"On the Road" Gay Sex; 3 Techies Do Healthcare Web Site (That Actually Works)
"On the Road" Gay Sex
When posting anything about the book or film, On the Road, by Jack Kerouac, it's simple to veer off topic because everything about the Beat Generation and their literary works is so fascinating. Whether knowing it at the time, or not knowing it, they challenged everything in heteronormative society during a time when the most popular songs in the mainstream had titles like Buttons and Bows and everyone believed films stars like Rock Hudson were straight and loved women. Anything...

Matt Damon and the Bachelor Clooney's 3 Million Dollar Ad; Seacrest FB Poll on 50 Shades Actors
Matt Damon and the Bachelor Clooney's 3 Million Dollar Ad
The other day I heard them talking about this on a morning show on TV and I earmarked a search to get more details. I read more, here. Aside from Matt Damon making 3 million dollars, which comes out to about $150,000 per second, the elderly actor, the bachelor George Clooney, is also in the ad but I didn't see anything about what he was paid.
The article states Damon usually turns down commercial ads. You have to wonder, though, whether...

Gay Defined by Apple Dic; Ricky Martin on Broadway
Gay Defined by Apple Dic
Evidently, the definition of "gay" in the Apple dictionary falls short in both substance and respect with regard to the LGBT community, and a fifteen year old girl with two moms has decided to challege this. It's a courageous move on her part, it's embarrassing for Apple, and it's not something most people know about. But then there's a lot about Apple most people don't know.
"At first, I was kind of in disbelief," Gorman stated, reportedly claiming that she couldn't f...

Authors & Paid/Fake Reviews; Maulik Pancholy Comes Out
Authors & Paid/Fake Reviews
I've posted a few times on the topic of authors paying for book reviews, and not always in a negative way. And I think there's an important distinction to make here. In other words, it's been a fairly standard practice in publishing to pay for reviews at known places like Kirkus since as far back as I can recall and there's nothing unethical about it. But these types of paid book reviews are costly and you are never guaranteed the proverbial five star rave...

Refusing Gay Customers; Accused of Spreading HIV;
Refusing Gay Customers
A nightclub in Atlanta refused to allow a transgender woman inside...because they can.
Caught on film, Brooks' friends ask the employee: 'Our friend was discriminated against by your security... the problem was she is transgender and [the bouncer] denied her entry.'The employee quickly interrupts: 'What's wrong with that?'- See more at: http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/atlanta-nightclub-refused-entry-trans-woman-because-we-can101113#sthash.tg9wtCLv.dpuf

Anne R. Allen: Does Sex Sell? Censored Gay Sex Scene From Here to Eternity
Anne R. Allen Post: Does Sex Sell?
According to a weak blog post over at Passive Guy whether or not sex sells is up for debate over at Anne R. Allen's blog. I've been a fan of Allen's for a long time and I love her work and I love her blog, too. And I actually agree with a good deal of what she posted, but I also think it was highly clever of her to actually write post about sex selling because posts about sex garner more hits than posts about Christmas cookies and kittens, which in a way...

Hawaiian Gay Votes Against Gay Marriage; Indy Mayor Against Marriage Ban
Hawaiian Gay Votes Against Gay Marriage
One of Hawaii's openly gay representatives, Jo Jordan, made history this week by being the first openly gay person in power to actually vote against marriage equality in Hawaii in what has often been a contentious fight at best. The reason why she voted against the bill is not because she's anti-same sex marriage. It's really because she isn't certain the law is as strong as it should be and as a legislator her solitary goal is to create an absolute law...

Gay Changes Since 1985; Gay Bigot of the Year
Gay Changes Since 1985
There's no mistaking that a great deal has changed for gay Americans since 1985. I've witnessed them all myself first hand, and I've seen the impact of what lead to many of these changes in only the past five years or so. Just in publishing alone I'm often stunned at how much has changed. In the year 2000 there were a handful of small indie LGBT publishers and only a handful of published openly gay authors. If you wanted to query an agent with gay content you didn'...

Male Nudes in Film: MrMan.com; FREE Gay Excerpt: Glendora Hill Series
Male Nudes in Film: MrMan.com
The founder of a web site that focuses on female nude scenes in films, Mr. Skin, has broken the double standard and created something brand new that now focuses on male nude scenes in films. And even more interesting, he's been marketing the naked male actors toward women but the majority of hits allegedly come from men. The article to which I'm linking claims it's "gay" men, but since there's no measure I know of that could accurately determine what...
