Straight guys are so strange. The YouTube video below claims to be the Royal Marines. This group of guys spend a few minutes bumping and grinding in their skivvies to Eric Prydze’s “Call On Me”. I’m kind of at a loss for words. According to the post on Manhunt Daily, the guys rehearsed for hours. To that I can only say Oy Vey.
Picking up from where my last post left off.
Who will be nice enough to start a bath for this guy?
Boston’s favorite bad boys are hosting a charity auction to raise funds for The Theater Offensive tonight. Come to Club Cafe between 7-9PM to check out this very special Pride singles auction.
Tickets at the door cost $10 but knowing Cole & Hunter will have an open microphone guarantees you’ll get your money’s worth as these guys auction off ten handsome singles.

Ms. Rowland just sent Boston a message of support and love, wishing all of us a very happy Pride here this week. I wouldn’t want to disappoint Kelly so I plan on making the most of this week’s celebrations no matter what Mother Nature has in store for us. I’ve lived through rainy Pride weekends before and so will you so be sure to get out and enjoy the next few days.
Tomorrow night Boston Pride hosts their first ever “Pride Night @ Fenway Park”. My compliments to Boston’s Pride Committee for recognizing this as a great opportunity to be out in the community and enjoy one of Boston’s most cherished institutions – our Red Sox.
More information about this event can be found here.
In 2011 the Boston Red Sox were one of the first professional sports teams to make a video for the Trevor Project to help raise awareness about bullying.
Considering it is Pride Week here in Boston, I thought it is important to note that not all politicians in Washington, D.C. have “evolved”. Shame on Rubio. Floridians and Americans in general deserve representatives who will represent all of their constituents. One would think a Latino like Rubio would be more progressive and understand the fundamental unfairness of exclusionary politics.
I’ve loved Ross Matthews since he first appeared on Jay Leno as a “special correspondent”. However, today I’m more likely to see him on Chelsea Handler’s evening program on E TV, Chelsea Lately.
Regardless of where he is, he always makes me laugh so I was pretty excited to see his video wishing everyone in Boston a Happy Pride this year.
This photo of these two guys goofing off gave me a good laugh, and I hope it does the same for you. It just goes to show you that no matter how old guys get, most of us remain practical jokers who will continue to make penis jokes.
I couldn’t stop laughing watching Joanna Rohrback talk about Prancercise, which she describes as “a springy,rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse’s gait and is ideally induced by elation.” I can’t make this stuff up if I tried those are the exact words in the video description.
I’m only sorry to let this entrepreneur know that she’s a bit late to the game if she thinks she’s invented such a movement. Disagree? Come down to Boston’s Pride Parade this Saturday and you’ll see thousands of drag queens (some dressed just like this woman) “prancercising” their way along the parade route. Check out this video.
Boston Pride will be hosting a panel discussion on LGBT people in sports tomorrow, Wednesday, June 5th from 6:15 – 8:15 p.m. at The Boston Public Library Mezzanine Conference Room.
The issue of LGBTs in organized sports has been gaining momentum and much media attention lately. The recent announcement by NBA player Jason Collins that he is gay, pronouncements by major league sports that they will be more inclusive of the LGBT community, and the business community’s support for out and proud athletes by companies like Nike have make this issue ripe for discussion during Boston’s Pride Week.
This moderated discussion is free and open to the public but seating is limited. For more information about this program, contact the Boston Pride Human Rights & Education Committee at humanrights@bostonpride.org.
Pride week is underway here in Boston and Boston’s Pride Committee has been receiving well wishes from celebrities. Previously I posted messages from Vanessa Williams, Icona Pop and Sandra Bernhard. Here is funny lady, Margaret Cho wishing everyone a Happy Pride.
The South End rumor mill is grinding fast and furious these days. Earlier this year SoWa Boston confirmed GTI Properties purchased the Jesuit Urban Center and the Immaculate Conception Church on Harrison Avenue. Unconfirmed reports suggest that GTI Properties plans to convert these two 19th century structures into 80 apartments.
In addition to news about GTI Properties latest development, rumor has it that a Mexican restaurant will soon be opening in the space formerly occupied by Sibling Rivalry on Tremont Street in the South End.
At this point, this is only an unconfirmed rumor but it is one that I’ve now heard from two different restaurant owners in the South End. Questions remain who may be behind the new restaurant, but if it is true this extends a streak of Mexican restaurants opening in Boston that I thought had run its course. This would be the first second (sorry El Centro!) Mexican restaurant to open in the South End and be just two blocks from Masa, a southwest bar and grill. If the rumors prove true, the new restaurant could give both El Centro and Masa a run for their money.

Nearly everyone in the gay community I know has been shocked by the string of gay bashings in New York City. Last week Bay Windows reported Boston Police were alerting the LGBT community about an ongoing investigation of robberies involving male suspect(s) connecting with male individuals, either in person at area bars or online via hookup sites. These stories are unsettling but familiar for gay men my age. However, I will be the first to admit I thought those days – especially in cities like Boston and New York – were far behind us.
Following up on the crimes here in Boston, local reporter – Steve Annear, contacted me about a story he was writing for Boston Magazine to get my thoughts on gay men using hookup sites to meet men. I shared my two cents and then a bit more in his article which you may read here:
Police Warn LGBT Community After People Are Drugged, Robbed
However, his interview got me to thinking about this string of violence and it has made me very mad. The idea that people would target individuals who are trying to meet – regardless of why – is outrageous, and reminds me of the days when society would turn a blind eye to punks loitering near gay bars to beat up or rob guys leaving on their own.
While I would caution everyone to always use caution when meeting someone you don’t know, I refuse to apologize or think any less of someone for meeting via a hookup site. I happened to meet my partner on a dance floor, but I know many guys who have made either great friends or boyfriends through hookup sites, chat rooms (before them) and any number of other odd places that many of my heterosexual friends would probably find strange to say the least. The difference between now and then is at least society is no longer turning a blind eye so if you see something speak up. Silence has always been the enemy of the gay community.
