• A new report from Essex University seems to say that if your ring finger is longer than your index finger, it could indicate you’re gay. Not sure I believe that…

• Non-binary singer/songwriter Grayson has released their new single, “Brother.” The track is a personal anthem about needing to break free from both internal and external pressures.

“‘Brother’ is about the sometimes chaotic relationship with yourself, and everyone else,” says Grayson.

Grayson is new to me, so let’s check out “Brother.”

Dan Welden

Some news items you might have missed:

• Fresh from the barber, that fierce fade on NYC trainer and InstaHunk Dan Welden. #ReadyForTheWeekend #woof

• More legal woes for Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey as authorities in Los Angeles County are now looking into a second set of sexual misconduct allegations.

• Indicted on charges of misuse of campaign funds (to an incredible degree), GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter found himself on the receiving side of “Lock him up!” chants as he reported to the federal courthouse in San Diego yesterday. Hunter was the second member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump for president. #BirdsOfaFeather?

• While Donald Trump’s former campaign chair was found guilty of 8 felony counts, it turns out just one pro-Trump juror kept Paul Manafort from being found guilty on the other 10 counts.

• Speaking of Manafort, I’ve been saying for months he’s expected a presidential pardon from Trump. The Washington Post is reporting Trump asked about a pardon for Manafort weeks ago, but they told him to chill for a bit until political times were better.

• I know we’re only 8 months through 2018, but I’m still eyeing out recording artist Starley’s “Love Is Love” as one of my top tracks of the year.

Check out the freshly released music video for the uber-talented singer/songwriter below. I previously wrote about Starley and the top pop tune here.

I just love this.

• The Supreme Court of India is considering decriminalizing gay sex.

• A Kansas City radio station is throwing anti-LBGTQ Vice President Mike Pence a “sausage fest” as he visits their city. LOL…

• The mother of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter was told by mental health counselors he shouldn’t have access to guns. She ignored them saying “If he wants to have a gun, he could have a gun.”

• Thailand’s lawmakers are putting the finishing touches to their civil partnerships bill.

• The Human Rights Campaign vigorously opposes Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh:

“This nominee was hand-picked by anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice groups in an explicit effort to undermine equality — and the prospect of a Justice Kavanaugh threatens to erode our nation’s civil rights laws, block transgender troops from bravely serving this nation and allow a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people in every aspect of American life.”

Additionally, all toilets and dressing rooms will be adapted so that there are accessible options for all athletes and spectators, regardless of their gender identity, including gender neutral toilets where possible.

• The Flash star Keiynan Lonsdale got trolled on Twitter recently for wearing a dress to the MTV Awards earlier this month where he snagged the award for “Best Kiss” for his liplock with Nick Robinson in Love, Simon.

But Lonsdale handled the homophobe with style, and shared one of the benefits of his sartorial choices: “Allows the balls to breathe and therefore will chill ya out.”

• What to watch this weekend? The critics are raving about the new Hugh Grant BBC mini-series, A Very English Scandal. Starting today the 3-part series is available on Amazon, and according to the reviews, it’s fantastic.

Michael B. Jordan Is Giving You Body In New ‘Creed II’ Poster

Michael B. Jordan in ‘Creed II’

Hot on the heels of winning ‘Best Villain’ at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend for his turn in the mega-hit super-hero movie, Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan is giving you ‘bah-dee’ on the newly released poster for the upcoming Creed II.

We have to wait until Thanksgiving for the 31-year-old to once again put his stacked AF body on display in boxing trunks when returns to his critically acclaimed role as boxer “Adonis Creed.”

The official artwork, trailer and synopsis were just released for the sequel which hits theaters November 21.

In the new film, Adonis seems determined to avenge the death of his father, Apollo Creed, by taking on the son of Ivan Drago (played by Dolph Lundgren) who killed Adonis’ father in a charity fight years ago.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what’s worth fighting for, and discover that nothing’s more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape your history.

Returning for the highly-anticipated sequel are Tessa Thompson as Adonis’ girlfriend, Bianco and Sylvester Stallone, who was nominated for an Academy Award and took home a Golden Globe Award for his return as “Rocky Balboa.”

Newcomer Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu joins the franchise as Drago’s son, Viktor Drago.

Watch the trailer below as well as snaps from Big Nasty’s big and brawny Instagram:

InstaHunk Round-Up

It’s the first weekend in June (Pride Month) which makes this a holiday weekend in my book! Here’s some eye-candy to enjoy this gorgeous Saturday. Let’s kick off with Petr Hollesch, who’s Czech like me, hanging out in his backyard like me, gay like me… and that might be where our similarities end 🙂 Happy Pride, folks!

And how about the cutest gay couples on Instagram finally meeting? Justin and Nick meet PJ and Thomas. Awww… 🙂

Happy Pride month everyone! We kicked it off yesterday by finally meeting our friends @justinickpgh in real life (after 3+ years of being friends on Insta) and we couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate. Growing up, we all felt kind of different didn’t we? Like we couldn’t relate to the people around us because they didn’t understand and they weren’t gay. Now that we’re older, we realize the importance of having gone through those scary years and the freedom in celebrating who we are as flawed, queer men who want the same things that everyone wants: love, acceptance, and to make connections with those around us. Queerness comes in so many different forms and backgrounds, like pretending the Barbies you bought when you were younger were for your sister so no one would make fun of you, or quitting ballet and playing basketball instead so people wouldn’t get suspicious. This month is for all of us: out and proud or still in the closet, the people who fought and paved the way to get to where we are today and the people who will continue to fight for the future. Let’s do this y’all! #pridemonth #lgbtq #pride #lgbtqia
