This. That. No Other.

Oh, bygone eras of sublimated male eroticism! Before there was Xtube there was newsgroup photo-sharing and before those there were dirty videos (βeta!) and magazines. And before those there were International Male catalogs and “fitness” magazines and before those there were the swimsuit and underwear sections of Sears and Eaton’s catalogs.
And before those there were [...]

Oh, hey. I turned “30″ this week.
Three days ago, to be exact, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention it (at least in passing). We all mark significant milestones in our lives, and 22 September 1979 was one of the most critical in my development. Not unlike a majority of gay men of my [...]

So we’re off to Israel in a month and planning’s in full swing, so I decided to share some videos we’ve been watching while researching. We’ll (of course) be using Sheepy’s invaluable posts on Israel and Israeli culture to inform our itinerary, and the abundant assistance we’re receiving from friends of the faith who’ve made [...]

Next to “Roam”, this is probably my fave B-52’s song*. Don’t think the grocers’ apostrophe doesn’t drive me nuts — they fixed it last year, with the release of Funplex — but self-identification is to be respected. The literal representation of the instruments cracks me up and, Cindy, you ARE my goddess!

*No, [...]

There really wasn’t much discussion about it.
Though Champ and I never really did The Pride Thing in Toronto — at least, not together, and not for the past few years — we didn’t need to really discuss whether (or not) we were going to take in Vancouver’s festivities . We just knew, y’know? I mean, [...]

It’s not that I’m a packrat as much as… okay, I’m a packrat. Or, rather, was.
Lately I’ve been going through boxes and boxes of stuff of neither use nor interest to anyone but the various people I’ve been over the past thirty or so years. And it’s all getting trashed. Well, most of it. Some [...]

So, hey, it’s International Day Against Homophobia 2009 today. IDAH’09!
I want to tell you a story about a teenager in Calgary, Alberta. A normal kid, smarter than most, bookish but enthusiastically into politics and culture in all its forms. Like most teenaged young men, he had a healthy (read: voracious) sexual appetite. He had an [...]

Lisp? Check. Bitchy back-stabbing? Check. Ridiculous preoccupation with the most trite aspects of homoeroticism? Check. Repurposing a classic Hollywood story with a gay context where not one shred originally existed? Hell, yeah.
Funny? Uh-huh.

Sometimes I catch him staring at me with this look in his eyes, like he can’t believe how lucky he is to be in such extraordinary company. I can’t for the life of me figure out how he comes to such a ludicrous conclusion but then he occasionally catches me staring at him with what [...]

How many kinds of wrong?

Gay Comics #22, Winter 1944
I mean, the physics of the whole scenario is wack. There’s NO WAY that cake’s icing would fly up like that!

Never let it be said I’m not a follower.
On the heels of similar blogbuddy posts — here and here — I paid a visit to The Hero Factory and crafted my own, superpersonalized  superhero. Some parts of him are off and some dead-on. I’ll leave it for you to decide which are which.

I acknowledge in [...]

Eduardo Verástegui, BIGOT
In the fallout from the Prop 8 debacle, one thing is patently obvious: bigots really fucking hate it when they’re a) identified by name and, b), called-out as the bigots they truly are. Mike “Hateful Bigot” Huckabee certainly made that clear in his interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show earlier this week.
So it’s [...]

After this evening’s martini(s)? Probably not.
