 Orthodox Journalist Yair Cherki Comes Out As Gay

Here's another coming out story that just happened but this time it's not a celebrity or a jock playing professional sports. This time it is a well-respected Orthodox Journalist And if you know anything at all about the Orthodox community you know this took guts. 

“I love men and I love God, and this is neither contradictory nor new,” wrote Channel 12’s Yair Cherki in a Facebook post that quickly garnered thousands of likes and shares.

Czech footballer Jakub Jankto Comes Out As Gay

Here's another guy with a large platform who recently came out as gay. And from what I gather he is the first international footballer to do this. 

And I never get tired of these stories. I have an acquaintance who is an older gay man. He's not really what you would call a friend.  You can tell he is gay the moment he opens his mouth to speak. Only he'll tell you he doesn't consider himself gay and he doesn't believe in labels. I know that's generatio...

Most Straight People Don't Know How Kenya Criminalizes Gay Men, Ryan Field Books

 Most Straight People Don't Know How Kenya Criminalizes Gay Men

This is something most straight people don't know. And why should you? The mainstream media never talks about it. I always look at being gay as a global issue, not just domestic. 

LGBTQ rights in Kenya are almost non-existent. 

Gay men pretend to be straight because it's illegal in Kenya to be "homosexual." 

Because of the way gay men are treated in Kenya AIDS is almost completely ignored. The ministry of health claims that HIV/AIDS tra...

After Don't Say Gay Feud DeSantis Will Run Disney Self-Governing District

For years and years Florida's Disney world has had its own self-governing district. And thanks to Florida's hateful Governor DeSantis that will not be a reality anymore. He plans to take over Florida's self-governing district very soon, as a retaliation for Disney World disagreeing with his don't say gay bill. 

Apparently, a state takeover of the district it legal. 

“This all seems a retaliation by the governor for Disney voi...

Gay Law Maker in NY Urges Chase to Fix Zelle After String of Crimes in Gay Bars, Ryan Field Books

 Gay Law Maker in NY Urges Chase to Fix Zelle After String of Crimes in Gay Bars

This story is a bit complicated to follow because of the way it's written. However, from what I gather, a gay lawmaker in NY, Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, is urging Chase to make Zelle more secure in hopes that a string of crimes will strop. 

People who visit these LGBTQ establishments are seeing bank accounts emptied, they're being drugged, and even abducted. Face ID was even used to do some of these crimes. 

The senat...

Nets' Guard Cam Thomas Apologizes for Anti-Gay Slur, Ryan Field Books

Nets' Guard Cam Thomas Apologizes for Anti-Gay Slur

Here's a story about one of those slips of the tongue where a guy with straight privilege, Cam Thomas, thinks nothing of using the word homo. And what's most disturbing is that this straight guy is part of a marginalized group himself so he should know how it feels to be referred to with slurs. 

“We already had good-looking dudes, no homo.”

Here's more. And yet he said it anyway. 

Later he went on Twitter and posted a lame apology like most homopho...

Catholic School Fired A Woman Teacher for Kissing Another Woman, Ryan Field Books

 Catholic School Fired A Woman Teacher for Kissing Another Woman

The Archdiocese of Denver is supporting a school for firing a gay teacher in a gay relationship. They found a photo of Maggie Barton kissing another woman and called her out on it. When she said in all honesty that she was in a relationship with another woman they fired her the following day. 

“He was asking me a lot of questions about my understanding of the Catholic faith and if I was aware of the church’s position on same-sex attr...

Gay Cruise Company Says No Posting Sexually Explicit Content on Social Media, Ryan Field Books

 Gay Cruise Company Says No Posting Sexually Explicit Content on Social Media

This is partly why Tony and I have never taken a gay cruise, and why we will never take a gay cruise. For one thing, we don't like the crowds. And it always just seemed like non-stop chaos. There's always that 80 year old guy in a speedo, too. 

With that said, I know nothing about what happens on gay cruise ships, so this article was all new to me. Apparently, there are gay men who post sexually explicit images on social...

Transgender Activists Protest in Oklahoma Capital, Ryan Field Books

 Transgender Activists Protest in Oklahoma Capital

I first saw this story trending in the sidebar on Twitter. So I clicked the link and found that anti-trans people were comparing this peaceful protest in Oklahoma to the January 6th Insurrection. And how ridiculous is that? 

As far as I know, these trans activists didn't storm the capital. They had permits and were escorted peacefully into the building. Once inside, they chanted "trans lives matter." There are tons of videos out there to prove thi...
