An exchange about same sex marriage
Elisabeth Sandlund, editor of the Swedish Christian newspaper ‘Dagen’: I cannot find a single word in the Bible, supporting the idea of same sex marriage.
K G Hammar, former Arch Bishop of the Church of Sweden, the largest Lutheran church in the world: True, but at the same time you will find hundreds of passages supporting the idea that women shouldn't express their opinions in public, so if I were you, I'd use quotes from the Bible far more cautiously.

Gay Men’s Body Image: Near 50 Percent Would Sacrifice 1 Year Of Their Lives For The Perfect Body, Survey Finds
Exactly how far would you go for cast-iron pecs or the perfect six-pack?
Indeed, gay men have been stereotypically cast as gym bunnies by popular culture for some time, but a new British poll has now revealed a slightly more disturbing fact about that population’s fractured...

Find the full article here:

According to his opinion piece in the Advocate, Asians are generally regarded as the bottom of the race-attraction hierarchy, usually rejected with non-race-related groups such as “fats” or “femmes”. It’s also entertaining to see the...

Gayasian American: A minority within a minority
Gayasian American: A minority within a minority
Gay and Asian. For some, it’s like being a minority within another minority. “I think it amplified the feeling that we were different,” Andrew Hamano said. “Adding on now that I was gay and Asian – at least I could hide being gay whereas you couldn’t hide being Asian.”
For others, it meant confronting the cultural stigmas within...

WatchGay BFFs of ‘The Real Housewives’: That’s Gay

Does Pride still matter?
Does Pride still matter?
Pride has come a long way from its conception in the Fall of 1969, when a group of organizers from New York City drafted a resolution for a demonstration the following June. The event would honor the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a violent clash between patrons of a gay bar and New York police earlier that year.
Ellen Broidy, a young lesbian activist in her...

Pride on a budget for the young, queer and broke
The economy sucks. Your job doesn’t pay what it did, and gas prices – yikes. They say the rich are getting richer, but in your little gay universe you’ll do whatever it takes to get a deal this Pride weekend and still have fun.
Here are 10 ways to make up for the “sick days” you’re taking from work for Pride and still make next month’s rent.

The Real Reason Gay Men Don’t Get Fat
The Real Reason Gay Men Don’t Get Fat
Brian Moylan — New York gay about town and Barneys creative director Simon Doonan just sold a manuscript for a diet book called Gay Men Don’t Get Fat. While this is true, the real reason why gay men don’t get fat might not be the most marketable message.
I’m a little upset at myself that I didn’t think of this idea first....

WatchThat’s Gay - The Gay Caveman
Coming out of the closet is so last week. The new hot media trend is “outing” 5,000-year-old skeletons from the apparent sexual confusion of their caves. But does the story of the so-called “Gay Caveman” hold up? Bryan Safi hunts (for the truth) and gathers (gay-themed prehistoric puns) in this week’s “That’s...

Gay Fat = Regular Skinny
I was kind of inspired by @brybryespino’s video on guys’ views body image which you can watch here.
Let’s not even pretend that it isn’t true, gay men are highly judgmental. And we can get away with it because it can just be passed off as being sassy. We constantly judge each other on so many things.
One of the biggest thing we judge each other on though is body type....
