Please Don't Associate Us with "Gay Penguins," Christian School Asks Parents to Sign a Contract that Could Exclude Gay and Trans Students, Ryan Field Gay Romance
Please Don't Associate Us with "Gay Penguins"
I know this looks harmless at a glance, but how many other marginalized groups of people are being compared to birds and animals? Try doing this with any other marginalized group and see where it gets you.
A gay penguin couple are now proud parents after the egg they had been caring for hatched early last month.
Here's more. You can refer to them as two male penguins caring for an egg, or just call them a couple. There are many ways to word this. But y...

Doritos Is Facing a Boycott for Refusing to Take Down Ad with Gay Couple, Ryan Field Books
Doritos Is Facing a Boycott for Refusing to Take Down Ad with Gay Couple
This reminds me of the lesbian ad with the Hallmark channel. If you recall, a few years ago the Hallmark channel pulled several ads with a lesbian couple who were kissing. A conservative religious group made enough noise to get them to take the ads down. However, after enough negative feedback for taking the ads down, Hallmark backtracked and apologized. They put the ads back up, too.
At the time, Bill Abbot was the Preside...

Two Gay Men Executed In Iran For Sodomy
What a disgusting country!! Just how cruel can these awful backward barbarians be?
Two gay men were executed for sodomy in f$#king Iran after they served six years in prison for the same crime.
Karmel Melamed, a journalist covering Iran, wrote on Twitter that the “Ayatollah regime” in the country “just executed two gay men” by “hanging” for the “crime of sodomy”.
Here's more. Although it's rarely mentioned, this is always based on Islamic beliefs. But they ...

The New "No Homo Promo" Law in Good Old Florida, Ryan Field Gay Romance
The New "No Homo Promo" Law in Good Old Florida
Here's more about that new bill they just approved in Florida that's designed to silence gay voices and gay information in schools. It's not a law yet, but they are pushing it through quickly. It's being called "The Parents Rights in Education Bill." In other words, it means that homophobic Christian parents want no mention of anything gay or LGBTQ in the classrooms. They want us completely silenced, which can be very dangerous for gay kids just com...

Ben Wishaw Doesn't Always Believe Straights Playing Gay Parts, Ryan Field Gay Romance
Ben Wishaw Doesn't always Believe Straights Playing Gay Parts
Most people don't realize that when Abe Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address he used one-syllable words and he kept it short and sweet. He was a smart man who knew how to make his point. Anything longer or more self-indulgent and he would have lost his audience.
With that said, this is a very LONG piece about Ben Wishaw, the actor. It's so long they almost lost me, but I wanted to get to the part where he talks about straights playing ...

Gay Mayor In Hyattsville Maryland Found Dead, Ryan Field Books
Gay Mayor In Hyattsville Maryland Found Dead
Here's a not-so-happy story about an openly gay mayor in Maryland that was found dead. Kevin Ward was only 44 years old and he took office in 2020. I don't remember posting about him so I guess it didn't make major news. Usually, whenever a gay person runs for public office it makes the gay presses.
What's even sadder is that he allegedly died by suicide.
Ward’s body was discovered by police in Fort Marcy, which is a park in McLean, Va., outside Washin...

Top Psychiatrist Goes Cruising for Gay Sex at a Park and Gets a Bloody Beating, Ryan Field Books
Top Psychiatrist Goes Cruising for Gay Sex at a Park and Gets a Bloody Beating
This is why no gay man can ever think that he is safe. We've all gone cruising at one point or another and we've all faced the dangers that go along with cruising. Some of us get lucky. Some of us get arrested. Most of us wind up going home alone. And some of us wind up severely beaten and left for dead. It's a rough way of life.
Father-of-two Dr Gary Jenkins, 54, suffered horrific injuries when he was attacked as he w...

Pope Francis Says Support Gay Kids, Ryan Field Books
Pope Francis Says Support Gay Kids
This Pope constantly seems to be going back and forth with LGBTQ issues. I'm not always sure why, but at least this time it's positive. Of course, I wish he wouldn't compare being gay to an illness or an accident. That doesn't sound quite right. But at least he's saying parents should support them instead of kicking them out of the house.
In speaking about how parents should always stand by their children during difficult times, including illness or accidents, ...

Romance Cover Model and Playgirl Cover Model Julian Fantechi is Back on Social Media, Ryan Field Books
Romance Cover Model and Playgirl Cover Model Julian Fantechi is Back on Social Media
I can't believe it's been this long, but back in 2010 I became acquainted with the nicest guy I think I've ever met online. He caught my eye because he was doing romance covers at the time and he was definitely in high demand. At that time, I had no control over what kind of models my publishers chose for my books, but that didn't stop me from becoming cyber friends with Julian for a short time. I wanted to use ...

New generation wants to bring gay bars back
After watching many gay bars disappear in the last 20 years this story sounds promising. I hope it works out.
Early next year, Pike and partner Jo McDaniel plan to open As You Are Bar on Barracks Row in Southeast Washington. It’s one of a handful of queer spaces set to open in coming months.
Here’s the rest. They go into a longer detailed version of the history of gay bars and how important they’ve always been to the LGBT community.
