Tom Hanks Says He Wouldn't Play a Gay Role Today and Rightly So
When this comment from Tom Hanks went viral on Twitter yesterday you should have seen the straight people go wild. "It's acting, it's only acting," was the most common complaint. But some even believe that if we limit straight actors from playing gay for pay then we have to limit gay actors from playing straight. Which makes no sense. All gay people WERE straight at one time, plus we are the marginalized group. Oh, that was another ...

Right-Wing Maga Types Are Targeting Pride Events and Drag Queen Story Hour
With the climate as it is right now in the US, and with politicians in places like Florida creating anti-gay legislation, I'm not surprised by this. Right-wing straight white groups are not going to let go of their privilege easily. Plus, there's a lot of anti-gay rhetoric going around and it's increasing with each day. I see it on social media all the time from straights who follow MAGA.
This is what happened during Drag...

Lightyear Movie and Critics about Gay Scenes, Gay Men Talk About Body Shaming and Eating Disorders, Ryan Field Books
Lightyear Movie and Critics about Gay Scenes
I'm torn with this film because it's more straight people doing gay content, and it's also being banned in certain places. While I hate to see anything LGBTQIA banned anywhere, I'm also not fond of straights doing gay content. But I'm not throwing shade. It's not my genre and it's difficult to figure out how it's all going down.
Actor Chris Evans who is very straight is now speaking up about the gay characters in Lightyear because it's been banned in ...

The Gay Pride Quilt and What it Represents, Ryan Field Books
The Gay Pride Quilt and What it Represents
I'm using the word Gay here because as I recall from personal experience AIDS mostly affected gay men, at least here in the US. Maybe in the UK. I'm not sure about that. But I am sure about what happened in the US. Yes, a few straight people got it through transfusions and sex, but it was mostly concentrated on gay men and it wasn't an LGBTQIA "thing." The word "queer" was a HUGE pejorative at that time. Gay marriage was only a dream in the distance. Co...

The Christians Are Worried About LGBTQIA Propaganda
I usually link to pro-LGBTQIA news items or commentaries, but this time I want to link to one of those weird Christian websites just to show people how homophobic they are. They're not only homophobic, they are backward and unsophisticated in the most obvious ways. But I don't want to digress here. This is about the homophobia LGBTQIA people face on a daily basis.
This is actually a petition they're circulating to basically promote these don't ...

Gay Families Moving Out of Florida Because of Don't Say Gay Bill,
Gay Families Moving Out of Florida Because of Don't Say Gay Bill
I'm hearing that a lot of gay families and gay people are moving out of Florida because of the Don't Say Gay Bill. They fear for the future of their families and they don't know what else might happen there that causes them more anguish and pain.
This video is proof of what I'm hearing lately from people I know in Florida.
Jordan Letschert and Robby Price are teaching their son Kellan how to talk about their family. But recent anti...

Texas Pastor Advocates Violence Against Gay People, Ryan Field Books
Texas Paster Advocates Violence Against Gay People.
This is really dangerous. When you see a pastor say things like this you have to wonder what kind of religious beliefs he follows. The entire church is labeled an anti-gay hate group.
"I’m angry this morning because our entire country is celebrating the worse sin in the Bible," Awes said during the sermon referring to Pride Month, which commemorates the LGBTQ+ community every June.
Here's the rest. I'm sure he's lost all credibility with most no...

A Great Book by Colton Haynes: Miss Memory Lane, Ryan Field Books
A Great Book by Colton Haynes
I finally finished reading Miss Memory Lane by Colton Haynes and I loved it. It's a memoir with a collection of memories that covers almost all of Colton's life, from childhood to the present. And he really gets into more than a few highly emotional scenes from his childhood. He doesn't hold back.
Aside from the fact that Colton talks about his family, his friends, and a few of the people who have influenced him in his life, I couldn't help but read this book from...

Texas Investigates a Trans Family and Now the Trans Family Is Suing the State
Here's a story about three Texas families with trans kids. The state of Texas has been investigating these families for over gender-confirming treatments and I guess the families got sick of it. Now they're suing the state.
The lawsuit filed on Wednesday is the latest challenge over the state looking into such treatments as child abuse. The lawsuit also asks a Texas judge to block similar investigations against other m...
