Yet another reason why I've deleted Facebook, lol

Can you specify and define what you mean by behaviours?

I wonder if there's a correlation between being gay and having father issues. I always wondered.

Track. It poses less impact on the joints.

No, but it's a huge fear of mine. I don't know what I'd do if that happened to be.

@Gianni89:

Santorum is going off over this:https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/06/04/supreme-court-rules-against-gay-wedding-exemptions/1052989001/ A ruling which IMO was HEAVILY flawed and contradictory. Religious freedoms are protected in the US, however this was not a church, these people were offering goods and services. They were not specifically designated as a "Religious" bakery, where the casual consumer (gays) might pause before doing business there. "Masterpiece Cake Shop" does not convey any such thing.

BUT even if it did, common sense and fear that your shop might get torched would keep you from putting up a sign that reads "Sorry, but due to our religious beliefs we do not decorate for GAYS." Because of course that would evoke the mental image of the "Whites only" days. As well it should, as it is just as glaring discrimination.

"Kennedy acknowledged that business owners generally cannot deny equal access to goods and services under a neutral public accommodations law. Otherwise, he said, "a long list of persons who provide goods and services for marriages and weddings might refuse to do so for gay persons, thus resulting in a community-wide stigma inconsistent with the history and dynamics of civil rights laws."

Yet the ruling does effectively open the door quite widely for exactly THAT,and IS in effect in total contradiction of that law - which is the point Tubin was making. It was pissing Santorum off. Because discrimination is exactly what got protected in that ruling and Santorum fucking well knew it, and as any other time that religion looks like it is even vaguely under attack, people who USE IT as their almighty sword in DEFENDING acts of discrimination get VERY worked up. It is their last line of THINLY VEILED defense for their "God given" right TO discriminate.

I'm afraid once again this depicts a legal system that is no way in step with our evolution.

Separation of church and state. … Many view separation of church and state as required by the First Amendment (see also First Amendment). The First Amendment not only allows citizens the freedom to practice any religion of their choice, but also prevents the government from officially recognizing or favoring any religion ... UNLESS it involves a cake shop and gay guys.

Santorum in general is a homophobe who thinks that his religious affiliation enables his bigotry. It's quite frustrating tbh.

Come out when you feel ready to come out.

The Sidekicks by Will Kostakis (a gay author) seems to have a gay male character?

@NickJakobs:

Hi guys, i have been reading alot lately that its a waste of time to lose weight . Which means they say just  do the muscle workout the weight will go as you do that.
I do cardio and it gets boring fast  , doing treadmill or cross trainer for an hour. Do any of you do any other cardio workouts that are good?
And do you believe its true that cardio for loosing weight is wasting time ?
There is so much overflow on information that you dont know whats true anymore.

You need to do cardio, "muscle" (resistance training), and a healthy diet. Don't do crash-dieting and instead, eat at a small calorific deficit with high amounts of lean protein.

You’re not going to find Russell Tovey on a dating app anytime soon…
The British actor covers the September issue of Gay Times to mark the launch of his pair of one-act Harold Pinter plays that will run as part of the Pinter At The Pinter season between 13 September to 20 October.

The star talks everything from the possibility of a gay Doctor Who, to the #MeToo movement in our cover interview with him, while also reflecting on the ever-changing face of the gay scene in London, and dating in general.

“On the one hand, nowadays, when you go out with someone as a gay man, you’re getting asked, ‘When are you getting married? Are you having kids?’ and that’s something that’s only happened since the laws have changed and suddenly you’re like, ‘I can do this. That’s now a consideration’…” he says.

But he adds that the flipside of that acceptance is that we now live in a world where traditionally gay spaces are open to everyone.

“I went out in Soho on Saturday night and ended up in Freedom, which I’ve always loved and it felt like the gay people in there were in the minority suddenly,” he explains, not that he minded, just that he noticed.

“Walking up Wardour Street, it felt like everyone was in their 20s, boys and girls snogging against walls. Not gay men or lesbians but straight young teenage couples.”

He adds: “I just hope everyone comes off the apps and gets back out there in the bars. It’s the only way it’s going to change.”

When it comes to dating, Russell reveals that he much prefers an unexpected encounter in a bar, rather than trying to match with someone on a dating app.

“It’s so much more exciting when you’re in a bar and you catch someone’s eye and you smile and go over and shake someone’s hand. That is far sexier than being sent someone’s dick pic,” he says.

The actor also confesses that he’s “very, very, very vanilla,” going on to add: “I’m a one-man guy. I just want to be with that person whoever that person is.”

Russell Tovey stars in The Lover and The Collection as part of the Pinter At The Pinter season.

@raphjd:

Brunei only fairly recently made homosexuality a death penalty crime.

Seriously? This seems like the opposite of progress. Yikes.

…is that he is a poorly-executed character.

@kulope:

I dont get it. can someone explain?

The Scoutmaster makes the joke pretty obvious haha. It's a joke about taking things literally.

Sure, she's great tbh.

I'd give it a try, but our personalities need to be compatible.

Five times a week. I'd go more often, but rest days are allegedly just as important for muscle growth as gym days are. The gym helps me find stress relief, which is nice.

I'm not sure why he's so upset about gay cupcakes, but it is what it is.

Personally, I'm a fan of the Persona games. They're quite entertaining, imo

We think it’s safe to say Lucas Hedges doesn’t care much for labels.

In a new interview with Vulture, the Lady Bird actor opens up about his sexuality, saying: “I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum. Not totally straight, but also not gay, and not necessarily bisexual.”

He continues, “In the early stages of my life, some of the people I was most infatuated with were my closest male friends. That was the case through high school, and I think I was always aware that while for the most part I was attracted to women.”

The 21-year-old, who was nominated for his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Manchester By the Sea in 2017, goes on to recall feeling “ashamed” in middle school about existing on a spectrum.

“I felt ashamed that I wasn’t 100 percent [straight], because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn’t as much,” he says.

Hedges will appear in the gay conversion drama Boy Erased, which opens in theaters in November. In it, he plays a gay teenager forced to attend conversion therapy by his religious parents, played by Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.

“I recognized that sense of anticipating and waiting for anyone and everyone to be like, ‘There’s something wrong with you,’” Hedges says about the upcoming role. “It’s a story about shame, which felt to me like the governing factor of my life and my childhood.”

In addition to Boy Erased, Hedges is set to make his Broadway debut in The Waverly Gallery later this year.

Night in, tbh. Alas, a lot of gays seem to prefer a night out.
