The Gay Cowboy; American Crime Story and Donatella Versace; James Franco's Gay Threesome
The Gay Cowboy
During a time when most gay news these days seems to consist of Trump and Trump family bashing in the worst possible ways, or RuPaul and fringe drag stories that I can't relate to, this story is refreshing.
There's this young guy named Josh Goyne and they call him The Gay Cowboy. He lives in a remote part of Australia and deals with homophobia all the time.
“Today I was asked if I thought it was good that gays died of AIDS, and then the guy said he wished it was 1850 so he could s...

"Hey Qween" and "Dragula;" RIP Walter Cessna; Reality Show About Underpants and Penis Bulge
"Hey Qween" and "Dragula"
I'm posting this to show how diverse gay culture can be. For all I know, and I've been gay most of my life, these people are speaking a foreign language. I have no idea what they're talking about.
All nine contestants of the ?hit YouTube series? “Dragula: Search for the World’s First Drag Supermonster” have returned and are ready to weigh in on all the drama from the debut season.
“Drag is blowing up, which is amazing, but there is a certain section of people that aren...

You Tube's Family Friendly Filter; Colton Haynes As A Dad; America's First Trans Judge Can't Get Into India
You Tube's Family Friendly Filter
A lot of people don't realize that this kind of thing happens all the time. I've seen it happen with web sites where e-books are sold. Anything with LGBT content comes with a warning. It doesn't have to be erotic or adult material...as we know adult material to be. All it has to be is LGBT content...the most basic G rated LGBT content...and it's considered adult content in the mainstream.
With that said, You Tube has a family friendly filter that blocks LGBT co...

John Waters On Divine; Gaydar Is NOT Real, They Say; Ditching Masc and Femme Labels
John Waters On Divine
I remember the first time I discovered something gay related that could be discussed aloud in mainstream public. It was still camp and gay culture, but from what I remember it crossed into the mainstream, and it was safe. It was Divine. People could discuss Divine anywhere, and joke around about her. As a gay teen who was in the closet, that made a huge difference to me. I didn't feel so isolated and I realized there was a lot more to the world than what I'd learned in Ca...

Lesbians and Pap Smears
I have to admit I found this interesting because up until now I didn't know what a pap smear was. How could I? It stands to reason.
In any event, this is pretty serious stuff.
Lesbian and bisexual women are wrongly being told not to get pap smears, LGBTI charities warn.
37% of women who have sex with women are told they do not require a cervical screening test due to their sexual orientation.
This then results in half of lesbian and bisexual women never havi...

Alleged: Twitter Troll Arrested For Causing Seizure; Stomped On His Rainbow Flag; Gay Revenge Porn
Alleged: Twitter Troll Arrested For Causing Seizure
I think this case is going to be interesting to follow, especially if you're on social media often. I've been on Twitter daily since 2009. It's my preferred social media outlet. The one thing I've noticed in all these years, in a general sense, is that what defines a troll is often questionable. In other words, I've seen people cry butthurt and call people troll for very flimsy reasons. For not being PC enough, or for "offending" them. For di...

Creepy Chilling Gay Revenge
Here's a story about a government employee in New Zealand who stalked and creeped a straight guy for years.
According to prosecutors, the 39-year-old had been harassing the victim for over two-and-a-half years. The harassment included creating fake online dating profiles using his photo and contact information and sending sex toys to his office. The victim also says a letter was sent to his house with a picture of him with penises drawn all over his fa...

Is Hollywood As We Know It Over? Straight Guys Hooking Up With Gay Men; Stripped Of Everything
Is Hollywood As We Know It Over?
A friend sent me this link and I thought it was interesting enough to post about from a pop culture POV. It's a long piece that talks about the end of Hollywood as we've always known it, and it mentions other industries that have been changing and evolving. The problem seems to be that no one told Hollywood yet.
Hollywood, these days, seems remarkably poised for a similar disruption. Its audiences increasingly prefer on-demand content, its labor is costly, and...
