ABSolutely amazing
I try not to make every other post be a photograph of some hunky guy because I know there are a lot of other blogs that do that sort of thing way better than me. However, I couldn’t resist posting this photo when I saw it on Kevinism’s blog.
Manhunt birthday party for Jonathan Crutchley
The dating and online gay community better known as Manhunt is based here in Boston and this past weekend one of the co-founders, Jonathan Crutchley, celebrated his birthday with a party at the Manhunt Mansion.
A friendly crowd spent a sunny, warm Sunday celebrating, while KISS 108 personality and DJ, Gay Jim, played music and the staff of dBar & Boston Chops poured drinks and manned the grill.

Thank you to everyone who was nice enough to pose and apologies to anyone who’s pictures we were not able to include.
How to look good in a speedo
Later today I’ll be heading to another pool party so I thought I’d share this video that has been making the rounds on the web. The clip gives 5 tips on how to look good in a speedo. I’m not a speedo kind of guy, but I fully expect to see many of these at the pool party later today and I’m okay with that.
All male review comes to Crown and Anchor
Heading to Provincetown for the week? Seems like a show worth checking out if you are there. You know how much I like to champion the arts.
Daddy Days in Provincetown
Just as Family Week in Ptown comes to a close, the gay dating site, DaddyHunt.com, presents the first annual Daddy Days in Provincetown.
Despite the name this new theme week seems to have quite a different vibe and will attract a different kind of Daddy.
Daddy Days in Provincetown from August 10th – 17th
Daddy Days organizers will use the Crew’s Quarters on Commercial Street as it’s base, but there are events scheduled through out the week including:
- Sunday sing along at the Gifford House Piano Bar
- Wednesday dinner & drinks at the Crew’s Quarters
- Friday’s so long to Daddy Days after T-Dance at the Pied
More details about the week can be found here.

Thanks to N.G. for sharing.
Russia’s shameful present: LGBT persecution continues
Did you know that Russia’s new laws could send you to jail if you are “pro-gay”. Although nobody is really certain what that means, the growing number of hate-infused bills becoming law just as Russia is preparing to host the world in the next Winter Olympics is troublesome in the least.
CNN has an interesting opinion piece entitled Make Olympics in Russia the Gayest Ever. The editorial offers suggestions on how to support greater acceptance if not equality for the LGBT community at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. In case you think this is all an overreaction – check out some of the recent legislation passed by Putin.
Did you know there is a law that allows police to arrest “pro-gay” tourists? There is another law that labels any writing or statement calling for tolerance or equality (like this blog post) as pornography and is punishable by fine and jail time. Putin also banned adoptions of Russian children to any country where LGBT marriage is legal. Rumors now suggest the Russian government may start to remove children from same-sex couples.
What do you make of the vigilante laws in Russia that encourage violence against the LGBT community? I can’t even wrap my head around this.
Rafael Nadal Promotes M4M
Here is a picture I never would have thought I’d see posted to Rafael Nadal’s Facebook page. Apparently this is for a baby who needs bone marrow replacement. If you’d like to learn more or help that family you may link here (note the site is in Spanish). Thanks to my brother for the humorous heads up.
I bet Kenneth from Kenneth in the 212 blog is all over this.
The end of the gay bar
While I love Boston, you’d have to be from a very small town to be impressed by the gay nightlife. Something I’ve heard from older gay men is that in the 1970s & 80s Boston had a great gay nightlife so what led to the decline that started in the 1990s and seemed to fast forward in the first decade of the new century?
Will gay bars become as scarce as LGBT bookstores?
Some attribute the decline to the public’s acceptance of homosexuality. Others point to online sites where guys can connect. However, I tend to believe it is society’s general acceptance. There are many gay Bostonians who lament the closing of gay clubs and bars, but the phenomenon is hardly unique to Boston. Out Magazine’s recent post The End of the Gay Bar is more about how clubs in Philadelphia’s suburbs are closing but the story is the same throughout the US. The quick read is interesting and I’d be curious to get your thoughts.
Sinner’s Ball Weekend in Ogunquit, ME
This weekend is the 2nd annual Sinner’s Ball in Ogunquit, Maine. The party starts Friday with “SERVICE” the uniform ball.
Saturday is the second annual “SINNER’S BALL” that is hosted by my friends, the notorious Maverick Men.
The 3-day party concludes on Sunday with “Repentance” Power Tea. Have fun guys. I’ll be heading up to Ogunquit the following weekend and can hardly wait.

Dan Savage says #DumpStoli
Last Wednesday Dan Savage’s post Why I’m Boycotting Russian Vodka made news with a number of prominent gay bloggers, but was barely reported elsewhere. Since then many of Russia’s leading LGBT activists have stepped forward encouraging the boycott. However, critics claim the boycott has had little traction and prominent gay bars like the soon-to-close Splash in NYC just hosted a Stoli event yesterday. Does that mean that his call to boycott Russian vodka failed? I don’t think so.
It’d be great to see gay bars stop serving Russian vodka, but even if the boycott falls short, Savage should be credited for raising awareness and fostering dialog. As John Aravosis from Americablog says, “the point of a boycott isn’t always the boycott itself…Rather, the boycott is a tool – a foil, really – to foment and galvanize public ire in a way that generates publicity…”
If the boycott temporarily drives down sales of Russian Vodka that’s fine – but what Savage and others really want is to get people talking about what is happening in Russia and have those discussions create pressure on that government to stop targeting the LGBT community.
Would you like to join the boycott? Here is a list of Russian vodkas currently available in the US: Dovgan, Gold Symphony, Standart, Hrenovuha, Kauffman , Kubanskaya, Moskovskaya, Narodnaya, Pyatizvyozdnaya, Putinka, Rodnik, Ruskova, Russian Standard, Shustov, Starka, Stolnaya, Youri Dolgoruki. The two best known Russian vodkas: Russian Standard and Stolichnaya.
You may also Tweet your support if you are into that sort of thing by using the hashtags #DUMPSTOLI and #DUMPRUSSIANVODKA.
Date night
Dinner and a movie? A night out with friends? Lewd texts back and forth via Grindr? Date night can be many things, but one thing it isn’t is staying at home alone so get off your couch and go out.
Gay cooties
I know this is juvenile, but I love this.
