Mexico's Infamous Gay Scandal Now a Netflix Movie, Ryan Field Books

 Mexico's Infamous Gay Scandal Now a Netflix Movie

I honestly know nothing about this scandal. I never even slightly heard about it. And I have to admit that it looks fascinating. The story is 120 years old, which makes it about gay history. You don't see that often, especially with regard to Mexico. 

More than 120 years after an infamous police raid rocked Mexican high society, Netflix has released "Dance of the Forty One," a fictionalized retelling of a major political scandal that has had a las...

Billy Porter Breaks His Silence On Being HIV Positive For 14 Years, Jeremy Irvine From That Hated Movie "Stonewall" Plays Gay Again, Ryan Field Books

Billy Porter Breaks His Silence On Being HIV Positive For 14 Years

The fact that Billy Porter is speaking up openly about this is amazing to me. So many people don't talk about it and it's often because there's still that unspoken stigma attached to HIV. He was diagnosed in 2007 which hits close to home for me. My husband, Tony, was also diagnosed with HIV in 2007 and he almost died of full-blown AIDS that summer. I've posted about Tony's hospitalization for pneumonia in 2007 a few times here on ...

Alireza Fazeli Is the Gay Man Who Was Beheaded In Iran Recently, 13 Countries Where Being Gay Is Punishable by Death, Ryan Field Books

 Alireza Fazeli Is the Gay Man Who Was Beheaded In Iran Recently

I've already posted about this a few times and I'll keep posting about it for as long as I can. This sort of thing cannot be ignored any longer. 

Alireza Fazeli was a beautiful young gay man in Iran who simply wanted to escape the horrors of Iran and live his life as an openly free gay man in the west. And he was so close to getting out of that hideous country, too. However, his own barbaric family beheaded him in what's being termed...

Ewan McGregor Plays Gayface In "Halston" TV Series With No Shame, Ryan Field Books

Ewan McGregor Plays Gayface In "Halston" TV Series With No Shame

I'm beginning to think that gay people will wind up becoming the only marginalized group in the history of this entire world where it's okay to appropriate them and their culture in films and in books. Even though there's been an ongoing discussion about whether or not straight privileged actors should play gayface, Hollywood continues to do it without apology and they come up with a million reasons why it's okay for them to do it. ...

Joey Gentile Authentic Gay YouTube Videos, NYC Pride Parade Bans Police

Joey Gentile  Authentic Gay YouTube Videos
This past weekend I found a guy named Joey Gentile on Twitter. I thought he was interesting so I did a simple search and came up with a YouTube page. And he's done quite a few YouTube Videos. He does some of them with his partner and they are both very good. 
I think what I love most is that everything about him is gay, it's authentic, and it's a nice part of gay modern culture. This is not Ewan McGregor or some straight guy pretending to be gay so straig...

How Cherry Grove on Fire Island Became a Gay Safe Haven, Ryan Field Books

How Cherry Grove on Fire Island Became a Gay Safe Haven

I've known about Fire Island as a gay safe haven all my life. My openly gay brother has had several homes out there. I knew people in New Hope who also either had homes or they went out to Fire Island all summer long and rented places. Many just went on weekends. However, I've never actually known much about Fire Island personally. I either never had the time or the inclination to get there. You have to drive all the way out to Long Island, ...

My Author Amazon Page and FREE Gay Excerpt, Books By Ryan Field

 My Amazon Author Page and FREE Gay Excerpt

I'm often remiss about promoting my past work and yet I know I should be doing it. So this time I'm going for a broad range by posting this link to my Amazon author page.  I think everything I've ever had published is up there. The only thing I'm not sure about are the books I was in prior to 2005 when I was still submitting short stories to anthologies with all the gay presses. I actually have all the books packed away in boxes, but I never really did ...

Gay Porn Star Alex Riley Dead At Age 22, Update On Our New Move, Ryan Field Books

Gay Porn Star Alex Riley Dead At Age 22

Every so often we read about these tragic things happening to people in the adult entertainment industry, and it's always heartbreaking. I would imagine those who are close to him are just stunned. 

Adult performer Alex Riley has tragically died aged 22, leaving his loved ones and fans “heartbroken” over the loss of a “vibrant and talented” performer.

Here's the link. They give more back story but they don't mention the cause of death. It's just so sad to rea...

Ellen DeGeneres Cancel's Talk Show and Rosemarie Terenzio's Fairy Tale Interrupted about JFK Jr, Colton Underwood Came Out Because He Was Blackmailed, Ryan Field Books

Ellen DeGeneres Cancel's Talk Show and Rosemarie Terenzio's Fairy Tale Interrupted about JFK Jr.

I read the memoir, Fairy Tale Interrupted by Rosemarie Terenzio, when it was first released. I still have the digital book on my Kindle app. Terenzio was the personal assistant to John Kennedy Jr. and many years after he passed away she wrote a book about her time spent with him. It was a wonderful book, it was respectful and loyal to Kennedy, and I even left a good review for it. One of the things I ...
