Tom Hanks Says He Won't Play Gay Ever Again, Ryan Field Books
Tom Hanks Says He Won't Play Gay Ever Again
As the world continues to change, so is everything LGBTQ related. In this case I'm talking about actors who once played gayface. Before 2000, any straight actor who took on a gay character in a movie, TV show, or even a play was considered brave because no on else wanted to do it. In the film, Philadelphia, which I saw when it was first released, Tom Hanks did a brilliant job playing a gay character. The entire film depicts an era. However, Hanks recen...

Don't Be Gay At the World Cup This Year in Homophobic Qatar
This year the World Cup is happening in the homophobic country of Qatar and there has been a great deal of backlash about that. I'll never understand why any organization would support any homophobic country around the world. There are a lot of LGBT fans to consider. These places, especially in the Middle East and Africa, criminalize gay men.
I'm linking to a story right now where someone who is gay talks about what it's like to be gay ...

She Tried to Stop Her Son From Being Gay and Wishes She Hadn't, Ryan Field Books
She Tried to Stop Her Son From Being Gay and Wishes She Hadn't
This is a painfully sad story about a mother and a family with a son who came out as gay to them. And even though they were almost supportive, they made all the wrong moves. When you are straight you will never know what it is to be gay. You can't go by TV shows you've seen or by books you've read. Being gay is something you have to know from first hand experience.
This is really an interview with the mother. She talks about how she ...

Gay Marriage finds Bipartisan Alliance in Senate, Ryan Field Books
Gay Marriage finds Bipartisan Alliance in Senate
Ever since SCOTUS overturned Roe vs Wade, the senate has been working to codify same sex marriage in case SCOTUS decides to overturn same sex marriage on us.
And this week the senate is set to approve a bipartisan same sex marriage legislation that's being referred to as the Respect for Marriage Act.
Supposedly, this would protect same sex marriage just in case a judge like Clarence Thomas decided to overturn the 2015 landmark ruling of Obergefell v...

Candace Cameron Bure Will Focus on Traditional Marriage
Lately there's been an attack on LGBTQIA people. Some states have put gay propaganda laws in place, like the don't say gay bill in DeSantis Florida. I've heard different things about the bill from both conservative and liberals, but the bottom line is that this bill calls attention to us all over again in a very negative way.
With all this said, I'm linking now to an article about the GAC channel and Candace Cameron Bure. I'm not making a...

You Don't See Two Men Dancing Together Anywhere, Ryan Field Books
You Don't See Two Men Dancing Together Anywhere
This is more of an observation than a commentary. I've been following Dancing with the Stars this year because Trevor Donovan has been a contestant. And I've watched him grow and continue to get better as each week passes. However, I would never watch DWTS if it weren't for Trevor.
It's always been a straight show. It took 30 seasons for DWTS to actually pair a gay couple. That's right and it took 336 heterosexual pairings to reach that point.

You Don't See Two Men Dancing Together on Dancing With the Stars
I've been following Dancing with the Stars this year because Trevor Donovan has been a contestant. And I've watched him grow and continue to get better as each week passes. However, I would never watch DWTS if it weren't for Trevor. For one thing, I can't stand Bruno. And Alfonso has always been known to ask really dumb questions.
Here's another reason. DWTW has always been notoriously heteronormative. The male and females contestan...

Zachary Quinto Talks about the Fear of Gay Men in the Entertainment Industry
I'm always posting about the way the entertainment industry hires straight white writers to write gay content, and then they hire straight actors to play gayface. It's a form of cultural appropriation straights don't even want to acknowledge. The most recent example is Harry the Styles playing gayface in The Policeman. Harry can't even figure out why "labels" are important to many of us...because we are proud to be gay....

The Ways That Pushy Passive Aggressive Straight Women Objectify Men, Ryan Field Books
The Ways That Pushy Passive Aggressive Straight Women Objectify Men
Lately, I have seen so many straight women objectify a man that I know in the entertainment industry it's almost nauseating. It's usually a certain type of woman, too. She's always complaining about being on a diet but you never see results. She's usually middle aged, anywhere between 40 and 60. And she is almost always married...but not always. Sometimes the single middle aged straight women who find it hard to get dates can be ...
