Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan showed up at the Met Gala in outfits that were clearly making statements.

And what do they tell us? That these two global male superstars are ready to play with their conservative images.

I applaud them for pushing boundaries inspiring a whole generation of upcoming young Men to rethink what’s possible!

Where were you?

On the morning of 9/11/2001 I was awakened by my Master Aaron bursting through the door of my condo (he had a key) to tell me planes had hit the World Trade Center.

I groggily turned on the television, and instantly awakened. My eyes never shut again.

Master Aaron and I sat frozen together that day as the tragedy unfolded before our eyes. Just like the every American across the country that day. It was a shared nightmare of a country suffering collective sleep paralysis.

When we parted ways that day, I hugged him tightly. In his muscular arms there was safety, but there was a new fear in the air.

In the days that followed we tried to work and carry on, but we were zombies lost in the woods. We stumbled through a new reality like the survivors at Ground Zero, a settling cloud of dust obscuring our way.

Little did we know on that horrific day 20 years ago how badly we would be injured. Yes, buildings rose again from those ashes, but so did hate, division, racism, and xenophobia. America lashed out in blind rage, causing the deaths of millions of innocent people. Now she lashes out at herself.

The wound of 9/11 has proved to be a mortal one, festering and becoming infected. It now threatens to kill the body itself.

Today there will be a lot of patriotism. A lot of fake, flag-hugging jingoism and “we shall overcome” pride.

But I prefer to remember the mourning of that morning with my Master. Temporary memories in mortal lives lost too easily, like debris in the midst of catastrophe.

Never Forget

It’s the 35-year anniversary of “True Colors”, the timeless classic by Cyndi Lauper.

For the LGBTQ+ community, this song epitomizes the culture to which the community aspires. One of inclusion and safety. To bring hope to the broken and downtrodden.

We have a long way to go on that front, especially with the virulent, right-wing turmoil in much of Western culture that has sadly infected some of our ranks as well.

Hopefully we can swing back toward the simple message of love in this little song.

This is a brand new video for Troye Sivan’s “In A Dream” from last year’s EP In A Dream. The album was one of the few pleasant surprises of 2020, and this song (about Troye’s breakup with his longtime partner Jacob Taylor Bixenman) was one the highlights.

But everything is eclipsed by Troye’s criminally sexy new look. What is this called? Hooker Twink? Whatever it is, I like it. He’s really working it!

This dude’s message (times) 630,000!

Don’t want the vaccine? Won’t wear a mask?

Cool.

STAY HOME AND DIE!

It’s non-negotiable. Trump must be appropriately punished.

Matt Damon made a mistake. He told the truth.

Here’s the quote that he tossed off in a recent interview:

“I made a joke (using the word “faggot”) months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter.”

The issue, it seems, comes not just from the use of the word, but the fact that it happened “months ago.” GASP! The outrage machine whipped into full frenzy over the anecdote, with virtually every major publication posting think-pieces on toxic masculinity and homophobic hate crimes.

Look, Matt Damon grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. It is as blue-collar and as tough of an environment as a Man can handle. If Damon didn’t use the f-word he probably would’ve gotten his pretty face kicked in before he ever got out of high school. It’s just reality.

But without even considering those obvious circumstances Damon is being demonized for being a homophobic monster.

Welcome to my world, Matt. I’m actually a real-life faggot and I am not allowed to use the word without absolute censorship and castigation. I cannot tell you how many accounts I’ve lost simply for expressing the word that so intimately describes my own truth. That level of constant harassment led me to create this site as a safe haven for both the word and the use of it.

No, I don’t endorse the use of the word “faggot” in a hateful, derogatory way. However, the word does have its uses. It perfectly describes the function of extremely submissive males who serve Men, and it’s also a very funny word (like “retard”).

I don’t think Damon was using the word inappropriately. And he even admitted to achieving an improved view of the word since then from his daughter. Instead of being raking over the coals for this interview, Damon should be hailed for his honesty and humility.

But, more importantly, people like Damon (or people like me) should be given the benefit of the doubt based on our experiences. Damon’s Boston upbringing and my life as a faggot inform our use of the word. A bit of thought is important before leaping on the outrage train so we don’t make a fatal misstep.

Here is the shocking voice mail left on the cell phone of Officer Fanone – an American hero – by a Trump supporter yesterday.

Hillary called them deplorable. They’re worse than that.

Listen to Tucker Carlson – the exact opposite of a hero like Officer Fanone – question the truth to his everlasting shame.

I wouldn’t have a problem if we rounded up these people and drowned them in the ocean. They are the worst people on Earth.

Disgusting.

There are simply no words for the images above.

We know why they went to the Capitol. We know who directed them. We know who covered it up.

They all need to pay. No police officer who protected the seat of our government should ever be this broken and angry:

No legislator should ever be forced to openly weep at the blatant villainy on display within his own party:

I’m a faggot, but right now I’m an angry faggot. I want the perpetrators of this heinous attack swinging from trees.

“I want my life back,” is what pop star Britney Spears told a judge today as she battles against the bizarre conservatorship that controls her $60M estate.

I can understand why conservatorships might be useful in the case of underaged stars who are making large sums of money that they can’t possibly comprehend, but why Britney is still bound into this shady scheme as she nears 40 years old is beyond me. I watched the acclaimed documentary “Framing Britney Spears,” but I still didn’t feel like I had a grasp on the sinister machinations behind it.

But I must commend all of the gays who have been standing up for her all of these years. They were right. Even this attention-seeking dumbass:

So Chris Crocker is now a woman? Wasn’t he just playing a butch-looking faggot sticking fruit up his ass in some porn recently? But now he’s a woman. Whatever.

I want my life back from this crazy-ass world too, BritBrit.

Congratulations to Carl Nassib for becoming the first NFL player to come out as gay! What an inspiration, and what a way to finish Pride month!

I’m sure there are a few tight ends in need of a lineman!

Yeah, I don’t care if you don’t like my political posts.

FOX NEWS hypnotizes its sycophants into believing that the term ANTIFA is bad. That anyone calling themselves ANTIFA are anti-American.

ANTIFA literally means “anti-fascist.”

There simply is no other term more American than ANTIFA. As the powerful new Lincoln Project video above shows, America has always been violently anti-fascism for her entire history.

Well, until a fascist dictator-wannabe got into the White House.

I’m proudly ANTIFA because I’m a proud American.

Yeah, I know you want me to post sex pics and crap. But this happened in my country a couple of months ago, and I’m not okay with it.

And I’m really not okay with Republican lawmakers and supporters trying to act like it didn’t happen or it was no big deal.

It’s the biggest deal.

This was a domestic terror attack against our form of government and the values of our country. It was an assault against all of the things about America that made us unique in the world and caused oppressed people around the world to look to us for hope. People like my boy from Syria.

This is not okay. It should never be okay.

I will never stop fighting against it so long as there are people among us who think that America is only for a select few. Or that America should be a shining beacon of stupidity, fear-mongering, and anti-science.

Or that America should be a place of hate. Nazi flags and confederate flags? Allegiance to a con man over a constitution? Not in my America.

America and her citizens have always stood against such things in the past. I will not stand by silently while those values are destroyed.

I cannot do that, and neither can you.

Say what you want about us, but we faggots make the world a better place!

Randy Rainbow – the singing faggot – has been a joy through all of the Trump nonsense, but here he is singing a sharp little ditty about the COVID vaccine!

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so next-level crazy that she definitely deserves to be savagely mocked by my brother Randy Rainbow. Delicious! ❤️

I know people want to put away the Trump issue, but it’s not over.

Yesterday 45 Republicans voted against a trial for Trump’s obvious incitement of the Capitol attack.

These same Republicans wanted to lock Hillary Clinton up for Benghazi a few years ago, and she, as a private citizen, sat for ELEVEN HOURS of testimony before being found innocent.

Trump should be held to account for his anti-American actions which are FAR WORSE than Benghazi.

A nation without laws is not a nation.

What happened on the southern border was/is one of the most heinous and inhumane acts ever perpetrated on American soil. I curse everybody who voted for Trump for this alone.

Hopefully President Biden can correct this as well!
