Do you have summer plans that include spending time in Ogunquit, Maine? Last month the Admiral’s Inn Resort shared their summer / fall 2014 line up. Personal favorites include Varla Jean Merman who will perform May 22 – 25 and Dame Edna who will be there August 28 – 31.

São Paulo is one of my favorite cities in the world to spend a few days. With a metropolitan area that includes approximately 21 million people, it also makes it one of the world’s biggest cities and their pride celebrations reflect that with an estimated 2 – 3 million Paulistas and visitors from all over Brazil, South America and the world coming to one of the largest Pride festivals in the world.
The Pride Parade will begin in approximately one hour. You can check out the pride route courtesy of Gay Pride Brazil here.
Happy Pride São Paulo.

“It was only a few weeks ago that America was lecturing the gay community about its intolerance for intolerance, for objecting to a bigot (in fact, an anti-gay activist, Brendan Eich) running a major American corporation (in this case, the Mozilla Foundation). Republicans, including gay conservatives, were particularly upset that anyone would judge a man’s job performance, especially the man running a company, by his personal animus towards minorities, many of whom would be his own employees. So long as he didn’t discriminate against his own employees, he was free to be a bigot, they told us. Now, they’re all eating crow. Today, even conservatives are saying (on CNN) that the NBA simply must investigate whether the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, Donald Sterling, made racist remarks to his girlfriend, who is black and Mexican. Apparently, Donald Sterling made the mistake of buying a basketball team rather than taking over a high-tech company.” – John Aravosis, writing for AmericaBlog.

Here is something so sweet to look at your eyes may develop cavities.
I didn’t even realize there was an image other than two dancers. It took me a minute to see the other, naughtier image this makes. My guess is that only gay men think this is an image of ballroom dancers.
If variety is the spice of life, then it appears this couple is quite spicy.

I love Anderson Cooper and stories like this just make me love him even more. Last week Derrick Gordon who plays for the University of Massachusetts basketball team came out as the first gay player in Division 1 men’s college basketball.
After Anderson Cooper tweeted a congratulatory message to Gordon, disgraced Canadian sports anchor Damian Goddard, who was fired back in 2011 for anti-gay comments, tweeted Anderson.
I love it when Anderson gets all sassy.
Earlier today Boston Pride announced the five musical acts will headline the Boston Pride Festival on Saturday, June 14th from noon to 6pm at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. This year’s entertainment includes: Mary Lambert, A Great Big World, Alex Newell, JD Samson & Men , and Jeanie Tracy.
4/15/2014 Update: I was contacted by an employee of The Trophy Room who confirmed the Saturday Block Party will indeed take place as in past years outside the Chandler Inn.
With Fritz no longer at the corner of Chandler and Berkeley, I’m wondering if the unofficial block party that typically follows the parade on Saturday will still take place there. Last year AIDS Action Committee (the beneficiary of the Saturday block party) merged with Fenway Health so I’m unsure of the status of that event. Anyone happen to know?
Later this week Go Out Loud will host a dance party tribute at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed as your favorite 1960s sitcom character or styled in your favorite look from the era to fashion for a chance to win prizes!
The retro dance party that pays tribute to over-the-top icons of television will have music spun by my buddy and DJ, “Gay” Jim Clerkin and Joslyn Fox. The fun starts at 6PM and more details about the evening are available here.
Cathedral Station is posting photos on their Facebook page of the work they are doing to convert the former home of The Red Fez restaurant into Boston’s newest gay bar.
You can follow their progress on their Facebook Page Here.
Looks like Cathedral Station will open around the same time the Trophy Room. Coincidence?
I doubt this guy is checking for a hernia and where the heck is the other guy’s head?
Are you going to the Fenway Men’s Event this year?
Sergio and I will miss the party as we will be just a few blocks away attending the wedding of a couple we’ve been friends with for more than a decade.
Despite our absence this year, I wanted to be sure to remind any of you who may be dragging your feet to buy your tickets to this annual fundraiser that helps Fenway Health. I’ve included my video from the 2013 Men’s Event to give you an idea of what is in store. More information can be found online here.

I’ve always been fascinated by ancient civilizations but none more so than Greece and Rome. Sergio has had to watch more than his fair share of documentaries on television as I sit mesmerized by the unfolding stories that chronicle the life and times of these civilizations.
I wonder if my curiosity was initially piqued because of homoerotic undertones; one need only look at a few sculptures from the time to know that the male physique was something those cultures admired. I can assure you that our text books (that’s right – I’m so old we used books) had nothing remotely close to Aaron’s photograph, but I also know that I’ve always had a vivid imagination. I find it interesting so many gay men have similar obsessive interests in Ancient cultures, and I can’t help but think there is something to it.
If you’ve been reading my blog you know that Cathedral Station is a new gay bar that will open in the space formerly occupied by the Red Fez on Washington Street in Boston’s South End. You may not have realized it, but the (soon to open) gay bar or as I like to refer to it, heterosexual-friendly bar, quietly introduced their Facebook page on Monday.
