She was Kicked Out of an All Girls School in the 70s for Being Gay, Ryan Field Books

 She was Kicked Out of an All Girls School in the 70s for Being Gay

I remember when I was in high school someone started a rumor about one of the girls being gay and those straight kids tortured her. She was slightly overweight, had very dark hair, and had very bushy black eyebrows. They called her names, stepped on her lunches, and refused to even sit next to her. And that was just the tip of it. No one else could really do anything because those of us who were gay were in the closet and no one ...

FREE Gay Romance Excerpt for New Release: Altered Parts Book 2, Ryan Field Books

 FREE Gay Romance Excerpt for New Release: Altered Parts Book 2

One of the reasons I haven't released a new book in a while is that I've been working with Riverdale Ave Books in NYC to get my books onto the new app called Radish. It's a website that allows readers to get sections of books instead of buying the entire book at once. And obviously, it's all digital. The call themselves the home for romance novels. Here's a link to that. 

And other things...like moving 3 times...in the last 2 years ha...

A Review by Peter Debruge for New Gay Movie, "Down Low," Ryan Field Books

 A Review by Peter Debruge for New Gay Movie, "Down Low"

Here's a review from someone named Peter Debruge for the new gay film, Down Low. I know nothing about the movie other than the fact that it stars openly gay Zachary Quinto and I think openly gay Lucas Gage. 

So for me that makes this movie even more interesting. I'm stunned. Two openly gay actors starring in a film with gay content. What will they think of next? I just hope Brendon Fraser who recently won an Oscar for playing gayface doesn't...

Chinese "Rotten Girls" Escape Into Gay Erotica With Straight Women Authors who Culturally Appropriate Gay Men, Ryan Field Books

Chinese "Rotten Girls" Escape Into Gay Erotica with Straight Women Authors who Culturally Appropriate Gay Men

Danmei is mostly straight women who are appropriating our culture again. I'm not talking about the readers. I'm talking about the authors. I love the women who read and embrace gay romance. Personally, I would never write black fiction, but I adore the works of authors like Toni Morrison and other black authors. But I don't feel that way about the women who write gay romance. I've seen to...

Leslie Jones Says Gay Marriage Bill In Tennessee Is Going Backward, Ryan Field Books

 Leslie Jones Says Gay Marriage Bill In Tennessee Is Going Backward

When gay marriage started to become legal, state by state, President Obama at the time gave an explanation about why this was necessary. One important factor was public opinion. As much as I despise the concept of straights deciding on my life, it clearly had to be done. It's been the same way in other countries, too.

But we gained the approval of the public, for the most part. And as each state made gay marriage legal because the...

The Suspect in Oakland's Gay Men's Chorus Shooting, Ryan Field Books

 The Suspect in Oakland's Gay Men's Chorus Shooting

This is news I haven't heard about until now. Why? Because the mainstream media only covers the most sensational and outrageous stories with gay content.

Someone fatally stabbed a singer in the Oakland Gay Men's Chorus and they have a suspect. Sweven Waterman has been charged by the district attorney. So far, a motive had not been established. 

The victim, Curtis Marsh, was also a barber. 

The community is stunned that this happened.

"For the life o...

Colorado Catholic Group Checks Priests Who Use Gay Dating Apps, Ryan Field Books

 Colorado Catholic Group Checks Priests Who Use Gay Dating Apps

There is a Catholic group in Colorado that has allegedly spent 4M outing Catholic priests. They shared this with bishops worldwide. I hate to tell them, but many of these Catholic bishops are gay, too. I've mentioned my own personal story about having very close friends back in the 90s who lived double lives as a gay couple in New Hope and a Bishop and Monsignor in a Catholic Church. It was all very furtive. I've mentioned them befor...

Tennessee's Repub LT Gov Loves to Comment on a Young Gay Guy's Insta, Ryan Field Books

 Tennessee's Repub LT Gov Loves to Comment on a Young Gay Guy's Insta

Here's an interesting Twist. It seem that Tennessee has a Republican Lt Governor who enjoys posting comments on some young half naked gay guy's Instagram posts. 

And the 79 yr old Lt Governor admits it openly, without a hind of shame. 

McNally's office has not disputed that the Republican left the comments, saying in a statement that he "enjoys interacting with constituents and Tennesseans of all religions, backgrounds and orient...

How They Got Some Things Wrong with Gay Content in "How to Get Away With Murder," Ryan Field Books

How They Got Some Things Wrong with Gay Content in "How to Get Away With Murder,"

I am linking to an article right now where Shonda Rhimes replies to someone about the "gay scenes" in How to Get Away with Murder and frankly I'm not too thrilled with her replies. First, she's a women and has no right to comment on gay male content. Stay in your own lane. Second, I disagree with her reasoning. Tony and I watched this TV show, and as gay men we found the two gay male characters were almost repulsive...

A Rabbit God for Taiwan's Gay Community, Ryan Field Books

 A Rabbit God for Taiwan's Gay Community

Here's something different for a change, especially if you love reading about gay people in other cultures. 

In Taiwan there is a Temple in Taipei where you can worship the Rabbit god Tu'er Shen, which has become a huge symbol for gay people in Taiwan and China. 

It's a highly unique Temple for some very obvious reasons.

“In other temples a common thing is the master will tell you what to do, but this place is different. They listen to me like a friend, witho...
