Who said it: Donald Trump or not Donald Trump?

Posted on December 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

Hillary ClintonDonald Trump’s recent comment about banning all Muslims from entering the US has a lot of Republicans distancing themselves, but the fact is the Republican Party of 2015 is far more conservative than it has ever been and while many may revile Mr. Trump, his running mates are in many ways just as extreme. The Hillary Clinton campaign has created a rather interesting online game I’d suggest you try called Who said it: Donald Trump or not Donald Trump?

Shirtless superheroes illustrated by Fab

Posted on December 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

Fab, gay superhero Hyper masculine representations of Superheroes fuel the imaginations of many gay men. If you have any doubt, check out my 2014 Provincetown video of Carnival when the theme was Comic Book Superheroes.  An illustrator who goes by the name Fab has re-imagined what superheroes might look like without their shirts in poses more appropriate for a photo shoot.

Like what you see? Follow Fab on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. Be advised that Fab’s Tumblr account seems to be where he posts his uncensored NSFW illustrations. Much thanks to Oscar and his blog confessionsofaboytoy.com for initially sharing Fab’s engaging illustrations.  fab, gay superhero

Later this week the MFA Boston launches simultaneous exhibits that will appeal to all the fashionistas in town. American illustrator, Kenneth Paul Block, and Japanese photographer, Hiro, who both hit their peak in the 1950s and helped to shape the look of such influential journals as Women’s Wear Daily and Harper’s Bazaar.

Although the MFA exhibit focuses primarily on their fashion work, even the most style-unconscious will appreciate how these two artists shaped the aesthetic of the past century.

December 12–August 14, 2016, Museum of Fine Arts, 617-267-9300, mfa.org.

Brokeback Mountain opened in theaters 10 years ago today

Posted on December 9, 2015 | 2 comments

Gay movie, Ang Lee, Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath LedgerTen years ago today Ang Lee’s movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Randy Quaid, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway was released.

While I’m not a huge fan of Cowboy movies, the heartbreaking romance did draw me in.  To put this in perspective, when Brokeback Mountain was released back in 2005, Gallup found that only 36% of Americans were in favor of marriage equality and same sex marriage was only legal in Massachusetts. I think movies like Brokeback Mountain challenged perceptions about what it means to be gay and as the image above says, “love is a force of nature” that brings us together.

#GOPdildo

Posted on December 8, 2015 | 2 comments

GOPdildo, gun control, NRAIt may be juvenile and it may be crass but I love this new Tumblr site that is taking images of politicians proudly posing with guns and superimposing images of dildos in their hands. I’ve made my feelings perfectly clear in the past that I’m a staunch advocate for more sensible gun laws and regulations.  Until that time comes I’ll use these images to find some vestige of humor in what I think is an otherwise very serious and shameful situation in the United States.
