Call Me By Your Name and White, Straight Privilege; ALL GAY Cast of Boys In the Band; James Franco Is No Weinstein

Call Me By Your Name and White Straight Privilege

I've posted about the barely legal 17 year old boy angle that has garnered criticism for the movie, Call Me By Your Name, and I've posted about the critics who point out that Call Me By Your Name is anything but a gay film or a gay romance, but this review is something a little different.

Narcissism is Elio’s problem but it is also the film’s failing. Instead of powerfully exploring gay passion as in this year’s Paris: O5:59 and G...

Ex-Marine vs Former Marine: Kendle's Fire; Gus Kenworthy Headed For Olympics; What Counts As Losing Gay Virginity?

Ex-Marine vs Former Marine: Kendle's Fire



In Kendle's Fire the main character refers to himself as an "ex-Marine." There's a reason for this that I can't say because I don't want to give out any spoilers. But it's a valid reason and I did it on purpose, with all due respect to the Marines. This is a special case, and I support everyone in the military 100%, without question.

The only reason I'm mentioning this is because it's common knowledge that the term "former Marine" is used with regard to...

Is the LGBTQI Acronym Becoming Irrelevant; Fetish Photographer, and Escorts Doing Chemsex; RIP Bob Smith Gay Comedian and Writer

Is the LGBTQI Acronym Becoming Irrelevant?

I hear this discussion all the time in RL with friends. It's not that they think the acronym itself is irrelevant. It's just that they're confused and sometimes even irritated by all the other additions to the acronym. Most, if not all of the people I know, don't even know what the added letters stand for.

According to writer Alex Myers over at Slate, the answer is: Never. He says the LGBTQ acronym can’t have enough letters, numbers, and symbols,...

Antonio Sabàto Jr's R-Rated Gay Film; Chechen Leader On The Missing Gay Pop Star Zelimkhan Bakaev; Buying Rocco Steele's Underwear

Antonio Sabato Jr's R-Rated Gay Film

Things just keep getting more and more interesting. I don't know much about Antonio Sabato Jr, but according to this article he's straight, he's Republican, he's an actor, and he's running for office in California. But there's an interesting twist. He's not Ronald Reagan. 

Sabato was previously a Calvin Klein model and appeared on various television programs. But he also starred in a couple of movies, some of which he played gay characters.

One such...

U of Penn Student Murder May Have Been Hate Crime

I've been following this sad murder story since it broke. It's about a smart young guy from California who was attending the ivy league University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. One of the best schools in the world. So it's been local news for Bucks County. His entire future was ahead of him.

The #MeToo Movement Goes Deeper Than Hollywood; Timothée Chalamet Made A Woody Allen Movie;Matt Damon Apologizes for Sexual Misconduct Remarks; Johnny Weir Speaks About Tonya Harding

The #MeToo Movement Goes Deeper Than Hollywood

I saw someone clueless posting on social media about how we only hear about wealthy powerful men sexually assaulting women, as if to suggest that the women encourage this predatory behavior from these wealthy powerful men. But also that these same women would not encourage guys who aren't rich and powerful. Of course that makes no sense, because sexual assault is happening everywhere. It's not exclusive to Hollywood and it's not exclusive to...

10 Year Old Boy Starts Drag Queen Club For Kids; Sniffing Man-Scent and Arm Pits; New Bionic Sex Dolls For Gay Men

10 Year Old Boy Starts Drag Queen Club For Kids

I love the idea of this...a drag club for kids. I know it's not for all kids. But the truth is that all kids are different and some like to do drag. Now they can do it, guilt free, without being ridiculed or questioned by people who don't understand.

Drag clubs are nothing new in New York City — but it took a 10-year-old to dream up the first drag club for children.
Desmond Napoles from Brooklyn in New York City is better known by his dra...

Russians Think Gay Sex Is Reprehensible; Reinventing Gay Porn and Erotic Gay Romance; Straight Men Meeting Up For Bud Sex

Russians Think Gay Sex Is Reprehensible

I think articles like this are almost always slanted. I don't trust polls here in the US anymore, so I'm clearly not going to trust polls in Russia. In other words, this could be fact or fiction.

In any event, here's what one poll in Russia recently came up with.

More than 80 percent of Russians consider gay sex "reprehensible," showing a massive spike in LGBT intolerance over the past two decades, according to a new poll.

You can check this out here.&...
