Map depicts STD rates by city in US

Posted on July 29, 2015 | Leave a comment

sexually transmitted diseases, CDCMany cities in the south east and the rust belt regions of the US seem to have a higher rate of STD infections according to data compiled by the CDC. Their report also found that there is a “troubling rise in syphilis infections among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM)”.

I thought I would share this news for two reasons: first, I’m a firm believer that if you are not having safe sex then you should get tested;  second I worry that with so many gay men now on Truvada there is more risky sexual behavior and while Truvada may reduce the risk of HIV infections it won’t protect against STDs.

Do I sound gay now playing at the Kendall Square cinema: David Thorpe in Boston for tonight’s shows

Posted on July 24, 2015 | Leave a comment

David ThorpeEarlier this spring I wrote the post, Gay themed summer movies, which talked about the documentary Do I sound gay? Today David Thorpe’s documentary opened in 14 new cities including Boston, Chicago, Portand, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle & Washington, DC; previously you could only see this film in Atlanta, Los Angeles, NYC and Philadelphia.

Meet writer/director David Thorpe in person today & tomorrow, July 24 & 25 for Q&As after the 7:05pm shows and to introduce the 9:45pm shows! Tickets here.

The documentary confronts Thorpe’s anxiety over sounding “gay” by talking to LGBT icons like Dan Savage and George Takei, and exploring the cultural history of the gay voice in film and television. You can get your tickets to see Do I sound gay? by linking to the Kendall Square cinema website, here.

Why I’ve stopped reading Gawker

Posted on July 22, 2015 | 1 comment

Conde NastI have no issue with outing public figures who speak out against gay rights or vote for legislation that is harmful to the gay community; read Buh bye Aaron Schock.

But I do take issue with bloggers and websites that indiscriminately “out” people for a news story like Gawker’s recent decision to use an angry sex worker who was extorting an executive at Condé Nast.  If you are unaware of what I am referring to, Huffington Post has an article about the incident worth reading, Gawker’s Outing of Condé Nast’s CFO is Gay- Shaming, Not Journalism.  

Reading Gabriel Arana’s article made me angry.  In my opinion, Gawker’s decision to publish this story makes them an accessory to extortion.

Deadspin article: Athletes you should bone instead of Cristiano Ronaldo

Posted on July 15, 2015 | 4 comments

soccer, football, sports, athleteEarlier this month Deadspin posted this article, Athletes you should bone instead of Cristiano Ronaldo, and my brother emailed it to me saying it seemed more appropriate for my blog than Deadspin; I’m inclined to agree so I thought I’d give it the attention it deserves.

It seems like everyone who left a comment (worth perusing by the way) had an opinion or two to share about overlooked athletes so I’d suggest a few as well.  Let me know who you’d add to this list of athletes.

Jim Garoppolo is so handsome I might actually watch a Patriots game if Brady’s suspension isn’t overturned and he starts for New England.football, NFL, jock, hunk, handsome

How could a gay blog overlook Ben Cohen?  I’m deeply suspicious that the Deadspin author has no idea what he’s talking about since he overlooked Ben.Ben Cohen

I also have a bit of a crush on an Olympic athlete. The 27 year old Aussie bobsledder, Simon Dunn, currently lives and trains in Calgary, Canada.bobsledder, olympian, Australian

So who else would you add to this list?

Boy Scouts are poised to end gay ban

Posted on July 14, 2015 | 3 comments

Boy ScoutsLast week the executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America unanimously approved a resolution that would end the organization’s blanket ban on gay adult leaders and let individual Scout units set their own policy. However, units sponsored by churches opposed to the change could maintain the ban if they choose. The policy change will become official policy immediately if ratified by the organization’s 80-member National Executive Board at a meeting on July 27.

What it took to create the world’s first gay art museum

Posted on July 13, 2015 | 1 comment
LGBT art

Robert Mapplethorpe Untitled (Dominick and Elliot)1979 B&W photographic print

Smithsonian Magazine has an interesting article, “What it Took to Create the World’s First Gay Art Museum” that I would encourage anyone who finds this sort of thing interesting to read.  For the rest of you, take note of this museum when you next visit NYC if you’ve never been before.

Nestled in SoHo is the world’s first gay art museum, The Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.  In the past I’ve written about their exhibits, but this time I’m writing about news that the museum will soon double in size. The expansion of more than 3,000 square feet will allow the museum to host multiple exhibits at the same time.

Be proud of the contributions made by the LGBT community and in particular of their art which pushes the boundaries of sexuality.  You can visit The Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in SoHo at 26 Wooster Street, NYC.
