The tracking activity is more ominous, if you read the article to the end. If you are logged into Facebook and you search porn on Google, the specific porn you search is being documented and tracked, along with your IP address. Since most companies outside of porn will never permit porn advertising, it begs the question: why is this data important to record and track, and to whom is it important? Many porn websites are not encrypted. Your computer and all the info on it is extremely vulnerable if you visit these sites. There are laws that protect consumers for violating the privacy of your health records. There are no laws to protect you when you search for porn, which many will argue is as private as your health info. Searcher beware.

I pay very little attention to TMZ, but a business colleague sent me this link on celebrity donations to Pete Buttigieg's campaign. It's interesting to see who in Hollywood is supporting Pete with actual dollars. I have a few friends on the list. Pete Buttigieg 2020 Presidential Campaign Celebrity Donations

In America, White male voters often vote on whether or not they'd like to have a beer with the candidate. With a female candidate, these same voters will ask, "Do I want to fuck her?" Nobody wanted to have sex with Hillary, and she lost. I don't think the same will be true for Ivanka. Oh, to Be Ivanka! Don't miss the comment section. Such fun reading.

If I were down and out, I would want Steven Kesslar's support. We are all human and capable of making misguided decisions at certain points in our lives. Much like Hooboy's review site, I enjoyed Rentboy when it first hit the scene. The coding and user interface were not perfect, but at the time, the site was better than anything else. Then Rentboy decided to upgrade. The business became about maximizing profit to the detriment of the user experience. The new coding was a disaster. Ads were everywhere, and the user experience sucked. With 30 pages of guys, I could never seem to get past page 10 without the software shutting down and revealing its bugs. I remember asking myself, "Where are the profit dollars going?" Up someone's nose? Into someone's ass? They certainly weren't being spent on making the user experience the best it could be. Then, as a favor to an escort, I read Rentboy's TOS for escorts, every word, and I was appalled. There's only one word to sum it all up: GREED. I started to wonder if Hurant actually had contempt for escorts. I advised my escort friend to create his own website and build a reputation by word of mouth.

Very good news for Pete Buttigieg. His formula is working so far. Pete Buttigieg Raises a Stunning $24.8 Million in Second Quarter I'm on my third donation to his campaign. I urge my fellow homos to send his campaign whatever you can afford. Pete is good for America. We need to elevate him as high as we can for as long as we can. https://peteforamerica.com/

I was using the word metaphorically.

Donatella Versace a gay icon? Who the fuck anointed her? As far as I know, Donatella Versace was never in favor of her brother "coming out." If it had been up to her, Gianni would have remained closeted his entire life. And the way she notoriously treated Antonio D'Amico, Gianni's lover for 15 years, is well known among gay friends and fashion industry associates. Donatella Versace is a media whore who will say and do almost anything for publicity. The fact that some idiot anointed her a "gay icon" demonstrates to me how shallow and desperate some in the media are, and how some gay brains are fried from party drugs. If this isn't some lame publicity stunt and Donatella truly wants respect from the gay community, she can start by publicly apologizing to Antonio D'Amico. A public apology to her dead brother would also be fitting.That would be a fair place to start.

All I can say for now: Chuck Todd Sucked!

I thought the "show" was a disaster. The pre-show even more painful. Had to fast-forward through most of it. I'm totally sick of the talking heads, even though I have respect for a few. The media and its race for profit and ratings can be a sickening lot. Their hunger for never-ending sound bites and anything salacious is tiresome. No wonder so many in the body politic hate the media. They often beg to be hated. I'm sick of the "SHOW" aspect of these debates, the over-inflated who-has-the-biggest-dick production value. These debates are nothing more substantial than a beauty pageant. I'd rather watch a town hall with questions from the audience. I'd rather see something that offers real and serious substance. I want to hear more about policy and less about posturing and preening. Chuck Todd needs to be stripped naked and his ass whipped. His question to Tulsi Gabbard about old comments regarding gays was USELESS. A waste of our valuable time. No offense to the Trans community, but I don't want to hear one word about them at these debates. If the Dems set their focus on Trans, or any other sexualized minority groups, they will LOSE against Trump. For sure. I hate the acronym LGBTTQQIAAP. Hate it. That cheesy play on words does not accurately describe me. I don't want to be lumped into some perceived group of wierdos. That said... Elizabeth Warren performed better than I expected. She is still not at the top of her game, but she has improved. Her post-debate interview with Chris Matthews revealed her intimate take on corruption in Washington. If she can hone this message and remain sounding like an ordinary, folksy citizen, she could continue to rise. I'm just not sure she has what it takes to dethrone Trump. Cory Booker had a decent night. But America is not ready for another Black president. Nobody cares about the crack shootings in his Newark neighborhood. Nobody in America cares about Newark except Cory. Julian Castro had a good night, but he WILL NOT be elected president of the United States. Pipe dream. He's way too short and he looks greasy on television with his slicked black hair. Beyond those three, it was a bad night for everyone else. Beto O'Rourke fell very flat. A flat tire. No energy. Speaking long sentences in Spanish will not get you elected president in this country. It's no different than Jon Huntsman speaking Chinese on the debate stage. An erection killer. Beto offered no new words. He was scripted, using stump stuff that loses impact upon constant repeating. Bill de Blasio was obnoxious. He's got his own bully style that's a serious turn off. It's easy to see why most New Yorkers simply don't admire the guy. John Delaney needs to get out. Tulsi Gabbard did not elevate her status. Jay Inslee got the biggest applause, saying that Trump is America's greatest threat. He's got a strong voice on climate change, and we need that. Tim Ryan was useless and bad. Amy Klobuchar puts me to sleep. The tone of her voice is irritating. She has no talent to motivate or inspire people. She comes off like a retired nun running for mayor of a small town.

He is a cutie. Sure hope he has a smart head on his shoulders and experienced mentors advising him. Being known as a young, handsome, "out" gay actor in show business will attract a lot of unwanted attention, especially with lips like his. Sort of like throwing bloody meat into shark-infested water. At least today, you don't have to end up OD'd in some alley off Melrose.

All gay men using Google Chrome to browse the internet should read this article, especially if you use gmail. I'm surprised more isn't being made out of this. Goodbye, Chrome: Google’s web browser has become spy software Not sure if you need a Washington Post membership to view.

Too bad we can't live in the movies.

And the funny thing is, when the emissary wrote, he/she used the same words with the same voice each time, no matter the ad. It was clear to me only one person knew how to write in English, and the writing covered several models with ads. I'm not into the teen/twink look, but I inquired several times out of curiosity.

@mvan1 No snip, but you're still beating a dead horse. You're also missing the point. It does not matter if an investigation ever confirms trafficking. Once you have the full-throated attention of law enforcement -- after you've slapped their faces out of a stupor, publicly calling out their blindness and stupidity -- they have their method of gaining access and doing costly harm. In Hurant's case, they sought revenge. It does not matter. They got their man and they shut his big mouth and they shut down his money. Rentboy and Hurant are over. As for Craigslist, I can't prove there was "trafficking" on their NYC sex pages. However, there were plenty of ads showing photos of young Asian and Russian guys (who looked like boys), and when you answered the ad, you were greeted by an emissary. Very suspicious. I don't doubt the presence of trafficking wherever sex work can be advertised.

And the story finally hits the NY Times' homepage: Veteran writer E. Jean Carroll Accuses Trump of Sexual Assault in Her Memoir

How many more lies must we endure from Donald Trump? When I heard this story, I just knew a photo had to be out there. E. Jean Carroll has been on the scene in NYC for a very long time. Here is Scott Bixby's Twitter feed. And the HuffPost article.

But you are beating it, and your argument is weak. Children aren't the only people being trafficked. All it takes is one young adult, and the party is over. It's no secret, I did not love Rentboy. I did not admire Jeffrey Hurant. I thought he was an awful business owner. "Unabashedly in your face" is an understatement. He was begging and bating conservative lawmakers to investigate and dig deeper with the most flagrant ad campaigns a pimp and peddler could muster. If your profit dollars give you cheap and cocky confidence, and you want to shove your arrogance and hubris in the face of lawmakers, then you need to eat the cake you baked. Why should Jeffrey Hurant not be treated like Paul Manafort? Once an investigation is opened (even under the guise of trafficking), tax evasion and money laundering automatically get thrown on the table. They got him. Hurant is solely responsible for the mess he found himself in. He was greedy, selfish, and cocky. He did not protect his employees or his escorts who were supporting his website with monthly payments. I never understood why many in the gay community looked up to this guy and wished to place him on some undeserving throne. A lot of people don't think much of themselves.

Let us never forget that Bill Clinton signed DOMA and made it law. Thank God it was struck down. Thank God people evolve. I want it legal, taxed, and regulated. Sex workers need to have their health status certified on a reasonable schedule. Regulation has the ability to save many lives and help to control the addicted. Some people in the sex business are their own worst enemy. Sex trafficking is a serious issue that spoils a lot of fun for our community. I hate that it somehow gets linked to us. I don't know anyone who supports sex trafficking of any kind. Unfortunately, there are foreign players in the trafficking arena, truly nefarious creatures, who took full advantage of websites like Craigslist. I'm not happy CL is gone, however. CL was the easiest way to meet adult couples who enjoy fucking with a third party watching. This is one of my favorite fetishes and the closing of CL has made voyeurism more difficult to coordinate.

I have respect for certain conservative writers/speakers. I always have. I don't pay attention to anything her father has to say. Have never heard that fat-faced asshole speak. I've only heard about him, and that's enough for me.

Rumor has it she has her up-browed eye on the Governor's mansion in Arkansas. I can't see any reason why she wouldn't get it.

In honor of the deceit and fake news that she peddles, I thought I'd have a little fun with this brilliant Sarah photo that Doug Mills captured. I attempt to show the true Sarah.

Smug, condescending, and c.u.n.t.y. Elitism is on both sides. And this bitch is living proof how ugly it can be.

Boy have I got a guy for you. I think I know your type. And, yes, we're on for lunch.

No one has EVER used the term "waspy" to describe me. It's just not my look. In fact, I rarely can stomach British, upper-crust, Polo-playing males, even when they're drop-dead gorgeous. I have my own sense of style. I've always understood fashion, even when it's anti-fashion. I've worked with some of the most talented fashion stylists in the industry for three decades. I went to a film studio lighting seminar this past February. Upon entering and being greeted by the lighting manufacturer's host, he told me a special waiting area had been set up for me. I looked at him with a questioning face and asked why would you do that? He then apologized and said, "I thought you were the director." He had never seen or met me before. I used to write over at Daddy's about my experiences at the now defunct Gaiety strip club in Times Square. I was much younger then, but escorts always told me I was tagged as an undercover cop. It took some brave escorts to begin a conversation with me. Once I convinced them that I wasn't a cop, all went well. I've done jury duty a few times on drug cases. When I saw how some of NYC's undercover cops look and dress, things sort of clicked, and I understood the escort's reactions to me.

Fair question. I don't really know. I wish I did. I don't have a calculated presentation. It's something strangers (some escorts) have shared with me through the years. I've tried to get strangers to clarify, but all I get is "I don't know, it's just a vibe." Not very helpful. I often work with the 1%. While people are individuals, there is a certain confidence and assertiveness that wealthy people share. Ostentation is pretentious and vulgar, a characteristic associated with a faker and pretender. That's not at all what I was talking about here. In public, I work hard to be extremely discreet. I like to stay hidden, be part of the background. But my attempt is often a joke. I stand out, and that's the way it is.
