Why Gay Men Can't Donate Sperm, Ryan Field Books
Why Gay Men Can't Donate Sperm
This is something I did not know.
The FDA actually restricts gay men from donating sperm if they have had sex with men for the last five years. Five years??
This article is about a guy named TreVaughn Roach-Carter. He tried to donate sperm but he was rejected because he's gay. He claims that as a gay black man he wants to help other gay couples who want to build families. And there is a shortage of black sperm donors. But the day after he gave his sperm, they reje...

What Exactly Is In the National Don't Say Gay Bill, Ryan Field Books
What Exactly Is In the National Don't Say Gay Bill
In short, this new national Don't Say Gay Bill the Republicans want to pass means the banning of instruction on gender identity, and any sexual orientation. They want this to be mandated from Kindergarten until 3rd grade. It's interesting to me because I knew I was gay when I was in kindergarten. And it wasn't a sexual thing. I didn't know what sex was then. It was more like knowing I was different from the others, but not in a good way. And when...

Now Republicans Want a National Don't Say Gay Law, Ryan Field Books
Now Republicans Want a National Don't Say Gay Law
Congressional Republicans are now pushing for a Don't Say Gay Law similar to what DeSantis did in Florida. It's called Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. Which means, in part, that no federal funds will go toward any sexually oriented programs. This includes literature for kids under 10.
They claim the bill defines any sexually-oriented material.
“any depiction, description, or simulation of sexual activity, any lewd or lascivious depiction o...

Provincetown Has One of the Best Gay Bars in America, Ryan Field Books
Provincetown Has One of the Best Gay Bars in America
For years, between 1992 and 2007, Tony and I had a set pattern. We would spend the week of Labor Day in Provincetown, MA, then we would return for Halloween weekend, and after that we would return for Christmas week and spend New Year's Eve there. We were there for Y2K. And even though the drive to Provincetown from New Hope took about 8 hours, we loved every minute of it. Provincetown is like going to gay heaven. Aside from a few straights, it...

Gay Afghan Student Murdered by Muslim Taliban, Russia Will Make Anti-Gay Propaganda Law Tougher, Ryan Field romance Gay Author
Gay Afghan Student Murdered by Muslim Taliban
Here's another awful story from the global front. An innocent young gay Afghan Student, Hamed Sabouri, was allegedly abducted, tortured, and murdered at a Taliban traffic checkpoint. And this is being considered the most recent act of violence in the midst of rising violence against gay men in that region.
He was tortured for 3 days, then shot, and the entire thing was videoed. These monsters then sent the video to his family.
Hamed's partner is gri...

Radical Teen Killed Two People Outside Gay Bar in Slovakia
On the global front there was more violence in front of a gay bar in the city of Bratislava in Slovakia. Some radical anti-gay teen gunman shot down 3 people outside of a gay bar. Two are dead and one is wounded.
They also found the attacker dead the next morning. Even though the police are still searching for a motive, Prime Minister, Eduard Heger, made a statement on Twitter that he will not tolerate any form of racism, white supremac...

A Father's Advice is Don't Use "Gay" As An Insult, Ryan Field Books
A Father's Advice is Don't Use "Gay" As An Insult
For most of my life I've been listening to certain straights...not all...use the word gay as either an insult or in an offhanded manner in a poor attempt to be funny. It's not funny now and it wasn't funny back when I was a gay kid and had to listen to it. And in a way, it's also a form of bullying.
And sadly, I still see it on social media in places like TikTok or Instagram. Toxic young straight men will joke and laugh that something or someone ...

No Male Full Frontal Nudity for Bobby Cannavale in "The Watcher," Ryan Field Books
No Male Full Frontal Nudity for Bobby Cannavale in "The Watcher"
The moment I saw that Bobby Cannavale would be starring in the new Netflix series, The Watcher, I was certain I would love it. I've been a fan of his for years, and I once posted about a full frontal nude scene he did in a previous series. The man was gorgeous then, and he's just as gorgeous today. Here's the link to that post.
In any event, I don't think we're going to see another male full frontal nudity scene in The Watcher. An...

Another Straight White Privilege is that You Can Move Wherever You Want, Ryan Field Books
Another Straight White Privilege is that You Can Move Wherever You Want
Whenever I see someone with straight white privilege claim they are poor and work hard I always try to come up with an example of what "privilege" really means. I now they don't "get" it. It has nothing to do with money or working hard. It has nothing to do with the kinds clothes you wear or the kind of car you drive. Straight white privilege refers to the fact that you have much more freedom to do (or say) whatever you want...

New York City Will Destroy Nude Sun-bathing Spot and Gay Sanctuary, Ryan Field Books
New York City Will Destroy Nude Sun-bathing Spot and Gay Sanctuary
I hate to see this happen.
NYC is planning to flatten and old hospital in Queens to build a public park. The only problem is that the old hospital shielded the nude gay sunbathers on the beach. Riis is a clothing optional beach, and always has been. Since the 1960s it's been a queer haven for gay men and many in the LGBTQIA community, including women. I'm sure there are straight men, too. I don't want to leave anyone out.
The old...
