Wow, all sorts of crazy things have been going on with me. It’s madness, I tell you! When my personal life is packed with conflict and whatnot it becomes easier for me to completely overlook important events. What could I be talking about? Oh I don’t know… maybe… same sex marriage is now recognized by the state of California?!
This issue doesn’t affect me in any way and I’ve always suspected it was a plot by the Republicans to divert media attention away from whatever insidious plots they were developing at the time. All that aside I was so fucking pleased that we won the right to be recognized as regular citizens that I very nearly peed in my pants. It isn’t special treatment, it’s EQUAL treatment. Now queers can legally wed and watch as their spirit slowly dies in a loveless union just like breeders!
To commemorate this major thrust forward in the gay movement the Pacific Design Center put on a special display and I was there to capture the action.

As urban gay guys in a metro gay ghetto it is quite easy for us to lose perspective on what it means to be a homo in the real world. To make matters worse, we are bombarded with negative media regarding attitudes towards gays in, shall we say, less traveled areas of the country. Let’s face it, the last place I want to get my information is from the American media.
Dear readers in red, square states I want to hear about your experiences. Seeing things like 30 Days: A Straight Man In A Gay World and Big Eden make me believe that people in general are far more accepting of gay individuals than we are led to believe. It’s Pride month and I think it would be great to show how far we’ve come in the past 38 years.
Please leave comments or drop me an e-mail with a personal story demonstrating the good or bad about being gay beyond the bassinet of the nearest boys’ town.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Once again my method of enjoying something by dreading it first paid off. The pride festival was thoroughly enjoyable Saturday because the crowd was pretty thin. And even though the beer was crap – it was only $5 so at least we didn’t feel robbed of cash as well as flavor.
Thank you to the many fans that stopped by to say hello and get a signed photo of me. I was especially pleased to see so many girls this year! Gay porn IS for everybody! And since Boy Wonder was there we got plenty of video for you to enjoy.

I’m kidding, of course. We are DREADING pride for many reasons not limited to unbearable bad behavior let loose on the streets; the non-stop bump of dull, soulless dance music at all hours; rainbow EVERYTHING; no parking – anywhere; urban legends of finding parking somewhere; admission fees that used to be donations that have gone up nine billionty percent in the past five years; layers of trash baking in the sun (and the litter they leave behind); ten minutes in the drinks ticket line, ten minutes in the drinks line only to find out there’s nothing good to drink and bloody ever!
OK. It’s not really that bad. But if your attitude is in the shitter beforehand you can only be pleasantly surprised – right? Well, that may be stretching it a wee bit.
Johnny and I will be out on Saturday afternoon soaking up rays and grinding our teeth to the beat at the Channel 1 booth. Well, he will anyway. Until then, enjoy the new version of the Deeper Into You video that only took two years to finish.
