Gay Couples In India Want Legal Gay Marriage, Ryan Field Books

 Gay Couples In India Want Legal Gay Marriage

I often post about what's going on around the world with regard to gay people. Some places are still so homophobic it's dangerous to live there and be gay. 

However, here is a story about gay couples in India who want their Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage in spite of how many times it's been turned down.

Actually, there are four gay couples asking the courts to legalize gay marriage. It's been a long but somewhat positive journey for gay people i...

Indiana Lawmakers Now Consider Don't Say Gay Laws

One of the biggest and most idiotic things I see from these anti-gay straights on social media is that they have no idea about the differences between a drag performer and a person who is transgender. These poor straight fools just can't figure it out. So whenever I see them posting about "grooming" and drag queens doing story hour in libraries, I try to let them know the difference.

With that said, the wonderful state of Indiana where Mike and Mot...

TV Review: The Awful and Horrible Way Women Writers Treat Gay Characters in Netflix's "Firefly Lane," Ryan Field Books

TV Review: The Awful and Horrible Way Women Writers Treat Gay Characters in Netflix's Firefly Lane 

There is a series on Netflix that Tony and I started watching a few years ago. At the time it was season one of Firefly Lane. Well, like most TV these days the series didn't return for a few years and by that time you stop caring about the storyline and the characters, and it takes time to get back into the show. 

Season 2 of Firefly Lane dropped recently and Tony and I have been giving it a try. It...

President Biden Signs Gay Marriage Law

I remember when Tony and I got married in 2014. Even though we've been together since 1992, and we have POA and all our legal papers in order, we wanted the protections of legal marriage just like the straights have. 

So we drove up to Vermont on a snowy cold January weekend to be part of a documentary about gay marriage...The State of Marriage...and we were married by Vermont supreme court justice, Beth Robinson. Robinson was one of the people who started ci...

LA Restaurant Manager Fired For Scolding Kissing Gay Couple, Ryan Field Books

 LA Restaurant Manager Fired For Scolding Kissing Gay Couple

Here's a follow up to the story I posted about a gay couple who started kissing in an LA restaurant. I had a feeling we would hear more. 

The manager was fired after Drew Droege, an openly gay actor, left the restaurant and went on social media to tell the world about his experience in the restaurant. In short, Droege was scolded for kissing another man in what the manager referred to as a "family" restaurant where he claimed they don't ...

 Openly Gay Actor was Told He Couldn't Kiss His Date In LA Restaurant

I know I'm always harping about how openly gay actors are always passed over for parts in gay films. And they hire the straight actor to play gayface instead. The same goes for the writing aspect, too. Mostly, you will see straight writers doing gay content...just like in the world of publishing. It's cultural appropriation that no one seems ready to acknowledge. 

My point is that there is still a great deal of homophobia around...

 Yoel Roth Gay Former Twitter Official In Hiding and Fearing For His Life

I'm linking to an article about a former Twitter official, Yoel Roth, who left Twitter when Elon Free Speech Musk took over. When I refer to Musk as Elon Free Speech Musk it's because since he took over I have yet to see any signs of free speech. In fact, I've seen more censorship than ever. One friend I know was having a discussion with a far right conservative over COVID, and my friend mentioned cancer and she was immedia...

 As Russia Tightens Anti-Gay Laws Our Existence Is Practically Illegal

After enforcing the gay propaganda laws a while ago, Russia is now getting worse on LGBTQ equality and human rights. 

Russia's "Upper House" recently approved new legislation that makes it even worse for LGBTQ people living in Russia. It criminalizes us, too. 

Members of the LGBTQ community in Russia are frightened and uncertain about their futures. But as one gay couple points out, it's not always easy to leave because of finan...

 Young Gay Man Not Happy with Repub Lawmaker Aunt After She Cried During Gay Marriage 'No' Vote

Here is a story about a young gay man who has a republican aunt. Her name is Vicky Hartzler and she's a republican from Missouri. 

Hartzler allegedly begged her republican colleagues to vote no on the bill to codify gay marriage, with tears in her eyes. And that video went viral. 

Then her gay nephew posted a TikTok and slammed Aunt Vicky for her tears. And his video has been viewed more than a half a mi...
