Looking: The Movie (2016)
Last month I wrote about HBO’s finale to the short lived gay drama, Looking. Tomorrow, Saturday, July 23rd the movie will premiere and for those of you who were a fan of the series (like yours truly), I wanted to remind you to set your DVRs to record. I’m curious to see how HBO ties up the loose ends and what happens with the characters.
What we know based on what HBO has shared to date in their movie trailer is that Patrick returns to San Francisco to attend a friend’s wedding after having moved away. When he sees his former boyfriends old feelings emerge and the closure he thought he had now doesn’t seem so clear. For those unfamiliar with the series that lasted for two seasons, below is one of the teasers HBO shared to promote the first season (BTW both seasons are on demand if you have HBO).
NC anti-gay law cited for NBA moving 2017 All-Star game
“While we recognize that the NBA cannot choose the law in every city, state, and country in which we do business, we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by HB2″ -National Basketball League
Yesterday, in an unprecedented move, the NBA announced they will move the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, N.C. to another state because of that state’s controversial anti-LGBT law. The All-Star Game was expected to generate $100 million of revenue for the state, according to Athlete Ally. Seth Brown’s blog puts this loss in perspective in the excerpt I’ve included below.
For a little perspective, the largest event in Charlotte history (in regards to direct economic impact) was the 2012 Democratic National Convention which brought in $164 million. Not only will Charlotte not have the opportunity now for this economic boost, but they will also be stuck with the $33.5 million renovation fees for Time Warner Cable Arena over the next 10 years. A number of those renovations were scheduled to be done in time for the All-Star Game. So, at this point Charlotte is left with a hefty bill, while not seeing the expected return from their investment.
Prior to the NBA’s announcement the state had lost $329 million in business, according to Equality NC and there is no reason to believe these losses will stop.
This week Matt over at boyculture posted this photo of my friend who I’d been badgering about being a Furry Friday. After Matt’s surprise post Jesse conceded. This is Jesse cuddling with Otis. If you want you can follow Jesse and Otis on Instagram here.
Set your DVRs and enjoy the show. I guarantee this will be far more interesting than anything you will see on those 24-hour news networks tonight.
Earlier this week Stephen Colbert opened his show with this Broadway-inspired number, “The Republican National Convention is Like Christmas in July.”
It injects a lot of humor in a little more than 3 minutes and sums up how I feel so I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it.

I want to dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Tonight the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company opens their nearly 3 week run of free Shakespeare on the Boston Common. This year’s production, Love’s Labour’s Lost, is a comedy that draws on themes of masculine love and desire, reckoning and rationalization, and reality versus fantasy.
Love’s Labour’s Lost
Directed by Steven Maler
July 20 – August 7, 2016
FREE and open to the public
Plan on coming down to the Boston Common one night with friends or maybe a special friend to enjoy the production directed by Steven Maler and the excellent cast. You can even order pizza to be delivered to you on the Common, making for a fun and affordable night of dinner and theater in the city.
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is actually a commonly used phrase that I’ve waited to use this week, during the Republican Nat’l Convention.
Bye Felicia
Type of speech: exclamation
Definition: When someone says something and you don’t want to hear another word come out of their mouth their name becomes “Felicia”, a random bitch that nobody likes or takes seriously. It is general practice to tell Felicia to go away
Example: Whenever the news shows me a photo of this angry orange man I can’t help myself but say “bye Felicia”.
