Facebook Spends 19 Billion; Pussy Riot Attack; Patrick Stewart Laughs It Off
Patrick Stewart Laughs It Off
The Guardian recently made a mistake by stating Patrick Stewart was "homosexual." And when Stewart who obviously isn't gay found out about it he took it well and wrote a hilarious tweet.
"Well @guardian it makes for a nice change," he tweeted Tuesday. "At least I didn't wake up to the Internet telling me I was dead again."
You really do have to take all things Internet with a proverbial grain of salt. I have read things about myself on Absolutewrite.com in...

Penis Museum
Evidently, there's a penis museum in Iceland that displays all things penis, from whale penis to over 90 other varieties, including human penis. In more scientific terms, it's called The Icelandic Phallological Museum.
Even the polar bear chained to one of Reykjavik’s most popular shops seemed to snicker at me as I struggled to take a selfie with him/her.
And what an adorable selfie it is, too! This guy, Jean Paul Zapata, could be a character in any number of my books. He's t...

Nico Lang on Gay For Straight Guys
Nico Lang on Gay For Straight Guys
There's an interesting piece in Huff Po written with a pithy tone meant to be quasi sarcastic at times that's eye-opening, but also falls short in a few cringe worthy places. It's another one of those open letters, with flaws. I think we're all getting a little sick of them. I know if I see "Open Letter" on something now I often just roll my eyes and skip over it. And that's shame, too, because it could be interesting if it wasn't trying too hard to...

Hugh C. Howey Author Report; Death to Gays; Pussy Riot Arrest
I like to post about everything on this blog from the most serious human rights issues to the most ridiculous pop culture happenings involving Justin Bieber and his little monkey. I think the information to which I'm linking about Hugh C. Howey's Author Report falls somewhere in between. Hugh C. Howey, an aggressive self-published author who some refer to as an advocate for all self-published authors, and some even claim as their hero, launched a web site called Author Report t...

Gay Ear Wax; Italian Trans Arrested in Sochi; Kansas Anti-Gay Bill
Gay Ear Wax
There's yet another study out that claims ear wax can determine someone's sexual orientation. And this study is an offshoot from one about arm pit odors and sexual orientation. I'm not joking.
They say new tests could be developed to prove identification, like similar tests that have been done with odors from people’s armpits.
'Our previous research has shown that underarm odors can convey a great deal of information about an individual, including personal identity, gende...

Penis Sculpture Hits Hard
When I posted about three young women at Rowen University sculpting a generous penis in snow, yesterday, I had no idea there was once a shitstorm brewing in a small town in California in 2010 over another penis sculpture.
Naturally, the townsfolk were dismayed when show members arrived in fur and began frolicking in the “white fluid” that began spewing out of the sculpture. Although I appreciate a good cock now and then, this probably wasn’t the be...

Sneaky Advertorials: The Testosterone Report and My Little Rant
The Testosterone Report
When I posted about sneaky, questionable advertorials last week, I made small mental note to post an example when I saw one. And this one is about a topic that affects millions of men...baby boomers in mid-life right now...all over the globe who are hanging on to that last ounce of youth (and sex) for as long as they can.
The fact is that men are expected to perform sexually no matter what. They are supposed to have the same erection at fifty they had at twenty-fiv...

Epic Snow Penis; Get Off Your Ass; Rosie O'Donnell on Staying in the Closet
Epic Snow Penis
Three talented young women from Rowen University took advantage of the recent snow storms in Glassboro, NJ, and built what can only be described as an epic penis snow sculpture. It's a very ambitious gesture, and one I wouldn't attempt on my own. I don't even know if they are fine arts majors, or just avid fans of penis structure.
You can view it here.
Everyone needs a good hobby.
The photo above is not the snow penis I'm linking to now. But it's just as authentic, if not m...

Vermont Wedding Photos; The State of Marriage Documentary by Jeff Kaufman
I received a few photos from film producer, Jeff Kaufman, today of our wedding in Vermont last month and wanted to share. I've already posted about the wedding here, and below I'll post more about the documentary, The State of Marriage , with an excerpt Jeff e-mailed to me with award winning playwright, Terrence McNally, and his partner, Tom Kirdahy. It's an interesting interview I think most same sex couples can relate t...

Penis Politics
This article to which I'm linking talks about the way some gay men tend to exaggerate when it comes to penis size. And, how studies have shown penis size has a direct correlation to capitalism and money. It also discusses Grindr and how it's hard to depend on anything at a glance, so to speak. But most of all, it talks about the unrealistic expectations most gay men have when it comes to penis politics.
Instead of holding out for an unrealistic fantasy, Justin Huang believes gay...
