FREE Excerpt; Anti-Gay Homophone Boss; Zachary Quinto on Kids; Australia: Passive Aggressive Homophobia
Anti-Gay Homophone Boss
There's a guy who worked for a language web site in Utah. He was head of their social media department. Unfortunately, he was recently fired because he wrote something about homophones and the boss thought people might take it the wrong way and think the school was promoting homosexuality. I guess the homo was the confusing part.
Speaking to the Salt Lake City Tribune, Torkildson said after the post went public he was called into the office of the company...

Straight White Guy Festival
There are fliers popping all over a park in Columbus, Ohio that read, "Straight White Guy Festival," and they claim the event will take place September 20th. This is also the same park where they have the gay pride event annually. It seems to be some kind of statement, though, and no one seems sure if this is actually going to happen. So far, no one has applied for a permit to hold this festival for straight white guys.
If the fliers are legitimate, it wouldn't...

Penny Dreadful Gay Kiss; T J. Klune's Post; John Barrowman Flirts W/Straight Guy; No More Gay Ghettos?
Penny Dreadful Gay Kiss
An actor on the TV show, Penny Dreadful, talked about yet another gay kiss. The actor is Reeve Carney and from what I gather he's straight in real life.
I don't watch Penny Dreadful. But this sounds like the queerbaiting post I wrote yesterday. In fact, Carney basically admits it's queerbaiting and he doesn't even realize he's doing this. That's always the best part about these things. They don't know they're doing it. I recently read a blog post by an author who actual...

21 Gaycist Ways
If you don't know the definition of gaycist, here's a link that will explain it. And this next link explains 21 interesting ways to tell if someone is gaycist. It only gets into 21.
Here's one I see all the time:
1. You’ve asked a same-sex couple which one is the guy and the girl.
This one is common, too:
8. You think Macklemore and Lady Gaga are the voices of the gay rights movement.
This one gets me all the time.
16. As a straight person, you feel you can adequately define wh...

James Franco's Stunt
I've posted twice on this topic and I hope this is the last time. The only reason I'm doing it again is because I found another article at Huff Po about James Franco's recent stunt where he jokes around about his brother and Zac Efron being a gay couple. The article is basically the same as it was everywhere else, but this time the comments left by many seem to answer a lot of the questions I had about this so-called stunt.
Here's one that's a bit harsh:

Gay Slang Dictionary
When someone pointed me to this link a while back, I knew I'd wind up posting about it eventually. It's a web site that's a gay slang dictionary and I've found myself lost there more than a few times reading terms and phrases I never knew existed. From the way it looks, they keep it updated, too.
Here's one from the "P" section:
paint the bucketcolloq.
Anal intercourse.
And there are plenty more where that came from. You can check it out here, for anything about gay slang yo...

Lenny Kravitz's Bulge; David Tyree Reversal; James Franco an Idiot? Pretending To Be Gay Backfires
Lenny Kravitz's Bulge
When a friend sent me this link I smiled because it was about Lenny Kravitz. Tony and I have a guest apartment on our property that we rent and we actually rented to Kravitz's keyboard player, George Laks, about a year and a half ago. I kept that quiet for his privacy, but since he's been gone this long I see no need to keep it quiet any longer. Laks was a great tenant; no complaints. I wish they were all like him. And he's as adorable as Lenny Kravitz. One...

Edie Windsor; Eric Stonestreet: Bossy, Fussy, Bottom; HIV Cures; Free Gay Excerpt: Small Town Romance Author
Edie Windsor
When I think of the SCOTUS ruling in June 2013 I'll always think about how this moved gay marriage forward, and I'll always associate it with Edie Windsor. I'm linking to an article about Windsor where she talks about how she felt earlier in her life, pre-Stonewall. She wasn't an activist at the time, but you might be surprised to learn what actually changed her life in many ways.
'When Stonewall happened, I was really this ignorant middle class lady who said "I don't see why I ha...

Marco Rubio Gay Marriage
This interesting way to twist and spin things around is something that politicians like Marco Rubio have turned into an art form. At least I hope that's what it is because if he really believes this nonsense we're all in a lot of trouble. In short, at least from what I can gather from this link, Rubio claims that just because someone is not supportive of gay marriage that doesn't make him/her anti-gay. I've heard this convoluted logic before. I...

Republican & Gay Marriage
David Jolly is a freshman in the US House of Representatives from Florida and he's publicly supporting gay marriage. He's also a Republican, which for some reason this article seems to find fascinating.
'I believe it is fully appropriate for a state to recognize both traditional marriage as well as same-sex marriage,' Jolly, 41, said this week as he spoke about a recent judicial ruling that made same-sex marriage legal in Florida's Monroe County.
