Eric Arvin Video; Amazon Prime Price Raise? Big Penis Stories
Eric Arvin Video
I know a lot of people in the M/M genre have been following the health crisis with M/M author, Eric Arvin, through facebook updates by Arvin's fiancée, T.J. Klune. For the first time that I can recall a large, diverse group from all over the world has felt the emotion through an online connection that rivals anything I've seen before. Most recently, Klune posted a video of Arvin's recovery process on facebook and I wanted to share it with those who might not have seen it....

Greg Louganis on Sochi; Hawaii Stops Marriage Challenge
Greg Louganis on Sochi
As we get closer to the Olympics in Russia, more LGBTI people with platforms and voices have been speaking up in various forms. In this case it's Greg Louganis. Even though Louganis has been openly against a boycott, he has been vocal about having the games in a place that's so anti-gay they create laws to legally discriminate gays. It's hard to phrase that any other way. In most places it is against the law to discriminate, but in Russia laws have been created to make h...

Rimming Sparks Infection; Hugh C. Howey and Influencers; Ellen's New Comedy
Rimming Sparks Infection
The title of this part of the post is meant to be serious. According to this article there's been an outbreak of Shigella in the UK and they seem to be linking it back to rimming...oral/anal sex. Among the symptoms, this infection makes people feel as if they are dying. I have only one comment below.
Normally, Shigella is only contracted when travelling to foreign countries. But in gay and bisexual men, it is being spread through oral contact with feces or via unwashed...

Russian Actor Sued; Pink Poodle Attack; Free Gay Excerpt
Russian Actor Sued
When I posted about Russian sitcom actor, Ivan Okhlobystin, calling for gays to be burned alive, I had a feeling there would be some kind of follow up coming soon. In this case the actor is now being sued by a gay activist in Russia, Nikolay Bayev. Bayev seems to want justice more than money. He's asking for Okhlobystin to apologize and for what basically amounts to around $900 US dollars.
Okhlobystin made the comments during a speech to fans in the Siberian city of Novosibir...

Kirk Cameron on Gay Marriage; Gay Men and Lesbians and Tyler Curry
Kirk Cameron on Gay Marriage
Former childhood sitcom star, Kirk Cameron, recently commented on facebook about how the Grammy Awards glorified gay marriage and how it was an "assault on the traditional family."
The post was, undoubtedly, a means of self-promotion for the 43-year-old's newest flick, "Mercy Rule," which co-stars his wife and is apparently about "family, faith and baseball." Self-promotion drenched in homophobia, that is.
Cameron was not the only one to voice his condemnation...

Wedding Pics; Phineas Swann; "The State of Marriage" Film
Those who follow this blog know I don't usually post too much personal info, and rarely any photos. But I've been posting about gay marriage since I began this blog about six years ago and I would be highly remiss if I didn't at least post a few photos of my own marriage...and talk about a few points I think might interest a few people.

Consultation with Christine Pride; AIDS Discrimination
Consultation with Christine Pride
I'm not sure this would be for genre authors, but it might work for them, too. Christine Pride is an experienced editor with Random House and Hyperion who has edited eight NYT bestsellers. I found out about this consultation on an author blog, Nathan Bransford, and I thought I'd share it in case anyone is interested. I'll comment below.
Pride mentions this:
I’m offering a limited number of one hour Skype or phone sessions from February 10th to February...

Stars Famous for Penis; Gay History Russia
Stars Famous for Penis
I'm doing most of my posting from a tablet from Monday to Wednesday this week, so please excuse the changes in font and style. Here's a list of stars who have become well known for their penises. Most have other talents, too, so don't sell them short, so to speak. The first is Michael Fassbender. He’s thirty-six years old today, and if you’re anything like me and the rest of the population (whether female or otherwise), when anyone mentions his name, a giant image of a p...

Gay Journalist Beaten; Liberace's Lover Facing Jail Time
Gay Journalist Beaten
A young gay journalist living in Manhattan, Randy Gener, was found with his head bashed in on January 18th and now they are looking into whether or not it was a hate crime. The journalist is still alive, in stable condition, but can't answer questions. I would imagine he suffered enough head trauma to alter his memory as well. But that's just speculation.
When police arrived, the victim was lying in a pool of his blood with his head bashed in. According to Eyewitness...

Goldie Hawn Sorry to Gays; Lance Bass on Bachelor Star
Goldie Hawn Sorry to Gays
A photo tweeted by Goldie Hawn evidently started a minor firestorm because it was a pic of Hawn with anti-gay Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan. Hawn had no idea he was anti-gay, and she not only apologized but also admitted the photo should cause controversy.
Hawn, who deleted the tweet and apologized to a number of her Twitter followers, called Jonathan's anti-gay actions "very fear-based" and "full of hatred."
"It breaks my heart because I have my own personal f...
