Spreading HIV On Purpose
A few weeks ago I posted about a gay man who found out from friends on social media that the guy he was in love with and hoping to marry had intentionally infected him with the HIV virus. You can read more about that here. This gem of a guy had allegedly been spreading HIV to others as well and brags about it on social media.
His name is Miguel Guerra, and he also goes by Ashton Chavez. In California where this happened it's considered a misdem...

Hot Hunky Ginger Boys
There's always been something about a guy with red hair that made me stop and look. And this article about these particular ginger guys is multi-faceted because of the nature of the focus and the way it was funded.
Photographer Thomas Knights sought funding through indiegogo for a book about ginger guys, in hopes that he could end "gingerism."
He said: “This is a book that is not only pleasing on the eye, but also holds a mirror up to current perceptions of male beauty and...

LGBT Homeless Crisis
I keep hearing more about this as if it's becoming an epidemic. It's good and bad. Younger gay people seem to be reaching out...and coming out...more each day thanks to what I think are changing times, and many are being turned away by parents or guardians. Last week I posted about a gay teen who was rejected by his family. His story went viral and he wound up garnering something like $100,000 through crowdfunding support, and now he's making a plea to redirect f...

RIP Joan Rivers
RIP Joan Rivers
Last week I posted about Joan Rivers having a simple endoscopic procedure in a Manhattan clinic where she went into cardiac arrest. It shocked me that any clinic would take an 81 year old as an outpatient without considering the risks. My own mother has had several of these procedures this past year and her doctors insisted she have them in a hospital just in case there were any complications. My mother also suffered a heart attack during one and thankfully in her case she was...

Michael Sam With Dallas Cowboys
Many were disappointed when Michael Sam wasn't picked up by the St. Louis Rams, however, he's now hoping to be picked up by the Dallas Cowboys and he's thrilled about it.
The Daily Mail reports that Sam flew in to Dallas yesterday and will take a physical for the Cowboys today. If he passes, a source indicates that he will most likely be signed to the team’s practice squad.
According to this article, some have said Sam's being gay and homopho...

Zak Hardaker Denies Homophobia
I'm honestly not so sure about this one, this time. I posted about English rugby player, Zack Hardaker, in June because he was banned for allegedly calling another player a gay pejorative. You can read about that here. He's now being accused of more homophobic language and there is no actual concrete evidence to support this. He's denying it, with emphasis.
It's being "investigated" right now and no one has released any of the alleged language he used. I'm m...

Six Tips Gay Online Cruising
You know how I'm always talking about playing it safe on Grindr and Craigslist when it comes to hooking up with someone online? Well here's an article that offers a few fairly decent tips about online cruising/meeting (I don't think everyone "cruises" online...some want to meet people, too) that I think will help make you safer. A few are pretty boilerplate. But it's better than nothing. I'll comment below.

Gay Sailor's Dream; Real Life Gay For You; Daniel Ashley Pierce: Painful Coming Out Story
Gay Sailor's Dream
In conservative S. America, a Chilean sailor found the strength to come out. It's not something that happens often. He's hoping that by coming out in this environment he will help break some of the myths about gays...in all respects and pave the way for others. I talk about this kind of thing all the time here, the way the mainstream public has some misguided impressions about all LGBTI people.
Ruiz was accompanied by gay activists for his announcement, which he said was not...

Opera Singer Fired For FB Update
This is one of those stories that might leave some people questioning many things about today's society, freedom of speech, the PC Police, privacy, and social media in general. Last weekend I noticed something in my FB news feed that was a little disturbing. Someone posted a photo of an unsuspecting person in a grocery store and I don't think the person who posted the photo asked for permission. In this case, it was a good looking young guy and it was...
