"Call Me By Your Name:" Insulting Gay Hype or Real Gay Romance

However, for all I know, I might lov...

When I reached 1 million hits on this blog, I thought I would stop and move on to something else. At least that was the plan. Evidently, I'm not ready to stop yet, because I reached 1 million a while ago and I'm still here. I'm just a little different than I was when I first started blogging.
With so many smaller presses (that at one time promised everyone the world and everyone believed it) shuttering these days, it's nice to find something that's inspiring for a cha...

Gay Couple Valentine's Ad
Lush Cosmetics is running Valentine's Day ads with gay couples. From the way it sounds, they're getting positive feedback.

The former Army intelligence officer was incarcerated in 2010 after stealing roughly 700,000 military dossiers and diplomatic cables and turning them over to Wikileaks.
The rest is here. There is a quote from Manning, and it...

More Gay Icons
I'll never get this gay icon thing for anything, so I've given up trying. I like them all, and I respect them all, but I wouldn't stand in a long line for any of them.
