Sexy GuyWhat to do when you have no towels? I suppose its time to do laundry.

Gay ol’ Philadelphia

Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC) Last week The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Corp shared their second commercial targeting the LGBT community to celebrate their 10th anniversary of their award-winning campaign, “Philadelphia Get Your History Straight and Your Nightlife Gay”

The humorous video features the ever so popular, Miss Richfield 1981 taking selfie’s in places of interest in Philadelphia.  I’d love to see Boston create something like this to welcome LGBT travelers.

Tales of the City: 20th Anniversary edition

TalesOfTheCity_20thAnniversaryEdToday, 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.

Kristof Buntinx designs underwear protesting Russian LGBT laws

Kristof BuntinxRussian 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

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 TregaroEmma 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.
