Throwing Eggs At Gays In Wilton Manors; Gay Pornster Bruno Bernal and the N Word; Is Aging Harder For LGBT People?

Throwing Eggs At Gays In Wilton Manors

Here's more on the egg throwing incident in Wilton Manors, FL. There's a very large gay population there. 

He said that, shortly before midnight, a car appeared in front of them on Wilton Drive at Northeast 7th Avenue.

“Suddenly we heard somebody scream, ‘Do you want to be gay?’ And got hit from behind with an egg,” Carter explained CBS Miami.

Here's more.  It's been a while since I've heard about anything like this happening. 

Gay Pornster Bruno Bernal and the N Word

I'll never understand why some people have to do these things. 

Gay adult film performer Bruno Bernal has doubled down on his use of the word after being widely criticized this week, suggesting those offended by his language should “grow a thicker skin and be less sensitive.”

Here's the rest. It goes into a lot more detail. But his employers, Men.com, released a statement where they make it clear they'll no longer be working with him. 

Is Aging Harder For LGBT People?

I think for some of us aging is harder. I follow the Keto diet routinely. I work out more often and I'll pretty much do anything to fight the aging process. And I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. 

There's a survey at the link below designed for LGBT who are aging. 

Whatever age you are, we want to know how you feel. We’re hoping to create a picture of what our community feels about ageing. If you’re a teen, a senior, or anywhere in between, we want to hear your voice.

Gay Star News is working with organisations and individuals dedicated to helping improve the future of older LGBTI people. We will be sharing the results with them, and publishing them, to ensure the information you share influences the right people.

Here's the link. On the plus side of all this vanity, there are a lot of health benefits that go along with the fear of aging. And you do feel better, physically.

Zakar Twins and Sexual Assault; Monica Lewinsky Sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"; Throwing Eggs At Gays In Wilton Manors

Zakar Twins and Sexual Assault

The Zakar twins are male models, and they recently brought sexual assault allegations against photographer, Rick Day.

Zach recounts a similar story, sharing that, “Before we start shooting, [Day] bluntly says: ‘I’m going to shoot you, then you’re going to make me shoot.’ I nervously laughed because I didn’t know if he was serious or not.”

The rest is here. 

Don't miss the comments. 

Monica Lewinsky Sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"


I've never been to Club Cumming, but I think I would love it. I love things like this.

Alan Cumming had a pretty big guest at his New York City bar, atply titled Club Cumming, on Monday (23 July) night. It was none other than Monica Lewinsky.

The anti-bullying advocate was at the bar celebrating her 45th birthday and she ended up on stage herself.

But not before the whole crowd sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her. She tweeted out a video of the moment, calling herself a ‘lucky girl’.

Here's more. There's a great video, too. She's actually pretty good, and the pianist is excellent. 

Throwing Eggs At Gays In Wilton Manors

For those who don't know, Wilton Manors is the ultimate gay neighborhood in Florida. So it's hard to believe something like this could happen there. 

WILTON MANORS, Fla. - Brian Carter said he and two friends were standing outside of Gym Bar inWilton Manors Monday Night when someone started throwing eggs at them.

"I mostly just heard the yelling and was pelted right away," Carter said. "It was a pretty heavy hit right here, but it splattered so much and it hit a couple other people."

Here's the rest.

Trump's New Policy Will Force US Soldiers with HIV Out; Wiz Khalifa's Homophobic Banana Eating Rant; What Is the Equality Act?

Trump's New Policy Will Force US Soldiers with HIV Out

I wanted to link to something reliable, so this is from Bloomberg. 

The policy, announced in February, directs the Pentagon to discharge service members who can’t be deployed outside of the U.S. for more than 12 consecutive months “for any reason.” It takes effect Oct. 1.

An earlier directive put in place at the height of the AIDS crisis prevents service members with HIV from deploying overseas, meaning the new policy “makes it effectively impossible for people living with HIV to serve,” the soldier said Thursday in a filing seeking an injunction against the rule. There are about 1,200 soldiers with HIV, according to the complaint.

You can read the rest, here.  It goes into a lot more detail far better than I could with something this important. I highly suggest you check this one out.

There's another article, here. 

What Is The Equality Act?

This is important to understand. This piece goes into a fairly well-detailed explanation of the Equality Act, and how it originated. But more important, what it means to LGBT people. 

A recent example is the Masterpiece Cakeshop Supreme Court case, in which cases the Justice decided narrowly for a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

Federal, nationwide protections for LGBTI people in the area of public accommodation could have avoided this.

Here's more. The bible thumpers aren't going to like this one. The Equality Act dates back to 1974. 

Wiz Khalifa's Homophobic Banana Eating Rant

I'm going to apologize for linking to this ahead of time, but I thought it was interesting because of the way some on Twitter replied.

Apparently, if you’re a straight guy, and you eat a banana from the peel like a normal person, people might get the wrong idea about your sexuality.

Here's the rest. As I said, it's more about the Tweets/replies with this one. 

For those who don't know, Khalifa is a rapper.

Children With No Gender At All; "Rub andTug" May Be Scrapped After Scarlett Johansson Dropped Out; Cuba and Gay Marriage

Children With No Gender At All

I'm curious about this one. I don't think it's ever been done before either, at least not until recently.

Nate and Julia Sharpe are raising their three-year-old twins with no gender at all. Coined “theybies,” the couple do not reveal the biological sex of their children to anyone, including the children themselves. The couple are the center of a new report from NBC News, exploring the world of gender-free parenting that many millennial are beginning to use.

Here's the rest. There are more parents doing this, too. There's a Facebook group for people with theybies with over 200 members. 

While I think this is a little extreme, I think it's wonderful that we're slowly moving toward breaking down all gender stereotypes. 


"Rub and Tug" May Be Scrapped After Scarlett Johansson Dropped Out

I find it hard to believe that there isn't a transgender man out there who could play a transgender male character in a movie. In fact, I don't believe it. 

 Rub & Tug, a film about a trans man named Dante ‘Tex’ Gill, may be scrapped after Scarlett Johansson stepped down from the lead role.

Here's more. They go into a lot more back story, and they explain why Johansson backed out of the role. Some of the comments are disturbing, though. It's amazing to see so many who simply do not understand why Johansson backed out. 

Cuba and Gay Marriage

This sounds promising for LGBT people in Cuba.

The draft of Cuba’s new constitution opens the path to same-sex marriage, a government official said on Saturday, which would make the country that once persecuted homosexuals an unlikely leader in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.

You can read more, here. It's short, but gives a few good details.

Gay Man Sues Police Over False Cruising Arrest Accusations; George Michael Committed Suicide Says Lover; Trans Man Gets Penis

Gay Man Sues Police Over False Cruising Arrest Accusations

I have seen this kind of thing happen all of my adult life. I've witnessed it personally. Police will target gay men in public rest areas or restrooms, and the gay men don't even have to be doing anything wrong.

In this particular case, someone is fighting back.

A man is suing New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority after he claims he was unfairly arrested on false claims of cruising in a public restroom.

The wrongful arrest happened on the morning of April 17, 2017 inside men’s restroom at the Grand Central Terminal.

You can read it all, here. It goes into a good deal more detail. He was cleared of all charges in court.

 George Michael Committed Suicide Says Lover

This is too bizarre. According to this article, George Michael may not have died of natural causes. These claims are being made by George Michael's lover, Fadi Fawas. 

He says George took his own life on Christmas Eve – his mother’s birthday – and lay dead for 24 hours, before Fawas discovered him.

Here's more. George Michael's estate has "no trust" in anything Fawas is saying. 


Trans Man Gets Penis

This is fascinating to read. 

And on February 5, he became the first-ever person to undergo a phalloplasty — the “bottom” surgery to affirm his genitalia from female to male — in New Jersey.

Here's the link.  They get into a lot more back story about his journey.

Gay Couple Allegedly Turned Away by Indiana Florist

And the discrimination continues...

A florist in Avon, Indiana, refused to sell wedding flowers to a gay couple according to one of the men. David Elliott says he and his partner, Daniel Collins, were refused service when the shop owner realized the wedding didn’t include a bride.

Here's the rest. One of the grooms said they won't take further action. They just want to forget about it, celebrate their legal marriage, and move on with their lives.

Those Sexy Gay Male Water Polo Players

This one is all about the fun and celebration. 

The Stingers, a team of sexy queer water polo players from Sydney, Australia, just released their own version of the hit RuPaul‘s Drag Race All Stars 2 anthem “Read U, Wrote U.” They re-wrote the popular track with their own lyrics that throw some shade towards the way of their competition at the upcoming Gay Games in Paris, France.

There's more, here. There's a photo and a video you won't want to miss. It's actually pretty good. 

Cher Meeting Her First Gay Man

Here's a story about the first time Cher met a gay man. Please keep in mind that she's an elderly woman and I highly doubt she means any harm. I know it's the kind of thing that's offensive to many of you, but it's the way things were way back in her day. I think her intentions are good. 

‘I came home from school and there were these two guys in our living room. They were talking to my Mom and her best friend and they were so happy and excited about everything they were talking about. So animated. I thought these guys are much more fun than the regular men that come over to visit. I didn’t know they were gay but I just thought these guys are great. It just started from them.’

Here's the rest of the story.
