I Love Penis Cake; Barry Eisler on Pot & Gays; Chase of a Lifetime Series by Ryan Field

I Love Penis Cake

I hadn't heard about this until now, but evidently gay teens are now opting for more creative ways to come out, and they aren't holding back a thing. In this particular case gay teen, Keanu Williams, came up with an "I Love Penis" cake for his coming out.

"I wanted to do something different to tell them and making a video let me tell people I don't see everyday something that recently happened in my life," Williams writes on his YouTube page . "I'm happy and don't regret what...

Fed Gov't Honors Utah Marriages; Coming Out Reactions; Hot Guy Pic

Fed Gov't Honors Utah Marriages

In a highly supportive move, Eric Holder made the announcement that the federal government will, indeed, recognize the same sex marriages performed in Utah even though same sex marriage is NOT recognized any longer in Utah. If you haven't been following this, you can read more here where I've been posting for a while. It's been a rollercoaster because gay marriage was legal for about five minutes in Utah, many LGBTI people got married, and then it wasn't legal o...

Pope Francis: Minister with Care; Journalist Outs Gay Politician?

Pope Francis: Minister with Care

In what many are calling remarkable strides in lessening the divide between all Catholics, Pope Francis recently made another move where he told an important women's group to tread with care when ministering to children of same-sex couples because he doesn't want to alienate these children from the church...or from faith.

‘On an educational level, gay unions raise challenges for us today which for us are sometimes difficult to understand,' Pope Franci...

FREE Gay E-Book; 2014 Predictions; James Franco; Doubledickdude

FREE Gay E-Book

Update: Evidently, Twitter has suspended the account of the man with two penises...read more below.

Excuse the bad title of this part of the post, but I do these things for specific reasons. And this month I'm putting the e-book, The Women Who Love to Love Gay Romance, up for free on certain web sites. I'll leave it up for free from now until Valentine's Day. It's an interesting, naughty book, with interesting stories by some very excellent authors, and I first posted...

Goodreads 25 Million; Ken Doll Porn; Cher Marks Her Territory

Goodreads 25 Million

According to this article in galleycat, Goodreads.com, a social network for readers, authors, publishers and anything book related, topped 25 million users this past year.

Amazon’s social reading platform Goodreads now has 25 million members, almost double the number of members that it had at this time last year.

I think this is interesting for several reasons. One, there was a firestorm over book reviews and alleged bullying over the past year and a half at goodreads and I...

10 Most Pirated Films 2014; Rainbow Award Allegations; Guys Wearing Socks

10 Most Pirated Films 2014



In a way, it feels better for some reason to post about those who pirate films instead of books...for a change. This article talks about the 10 most pirated films of 2014. But what's even more interesting is the comment thread where one brave man decided to challenge film piracy and the comments that follow remind me of a lot of e-book discussions I've heard.

The guy's name is Ryan...it's really not me. But I would have said basically what he said...

Out of curiosity,...

Utah Man's Hunger Strike; Ricky Martin and Boyfriend Split

Utah Man's Hunger Strike

Update: The link below was not to Meacham's blog. It's a link to something else that talks about Meacham. I couldn't find the direct link to Meacham's blog, so I just removed it altogether. If I find it, or someone else finds it, I'll add it.

This is probably one of the quirkiest things I've posted about in a while. There's a nice looking young man in Utah, Trestin Meacham, who recently blogged about going on a hunger strike until gay marriage is banned compl...

Guy with Two Penises; Free Gay Excerpt Loving Daylight; Charlie Crist is Sorry



Guy with Two Penises

Yesterday a friend sent me a link about a man with two penises. At first I thought it was a joke and the photos were shopped. But then I made the social media rounds and by coincidence saw other people talking about it. Evidently, it's a rare syndrome called Diphallia and it can and does happen.

You can read more here.

And here are the links someone posted photos.

Peculiar Author Predictions for 2014; Amazon Pulls Anti Gay Book?

Peculiar Author Predictions for 2014

Although they are not the grand publishing predictions of author Joe Konrath for 2014, there's something unsettling about how American scientist and sci-fi author, Isaac Asimov, nailed more than a few predictions over fifty years ago that have actually been realized today.

One of which is...

"By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use."

You may not realize what electroluminescent panels are, but these thin, bright panels are used...

Don Jon Film Review; Gay Mayor Atlantic City NJ

Gay Mayor Atlantic City NJ

In what many are calling the beginning of changing times, the new mayor of Atlantic City, New Jersey was recently sworn in and there are several significant facts about him worth mentioning. One, he's gay. Two, he's Republican. And three, he's interested in the concept of giving free land to the poor. He's also the first Republican mayor there in 23 years.

Don Guardian was sworn in as the resort city’s 49th mayor amid a brutal slowdown that has seen it lose its place...
