You know the guy who was asked to put the letters up on this sign was laughing the entire time.
Much thanks to Tales of the Sissy for sharing.

Last month The National Organization for Marriage (NOM), The Family Research Council and One Million Moms (a trinity of hate and hate mongering groups in my opinion) sent a letter to hundreds of businesses in Minnesota requesting they keep out of the debate over a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage that will appear on state ballots in November.
The fact that these organizations have changed tactics and now are asking the business community to essentially remain “neutral” by not endorsing Same Sex Marriage speaks volumes and should be a signal of hope that whatever roadblocks remain for the LGBT community, the tide has changed and public opinion (as well as corporate America) no longer want to be associated with these groups.
Lila Shapiro from the Huffington Post has an excellent post regarding this change of tactics and what it means. If you are interested, you can read the full article here.
Last week at this time the gay community in Boston was ready to enjoy the final weekend of Pride 2012. After a week of rain and cool temperatures, weather was beautiful all weekend long. Here is a video of some of the events and parties we attended last weekend.
Massachusetts native, Cazwell, is back with another outrageous music video full of innuendo and barely clothed men writhing suggestively. Its proven to be a potent combination for this gay singer who first caught my attention in the summer of 2010 with a very similar gay club hit, Meet Me at the Ice Cream Truck.
This video is probably not appropriate to play if at work.
Each year The ILGA produces maps on Gay and Lesbian rights in the world as well as its State Sponsored Homophobia report.
Share this with friends, most of their materials are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. This year the world map as shown above has been also produced in Chinese, German, Hindi and Turkish.
The organization also provides maps that focus on specific regions of the world including Asia, Africa, Latin America and The Caribbean. You can learn more about this organization and download a copy of the map and report by visiting their website www.ilga.org.
ILGA – Video to end homophobia
Normally, my Suddenly it makes sense posts are very tongue in cheek but this German football (soccer) commercial which is making the rounds on facebook was developed to raise awareness and fight homophobia in the sport. The advertisement not only gets my attention (and kudos) but definitely makes me think I should probably watch a bit more of this sport.
Hanging w/ WGB blogger, David, at Boston Pride
Shown above is Marc, David, and yours truly. David over at Wicked Gay Blog (shown in the middle) has recently returned after a brief hiatus from the blogging world. I have the utmost respect for David and consider this fellow Bostonian a friend so I wanted to give him a shout out. If you are not familiar with this Boston blogger, check out his slightly naughty, definitely flirtatious blog at www.WickedGayBlog.com
Beautiful weather all weekend brought people out for Pride weekend in Boston. As usual the Boston Pride parade was mostly forgettable, but the weekend proved to be a lot of fun.
Festivities started on Friday evening at the Boston Chapter of GLAAD cocktail reception. On Saturday, after the parade I went to the “unofficial” block party on Chandler Street dancing and chatting with friends while enjoying the beautiful weather. The only frustration was the long lines to get drinks. Hopefully they’ll figure out how to fix that for 2013 Pride (hint hint).
Sunday’s block party in the Back Bay turned out to be the big surprise. DJ Tracy Young kept the crowd of thousands in a frenzy for hours and capped off one of the best Pride Weekends in recent memory. I’m pulling together a video but wanted to share a few fun pics from the weekend.

Hanging with the handsome and flirtatious Matt Kurkowski at Boston Pride’s 2012 Sunday block party. This former Men of Twitter (from May 2011) is a great guy. If you are on Twitter check out and follow Matt at @MKurkowski.
Feeling tempted? I think this guy is both handsome and obviously in great shape. What do you think of this week’s Temptation Tuesday post?

The Boston chapter of Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) hosted a cocktail party at the new Revere Hotel’s swanky Emerald Lounge on Friday, June 8th. The sold out event was a great way to start the weekend.
The event was mostly attended by gregarious 20 and 30 something gay men who were looking forward to mingle and enjoy the Ketel One Vodka drinks being liberally poured by a hard working and attentive Emerald Lounge Staff. I created a quick 2 minute video compilation of photos from the cocktail reception.
