Rum Dump at the Stonewall Inn
I've reported in the past how utterly disappointed I was in the "new" Stonewall Inn -- to put it mildly -- the historic bar where began the modern-day Gay Rights movement. (There was a movement even before the Stonewall rebellion, let's make that cle...
Things Change -- But Not That Much
The straight people who went into gay bars twenty years ago are often very different from the straight people who go into gay bars today.Twenty -- or even ten -- years ago the straight people (unless they wandered into the wrong bar) were generally a...
Gay Pride Doings
THE BEST LAID PLANSOkay, these are two things I don't usually do on this blog, run sexy photos like this one of these two leather guys kissing, and talk a bit about my personal life. But what the hell? Gay Pride weekend didn't quite go off the way I ...
Oops!
DON'T POST WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPY! Okay, in my last post on the possibilities of Tyrone Power, Katharine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy being homosexual, there was this incredible sentence:His daughter, who died before he was even born, insists he wasn't gay...
So What If Somebody's Gay?
I don't know if actor Tyrone Power (pictured) was gay, but I remember all the controversy that happened when Hector Arce came out with a biography that claimed he was either gay or bi. As I've said on previous posts, an author had better have some so...
Gay-Bashed at the Stonewall Inn
I've gone to the new "gay-owned" Stonewall Inn almost every week on one night or another since it opened in early 2007. I was very excited when it opened and made sure to be there on the very first day (I wanted to be the first customer but got there...
Now This is No Surprise
Just as it was no surprise that the bi-identified Tila Tequila ultimately chose a man at the end of the idiotic reality series A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila -- you can read more about it here -- it's also no surprise that she and her chosen one, 2...
Gay-Friendly Closet Cases
A bartender at the newly reopened Stonewall Inn in New York City informed me that although he certainly "fooled around" with men, he had a girlfriend and that was that. "We’re very happy," he told me." I know that’s not what you want to hear."Wel...
Bisexual Advocate? OR Why I'd Rather Not Date a Bisexual
A writer named Job Brother has written a humor piece on reactions to his bisexuality for the online edition of The Advocate ("Fairy Tales" commentary/October 2007). He tells how when he told his gay date that he was bisexual the man reacted as if he...
A homo who has sex with his wife every day -- WOW!
A PERSONAL AD TO AVOIDOkay, I saw a really funny personal ad on a gay friendship/sex site the other day.First of all I have to say the guy who placed the ad and photos was really pissed. He was angry at some of the responses he got and had removed hi...
Go Go Assholes
More than once I've watched a go go boy in a gay bar -- after collecting lots of tips from the men in the bar -- walk over to the one and only woman in the bar and hit on her. While this doesn't convince me that the man is straight, it does convince...
Not-so-Gay George, Gay Pride, and Gay Rights
The other night I ran into a man I've known for quite a few years -- I'll call him George. George and I are "bar friends" -- we run into each other once in a while, don't necessarily know that much about each other's personal lives, don't exchange p...
Married Homosexuals
I was at a friend's birthday party a couple of weeks ago and one of his old college roommates was there. He talked not so much about his wife -- who was not present -- but a lot about his daughters, whom he seemed genuinely proud of. He seemed to be...
The Gay/Bisexual Debate
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has issued a 148 page report on Bisexual Health which may have some shaking their heads in disbelief (it can be downloaded at the Task Force's website); I certainly found a lot of it mind-bogglingly stupid.Firs...
