Men in kilts
Much thanks to my buddy Gay Jim for pointing out BuzzFeed’s post, Shirtless Guys In Kilts. No disrespect intended to my friends Tony and Dirk who have many appealing photos of them in kilts but they didn’t make this list 😦
Can Boston sustain a new gay bar
Earlier this week I published my post, Boxers to open in Philadelphia. In that post I asked the owners to consider Boston should they continue to expand. Boston’s steady loss of LGBT centered businesses and in particular bars is not unique, but it just seems to be more problematic here where gay bar options are quickly dwindling to nil.
I would really like to see Boston have more gay bars. I don’t mean gay friendly bars; I don’t mean bars that are gay one or two nights a week; I mean a legitimate gay bar that is open 7-days a week and focused on serving Boston’s gay community; not bachelorette parties. More than 250,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender call Massachusetts is home. The overwhelming majority of those live in Boston and surrounding communities. One would think that there is a business opportunity here, right?
What are your thoughts?
Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland exhibit at MOCA closes this week
This past November I wrote about this exhibit at MOCA in Los Angeles and I’ve had a few of you write to me to let me know that you’ve enjoyed it. I was recently contacted by the organizers and asked if I would remind readers (especially those of you in the Los Angeles area or those of you traveling there) that the exhibit closes this Sunday.
The MOCA exhibition features a selection of Tom of Finland’s drawings and collages, alongside Mizerâs rarely seen photo-collage “catalogue boards” and films, as well as a comprehensive collection of his groundbreaking magazine Physique Pictorial, where drawings by Tom were first published in 1957.

Reluctant gay dude’s guide to modern gay vernacular
In honor of the premiere of HBO’s “LOOKING” Eliot Glazer shares the Reluctant Gay Dude’s Guide to Modern Gay Vernacular. This is hilarious although there is some strong language so you may want to think twice before watching this if you are at work.
Boxers to open in Philadelphia
Boxers, a gay sports bar with two locations in New York City, announced last week that they will open a third location in Philadelphia. The news comes on the heels of Fritz Boston – Boston’s only truly gay sports bar – closing.
My post this past October, Farewell to Fritz, caused a huge uproar resulting in several thousand shares on Facebook (a record for this blog). Time will tell what Fritz 2.0 (the new name will be The Trophy Room) will look like and if it will be a gay or gay friendly bar (by the way there is a HUGE difference in this blogger’s mind).
I would like to court the owners of Boxers NYC, Bob Fluet and Robert Hynds, to look East and consider a location here in Boston. We have an affluent, sports-minded gay community that I think would welcome them with open arms. I love gay sports bars and if Boxers decides Boston isn’t in the cards, I’d like to welcome Gym Sports Bar that has locations in NYC and LA. I want you here… Boston wants you here.
HBO new series Looking premieres tonight
HBO’s newest series, Looking, supposedly will share the unfiltered experiences of three close friends living in modern-day San Francisco. The trio’s stories intertwine and unspool dramatically as they search for happiness and intimacy.
Looking premieres tonight at 10:30 p.m. on HBO. Will you be looking watching?
Scruffy Sunday
Sleep in and enjoy your Sunday morning.
Have a great weekend
I’m heading out with my sister, Susan, and her friend, Olivia. We’ll go out and grab a few drinks and people watch. How will you be spending your Friday?
Oklahoma marriage law is unconstitutional
Another red state has been told their marriage ban is unconstitutional. Yesterday, a federal judge said the ban is “an arbitrary, irrational exclusion of just one class of Oklahoma citizens from a governmental benefit.”
Judge Terence C. Kern of United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma said the state’s amendment, is based on “moral disapproval” and does not advance the state’s asserted interests in promoting heterosexual marriage or the welfare
of children.
First Utah, now Oklahoma? These are some of the most conservative states in the US. Those opposing marriage equality must be foaming at the mouth and I’m kind of loving it. You can read the NYT article here.
US Government will recognize Utah’s same sex marriages
On Wednesday this week Utah Gov. Gary Herbert’s office announced the state will not recognize same-sex marriages performed in Utah since last month. In possibly the best F.U. I’ve seen in recent memory, today the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States federal government WILL recognize those marriages.
“I am confirming today that, for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same-sex marriages,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
Think elections don’t matter? I doubt a President Romney administration would have supported those LGBT couples.
Check Governor Herbert – now it is your turn and historians are recording your every move.
Furry Friday
This Furry Friday was sent to me by a reader a few weeks ago but I was intent on posting ‘holiday’ themed Furry Fridays. What do you think of this week’s man-candy post?
Todrick Hall’s Mean Boyz
Picking up from where my previous post left off is Todrick Hall’s latest video. Much thanks to JustDre for bringing this to my attention.
NOTE: This is most definitely not safe for work.
