Theresa May Has "Evolved" On Gay Marriage; Gay For Pay Solo Porn Ruined His Life; Kevin Smith Apologizes to Ben Affleck
Theresa May Has "Evolved" On Gay Marriage
This is always a tough one for me. When Hillary Clinton said she "evolved" on gay marriage I cringed a little. And now Theresa May is basically saying the same thing, and I'm cringing again. It's not that I don't understand people changing and evolving. It happens to me, too. However, I want an apology along with these, "I've evolved," statements. I think it's only fair to apologize to the large group of people to whom you've been doing the unthinkable...

Ben Affleck Felt Like A Serious Actor After Kissing A Dude, And I Felt the Same Way After Kissing A Straight Guy; Steamy Gay "Riverdale" Scene; Classic Gay Movie "Shelter" On Here TV
Ben Affleck Felt Like A Serious Actor After Kissing A Dude, And I Felt the Same Way After Kissing A Straight Guy
I've never seen this movie...Chasing Amy. But it does make sense to me that heterosexual Ben Affleck would feel like a "serious actor" after kissing a guy for the first time. I felt like a "serious gay" after I kissed my first straight dude who actually looked a lot like Ben Affleck. It's plausible.
According to Smith, Affleck said, ‘A man kissing another man is the greatest ac...

Out Magazine's Questionable Political Opinion Piece; Male Prostitution In Manchester; Men Get Better With Age; Is There An Age Limit To Enjoy Grindr?
Out Magazine's Questionable Political Opinion Piece
I've been a registered Democrat all my life. And I probably always will be. But I've learned in life that you can't always define people by their political party affiliation, especially not in small town politics. Here in New Hope, PA, a small, upscale, diverse, art colony with a large LGBT+ population, we have a Republican mayor who has always supported everything related to LGBT+ issues and equality. This mayor doesn't have an ounce of...

YouTuber Laci Green Goes After Trans Rights Activist; Writing Tip: Tools of Characterization "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; The Huge Cost of Atlanta's Rainbow Crosswalks
YouTuber Laci Green Goes After Trans Rights Activist
This is something I've seen happen before, personally. I follow someone on social media who has somewhat of a public profile...even if you don't count the paid for Facebook status updates or the endless array of Twitter shills. (I've never seen anyone with so many obviously fake accounts) In short, this person is a master of self promotion and public manipulation.
This person has always had strong political beliefs. And then, all of sudden, t...

Milo Yiannopoulos' Indie Pubbed Book "Dangerous"; Chechen Leader Calls Gay People Devils; Vogue Apologizes To Zayn Malik and Girlfriend For Calling Them Gender Fluid
Milo Yiannopoulos' Indie Pubbed Book "Dangerous"
Just for the record, I'm not part of Milo's PR team and I have no reason to inflate numbers. I don't even follow Milo, and I have no intention of buying his book. However, I do look at these things in a pragmatic way, not in a political way. And I want to see as many indie authors, whether they write fiction or non-fiction, succeed in publishing on their own.
With that said, I'm not so sure about this article.

Big Thanks To German Readers; LGBT Web TV Series "EastSiders" and Kit Williamson; A Mom Burns A Copy of Teen Vogue With Anal Sex Article
Big Thanks To German Readers
The other day I was doing a search for something blog related and I came across one of my books on Amazon in Germany. I don't always see these things, and I wanted readers in Germany to know that I NEVER ever take them for granted.
The fact that I can reach readers all over the world is amazing enough to me, and when I read some of their reviews it's truly humbling.
So, here's a big thank you to my readers in Germany. I've worked with several publishers in Germany ov...

Gay Male Couples Ballroom Dancing; A Guy, A Rubber Exercise Ball, and A Dildo; A TV Show Where You Meet Your Troll
Gay Male Couples Ballroom Dancing
I get into this topic a lot in my next book, Said With Care. And I think that's because it's still such a taboo for so many to see two men dancing together...especially ballroom dancing. Even the TV show DWTS can't seem to get it right.
Well this gay couple doesn't seem to care, and they're good. It's almost exactly what I pictured my characters doing.
How better to enter the married chapter of your life than by kicking off your shoes and doing a not-so-imprompt...

FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt "Said With Care"; Will Young's Grindr Account Was Deleted; Gay Sex Within the Vatican
Will Young's Grindr Account Was Deleted
I suppose this is both good and bad. Good because at least Grindr is checking for fake profiles. Bad because they flubbed this one up big time.
Pop star Will Young, perhaps best known for his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, decided he wanted to share his Grindr experiences with the world.
Basically, he’s been having a hard time dating guys.
Previously, the Pop Idol winner went an entire two years without having sex, which led him to try dating a...

What Does Barely Legal Mean?; James Franco's Doing Gay Stuff Again; Queer Millenials Are asked Stupid Questions
What Does Barely Legal Mean?
The other day on the Internet I saw a photo of a guy in real life who is almost 40 years old holding hands with a young woman who just turned 19. The implication was obvious, that they were romantically involved. I'm NOT judging it, but it did take me aback. I don't think I would have been so taken aback if it had been a 25 year old and a 45 year old. It's the barely legal part that really made me wonder. I really am curious about what motivates a middle aged man (...

Heroes Actor Allegedly Refused Playing Gay; Trump and Chelsea Clinton Reaching Their Base With Social Media; His Last Facebook Status Was A Love Letter To His Boyfriend
Heroes Actor Allegedly Refused Playing Gay
I've never seen this TV show, so I can't comment at all.
Keep in mind this is all alleged.
Bryan Fuller, former Heroes exec, let it spill that Heroes once ditched a gay storyline because of an offstage fracas involving petulant actorly sorts.
The TV series, which ran for four and a half seasons between 2006 and 2010, made Zachary Quinto a household name and launched the career of many other stars.
Here's the rest. It's all conjecture. But...
