Sochi U.S. Olympic Petition
I love this idea and would like to encourage readers not only to sign this petition but to also share it with others. Thanks to David over at WGB for sharing this.
How many homophobes does it take to change a lightbulb
Thought of the day:
Tales of the City: 20th Anniversary edition
Today, Acorn releases Tales of the City: 20th Anniversary Edition. I can distinctly remember watching this series in secret while in my parent’s home. It was one of those very rare moments – as a kid growing up in a somewhat rural setting – when I realized there were other guys out there who liked guys.
Growing up, I was led to believe my attraction to men was either a phase that some experience or a mental disorder that if pursued would lead to a dismal life in the shadows and likely to end, dying of AIDS. Boy, we’ve come a long way.
dBar tea dance
This past Sunday dBar in Dorchester hosted the third annual summer sports Tea Dance and by the looks of it, the event was a smashing success. The patio was packed like sardines and inside the dance floor was crowded all evening long thanks to the great music played by disc jockey, Gay Jim from KISS 108 FM.
Below are some photos from all the fun – courtesy of Sergio.
Scruffy Sunday
Good morning from BosGuy. Hope you have a pleasant Sunday.
Kristof Buntinx designs underwear protesting Russian LGBT laws
Russian designer, Kristoff Buntinx, is launching a new line of boxer underwear to protest Russia’s homophobic laws that essentially make being gay illegal. His designs blend the LGBT rainbow with Russian symbols as a way to poke fun at the laws and allow Russians a private way to protest laws without risking jail sentences.
Called “From Russia With Love”, Buntix is now working with photographer Herman Van Gestel to create a gay themed calendar of men in the boxers that they hope to release in late September.
Want to read more? Check out Kristoff Buntix website, www.kristofbuntix.com you can also check out the making of the calendar in this report from TV Brussel – note this isn’t in English, but somehow I think most of you will not mind.
Oh captain my captain
I trust most of you don’t mind that I continue with “ManCandy” posts, while I enjoy my last couple of days in Provincetown. Have a wonderful Saturday.
Bonus fur
I’m still down in Provincetown enjoying the sun and having fun so I’m going to have some really short posts to coast through the weekend until I can get back home. I trust you won’t be too disappointed. Have a great day and enjoy this bonus post.
Wentworth Miller comes out
“Prison Break” star Wentworth Miller — long rumored to be gay — officially came out of the closet today, in a letter to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival declining an invitation to appear there, citing Russia’s recent rash of laws essentially criminalizing homosexuality. Good for you Wentworth.
Dick of the week: International Amateur Athletic Federation
Emma Green Tregaro, the Swedish athlete who painted her fingernails the colors of the rainbow to show support for gay rights last week was forced to re-paint her nails, after track and field’s governing body warned that her nails flouted its ban on political statements at events.
As the world championships concluded on Sunday, Russia’s minister of sport, Vitaly Mutko, said the freedoms of those who come to Sochi “will be absolutely protected.” But he also said, “We want to protect our children whose psyches have not formed from the propaganda of drug use, drunkenness and non-traditional sexual relations.”
My response to both the International Amateur Athletic Federation and Russia’s minister of sport is exactly the same. Perhaps you can figure out my “Wheel of Fortune” inspired response.
F_CK YO_!

Scruffy Sunday
My first thought when I saw this photograph was, nice manicure. There must be something wrong with me.
Saturday night scrubbing
Be sure to scrub all your bits before heading out tonight so you’ll be nice and clean. There will be plenty of time for you to get dirty later.
