me instructions on how to pass a kidney stone and sent m...

Gay Boy Bible A New Gay Web Site; Working To Defeat Measure C In Palm Springs, CA; Frankfurt As A Gay Pride Mecca
Gay Boy Bible A New Gay Web Site
I've seen Gay Boy Bible on my Twitter feed for the last few weeks and I wanted to share it.
It's a new LGBTQIA web site with stories about news, politics, fashion, and pop culture. There's a lot more, too. I'm just giving you the abbreviated description.
What I like...from what I've seen so far...is that it's easy to navigate, simple to read, and it covers most things that are of interest to LGBTQIA people. It's still so new there aren't that many ads e...

Scottish Pride Event Bans Drag Queens; Jim Parsons Falls On Broadway Stage; NY Firefighter Forced To Have Sex With Stripper
Scottish Pride Event Bans Drag Queens
Here's something I've never seen happen before, and I've seen my share of Pride events.
Free Pride Glasgow – which was set up as an “anti-commercialist” alternative to the main Pride Glasgow event – made the decision ahead of the event next month, claiming that despite drag being a uniquely celebrated part of most Prides, they would not be welcome to perform at Free Pride.
You can read more about it here. It goes into a lot more detail about "cross-d...

Del Rio's Openly Gay Mayor; The Craigslist Confessional and Mormon Gay Guy; The Reality of Extra Huge Penises
Del Rio's Openly Gay Mayor
There's a fairly decent sized town in South Texas called Del Rio that just elected an openly gay mayor. According to this article there are more LGBT people in Texas interested in running for office. I think that's interesting because recently an older gay man I know in Los Angeles was talking about not going to a literature conference in Texas because he didn't like the way gay people are treated in Texas. It sounded as if this older gay man I know was getting all o...

No One Will Sleep With Gay Republican
If you take into consideration that I know nothing at all about hook up apps, it's no wonder I find things like this interesting. It's a letter written to that Savage guy, and his reply.
Here's part of the letter.
I am a 28-year-old gay white male living in Houston, Texas. In the six years since I came out and became sexually active, I have used various apps off and on, for dating and for sex. I like to think I have done my best to be respectful of the peopl...

British LGBT Award Winners and Justin Trudeau; Lesbian Moms and Their Six Kids Is Likely Suicide; Young Gay Priests In Training Banished to Ireland
British LGBT Award Winners and Justin Trudeau
As far as I know, Justin Trudeau is the only high profile leader in any country who ever apologized to LGBT people for how they've been treated in the past. Most high profile leaders claim they have evolved, but no one ever apologized for anything that's been done to us. I found that apology not only gracious of Trudeau, but genuine as well. After all, we've been beaten, we've been mocked. We've been locked up as insane and put on trial as criminal...

"Sorry Angel" and Gay Life and Dirty Cinemas In 1990s Paris; Lesbian Forced To Remove Offensive Pride Flag; New Hampshire Bans Conversion Therapy For Gay Youth
Sorry Angel and Gay Life and Dirty Cinemas In 1990s Paris
Here's another movie with gay content they're calling a "queer romance" without even knowing what romance as defined by genre means, and without even bothering to understand that many gay men don't identify as "queer."
I don't care what anyone told you in high school. Romeo and Juliet was not a romance.
But I'm not going to judge anything yet. It might be a wonderful film. The only thing I can find about Sorry Angel are those q...
