Stephen Baldwin: Pray Gay Away
The Rising From the Ashes is a conference where different ministries get together to promote the concept of "freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ." Actor Stephen Baldwin recently defended his choice to speak at the conference.
"I wouldn't say that my message is, 'You can pray the gay away,'" Baldwin said. "Literally, some of my best friends in the world are gay, and they know I'm evangelical and I know they're gay, and we love each other and respec...

What's A Gay Otter?
If you've never heard the term "Otter" before with respect to gay culture, don't worry about it. I didn't even know what it was until recently. I asked Tony what it was; he didn't know. And at a small dinner party recently I asked a table of eight filled with LGBT people and none of them knew. Everyone knew the term "Bear," but not Otter.
And that's because Otter is actually a term that's part of Bear sub-culture. Urban Dictionary describes Otter this way:

Erotic Authors Strike Back; NYT Sex Issue Sans Romance Authors
Erotic Authors Strike Back
The title of the article to which I'm linking now is "Self-published Erotica Writers Strike Back," but once again, that's not completely true and the article is misleading on several levels. When large retail web sites where e-books are sold started targeting/censoring books for questionable content, they did begin with self-published books. But I know for a fact that e-publishers are now dealing with the fallout, too.
I hesitate to post anything more about that unti...

$100,000 to Look Like Bieber; More E-Books on Allromanceebooks.com (by Ryan Field)
$100,000 to Look Like Bieber
A thirty-three year old man went through five years of cosmetic surgery and spent $100,000 to look like Justin Bieber. Now that's real fandom.
Not only is songwriter Toby Sheldon a 33-year-old Justin Bieber fan , his Bieber-devotion would blow teeny-bopping Beliebers out of the water .
That's because Sheldon went so far as to spend almost $100,000 on five years worth of plastic surgery to make him look like his idol, according to the British tabloid Closer .

8 Companies Don't Support Gays; Eminem's Gay Slurs
8 Companies Don't Support Gays
I honestly don't know much about this, other than what I've read and posted about Barilla, but according to this article there are 8 other companies that don't support gay rights. A few like Chick-fil-a won't surprise you, but several others will.
I stopped eating Domino's in college when a good friend informed me that they gave money to anti-choice groups. But their pizza isn't good, so it's not like I was really giving up anything awesome. However, in addition t...

Straight Guys Flirt with Gays
If you talk to any gay man and mention straight guys flirting with gay guys the gay man won't look back at you in shock. And that's because it happens all the time. But more important, in this case there's really no set rule or stereotype to follow either and in many cases the flirting sometimes leads to more...but not always.

Man Picks Up Tab
If you, a friend, or a family member has ever received that dreaded phone call about a diagnosis that's going to change your entire life, you'll understand this article to which I'm linking. A guy in Boston was sitting next to two women...mother and daughter...and he overheard them actually get a diagnosis on the phone and saw them break out on tears. And what this guy did after that is amazing.

Tastier Semen
I noticed an interesting article over at gayguys.com and thought I'd share it. What you do with this information is up to you, and everyone I've ever met seems to have a different opinion on this subject. Some go, "ick," others go, "yum." If nothing else, there are a few good healthy eating tips most of us could benefit from.
Our semen taste is a major result of what we eat, so if you’re eating Quarter Pounders all day, you better sit down and take some notes. Food alters not...
