Gay Teachers Coming Out: Risky Business; More Gay Characters On TV; Gay China Gets Louder and Revolts
Gay Teachers Coming Out: Risky Business
You wouldn't think it, but it's still not perfectly safe for teachers to come out as gay. Here's an interesting article from the Chicago Tribune that goes into more detail.
Bigham was a special-education teacher for the Multnomah Education Service District in Portland and had recently been named the state’s teacher of the year when he mentioned his then-partner, now-husband, in a speech before the state school board.What followed, Bigham said, was a casca...

Why I Loved"Love, Simon"; Nico Tortorella Describes His Penis; High School Football Player and His Boyfriend Show Prom Pics; 22 Yr Old Gay Adult Performer Hospitalized
Why I Loved Love, Simon
I finally had a chance to see the movie, Love, Simon, and I just wanted to comment quickly. No spoilers.
Someone got this one right. It was the quickest couple of hours I've spent watching anything in a long time.
There was nothing political about it. There were no stereotypes. There were no activists marching and no one was refusing to bake a wedding cake. There were no elitists telling us how we should feel, or telling us what we should do. And most of all, I...

Poland's First Openly Gay Mayor Running For President
Here's something interesting on the global front. Poland's first openly gay mayor is thinking about running for President.
Even though the election is a few years away, recent polls show one in every four Poles is willing to vote for Biedroń. This is a remarkable achievement in a country where between 50 and 70% of people do not approve of same-sex relationships.
Here's the rest.

Black Panther Actor and Gay Porn Background; Gay Orgies and the Hook Up Scene; Gay Brexit Whistleblower Wants To Sue For Being Outed
Black Panther
Actor and Gay Porn Background
I still haven't seen Black Panther, but I will. And this piece of news about one of the actors being in gay porn only makes it sound more interesting. Unfortunately, this actor went out of his way to slam and shame the porn industry.
In a statement put out by his publicist, Larissa Long of BlueRed Communications, Mutukwa took about as sex-negative a stance on his past as possible, calling it “unsavory,” an “errored decision,” and “immature behavior.”

I Stand With Trans Activists Who Are Boycotting Matt Bomer's Film, Anything; LGBT Conversion Therapy Being Phased Out In US; Reality TV Star On Conversion Therapy
I Stand With Trans Activists Who Are Boycotting Matt Bomer's Film, Anything
In this particular case, I have to support all trans people who are boycotting this new Matt Bomer movie titled, Anything. Even though I'm not a trans person, I don't like what's happening here either. But more than that, I'm sick and tired of seeing these things happen all the time.
However, many trans people and allies are urging a boycott of the film, as it’s yet again featuring a cis male actor as a trans woman. Thi...

Preserving Historic Glory Holes; Straight White Politician Thinks He's A Gay Black Man; When A Cop Moonlights As A Hooker
Preserving Historic Glory Holes
There's a sex shop in Atlanta that's allegedly violating zoning laws and some people want to close it down. But not everyone wants to close it down. Some believe this is part of gay culture.
I do think we should save Tokyo Valentino. We should preserve this sex store because we need seedy businesses in Atlanta. There will always be a need for spaces where suburban men can come and have anonymous sex. Drugs and hustlers are part of our capitalist ecosystem, and it...

The Huge Blue Penis In Stockholm
Here's more from the artist who painted a penis in New York not too long ago. I posted about that one, here.
The penis, complete with bulging veins, appeared on the side of a Stockholm apartment block on Wednesday to the shock of residents.
You can read more, here. The penis in New York only lasted a few days, but this one is supposed to be up for a couple of weeks before they paint over it so people who love penis art can go there an appreciate it.

Normal Gay Kids Not Allowed To Be Prom Kings; Illinois Will Teach LGBT History; Senator Doug Jones's Gay Son Inspires Him
Normal Gay Kids Not Allowed To Be Prom Kings
Here's another reason why I'm not fond of the movie, Call Me By Your Name. Here are two normal gay kids in a relationship, they're both the same age, and they are being denied the same things straight kids get in high school. And while Hollywood is praising and giving awards to a movie with a dysfunctional relationship where a barely legal gay kid gets involved in a sexual relationship with an older man, this story about these gay kids who just...

LA Prosecutors and Kevin Spacey Case; Gay Couple Turned Away From UK Straight Bar; Gus Kenworthy's Boyfriend and an Excellent Video With A Porn Star
LA Prosecutors and Kevin Spacey Case
Whenever I post about something like this I try to urge people to consider the fact that in the US we are all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles are reviewing a sex crimes case against Kevin Spacey.According to NBC, the sherriff’s department first submitted the case on 5 April. Now, the District Attorney’s Office’s Sex Crimes Task Force is reviewing the case for it to potentially move forward.

Gay Attacks NOT Covered By West Virginia Hate Crime Law; BBC Video Brings Gay People To Tears; Gay Couple Violently Attacked At Miami Beach Gay Pride
Gay Attacks NOT Covered By West Virginia Hate Crime Law
The violent attacks against gay people continue. If anyone out there still thinks there isn't a lot more work to do, check this out.
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled this week that anti-gay attacks cannot be prosecuted under the state’s hate crime law, a decision that activists said diverged from recent outcomes in gay and transgender rights cases. The ruling clears the way for a college athlete accused of assaulting two ga...
