The man, who asked not to be identified, dined at Plush Daiquiri Bar and Grill in Houston last Saturday.

Chicago police this week released their investigative files and videos from the alleged staged hate crime on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett. And while there are certainly bigger things going on in the world than holding a microscope to this embarrassing ordeal, Smollett made us all a part of it by taking his allegedly untrue account so very public. These videos do absolutely nothing to support his maintained stance of total innocence. Included in the nearly 70 hours of video is the...

After having his GoFundMe fundraiser yanked, a new campaign has been launched to help disgraced rugby player Israel Folau raise $1 million to cover his legal expenses after getting fired for being a homophobe. And it’s making serious bank. GoFundMe announced earlier this week that it was suspending Folau’s campaign to raise $3 million to cover his legal expenses after he his contract with the New South Wales Waratahs team was terminated when he wrote a series of antigay social...

If you go to Pride, it’s almost a guarantee that you’ll see protestors holding signs reminding you how sinful and hellbound you are. Taylor Swift would probably tell them, “You need to calm down,” but one couple took a different approach: making out in front of a Christian protestor until he was so squicked out that he had to walk away. In the video, a protestor wearing an orange shirt with “REPENTANCE” written on the arms holds up a tall...

Norm Self describes making his adult film debut at age 83 as “splendid.” The retired clergyman from North Carolina tells The Sun he feels “more vibrant” than ever, because his “erotic energy has taken over” since pivoting from a lifelong career in the church to a late career in adult entertainment two years ago. So far, 85-year-old Self has appeared in four gay adult films since 2017. And while he hasn’t been paid for his work, he’s really not too concerned about...

“It’s hard not to feel like something in my personal life is not being scandalized because that’s kind of the way it feels when you read headlines about yourself, especially when you read headlines that have this big bang to them, and then you read the article and you’re like, ‘Why did you write that article? There is actually nothing there.’ It’s all just something to egg on some sort of rumor cycle that will just keep going around until...

Less than a week after announcing his retirement as a performer for the gay adult site Gayhoopla citing addiction issues, Collin Simpson has been banned by the webcam site Chaturbate after fans reported seeing him overdose or nearly overdose during a live broadcast. Simpson, for his part, denies he took any mind-altering substance during his stream, but viewers, many of whom are rightfully worried for his mental and physical health, aren’t buying it. Gay adult blog Str8UpGayPorn (link work-unfriendly) reports the 90-minute...

(image via YouTube screenshot)GoFundMe just deleted the campaign of Israel Folau because the crowdfunding website doesn’t like helping homophobic jerks raise money on their platform. Imagine that. Is GoFundMe single? Because we wanna marry it. The former Australian rugby player had reportedly raised $485,234.99 of his $3 million campaign before it was shut down. He had launched the campaign to help pay for his lawsuit against Rugby Australia after the sports authority fired him for making homophobic posts on social media. After...

This is not a shot of the gay bar in questionCheers was the name of a gay bar set to open soon in Minneapolis, Minnesota. But it might never see a single customer now that its owners anti-Semitic social media posts have caused an uproar. Emad Abed, the bar’s owner, had his previous anti-Semitic posts shared online. In them, he claimed that the “Jew-nited States of America” is controlled by “a handful” of “zionist Jews” and that “all the world’s...

One Redditor says he’s “in a pickle” now that the wife of his longtime friend-with-benefits has asked him to quit getting down and dirty with her husband. The Redditor explains that he’s been hooking up with his best friend for around 12 years, and it all started when his friend complained that his wife wouldn’t entertain the idea of giving up oral sex. “As any good, gay friend would do, I offered to step in,” the Redditor writes. “Selfishly, of...

In the week since a gay teenager was fired from his gig as a counselor for a Christian organization’s summer camp, parents have started pulling their kids from the camp in question. 18-year-old Jace Taylor was fired on June 11, days before he was due to start working the summer-long job at Fircreek, one of the camps operated by the Firs Bible and Missionary Conference, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The firing made headlines after Taylor’s father posted about it on Facebook,...

Photo: Bob LeahyWhen Toronto drag queen Jade Elektra, aka HIV positive activist Alphonso King, Jr., stepped to the stage of the 2019 Toronto AIDS Vigil on Tuesday night, she knew she had a message. It wasn’t simply that she would become the first drag performer to sing live at the event. For Jade, it was all about the song itself. And now, that song has become a viral sensation, as it were. Jade simply took the Nat King Cole classic, “Unforgettable,” and made the tiniest...

As a Gen X-er who saw my life in movies like The Breakfast Club and Reality Bites, I’ve gleaned much of my knowledge about guys from the next generation by dating them. In the last dozen or so years, nearly all of my romantic interests have been born between 1983 and 1996, which covers the bulk of the era in which millennials were born. As much as I enjoy the company of gay 20-somethings (and for the record, my dates...

Many individuals of transgender and non-binary experience will no longer be “deadnamed” by the plastic in their wallets: Mastercard is rolling out a “True Name” program in which cardholders can replace their debit, credit, and prepaid cards with ones bearing the name they actually use, and a legal name change isn’t even required. Experts told The Washington Post the program is a first for the financial services industry, and it solves a problem faced by many cardholders. In a 2015...
