Men of Twitter

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome. If you’d like to follow me on twitter, you can find me @BosGuy. Below are this week’s #MenOfTwitter.

If so inclined, leave them a nice comment and start following on Twitter.

landrethneel (formerly BostonMuscle) This handsome guy had to change his profile on Twitter this week so if you like, switch to his new account.

Landy is a native Bostonian who moved to FTL to find his biological mother, and recently had success in locating her.  He says he has plans  to move back home to Boston but my advice would be to wait for winter to end first.  Such a handsome and friendly guy would be a welcome addition back to the Boston gay community.  Before any of that happens though Landy will run his first half-marathon in Miami later on January 29th so wish him well. #BostonHunk

BradleyTraynor – This native of Chicago now calls Minneapolis home and has lived there nearly 20 years.  Bradley is a lot more than just a handsome face (although that is tough to ignore). Don’t believe me? You can check him out online and on the radio waves.  He’s a contributor for Minnesota’s Lavendar Magazine and a regular radio host on myTalk 107.1 FM as well as co-host of Weekend Dirt on Saturday mornings. For those wondering… yes, he’s in a relationship. #HandsomeMidwesterner

TheNickAdams – Yes, Nick is jaw-droppingly gorgeous or as we say here in Boston “gaw-jus”.  Nick Adams is also incredibly talented. He’s currently starring in Priscilla Queen of the Desert on Broadway.  He’s quite active on Twitter and seems to have a warm and friendly personality.  To borrow a line from Gershwin “Who could ask for anything more?” I’m proud to say Nick has a connection to Boston. He resided here while attending The Boston Conservatory of Music to earn his BFA in Musical Theater with a minor in Dance. Wish I had known – I would have attended a few of the school’s performances <sigh>. #TalentedGuy

khemingway – Keeping with the arts theme of this week’s men, I wanted to feature Kyle who lives in Boston and works as the creative services manager for Handel and Haydn Society, a respected orchestra and chorus with the distinction of being the nation’s oldest continuously running performing arts organization. Kyle is also a co-host of Opus Affair, a group of young professionals interested in supporting the fine and performing arts in Boston.  For those living in Boston, the group’s next social is Jan 17th – find out more about Opus Affair on facebook.  #CultchaVultcha

BrodieWest – Brodie lives in Sydney Australia and works for DNA Magazine as their marketing and advertising manager.  Don’t be deceived – behind that million dollar smile is a brain and a person who has something to say.  Brodie’s good body is due to his focus on fitness, which probably started when he played for the Tassie Tigers in Australia’s National Hockey League.  Should you be in Sydney for Mardi Gras, look for this party boy with a heart. #AwesomeAussie

Lukey99 – Luke is originally from Wales but now calls London home.  It is a pity Twitter doesn’t allow you to listen to his Welsh accent when reading his Tweets.  Luke joins a long line of men from the UK who I’ve featured and I think he’ll do them all quite proud.  Aside from his piercing blue eyes and good physique, he has a rather creative bent.  He currently works as a project manager for a very cool design agency in London.  Luke is very friendly and easy to chat with on Twitter so do yourself a favor and check him out. #BlueEyedBloke

LGBT bookstores

Queerty’s article, The Last Chapter: A Look At LGBT Bookstores Around the World, got me to thinking about this small and quirky group  that have defied the odds by remaining open, and I’d like to wish all these owners success in 2012 and beyond. I love LGBT bookstores and consider Boston lucky to still have at least one in operation.

Not too long ago most large cities had a collection of LGBT bookstores that catered to the community, but over the years, most of these have closed.  Truth be told, I’m not much of a shopper, but I’ve always enjoyed nosing around a neighborhood bookstore and have visited a few of the places featured in the article.  Check out Queerty’s list and consider stopping by one of these shops.

If you live in Boston or plan to visit, certainly check out Calamus Bookstore in the Leather District near South Station and Chinatown.  If you’re unfamiliar with Boston, the Leather District may be a bit misleading. The neighborhood derives its name from the city’s leather tanneries located here in the 19th & 20th centuries. However, by sheer coincidence, you can buy all sorts of leather apparel at the Marquis de Sade which is just above Calamus bookstore.

More LGBT bookstores listed by city

Atlanta – Outwrite

Boston – Calamus Books

London – Gay’s the word

Paris – Les Mots a la Bouche

Philadelphia – Giovanni’s Room

Vancouver – Little Sisters

Washington DC – Kramerbooks

Share in the comments section of this post the names of any LGBT bookstores not mentioned – include the bookstore’s name, web address and city.  If I get a fair number of stores, I’ll compile a list and republish in the near future.

Catholic Church says have COURAGE; BosGuy says F.U.

The Catholic Church is at it once again going out of its way to tick me off.  This time my ire can be traced to a diocese here in New England.

Yesterday, the Archdiocese of Hartford announced it would start ministering to people with same-sex attraction through a program called COURAGE, which currently has more than 100 chapters in the US.

People who are struggling with reconciling their faith and sexual identity can expect more of the same harmful teachings the Catholic Church loves to embrace:  Love the sinner; Hate the sin.

Strange that the Church loves to only quote the most virulent lines about homosexuality from the Book of Leviticus in the Old Testament, even though the book essentially damns everyone in modern civilization to Hell.  How convenient to leave out that being gay is equally evil as eating pork or masturbating.  I think the thing I find most frustrating about this group called COURAGE is that what it is asking of these people seems less courageous and more cowardly.  #Shameful

Friday cannot come fast enough

Technically it has been a short work week for me since my office was closed on Monday, January 2nd, but I can’t wait to sleep in and not think about work for two consecutive days.  If this were a tweet, I’d end it with #Living4TheWkd.

Gay For Good Boston chapter

With the holidays now behind us and 2012 full of potential, I wanted to tell you about a local chapter of a national organization called Gay for Good (G4G). Originally started in L.A. in 2008, there are now chapters in Boston, Chicago, Orange County, Pittsburgh, San Diego and San Francisco.

G4G organizes monthly volunteering opportunities that allows men and women the chance to give back to their local community and meet people.  To find out more about these opportunities you only need to register on their website gayforgood.org or you can check them out on facebook, Gay For Good Boston.

With many of us making resolutions to get more involved, give back and or meet more people I wanted to let you know about this great group.  Some of the volunteering opportunities the Boston chapter arranged in 2011 included: Rosie’s Place, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless and Community Servings, Franklin Park Zoo, Greater Boston Food Bank, Cradles to Crayons and Toys for Joys.  Below are photos from 2011 activities, which typically occur on weekends. After volunteering many often go out, adding a nice social aspect to the organization that allows you to further meet the members of this group.

Bertomio – I’ll admit it was for purely superficial reasons that have everything to do with Rob’s (BTW that’s his name) appealing profile picture that I started following.  This hunk who hails from The City of Brotherly Love has called Gotham home for the past 5 years. Two of his many passions include music and his black pug, Riley. And although he didn’t say so, he has a great sense of humor.  Check out his profile which no doubt was inspired from a line from  a Julia Roberts film (can you name it?) “I’m just a boy, standing in front of the twitterverse, asking it to love me.” #GAWJUS

DrMwba – Marcelo lives in New Jersey with his partner of 5.5 years.  He joins a list of past Men of Twitter who hail from Brazil, further perpetuating the stereotype that men from this South American country are easy on the eyes.  Originally from Rio de Janeiro,  Marcelo first came to the US to get his PhD in Public Health after finishing Dental school and residency. So he’s smart as well as good looking.  Lucky for us he never returned home and now you are likely to find Marcelo with his partner at their beach house in Rehoboth Beach, DE on weekends so if you visit the area be on the look out for this handsome Carioca and be sure to say “Oi“. #DELICIA

Room Service video

Although there is no nudity, this is most definitely NSFW (not safe for work). However, I do think its funny and thought I’d share the video which is chalk full of gorgeous men.

The UK video is entitled, Room Service: The Sex Tape Part 2, and it includes London DJ, Jodie Harsh. Still not sure if its his mix that is playing through out the video, but I do love the music accompanying the over-the-top clip.  Thanks to Ministry of Pleasure blog for bringing this to my attention.

Year End: Gratuitous ManCandy post

To paraphrase a popular post on my friend’s blog, WGB, I’m posting these photos “just because”…

If you’re in this part of the world, I hope 2011 comes to a relaxing and happy conclusion.  If you happen to live on the other side of the date line, I hope the new year starts with smiles and laughter.

Shake your groove thang

No matter how you choose to celebrate New Year’s Eve; a quiet evening at home or out with friends dancing til the wee hours of the morning as shown above from the gay club, Ritz, in Hell’s Kitchen. I hope you have a wonderful evening.

WickedGayBlog – The author of this blog, David Goulart, is one of the first local bloggers I started following. I’m a huge fan of him and his blog, WickedGayBlog.

OscarRaymundo – Oscar is a freelance writer who lives in SF. I think he’s both sexy and smart. I’ve been following him ever since I featured him in September.

Ogracia – Oscar lives in Barcelona Spain and might be one of the sweetest guys I’ve had the chance to meet on Twitter.
