What Gives Matt Bomer A Boner; Trans Airman Logan Ireland On the Trans Military Ban; Ryan Field Books

What Gives Matt Bomer A Boner
This isn't the most fascinating news, or the most intelligent, but it's amusing. It's some kind of an interview with Andy Cohen and Matt Bomer.
Right after humiliating Anderson Cooper on Watch What Happens Live about what truly turns him on, he’s decided to continue his reign of terror by getting all up close and personal with Matt Bomer, forcing him to play a self-explanatory game called, artfully enough, “Does It Give You A Boner, Bomer?”
Here's the link. You'll...

Lena Dunham Allegedly Lies About Transgenders? 50 Year Old Male Model's Hot Body; Christ Hemsworth Looking Buff

Lena Dunham Allegedly Lies About Transgenders? I'm not sure if this is true or not...yet. Right now the story is all over the place. But I saw it trending on social media and I thought it was interesting because there seems to be a pattern with Dunham.  In short, Dunham claimed she overheard American Airlines employees using transphobic talk, she tweeted about it,  and now people are questioning whether or not it's true.   It’s unclear if American was able to ide...

Amsterdam's Milkshake Festival; More About Aaron Schock; Everybody's Gotta Love Each Other

Amsterdam's Milkshake Festival

It's that time of year again. I always post something about the Milkshake Festival because I'd love to go there myself someday. It's a lot more than what you would imagine it to be.

Thousands of people turned out for the annual Milkshake Festival in Amsterdam. The two-day outdoor festival throws liberalism, art, culture, entertainment and creativity into a giant blender for a weekend of nonstop entertainment, music, parties, costumes, weirdness, and love...

Why the Movie "Call Me By Your Name" Irritates Me; The Sickness of Gay Conversion Therapy; More Comments From Gay Men About "Call Me By Your Name"

Why the Movie "Call Me By Your Name" Irritates Me

I've posted about Call Me By Your Name before, last January to be exact. First, it was a book written by a straight man with "homosexual" characters. Second, it's not a gay movie but the marketing people are claiming it's the next "gay classic" and the next Brokeback Mountain. And that bothers me for reasons that should be obvious: just make the distinction clear. That's all.

Call Me By Your Name may very well be a stellar film and book. In fac...

HBO Responds To "NoConfederate" Twitter Hashtag; Gianni Versace's Longtime Partner Is Unhappy with American Crime Story's Versace; A Gay Boy's Crush In Animation

HBO Responds To "NoConfederate" Twitter Hashtag

I know there's more than one opinion about things like this, but I'm sharing it because I see it happen all the time to gays and others in the LGBTQ+ community. Someone coming from a place of huge white privilege in Hollywood (or big publishing) decides to make a movie or TV show (or book) about a minority, and they never even think to take into consideration that the minority should get the last word...always...on any content that is related to...

They're Asking Peter Thiel To Speak Now; The Pervy Gay Landlord Who Had Sex In Tenant's Bed; The Homophobia Will Young Faces

They're Asking Peter Thiel To Speak Now

Even though this article is snarky and one-sided, I don't want to focus on that tone. I'm genuinely curious about what Peter Thiel has to say about President Trump's transgender ban in the military. And I'm not getting snarky, and I'm not going to exaggerate facts. As I know it to be true at this moment, the President tweeted that he wants to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military. That's a fact.

And people are curious about what Peter Thiel...

How Lesbian Porn Helped This Gay-Leaning Queer Guy; Trump Kisses Lesbian Police Officer; Italian Gay Activist Vincenzo Ruggiero Murdered

How Lesbian Porn Helped This Gay-Leaning Queer Guy

A man who identifies as queer who was the victim of a sexual assault found an unusual way to deal with side effects that left him traumatized.

“Though I’m a gay-leaning queer man, the first step toward reclaiming my sense of sexuality came when one of my friends, a queer woman familiar with my situation, casually introduced me to some bomb-ass lesbian-produced queer porn after brunch one Sunday.”

The site she recommended featured feminist, incl...

Documentary On Tokyo's All Male Gay For Pay Brothel; WTF? Gay Men Are Great Babysitters? G-Rated Gay Romance, "Said With Care" By Ryan Field; My Profile Pic

Documentary On Tokyo's All Male Gay For Pay Brothel

There's a new documentary out titled, Boys For Sale, that's focused on a gay for pay brothel in Tokyo. What's interesting for lack of a better word is the male prostitutes don't all identify as gay.

“I’m detached,” says one of the men, asked how he can have sex with other men when he identifies as straight. “My mind goes blank.”

Many of these sex workers were homeless or orphaned following natural disasters or personal ill fortune.

Others simp...
