The Bible Belt's Only Gay Strip Club; Brian Sims' Op-Ed On LGBT Racists
The Bible Belt's Only Gay Strip Club
After travelling the US by car to and from Palm Springs, California this month, I have to admit that I've seen gay people everywhere. They're in every state, in every town, and they're walking down every street. Gay is no longer exclusive to large cities like San Francisco or New York.
So I don't know why they make this out to be so unusual.
Welcome to Swinging Richards, a.k.a. “The only gay strip club in the heart of the The Bible Belt.” The club is located...

A Rainbow Bridge In Leeds; The Gay Globe Trotter; Chris Colfer From Glee's TV Comeback
A Rainbow Bridge In Leeds I believe anything like this can only help, not hurt. The city of Leeds in the UK constructs a rainbow bridge for equality.
Leeds local, Thomas Wales, wanted to highlight the changing, progressive landscape of the city.
Wales told Gay Star News: ‘For me, it is a shining beacon that brightly highlights the fact that the LGBT community don’t have to hide away.
‘We’re part of the fabric of the city.
And I think the umbrella that covers the entire LGB...

Judging Mike Pence's Marriage; The Kilted Scotsman Gets Hate Mail; 90 Year Old WWII Trans Vet
Judging Mike Pence's Marriage
I've never been a huge fan of Mike Pence, and that's based strictly on his record regarding LGBT rights. I don't get personal, I don't shame, and I don't care much about his personal life. However, this article that seems to be judging Pence's marriage really irritates me. It sounds as if it's written by someone who has never been married or never been in a long term successful relationship.

What This Drag Guy Does With an Egg; Straight British Comedian Thinks Gays Have It Easier? Lily Tomlin and 9 To 5
What This Drag Guy Does With an Egg
Say what you will, but this is not totally without merit. A guy putting on make up for drag uses a hard boiled egg to blend the make up.
“This kind of feels like a really cold silly sponge but it smells like sewage, like eggs, so… that’s a turn-off,” he crows, tamping foundation into his cheeks. “But it’s actually doing a pretty good job. I really like how cold this is… it’s like super refreshing, too!”
You can check that out here. It's funny, and it seem...

Alexander Skarsgard Full Frontal Male Nudity "Big Little Lies;" Mexico's Sexist Penis Seats On Trains; What Is Your Penis Worth?
Alexander Skarsgard Full Frontal Male Nudity "Big Little Lies"
I have to admit that I started watching Big Little Lies and stopped after a few episodes. But let me explain why. I didn't like the characters and I think it could be because they were too heteronormative for me. It's a great show and it's well done, but I couldn't relate to much, and I lost interest fast. I have no interest in watching straight people cheat on each other.
However, I may have to revisit this one.

Tom Atwood: Queer Heroes
I think the only thing I love more than books is good art. The world can be such a dismal place, but art makes it so much better. You can lose yourself in a good work of art almost the same way you can in a book.
Here's a story about Tom Atwood and a series he did about Queer Heroes:
Photographer Tom Atwood’s second book is a feast for the eyes, propping up LGBTQ heroes who break the mold. Over the course of fifteen years, he documented these intriguing and eccentric per...

Elton John: Eminem Not Homophobic
I never thought Eminem was homophobic, but I know a lot of people who do. And now Elton John is coming to his defense.
Elton John has defended his friend Eminem from accusations of homophobia, saying: ‘I’ll fight for anyone who is misunderstood and misrepresented by the idiots out there.’
The British icon added in an interview with Zane Low for Beats 1: ‘I’m always a supporter of the people that are getting trashed. For me Eminem was never homophobic,’ reports E...

Bruno Gmünder Gay Publisher Goes Bust
This is upsetting to me because I've been published in more books and magazines than I can count with Bruno Gmunder. I've posted about most of them here. I always loved working with them, I loved their editors, and I loved their content with respect to gay culture as I've always known it. It's authentic gay content, not contrived or diluted.
Last week, it was already announced their German top magazine, Männer, would stop its print issues and switch t...
