@Adverse The Horizon is on Youtube in the US. It's one of my favorites. Low budget, some cast changes, but well written and good characters.

It's the old 4.49 g John Kelland torrent. I've been seeding it for years as I just get a kick out of his personality and want it to be there for others. Anyway, the arrows red on my Utorrent as it appears my tracker is no longer correct. I searched this site but the torrent is gone, not under active or even under dead torrents. Does anyone understand what happened, or, as is disconcertingly often the case, am I missing something really obvious I should have checked? Thank you!

Short film on youtube posted by the director. I liked it a year ago but it didn't have English subtitles back then. I thought it was worth wider viewing so am suggesting it here.

I can't find it and am in the mood to watch it after seeing "Winning Dad." There is a little bit of similarity I think.

For the short, I think I saw it on vimeo. A man is trying to get into his hotel room but is having problems with the lock but an odd old guy who seems to be a resident tells him how. He goes into his room and appears bummed. Knock at the door, it's his conservative father who has never been comfortable with him being gay. Father's there because he knows his son had a fight with his lover and the relationship is in jeopardy and shares a bit about his own relationship challenges with his own marriage. Turns out dad brought the lover with him so they could talk, but tells the lover he'll stay in the parking lot in case he decides he doesn't want to stay. Much like "Winning Dad" it was a film about a father coming to accept his son and wanting to support his relationship.

@diriomaneva I have been having this problem as well. I made sure qbittorrent is fully updated and tried the "random port" suggestion above. I've done some help searching and just can't figure it out, which I hope it means it's something obvious right in front of my face.

@lmixxo Welcome! I'm studying Spanish and planning to vacation in Mexico. Do you have a place you go to for downloading more mainstream movies?

I don't want to download the entire DVD to see it on the extras, but would someone mind summarizing briefly? Sorry to seem lazy. I wondered if the cycling at the end of the film related to the location to which the couple had moved and if there were more meaning to be read into it.

It's one of those "bad" made-for-tv sci fi disaster movies.  The fun thing is that two of the main characters are gay and (spoiler) don't get killed.  I liked it.

Has this cropped up anywhere?  I used to enjoy the thread on gay-pirates.com, but the site went away.

Tergar.org has a non-religious sequence of meditation classes and retreats (Joy of Living) and also Buddhist classes and retreats.  I only have experience of the non-religious aspects but found it very accessible and good.  In terms of openness, they have demonstrated sensitivity to concerns raised by gay participants.  Opportunities for me to meditate in the rural Midwestern US tend to be with Buddhist groups and in my experience all have been very welcoming.  The only odd experience I had was going to a retreat day and being shocked to discover everyone but me was Sri Lankan.  It was actually a Buddhist church and all families with kids and a potluck and everything.  Everyone was really nice, but I felt like a complete fish out of water-a lovely experience, actually.
