    Aug 07 2012 | Masculinity is seen as sexy, but it’s also one of the most dangerous things in the world. Think of the recent string of high-profile shootings and murders, and then think of who’s committing them. Men. “That kind of hegemonic masculinity,” explains director Alistair Newton, &

  • Pull down your pants and party!
    Aug 01 2012 | “It’s just guys in their underwear dancing. It’s sexy, not a sex party,” Todd Klinck says. The Gitch parties at Goodhandy’s have grown into a giant slumber-party-type event. Unlike TNT parties, where genitals must be exposed, Gitch fellas keep it covered up, sporting as

  • VIDEO: Gays of our lives
    Aug 01 2012 | After 47 years and almost 12,000 episodes, this daytime soap opera has had its first man-on-man “sex” scene. Although it’s not really sex so much as implied sex. It’s hot and actually pretty beautiful, but it feels a lot like it’s leading into some gay porn.   Fr

  • How to Survive a Hurricane: The Playlist
    Aug 01 2012 | So, sitting in my room last night fearing for my life, in between power outages, I started trying to come up with some songs about a certain Category 1 hurricane. You may have heard of her.   If that goody-two-storm system makes you want to barf, you’ll want to start out with a little b
  • Art for pretty boys’ sake
    Aug 01 2012 | One of my absolute favorite things about tumblr is the abundance of amazing artists. One who I started following recently, and who’s definitely worth checking out, is Brooklyn based tramps-loeil.tumblr.com.   Their process seems to be that they take a picture of a male model, and turn i
  • VIDEO: From stiletto to perfetto
    Aug 01 2012 | If you haven’t seen Kazaky’s last video, check that out, then check out their new one: “Last Night.” It's gorgeous. Kind of like a Lady Gaga wet dream, in the best way possible. Or maybe a modern, less '80s version of “I Want to Break Free,” without the dr

  • Raise a little Ellen
    Aug 01 2012 | Ellen DeGeneres is amazing. That’s not really something anyone would disagree with (except “One Million” Moms, I guess).   You know who definitely agrees she’s awesome? Fellow (and equally amazing) gay stars like Sean Hayes, Lily Tomlin and Jane Lynch, who spoke up whe
  • Best parents ever
    Aug 01 2012 | Amelia and her partner have a very fashion-forward seven-year-old son. A son who loves ninjas, football, monster trucks and Glee. And a seven-year-old son who likes boys. And a son who wants a T-shirt from Glee that says “Likes boys.”   And it’s a T-shirt he’ll definit
  • VIDEO: Size queens
    Aug 01 2012 | There’s nothing specifically gay about this video, but come on: it’s Norway. They’ve recognized same-sex unions since 1993!   This is just a friendly Monday-morning reminder that Norwegians are better than you.   That’s all.
  • VIDEO: Mainers for marriage
    Aug 01 2012 | I'm from the New Brunswick/Maine border (and am half-American by blood) and spent a good portion of childhood in rural Maine.

  • Such a teaser
    Aug 01 2012 | There are a lot of reasons to be excited about James Franco’s 40 Minutes.   First of all, check out the teaser and proceed to get eye-fucked by a series of total cuties.   Secondly, Franco and gay filmmaker Travis Mathews were inspired by the controversial film Cruising, where Al
  • The price is finally right
    Aug 01 2012 | Whenever the daytime television game show The Price Is Right comes up in conversation, people often reminisce that it was the show for kids who stayed home sick from school. Bob Barker, the wheel and “What was the last bid?” punctuated many a sick day.   Now, imagine if a sexy mal
