Anderson said that when he hugged Sevig, the cashier said, “We can’t have two guys hugging in here.” Anderson told Chicago’s CBS News affiliate, “And then said something to the effect of, ‘If it was a guy and a girl it would be OK, but we can’t allow two boys.’” When the couple and their...

Members of the Men’s Therapeutic Cuddle Group of Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania (an area 30 minutes north of Philadelphia) try to heal each other’s trauma through clothed cuddling sessions. The group has been meeting for over two years and welcomes a range of sexual orientations, according to Philly.com. Scott Turner, the group’s 46-year-old co-founder, says that men are often taught to be stoic. “If you show any emotional weakness or vulnerability, that’s a failure to your title of a man,” Turner...

He has been charged with assault as a hate crime. The attack occurred on a Manhattan-bound E train during evening rush hour on November 30. Police report that Allasheed called his victim a “slur based upon his interpretation of the victim’s sexual orientation” before punching her. More specifically, he allegedly...

Don’t be thrown by the name, “The Farmer Wants A Wife” matches single country folk of all orientations–men seeking men, men seeking women, women seeking women, and everything in between. The dating service launched in Ireland just last year and has already proven to be a huge success. It may soon be expanding across the U.K. The concept is the brainchild of professional matchmaker Mairead Loughman, who tells Farmers Guardian, “After years of matchmaking I realized the main reason people are...

This is quite the turnaround. A man was fired within hours of being offered a job after going on a “drunk, homophobic rant” at his new would-be workplace. Danny Crook of Southhampton, England, had just landed a job at the Mango Thai Tapas Bar & Lounge and was in a mood to celebrate. We’re with you so far, Danny. His first mistake was his celebration venue: his new workplace. It would be his first mistake of many that night. After knocking back drink...

Redditer claims if you don't fit a specific mold, you're not welcome If you don’t fit the typical mold, you’re not welcome in the LGBTI community, claims one Reddit user. Reddit user BBremer283 took to the social media platform to vent his frustrations at what he calls a community of ‘spoiled toddlers.’ ‘As a gay man, I’m frankly embarrassed of the LGBT community,’ he started. ‘I don’t fit the typical “gay” mold.’ He continues: ‘I like to watch basketball, go to the gym,...

Here we go again. Vivica A. Fox is currently plugging her upcoming self-help book “Every Day, I’m Hustling” and–surprise!–she’s talking about her relationship with rapper 50 Cent, which ended 100 years ago, back in 2003. In the book, Vivica calls sex with 50 Cent “cherished and special,” albeit a bit PG-13. “Most of the time, I would be the one initiating sex,” she writes, once again alluding to those rumors she started years ago suggesting that the hip hop artist was gay. Despite...

The return of Queer Eye (sans ‘for the straight guy’) on Netflix has sparked some thoughtful debate about the cultural relevance of this type of programming. We were awfully skeptical about the revamp, but there’s also something about it that strikes an emotionally satisfying chord. It’s also sparked some less-than-thoughtful debate, and that’s what brings us together now. Oddly, it centers around the otherwise-unassuming food guru, Antoni Porowski. Junkee asked this extremely unimportant and amusing question: Can he actually cook? The...

Produced by Watchcut Video, the short film finds...

What would your advice be? It’s the age-old question: does size matter? For the partners of this Reddit user, apparently so. Keen to get his experiences off his chest, the message posted yesterday (29 December 2015) is titled ‘I have been dumped by 6 different guys this year because of my penis’. In it, the writer discusses the cruel treatment he has received from lovers once they’ve see him naked, admitting his sexual encounters have left him feeling suicidal. The post has...

This story has been sent to us by a gay Iranian and his story is nothing short of unmeasurable love and painful sacrifice. I am a gay man living in Iran and this statement should tell you everything you need to know about my life. Our lives. None of the ones living here actually know what free love means. Free love is a fairytale and gay people are not allowed to have it. I have stayed hidden from the world...

Being able to control every aspect of your life and having the right to intimacy and freedom of choice is still an alien concept for many countries, as strange as it may seem. Yes, we are long pass the time when we were burning witches on a stake, but it seems like we still have a long way to go. Being gay is a matter of strong public interest in many countries and while some already accepted the phenomenon,...
