I absolutely hate to say it, but we're in a post-Trump/maga world now. More and more people are saying things out loud that have long been considered nasty and/or inappropriate. Sadly, it's impossible to put that cat back into the bag. She's out and proud, and more ignorant and arrogant than ever. What was once a quiet curiosity is now an in-your-face prejudice, intended to provoke a reaction, usually negative. I call it a social power-play, for desperately unhappy, unsatisfied people. We have no choice now but to always be on-guard, especially when you travel. The crazy airline stories we hear about now are completely out of control. This thread reminds me of an episode I had with a longtime neighbor. We are not close friends, but for decades, I've been friendly with her. She's a smart, cool, hippy-ish, native New Yorker, a bit older than me. One summer, our building doorman was on vacation, and management hired a young, gay, Latino twink type to stand in. He absolutely looked like he might have been eighteen years old, fresh out of high school. He was adorable. I'll call him Louis. Louis had terrific gaydar, and expertly charmed his way into my focus. He was an extremely good doorman, which will always catch my attention, but he was also very funny and flirtatious with me. I love funny, flirtatious men, gay or straight, so an instant bond had been created. One evening, Louis and I were talking in the lobby about his life, and my neighbor appeared from the elevator. She saw me and sat down next to me to chat. She had a few minutes to observe my interactions with Louis, who never ended his flirtatious flitting. At one quiet point she turned to me and whispered, "Is Louis your type?" I was aghast. It suddenly dawned on me, after knowing this woman for almost thirty years, we never had a conversation about my being gay. She knew almost nothing about that side of my life. I was horrified that she might think I was sexually turned on by young twinks, young enough to be my grandson. I responded, "Absolutely not. However, I do love being in the presence of promising young people. I try to work with young people all the time, because I enjoy their company. Louis is a special charmer. I would hire him." I'm not sure she was satisfied with that answer. She witnessed our unique "gay" chemistry, and I'm sure she imagined us in some daddy-fetish porn scene, and couldn't escape that image in her head. Here I was being completely honest with her about a personal subject that was none of her business. And without mentioning anything sexual, I tried to convey that I'm not sexually attracted to very young men, and I hate the idea of having a type. I felt hopeless in the moment, because no matter how careful my words, I was going to sound defensive, which would make me sound as though I might be lying. The awkwardness of that moment stayed with me for a very long time. That is why I said earlier, you can NEVER totally control what others might think about you. The mind can be a crazy thing, and sometimes you will be challenged to think on your feet.

Tackiness, rudeness, and arrogance runs deep in the gay community, especially in "gay bars." Oftentimes, it comes extremely LOUD. That might explain why I haven't been in a "gay bar" in years. In a place like NYC, where gays are everywhere, there are SO MANY elegant, comfortable places to have a drink. One doesn't have to subject himself to uneducated, unsophisticated, or worse, drunk gays. When it comes to enjoying a great cocktail, I'm a total snob.

Dark-haired guys are not normally my thing, but I would't mind a play session with this designer. He's got a super-tight body, not too bulky, and what looks like a beautiful cock and ass. Would love to sniff his pits. Not much info on him, except I think he may be in Ireland. The underwear looks kinda fun, except I prefer to hang free. I love the way he's letting his entrepreneurial flag fly. I believe the product is only available on Amazon. Welcome to the new gig economy.

The "gays" on the list are fascinating. The party was in 1966, and Stonewall didn't happen until 1969. Not many, if any, were out of the closet in 1966. How convenient (and devious) to make it a masked party. Candace Bergen shares a fashion tidbit from the party. She ended up wearing Halston's white mink bunny mask that was intended for Marisa Berenson, who decided to wear something else.

If I had a dollar for every clothing offense I encountered on a daily basis, I'd be swimming in Bezos money. I get that I live in NYC, where you see EVERYTHING. But the way some people leave their homes and step onto the street, especially young women, boggles my mind. My son loves bouncing, perky titties, but even he questions the value of dressing half-naked on a street with horny vultures at every corner. I'm surprised the rape numbers aren't higher.

I had done some research. But I make it a rule not to believe everything I read, until I speak to a proper source. I do not know Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel personally. I do not pay much attention to QAnon. The basic story presented in the movie is based on documented fact. Had I suspected any other wackiness being involved, I would have trashed the film. I was in a taxi accident. There was no evidence of bruising at the time. I got the impression there was an ER mandate to ask the question. I did not feel offended, even though personally I thought the question was ridiculous, knowing that my son is incredibly loving towards me and very protective. I did not let a knee-jerk reaction enter the situation. My son is tall, with thick, dark hair. He looks nothing like me. He has a baby face, which is why no one can guess his age correctly. We get certain looks in certain situations. People have no clue what our relationship is, and there was a time when those crooked faces of wonder bothered me. But no more. Fuck 'em.

Just a note: I have my share of young people (college age) surrounding me when I work. Sometimes, we are in luxury hotels and airport hotels. Many of the male interns are straight (I don't always know for sure), and some are very handsome and young looking. Even my son is handsome and young looking, and we are often together, sharing the same room (he's straight, and most people don't think we are related). On occasion, I have noticed some people looking at me(us) with questioning eyes. My son has been carded, but nothing more. One time, in a hospital emergency room, a nurse asked me if my son was hurting me at home. I was a bit stunned by the question, and I responded, "Does that sweet, loving face look angry to you?," as I pointed his way. "Sorry, we have to ask." she answered. For some reason, Sound of Freedom is a controversial film, probably something to do with Christian funding. The movie is based on Tim Ballard's story, who was a U.S. government agent, working on child sex trafficking cases. His secret trip to Columbia is covered in the film. It's not an easy film to watch, but I recommend it. It's difficult for me to believe that such extreme evil exists in our world, but it does. We need to be aware.

Trafficking in minors is a hot issue right now, especially in Los Angeles. As far as I'm concerned, we should all be concerned about the issue, and do our part to crush the problem. I suggest you put your hurt pride on the table, and consider the greater good. Of course it's not fun to be profiled in any way, no matter what the situation is. Most of us have been there in one way or another. I find it best not to take these things too personally. There is NO WAY to control how other people see us. I am continually shocked, now that I am sixty, how strangers treat me. Just had an incident yesterday that I won't go into. I let the kid slide. His day is coming.

Given all the hoopla over Ryan Murphy's new show, I thought readers might find the original guest list an interesting read. Shockingly, it was published in The New York Times at the time. You may need to drag the file to your desktop to see it in-full. Not sure how the UI will handle the file. (Follow-up: It seems all you have to do is click on the image, and the enlarged version will appear.)

https://playbill.com/article/three-time-tony-winner-hinton-battle-dies-at-67 Hinton Battle and I go way back. I was nearly a baby when I first met him during his Wiz years. We worked together on several projects through the years, and he was always generous with his introductions. I probably know more about him than I should. He was an intimate guest in my home on several occasions. I'm going to save most of what I know for my memoir. Details you won't find coming from Debbie Allen. Hinton was multi-talented, but he led a complicated life. He was guarded and secretive, which made it difficult to get and stay close. I hope and pray he has found peace.

I think it's quite fabulous that maga is going APE-SHIT over Taylor Swift. Utterly ape-shit. Their obnoxious behavior easily reveals their fear and insecurity about the upcoming election. Swift fans are FAR MORE DANGEROUS than Trump's limp-dicked maga-pussies, and her numbers truly are staggering FACT. The biggest laugh for me is when Trump-cunt Jeanine Piro publicly told (begged) Taylor Swift to "stay out of politics!" As if Taylor Swift gives a rat's ass what Jeanine Piro thinks or says. These maga culitists are OUT OF THEIR MIND. Totally deluded. Sadly, Grandpa Biden will need as much Gen Z help as he can muster, and Taylor Swift is the perfect advocate for supporting democracy. She doesn't need any more money, but I would happily pay her in exchange for her very vocal support. Politics is the last thing Gen Z thinks about, and in America, where "old" is a curse, Taylor could crack the whip, and teach these brain dead kids an important lesson on WISDOM and EXPERIENCE.

Utterly incompetent lawyer, Alina Habba, flaunts her Trump balls one more time. Can't wait to see what Judge Lewis Kaplan does with this one.

Better yet, Biden should just have Trump "cancelled," and then blame it on Trump's "absolute immunity" argument. That would be a GREAT day for me.

Had I gone to college with Tommy, and found my way to a friendship with him, I don't see how I would have been able to avoid falling in love with him. Even though I have little patience for fidgets, I feel the same about John Favreau. LOL. I've been away, so I had to make up for lost time. Pleased to see you are still going strong.

There is only ONE BOARD owner who has the guts to write this: "Is it wrong as a board owner to just fucking ban anyone who supports Trump as they often bring down the intelligence level of the board?" I believe racism is at the heart of the Fascist maga movement, and there has always been the stench of racism lingering on the other board. I never knew Bill's true feelings on the subject, but it seemed to me he had much tolerance for questionable speech. Bill was a terrible moderator, and I had serious questions about his political leanings. I did not trust him. Unless you're a gay billionaire asshole, like Peter Thiel, who will do anything for his precious tax cuts, I never could understand or accept middle-class gay men wanting to be associated with a Party that hates gays. The simple concept is way too self-hating for me. There are plenty of Republicans on the other board, and in order to appease them and their continuing closet cases, it's difficult to see how a Politics Forum could be managed there.

For decades, I have preached my intolerance for liars. Several assholes from the other site enjoyed calling me one for years to troll me. The problem with being a chronic liar, which maga and Trump are, you CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. And, you prove to the world that you have NO SHAME. Maga was hellbent on "locking up" Hillary, yet, even with endless hatred and determination, there wasn't a court in America able to charge her with any crimes. Now that America and the maga Party are faced with a true criminal, maga wants to deny the facts and make excuses, because Trump, the true criminal, is their guy. The hypocrisy is astounding, and normal voters are seeing the BULLSHIT for what it is. If you make LIES and HYPOCRISY your game in politics, voters eventually wise up and reject you. The diehard cult members are lost forever. The Republican Party as we knew it is finished, at least for now. Conservatism is a joke (except in the Supreme Court), because most have proven they are corrupt for power (especially in the Supreme Court). Donald Trump was NEVER a conservative, but they know he can get the most votes as a fake conservative, so they're willing to turn a blind eye, especially for the courts. Evangelicals are a laughing stock because they chose the devil as their leader. Rick Wilson said it best: "Everything Trump touches dies." The trail of dead bodies and seriously damaged souls is piling up. His remaining days are numbered.

Not only is it NOT WRONG, I would highly recommend it, until further notice. These are NOT normal times, and nobody should pretend otherwise. Mainstream media is FAILING us. In normal times, I invited opposing, intelligent, respectful, political debate. For decades, I was a loyal contributor to PBS's The News Hour, a committed watcher of Jim Lehrer, Gwen Iffil, Mark Shields, and others. The News Hour was one of the few news sources on TV who offered opposing debate in a civil, respectable manner. Today, in a Trump/maga world, one has to be VERY CAREFUL when trying to find reliable news sources, otherwise known as the truth. Trump and his minions are SERIAL LIARS. They compile lie upon lie, continually feeding the Fascist cult movement that chooses to live in their ignorant and racist bubble. The RACISTS have complete support from the Fox (and others) eco chamber. It's never been more us-versus-them, with maga (and Putin) begging for another civil war. I made the decision last year to end any and all association with Trump supporters, especially anything to do with money. That means, most of my Midwest family are now gone, properly excommunicated from my life. You can't talk or reason with cult members. Either they drink the poison that ultimately ends their lives, or they face a long and scary process of deprogramming. Trump is facing 91 criminal indictments. There was a time when only one would kill a campaign for president. These are not normal times. The magas in Congress DO NOT WANT a border deal, because they NEED the issue to run on, and they'd rather hurt more human lives because of perceived political "wins." How do you define evil? In a court of law, to nine jurors who went through voir dire with the highly respected Judge Lewis Kaplan, Alina Habba actually argued that E. Jean Carroll got what she wanted from her association (the rape) with Donald Trump. She acquired fame. How evil does a U.S. lawyer need to be to make such an argument in a U.S. court of law? The jury voted that degree of evil is worth about 83 million. Maga is a dangerous CANCER. If we are not careful, if we are not diligent, we risk losing EVERYTHING to Fascism, especially the rule of law. Trump called Robbie Kaplan a CUNT in code during a deposition. For more on the future ACN case that Robbie Kaplan is pursuing against Trump, here is a fascinating interview with Robbie by former Republican Tim Miller: For most legal discussion of Trump's cases, I now rely on Legal AF. Lawyers Ben Meiselas, Michael Popok, and Karen Friedman Agnifilo (former #2 to Cy Vance in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office) know how to explain complex legal matters to non-lawyers: I'm a big John Favreau, Tommy Vietor, and Dan Pfeiffer fan, so I try never to miss a Pod Save America episode. Here is their most recent discussion with Liz Cheney: America is worth saving. Let's put an end to the Trump cult. It's democracy or Fascism. I vote democracy: Joe Biden 2024! Tell maga to go fuck themselves.

I don't know how long this is going to last on YouTube, since it just went up today. I have never seen anything quite like this during an underwear try-on, and given how the guy can't keep his hands off his junk, I don't see this video being long for the world. However, if you can get away with it, what a terrific way to promote your OnlyFans channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= (paste PaOnLVx1Y0o after the = sign to get the link to work) Hopefully you can see it before it disappears.

My other new boyfriend: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ (paste B1axUy-TWlk after the backslash to see) I love a guy who lets the water do all the work. When it comes to pool-play, I'm a total SUCKER. We had several pools in my childhood home, from age 4 to 19, and some of my fondest sexual, coming-of-age memories were experienced at or in a pool of sparkling clean water. My parents thought the height of luxury was a heated pool, so I was able to enjoy that before moving to NYC (and many years later during family visits). There's a very good reason why everyone loves when the escorts get naked and stand around in the pool at the Palm Springs Hooboy Event (or so I hear). Hot, naked men are always fun to watch, but get them wet, and the sexy meter goes through the roof. A lot of the amateur videos on NewTumbl were snippets from OnlyFans or JustForFans. And many of those sex events happened in or around water. I'm sure many videos qualified as stolen content, but numerous smart guys found NT a great way to advertise their pay-channels. What smart gay guy wants to cough up the credit card, and jump through the sign-up hoops, before sampling the goods? NT provided the right venue to offer a tease, and many of those teases worked. I'm sorry to see them go. I know I'm going to miss my daily dose.

Yes, that's him. But I decided to show maximum respect for Oz's x-photo-verification policy. The guy may not be naked, but he's clearly erect. It's been awhile since I posted here, so maybe the "rules" have relaxed. Whatever. I'm too disinterested to dig further.

My newest boyfriend: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ (if you add HTuI4HzlIwM after the backslash, you should get the link to work. If it fails, that probably means the video got deleted). It is AMAZING to me the number of young men and women who are using YouTube to sexually titillate an audience. There are a huge number of videos on YouTube that are sneaking in and bypassing the moderation algorithm, especially in Shorts. Even more shocking to me, the number of young male Muslims in Muslim countries using YouTube to show off their hefty, Middle Eastern endowments. Some of the "tubewell" videos out of Pakistan are extremely revealing. Clearly, many of these men are of questionable age, showing off their erections under wet, white cotton fabric, and offering their WhatsApp number. They don't speak a word of English, but they seem to know what callers want. They have discovered that sex sells, and probably does better than opium.

This is true. Not just still photographs, but videos as well. I found most were fascinating to see. A small amount of material could be labeled disturbing, with a questionable purpose. It never lasted very long on the site. I'm a bit on the liberal side when it comes to defining "inappropriate." Way too many people in America get hysterical about certain "taboos." The religious right in America is mostly about CONTROL. They desire to control your behavior, while they remain free to do as they wish. Total hypocrites, who should go fuck themselves. I remember well my early teen years. I remember many early encounters, throughout puberty, with guys over 18. Many horny, equally curious cousins. It felt perfectly natural to me to explore my sexual feelings, curiosities, and basic knowledge with guys who were older and more experienced. I valued the lessons I learned. These lessons helped me become a better man. Don't get me wrong, I know the difference between good and evil intent. And I know that some lines should never be crossed. But I don't like hard barriers or religious, control-freak zealots, attempting to control my behavior. Some laws go too far, and deserve to be questioned. Moderation is not easy, especially good moderation. Ask Oz. And when defending against potential lawsuits, it can get very expensive. I don't know any facts from the inside, but it seems moderation was not the problem. Deletions were constant. Always complaints about photos and videos being deleted, often for no apparent reason. Certainly no reason provided to users. As always, it seems the main problem was money. Not enough users, not enough ad revenue. This surprised me. Although the lack of money did at times affect the user-interface, the site almost always worked for me. However, I am on newer Apple hardware. What always surprised me most was the ultra-modern content, not seen for free anywhere else. Much of the video content was created with the latest technology. Some of the amateur porn looked utterly amazing. And many of the guys were hot, hot, hot. There seem to be an endless supply of young men around the world who love to film themselves while giving themselves sexual pleasure. What a wonderful thing. This visual education should be rejoiced. A healthy sex life is very important. Every aspect of education is worth something.

I totally disagree.

What a disappointment. My sex life will be changed forever. There wasn't a better resource for fabulous samples of amateur work. Not only that, NewTumbl offered video snippets from sources you could not find anywhere else in the world. I'm sure plenty of those videos were illegal, but what great advertising nonetheless. It seems it's all gone, as of today. The death of NewTumbl.com. I hate the state of porn in America these days. Too many Republican hypocrites addicted to power and control. Everyone needs to vote these assholes out. It's the only fix.

OMG! What fun those tweets are! The mother-fucking Fascists deserve to blow their heads off with their own guns over the news. Let the fuckers take to the streets and start shooting. Let them end up in jail where they all belong. I can't believe any gay man on this board would say something so utterly ignorant.
