Wakefield Pool Pioneer in Gay Adult Content Dies, Ryan Field Books

Wakefield Pool Pioneer in Gay Adult Content Dies

I really hate the word porn so I didn't use it in the headline of this post. It's something straight people tend to use when they aren't familiar with adult content or smut. Gay people do it, too. It's just that I don't like the word because it brings up so many negative associations. 

With that said, here's a piece about the infamous Wakefield Pool who was known for his gay adult content. He decided to do gay adult films after watching something he...

Critics Call Gay Santa Ad Creepy, Ryan Field Books

 Critics Call Gay Santa Ad Creepy

A Norwegian Christmas ad is causing a shit storm because the postal service did a gay ad that critics claim sexualizes Santa Claus. As usual people always have to associate gay with sex. And that's not what being gay is all about. It's so much more than sex. 

The video depicts the couple's first encounter and showed that the pair would spend an evening together around Christmas time before Santa returns to his present-delivering duties.

Here's more. You can check t...

Russia Considers Restricting Gay Love Scenes Comparing Them to Porn, Ryan Field Books

 Russia Considers Restricting Gay Love Scenes Comparing Them to Porn

Nothing that comes from Russia with regard to LGBTQ rights is ever good news. And I feel so sorry for the LGBTQ people who live there. This is similar to what they all used to do with regard to any gay content at all. Even online book stores would restrict gay content, as they would with porn. And there didn't even have to be anything pornographic about the gay content. It simply had to be gay. 

Russia’s Parliament will consider ...

Eddie Redmayne Says Playing a Transgender Role Was a Mistake, Ryan Field Books

 Eddie Redmayne Says Playing a Transgender Role Was a Mistake For Him

When this story was trending earlier this week you should have seen the straight people lose their minds.  "It's acting, it's only acting," was the big reaction I kept seeing. And then there are always those geniuses who believe that if straights can't play gayface then gay actors can't play straight. They fail to realize that gay people (and all LGBTQ people) are part of a marginalized group, and also that all gay people WERE ...

Christian School That Fires Gay Teachers For Religious Freedom, Ryan Field Books

 Christian School That Fires Gay Teachers For Religious Freedom

From what I gather, there are a lot of so-called christians who do not support the LGBTQ community and they promote this in every part of their pinched little bigoted lives. One place is in their schools. They fire gay teachers and claim it's because of religious reasons, but those idiots never stop to realize a large part of the school is already gay. They really are so backward. It's as if they believe we are going to disappear. 

“T...

Gay Couple Is Denied Wedding In Bonita, CA, Ryan Field Books

Gay Couple Is Denied Wedding In Bonita, CA

I'm always trying to make the point that gay hate can be found anywhere. It's not just in Texas or other conservative states. It can be found in places like California, too. This time it's a place called Bonita, CA. 

“The person who answered the phone blatantly said, ‘we do not officiate weddings for same sex couples,’” said Gordon, EdD.

Here's more. They go into more detail about how this is not the norm. But does that really matter? This gay couple wante...

Straight Men Who've Been Called Gay for Basic Things, Ryan Field Books

Straight Men Who've Been Called Gay for Basic Things

I do think the general point here is that there's nothing wrong with being called gay. It's okay to be gay. Unfortunately, many straight people still haven't realized that. 

With that said, the word gay has come a long way in the last 50 years, but in some cases it's still being used as a pejorative. Of course you don't see it as often anymore, but it's still there. 

Recently there was a discussion on Reddit where straight men were being called g...

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinsons Says Straights are Superior to Gay People, Ryan Field Christmas Books

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson Says Straights are Superior to Gay People

Lt. Governor of NC, Mark Robinson, is a Republican and a conservative. He said that he believes straights are superior to gay people during a sermon he was giving in church. I'm sure there were many in the church who agreed with him, but I can't help wondering how sad it must have been for the closeted gay people sitting in the church that day. And you can bet your last dollar there were, indeed, closeted gay peop...

The Washington State Florist Just Settled With Gay Couple, Ryan Field Books

 The Washington State Florist Just Settled With Gay Couple

This has been going on for years and I know I've posted about it before. Back in 2013 a florist in Washington state refused to do the flowers for a gay couple's wedding. The florist refused to do the wedding because of her religious beliefs. So the gay couple took her to court and it's been ongoing all these years. 

“I am a Christian, and I believe the Bible to be the Word of God. That Word makes it clear that God loves all people so much ...

The Way a Basketball Coach Came Out As Gay, Ryan Field Books

 The Way a Basketball Coach Came Out As Gay

This is one of the more colorful coming out as gay stories you will read. It's also interesting because he talks about coming out as though it's a chore or a job. I never thought about it that way. I just say I'm gay and you can either like it or not. But this guy seems to take it more seriously, and I can't judge that. It's a different experience for all gay men. I, frankly, have reached a point where don't care what anyone thinks. 

“Having to ‘come out...
