Jiri Tlusty Gay Kiss
As a gay man I have to admit I find this interesting. Two young guys, holding each other, tongues out pointed toward each other, and they aren't gay. Of course it's all about context with things like this, but at a glance, without knowing any back story, it's interesting to see a photo of Maple Leaf Rookie, Jiri Tlusty, in such a homoerotic pose.

Johnny Weir's Single
Johnny Weir is making the news again, and this time it's about a separation from his husband and domestic abuse charges filed in New Jersey where Weir allegedly bit his husband.
Further details of the split were scarce, as Philly.com pointed out , Weir's Twitter handle has been changed from "Weir-Voronov" back to "Weir."
News of the split comes just weeks after Weir reportedly appeared in a New Jersey courtroom on charges of domestic violence against his husband....

T.J. Klune Anthology
I've posted about the gathering of authors and readers coming together to support authors, T.J. Klune and Eric Arvin, since last December...Christmastime, here in several places. Arvin went through a very serious medical crisis and people associated with the m/m genre literally ran to their sides to support them in all kinds of ways that just rocked. Even people who didn't know them very well offered some kind of support. Klune and Arvin's devastating circumstances...

Lance Bass: Gay US President
You have to love the voices we give to those without much say. Here in the US it's becoming a tradition to give them platforms, and with Lance Bass leading the proverbial troupe. In this article he speculates that Franklin D. Roosevelt was probably gay. It could be a joke, but it's also a fascinating topic that's been talked about at length with other US Presidents, so the answer is a little surprising...especially when you consider the fact that FDR led one o...

Craigslist Gay Sex Ad
This local Philadelphia story is interesting because I just watched the most recent episode of Shameless where two gay thugs did almost the same thing to an unsuspecting older gay man they met in a hotel while soliciting sexual favors. In this case they got away with extortion and more.
But not in the Philadelphia case. A man tried to blackmail someone he met on Craigslist and in this case the victim only responded to the CL ad. He didn't actually do anything with th...

Real St. Patrick's Day Parade Story
In a follow up to yesterday's post, here's an article about NY mayor, Bill de Blasio, boycotting New York's St. Patrick's Day parade. Several beer companies have buckled to pressure from gay activists and they've pulled out as sponsors. But the problem is nothing is very clear about this, and even though the same issue happened in Boston, there were gay people marching in Boston, there was a "diversity float," and openly gay people in Bos...

Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade Kerfuffle
This is not as simple as it sounds, by any means. So stick with me until the end. There's an interesting twist to this parade deal you probably don't know about. I didn't know. I've been posting about the St. Patrick's Day parade in Boston, where the organizers of the event allegedly didn't want a gay activist group included, without getting some very important information. And then I posted that same group could be included as...

ARe Bestseller Badge
I'm always pointing readers toward allromanceebooks.com for a variety of reasons. One, they aren't Amazon and competition is a good thing. The only way to give Amazon a little competition is to give other companies some business. Otherwise, Amazon will, indeed, own you eventually. They've already raised the Prime thing to $99. And two, from a consumer POV I think ARe is probably one of the best retail web sites where e-books are sold. It's also one of the mo...

London Gay Pride Crowdfunded
With sponsors getting harder to find, London Pride will be utilizing crowdfunding this year to raise the money they need to do "a Pride people expect." For those who don't know, here's something I posted about crowdfunding last August. That post talked about how crowdfunding was being used to support failing brick and mortar bookshops struggling to survive in changing times. This time it's London Gay Pride that seems to be struggling.
They say it costs over £70...

FREE Gay Excerpt: Silver Lining Ranch
Silver Lining Ranch is the most recent full length novel in my Glendora Hill series and I'll be releasing it within the next week or so. I'll post a set date as soon as I'm certain it's ready to launch. This will be an indie release for me, and kind of a bonus book in the series that I wanted to price lower. In addition to this one, and Cowboy Christmas Miracle, there are two yet to be completed novels in the series coming out with Ravenous Romance. Each b...
