Digital Pride A Huge Success; Letting Your Bulge Breathe; New Yorkers Protest Against Gay Purge In Chechnya
Digital Pride A Huge Success
This is something I've liked from the start. As we all become more digital...whether we like it or not...things like this will only have more of an impact.
We created Digital Pride so anyone around the world – including people who can’t usually access Pride – can take part.
All this week, you’ve been joining us as we celebrate with music, films, art, dancing and culture.
And it can only get better from here.
Here's the rest. Just the impact alone from LGBT d...

Frat Boys and Homophobic Racist Behavior; Racist Sorority Sisters Offending Everyone; UK Dude Rapes 4 Grindr Dates With Spiked Tea
Frat Boys and Homophobic Racist Behavior
This is about the homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic remarks made by the Syracuse University chapter of Theta Tau that was caught on video.
“I solemnly swear to always have hatred in my heart for n*****s, sp*cs, and most importantly, the f*cking k*kes,” one frat boy can be heard pledging in a video to thunderous applause.
The videos also include simulations of oral sex, masturbation, glory holes, and drug use, and cracking homophobic jokes: “Get together an...

How The New York Times Covered Gay Culture and AIDS; HUD Shuts Down Gay Nightclub In Buffalo; Texas Man Uses "Gay Panic" Defense For Killing Neighbor
How The New York Times Covered Gay Culture and AIDS
Actually, they didn't cover either topic very well in the 80s. But no one else did either. I was very young, but even I remember how it was ignored.
The New York Times had a spotty record of covering the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s — and gay culture in general. Times staffers reflect on the paper’s past, and what we can learn from it today.
They go on to discuss what they can do to make it better now. Here's the rest.

LGBT Celebrities Abandon Kanye West; Openly Gay Richard Grenell Makes Gay History; Troye Sivan Lied About Grindr Age, and Older Gay Men
LGBT Celebrities Abandon Kanye West
Here's something that is definitely a sign of the times, especially if you know anything about the way social media works.
West posted pro-Trump tweets and rumors immediately made it appear as if he'd lost one third of his followers...but it was all rumor like most things online.
But because West supports Trump there was backlash, allegedly.
According to Cosmopolitan Australia, a whole host of famous LGBT people and allies have unfollowed West in the...

But this article takes things to a new level. This is about an apology Reid made before these allegedly hacked posts started to surface.

The Homophobic Indiana Pizza Joint That Raised 850K Online Is Out of Business; The Viral Rugby Gay Kiss; He's Gay and Christian
The Homophobic Indiana Pizza Joint That Raised 850K Online Is Out of Business
I posted about this pizza place a few times.
This is the very same place that hit the headlines in 2015 because they said they would never cater a gay wedding back when VP Mike Pence who was the governor of Indiana at the time signed that homophobic religious freedom and restoration act.
This just in: Memories Pizza is officially out of business. A hand-written sign in the front window says the “Christian est...

The Benham Brothers On Teaching Teens BDSM
Apparently, $400,000 of taxpayer money is being spent to teach teens about sex practices like BDSM, and the very conservative Benham brothers are speaking up about it.
“They include ‘a sex-positive view of BDSM’ (uh, that means bondage, dominance, sadomasochism, in case you were wondering) and the mechanics of anal and oral sex, how to masturbate and to question your gender.”“Have we really gotten to this point, America? Teaching a sex-positive v...

Anti-Gay Threats Cause Teacher To Quit; Canada Boosts LGBTI Businesses; Trans Model After Two Years On Testosterone
Anti-Gay Threats Cause Teacher To Quit
Here's a dismal story about a form of hate/discrimination that's still happening today.
So when an excellent, deeply committed visual arts and theater teacher in rural Kansas, where recruitment is especially challenging, feels he has no choice but to leave the state after receiving a series of threatening letters about his sexual orientation, that’s hurtful not only to that man and that community, but also to the whole state’s reputatio...

Confessions From A Gay Sugar Baby
Here's the tale of a gay sugar baby who claims he was only 16 years old and barely legal when he began his lofty quest in life. If nothing else, this definitely could be a good example of why the movie Call Me By Your Name has been so popular with some people. Apparently, there are those who like it young and barely legal.
Yes, you read that correctly, folks. He’s 18 and he’s been “sugaring” for two years, which means he got started around the same time he got...

Max Emerson Calls the Vice President of the United States "Honey"; Hot Young Actor Cast to Play Elton John? Cher Gives Us The Feels For Adam Rippon
Max Emerson Calls the Vice President of the United States "Honey"
This is amusing.
Max Emerson...I had to google who is Max Emerson because I don't know who he is...went to an Indiana pride event and called Vice President Mike Pence, "Honey."
Max Emerson’s mission was simple: Go to Pride, find out who hurt Mike Pence. Someone must have done something to make him turn out this way.
Over 1,000 people braved chilly winds and rain over the weekend to participate in the first-ever Pride fest...
