Honest Drag Queen Confessions; Guys Who Are NOT on PrEP; 10 Gay-Friendly Headliners In Vegas
Honest Drag Queen Confessions
If you're like me, you don't know much about drag culture. So here's one of those meme posts where drag queens speak candidly about a few issues they face. It's not the deepest or the most emotional, and I think there's more to learn...but it's interesting.
Here's one:
I'm a drag queen. And I love that none of my friends or family know; especially when I see my friends in public and they don't recognize me.
I have known a few drag queens, and one of them was o...

CNN's Millennial Trump Voter Shade; Guys Who Are NOT on PrEP; 10 Gay-Friendly Headliners In Vegas
CNN's Millennial Trump Voter
I'm not linking to this for any particular reason, other than to show just how vicious and mean this election has become.
But while the room for political discourse may have reached a temporary ceasefire until the votes are counted and the future secured, there is still one item of extreme import up for debate: Who, exactly, does CNN’s “Millennial Trump voter” remind you of?
You can check this out here...just to see how he's mocked, ridiculed, and judged.

The Sneaky Disingenuous Hollywood Actors In the Closet; Cher, Dyslexia, Gays, and Hollywood Fail, Again; University of Indonesia To "Normalize" Gays
The Sneaky, Disingenuous Hollywood Actors In the Closet
This has always been a rough one for me, because I have always firmly believed that no one should ever be forced into coming out as gay. For most people who fall under the umbrella of LGBTQ, it's a serious, emotional decision for which they have to be ready. And I still believe that. I receive e-mails daily from closeted gay male readers who are fighting with this dilemma every waking minute.
However, there are still a lot of double stan...

Nick Jonas' Cute Snapshot; Lady Gaga To Play Donatella Versace; Loving: Marriage Equality Movie
Nick Jonas' Cute Snapshot
This is light news, but it's the weekend and everyone's so intense with politics...
Lest his fans forget his toned torso and patch of chest hair in the heat of Electionocalypse 2016, Nick Jonas has done the right thing by allowing a moment of nubile appreciation.
I really got to like Jonas more after seeing his film Goat. He was good. The movie is unexpectedly good, too. It's not the kind of movie the press portrays it to be. I posted a brief review here....

The Ryan Reynolds and Conan O'Brien Gay Parody Kiss; Dustin Lance Black and Gay Rights Miniseries; More Kim Davis
The Ryan Reynolds and Conan O'Brien Gay Parody Kiss
This very brief gay parody kiss with straight white actors of privilege, Ryan Reynolds and Conan O'Brien, has been making the rounds all week.
On the November 2 episode of Conan, actor Ryan Reynolds and host Conan O’Brien surprised audiences by abruptly recreating that iconic “kissing in the rain” moment from the film — and with Conan filling in Rachael McAdams’ shoes.
The film they're talking about is The Notebook. I also did a parod...

Calling Someone A Homophobe Is Defamation; Drag Race's Lucian Piane Gets Political; Cardinal Issues Anus Apology
Calling Someone A Homophobe Is Defamation
Evidently, you could get into trouble in France if you call someone a homophobe. And it could cost you, too.
Laure Pora, formerly president of the Paris branch of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), was ordered by the Cour d’Appeal to pay 800 to anti-LGBTI group La Manif pour tous.
She also has to pay the judicial cost of 1,500.
There's more here, in detail.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one yet.

Zayn Malik, Eating Disorder, and Anxiety; Gay Asian Guy Seeks Advice; Another Male Celeb's NSFW Webcam Session Leaked
Zayn Malik, Eating Disorder, and Anxiety
While he was part of One Direction, Malik claims that he was dealing with a few personal issues. His autobiography was just released and he discusses all this in detail. It's kind of bittersweet when you think about the fact that while he was entertaining us he was going through all this.

Straight Guy And Filthy Gay Sex Club In Berlin; Being Gay Is Still A "Smear" For Evan McMullin and Others; Are Gay Sex HIV Roulette Parties Real?
Straight Guy And Filthy Gay Sex Club In Berlin
This one is a little hard to believe...but I guess it could happen. Some straight guy allegedly wound up in a gay sex club in Berlin, but he didn't know it until it was too late, and then he went on to write a Yelp review about his experience...a review of the sex he saw in great detail.
‘I’m not talking about a little kiss or a peck, I’m talking open-mouth, tongue kissing.’
Learning his new friends were gay was only step one, though, I look around...

Is This Ad Campaign For Men's Clothing Homophobic?; American Horror, Murder House/Coven Crossover; Colton Haynes' Halloween Costume
Is This As Campaign For Men's Clothing Homophobic?
Before I even get into this. I think it is homophobic and I'm glad it was called out on social media. I don't like stereotyping or homophobia of any kind, and this is pretty obvious.
A campaign to find the face of their Autumn/Winter line features a broody male model next to a so-called “real man,” and features the caption: “Real men have balls, not man bags.”
Unsurprisingly, the Twitter minions wasted no time in decrying the ad as “homopho...

Tyler Clementi's Rommate Pleads Guilty
I've been following this story since 2011 and now there's a new legal twist. In case you haven't been following it, here's a link to a few of my previous posts.
Dharun Ravi, the Rutgers University student who spied on Tyler Clementi as he was having a sexual encounter with a man, has agreed to plead guilty to attempted invasion of privacy.
The charge is one of the original 15 counts he faced in his 2012 trial.
