Pete Buttigieg Keeps Explaining Climate Change to Republicans, Ryan Field Books

 Pete Buttigieg Keeps Explaining Climate Change to Republicans

This one doesn't surprise me, and that's partly because I don't always have the best grasp of climate change. So I'm glad there are experts out there like Pete to explain it to me. 

But at least I do understand the difference between seasons and global climate change. Apparently, Republicans don't seem to get it. 

Pete posted this on social media. 

On social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Buttigieg shared a clip of Miller’s...

Diane Feinstein and Gay Rights, Ryan Field Books

 Diane Feinstein and Gay Rights

Admittedly, I know very little about the late Sen. Feinstein and gay rights, so a good deal of this article is new to me. 

For one thing, she thought Gavin Newsom pushed gay marriage too soon in 2004...that people weren't ready for it and they fought back. Which they did. But then again, when was the right time? If Newsom hadn't pushed for it in 2004 where would we be right now? 

The article is a bit skewed because she mentions a good deal how George Bush stalled on ...

Bar Patron Assaults Employee at Jersey City Bar, Ryan Field

Bar Patron Assaults Employee at Jersey City Bar

A gay bar named Pint that's been in Jersey City for many years was assaulted with anti-gay slurs. Get this, the man in question allegedly asked them why there was a rainbow flag and when he found out it was a gay bar he flew into a DeSantis rage and started scream all kinds of pejoratives about gay men, including the one where we want to target children. 

I don't want to digress but in all my life I never thought I would see the day they would think ...

It is NOT "Gay" Pride Month It's Just PRIDE MONTH, Ryan Field Books

 It is NOT "Gay" Pride Month It's Just PRIDE MONTH

Of course this article is about deeper content, but I get sick and tired of journalists who know nothing about Pride Month. They constantly refer to it as "Gay" Pride Month and it's not. It is simply "Pride Month." There is no Gay in there anymore. At least get this one thing right.

In any event, this October, young kids in the Los Angeles school district will learn more about gay and trans identity. 

The Human Rights Campaign will offer a glossary...

Florida School District Orders Removal of Gay Books then Backs Off, Ryan Field Books

 Florida School District Orders Removal of Gay Books then Backs Off

By this time I don't think I have to explain Florida's don't say gay law and their hatred or gay content. 

Recently, a Florida school district ordered the removal of all gay book in order to comply with Gov. DeSantis's don't day gay laws. The school's superintendent and the board's attorney started a discussion with school librarians about whether or not a good had a gay character but no gay sexual content. This type of thing had ...

Don't Say Gay Batman Teacher and Schools Clash, Ryan Field Books

 Don't Say Gay Batman Teacher and Schools Clash

If you remember, I posted about a teacher who is an authority on Batman last week. The teacher mentioned elements of gay...nothing sexual...during one of his talks and he was asked to stop using any gay references. The teacher disagreed and quit.

You see, this is what they do, and this always what these straights have done. They quickly associate anything gay as being of a sexual nature. It could be as innocent as two gay men baking cookies, but they...

The View's Sunny Hostin Says Gays Identify by Scent, Ryan Field Books

The View's Sunny Hostin Says Gays Identify by Scent


First, I have never watched more than one or two clips of The View on X formerly known as Twitter. And when I did it was usually because of something stupid they said. I'm actually surprised they are still on TV after all these years. But they seem to have this knack of saying stupid things to keep people watching. 

With that said, Sunny Hostin...don't know who they are...believes that gay people can find one another by scent. She also admitted t...

National Gay Men's AIDS/HIV Awareness Day, Ryan Field Books

 National Gay Men's AIDS/HIV Awareness Day

I do not know a single gay man between Palm Springs and Manhattan who is not aware of AIDS or HIV. To this day, we still worry about it and we take more precautions than ever before. 

PrEP is a huge factor in AIDS awareness now. It has given gay men more freedom to feel secure about who they are. Almost everyone I know takes it, including family members. 

Then there is the fact that most men with HIV are taking HIV drugs that are so sophisticated their HIV...

Turkish President thinks UN Looks like Gay Colors, Ryan Field Books

 Turkish President thinks UN Looks like Gay Colors

The President of Turkey thinks that someone got Pride colors confused with sustainable development goals. 

He claims he is uncomfortable with the colors, too. 

Of course his roots are in the Islamic AK party and we all know how Islam feels about anything LGBTQ related. 

“One of the issues that bothers me the most ... is that when entering the United Nations General Assembly, you see the LGBT colors on steps and other places,” Erdogan was quoted as s...

Openly Gay Country Singer Adam Mac Ditches Music Festival Because of Homophobia, Ryan Field Books

 Openly Gay Country Singer Adam Mac Ditches Music Festival Because of Homophobia

I remember when I first started hearing about gay men who loved country western music. I was stunned. First, it represented a folksy brand of music I'd never been familiar with. I didn't like it. Second, it always seems to come with a certain amount of homophobia. 

Apparently, not much has changed. 

Country singer, Adam Mac, isn't going to perform at a music festival in his own hometown thanks for homophobic comments a...
