Anti-Gay Homeowner Refuses to Help Gay Family Flee from Fire, Ryan Field Books

 Anti-Gay Homeowner Refuses to Help Gay Family Flee from Fire

Apparently, a British gay couple with a child went on vacation in Greece, found themselves in the middle of a deadly ferocious fire, and were denied shelter from a homophobic neighbor. 

The couple claim they were forced to flee from their hotel in Pefkos and wound up staying at a homeless shelter. Then thankfully a local family took the couple into their home until they could return to the UK.

In seeking shelter, this is what they were t...

I don't think any marginalized group has faced more shame and been more ignored than we have as gay men. And even now, with all the changes we been through the shame is still there and millions of gay men still can't come out of the closet. 

Well, at least there are people like Tyler Childers making gay content in an industry that rarely does have gay content. And he made it with openly gay actors. 

Here's what motivated him. 

“He said he would like to ha...

28 Year Old Gay Man Killed at New York Gas Station, Ryan Field Books

 28 Year Old Gay Man Killed at New York Gas Station

It's always rough to read articles like this one. 

A 28 year old gay man, O'Shae Sibley, was allegedly dancing at a NY gas station and he would up getting stabbed. 

There was an altercation where a group of men asked Sibley and his friends to stop dancing, with homophobic slurs. One of Sibley's friends, Otis Pena, said this...

“They murdered him because he’s gay, because he stood up for his friends,” Pena said in the video. “His name was O’Shae and...

 FREE Gay Romance Book Excerpt: Altered Parts Book Two

I'm going to start posting more of these free gay romance excerpts in the future. Readers have been asking me and I've hesitated because there's so much going on in gay news lately. I like to post truncated versions of recent gay news, with links. Most of the time I'm learning something new, too.

In any event, here is an excerpt from my latest book, Altered Parts Book Two. After I published the first book in this series, I decided it needed a ...

 More on Tyler Childers' New Gay Love Story Video

From now on, whenever I refer to someone "coming out" I will just write that they "came out." I'm not writing they "came out as gay" anymore. If you read about it here, you can just assume they came out as gay. I have nothing against anyone on the LGBTQ Plus spectrum, but my focus is and always has been on gay stories and gay culture. I know how to stay in my own lane, so to speak. And when I think of it, I don't think I have ever posted or linked...

Iranian Official Promoting Islamic Values Caught with a Man, Ryan Field Books

Iranian Official Promoting Islamic Values Caught with a Man

I think we all know that like most religions in the world, Islam has never been exactly supportive of gay men. In fact, they criminalize us and make us live in fear. 

So that's why this article is so interesting. Once again, we find a story where a man promotes certain values that aren't gay...or supportive of gay men...and then a video surfaces where he's allegedly having sex with another man.

This has always bothered me about some of our...

Tyler Childers' New Video with Colton Haynes and James Scully as Lovers, Ryan Field Books

 Tyler Childers' New Video with Colton Haynes and James Scully as Lovers

First, it's nice to see Colton Haynes doing something after not seeing him work for a while. I think actors like Haynes, who can pretty much play any part, are overlooked simply because they are openly gay. Of course I could be wrong about that. But if I am wrong, why are there so many straight actors playing gayface? 

In any event, Country music artist, Tyler Childers, just released a music video and it will feature Colton H...

33 Gay Men Arrested at Sauna in Venezuela, Ryan Field Books

 33 Gay Men Arrested at Sauna in Venezuela

Like most other gay venues of this nature, gay men go there because that's where they can meet other gay men. In places where gay men are criminalized that is the only place where they can meet other gay men. Saunas and bathhouses have always been a large part of gay culture for this reason. Now that a younger generation of gay men have emerged here in the US we don't see things like saunas and bathhouses that much anymore. 

Younger gay men hook up online...

Japanese Pop Star Comes Out As Gay, Ryan Field Books

 Japanese Pop Star Comes Out As Gay

Here's the story of a Japanese pop star who came out as gay so he could help other gay men in the closet avoid the struggles he's faced. 

Shinjiro Atae is a well known pop star in Japan who is loved and respected. Many are praising him for what he's done. 

And the way he came out was from the heart. 

“I respect you and believe you deserve to hear this directly from me,” he said, reading from a letter he had prepared. “For years, I struggled to accept a part of mys...

Kevin Spacey Found Not Guilty in Sex Assault Trial, Ryan Field Books

Kevin Spacey Found Not Guilty in Sex Assault Trial

Kevin Spacey was acquitted of all charges thanks to a witness that was part of his own defense. 

As the verdict was read, Spacey began to cry. Spacey had gone for six years without work during the infamous #metoomovement when guilty before proven innocent seemed to rule the waves. It was a very interesting time in history, when anyone could be accused of anything and tried on social media. Lives were ruined thanks to those with the loudest mouths ...
