Straight Actor Chris Meloni Gay Baits to Gay Men Online, Ryan Field Books
Straight Actor Chris Meloni Gay Baits to Gay Men Online
One of the reasons why we never watched the show "Oz" on HBO was because straight Chris Meloni was playing a bisexual for pay. As far as I know, Meloni has never come out as bisexual. It's no different than playing gay for pay. I believe Tom Hanks was correct when he said he would never play gay for pay again.
Apparently, Meloni was baiting young gay men on Twitter. I know it dates back to 2016, but it is still relevant. A very young "Oz" ...

Matt Bomer Playing Straight in Netflix Miniseries, "Echoes," Is Perfectly Fine, Ryan Field Books
Matt Bomer Playing Straight in Netflix Miniseries, Echoes, Is Perfectly Fine
Tony and I just finished watching Netflix's miniseries, Echoes. And we loved it. It's a complicated story involving devious twins and Matt Bomer plays one of their husbands. And even though he's openly gay in real life, it's perfectly fine for him to play a straight white male character who comes from a place of privilege. For one thing, he's NOT appropriating a marginalized group, and for another, he WAS in the closet ...

Gay Man Attacked At Gay Pride Event In Germany Dies, Ryan Field Books
Gay Man Attacked At Gay Pride Event In Germany Dies
On Twitter, I'm constantly hearing about how people are dying because of guns. But they never mention anything like this. Not even the so-called gay allies mention it.
A young gay German man named, Malte, recently died at a Pride Event after being attacked by a couple of homophobes. The German Government's Queer Commission issued a statement.
“Malte has died following a hate attack at the CSD Muenster,” Lehmann wrote on Twitter. “I'm stunned an...
Famous Runner Nico Young Comes Out As Gay, More About Billy Eichner's New Gay Movie, "Bros" Ryan Field Books
Famous Runner Nico Young Comes Out As Gay
I just love these coming-out stories. I see it more and more each day, with famous people and also not so famous people.
This time it's about the well-known champion runner, Nico Young. As most do these days, he came out on Instagram.
I have struggled to accept myself, but I am becoming more proud and happy with who I am. I have realized that the only reason I never liked this part of who I am was because of what society has told me, not because of how I...

A Caribbean Judge Strikes Down Old Colonial Anti-Gay Saint Kitts Law
On the global front, here's what's happening in the Caribbean. There was this colonial anti-gay and anti-sodomy law that was challenged by St. Kitts and Nevis Alliance for Equality.
“This decision strongly establishes that a person’s sexuality should never be the basis for any discrimination. We welcome the recognition of this fact, one for which we have long advocated,” said Tynetta McKoy, the executive director of SKNAFE, acco...

Pennsylvania's Openly Gay Brian Sims Who Recently Lost in the Democratic Primary Poses on Social Media, Ryan Field Books
Pennsylvania's Openly Gay Brian Sims Who Recently Lost in the Democratic Primary Poses on Social Media
I have nothing against Brian Sims and I wish him well. We probably agree on most issues.
However, I will never forget Pennsylvania's Brian Sims for his outrageous outburst on the street with a quiet peaceful protester who was protesting against abortion. It was awful. Tony and I were still living in New Hope, PA, and when I saw what Simms did, I cringed. There are better ways to go about making ...

Protestors In Belgrade March Against a Pride Event, Ryan Field Books
Protestors In Belgrade March Against a Pride Event
First of all, whoever wrote this story it is not Gay Pride. It's just Pride and it includes everyone who falls under the umbrella of LGBTQIA. This is why queer content should be written by queer people. These little details make a difference.
With that said, right-wing activists...just like we have here in the US with MAGA...have gone berserk in Belgrade because of a planned Pride event in September.
Belgrade is due to host the EuroPride march o...

This Gay Man Was Skeptical About Gay Marriage, Ryan Field Books
This Gay Man was Skeptical About Gay Marriage
This is one of those gay stories to which I truly cannot relate. For me, gay marriage meant that my long-term relationship with my "husband" was finally validated and we were legal. To me, gay marriage meant neither one of us would have to pay inheritance taxes. To me, it represented years of fighting for equal rights. To me, it made me equal with straights who are married. And I never ever took it to the lengths this gay man took it. Of course, ther...

Most Powerful Man In New York's Gay Nightlife Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations, Ryan Field Books
Most Powerful Man In New York's Gay Nightlife Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations
In my lifetime, I have seen and heard many stories like this before. But this one allegedly spans over a period of years. And it seems as if all the alleged victims wanted something in return, which they admit. This isn't a case of meeting someone in a gay bar and being sexually assaulted at random.
With that said, a lot of young gay men who are not out of the closet yet will tend to keep things like this quiet for...

Pride Event In North Carolina Allows Kids to Try Out Stripper Poles, Ryan Field Books
Pride Event In North Carolina Allows Kids to Try Out Stripper Poles
Speaking as a gay man who doesn't have kids, I think that if I did have kids I wouldn't want them trying out stripper poles. I wouldn't want them clinging to an almost naked woman either. As parents, I think there are times when the lines must be drawn.
In one of the photos, a scantily-clad woman can be seen holding onto a stripper pole with a young boy in her arms, who is also holding on to the pole.
Here's more. The woman is al...
