Once Again, Randy Rainbow and His Racist and Transphobic Comments

I'm posting this story about Randy Rainbow once again because he was trending on Twitter and so many were all love and kisses. I find him fake and repulsive. And that's because of his transphobic and racist comments. And I don't hold well with those fake public apologies. I never made racist or transphobic comments and neither did anyone I know. Anyone reading this probably never made racist or transphobic comments. So why should t...

Opinion Piece on Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill, Ryan Field Books

 Opinion Piece on Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill

Here's an interesting op-ed piece about how Florida's don't say gay bill can hurt someone. It's written by someone named Will Larkins who's a junior in high school. He's a kid who's experiencing all this firsthand right now. Just a kid. And I think this is the way almost every LGBTQ kid feels. I know I felt that way. And pay attention. It has nothing to do with sex or sexuality. 

From an early age I knew I was different. I wasn’t interested in the thi...

Disney Finally Takes Stand On Don't Say Gay Bill, Ryan Field Books

 Disney Finally Takes Stand on Don't Say Gay Bill

Disney finally took a stand on that horrible don't say gay bill that is so beloved to the family-friendly right-wing Christian crowd in Florida. It is what it is and I'm tired of being polite about it. The people who support this bill are despicable. They have no respect for human rights. And most are too stupid to know that just talking about being LGBTQ is not about sex or sexuality. 

In any event, Disney CEO, Bob Chapek, finally said that Disney...

If Straight White Privileged Lori Loughlin Can Get Her Career Back So Can Jussie Smollett, Watch Out For Anything "Family Friendly, Ryan Field Books

 If Straight White Privileged Lori Loughlin Can Get Her Career Back So Can Jussie Smollett

If you recall, straight white Lori Loughlin who plays a sugary sweet role on a "family-friendly" cable channel, was sentenced to a couple of months in prison plus she got a heavy fine for her part in that college entrance scandal a few years ago.  I think she even did community service. I'm not focusing on those details right now. I'm only focusing on the fact that Loughin got her life back and she got her ...

Homophobic Joy Reid Thinks the War on Ukraine Gets More Attention Because They Are White and Christian, Ryan Field Books

Homophobic Joy Reid Thinks the War on Ukraine Gets More Attention Because They Are White and Christian

After I read about her homophobic posts, I have no great love for Joy Reid. I find her to be disingenuous, lacking in substance, and I believe she has a low IQ. 

She's also homophobic. She wrote homophobic content multiple times, posted them, and later she claimed she either didn't remember them or that she was hacked. No one of which I believe. It was all damage control so she could continue to ...

Straight Authors Writing Gay Characters, More on Bob Chapek, Disney, and Don't' Say Gay Bill, Ryan Field Books

 Straight Authors Writing Gay Characters

I try to remain neutral with this topic but it’s not always easy because I see so much appropriation all the time I get frustrated. With that said I found a nice piece about straight white authors writing gay fiction that handles the topic with care. And even though I don’t agree with it all I respect it. As a gay man, the problem I always find with straights writing gay content is that they never get it right. And they always want to straight-splain how i...

This Writer is Done with the Not So Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jewface, and Cultural Appropriation

When I was in college I took one of those history of film courses and I remember being shocked to learn that older films constantly used straight white actors to play Asian characters, straight white actors to play Native American characters, and they never thought twice about what they were doing. A few years later, a straight white woman named Annie Proulx wrote a gay story called Brokeback Mountain a...

Facebook Supports Homophobic Anti-Maskers, Indian Government Stops Film by Gay Soldier, Ryan Field Books

Facebook Supports Homophobic Anti-Maskers

This is the truth, and it happened to a  good friend of mine. For years on Facebook, my friend posted nothing but things about recipes and bipartisan topics. I can safely say that she's never been political and she's remained true to LGBTQ issues. As far as I know, she's never offended anyone and she's never caused anyone harm. If you knew this person you would know she wouldn't do that under any circumstances. However, recently this friend of mine was re...
