InstaHunk Round-Up: Heat Wave Edition

Paleontologist Francesc Gascó

There’s a heat wave spreading across the U.S., and according to weather.com, it looks like we won’t be seeing any relief until early next week.

We figure if it’s going to be hot, let’s enjoy it. So we’re checking in on some of our favorite celebs and InstaHunks to see what they’re doing to beat the heat.

Paleontologist Francesc Gascó (above) took one look out the window and said, “Nope, not gonna do it.”

Ignacio Pérez Rey says the answer is cold showers. Lots and lots of cold showers.

International pop star Ricky Martin is actually turning UP the heat, and not in the way we’re used to. Martin has been down in Puerto Rico helping fire up protesters who are raising their voices in response to leaked homophobic and sexist text messages between Gov. Ricardo Rosselló and his associates.

Woofy Joe Blizzard describes himself as “a bit of a nerd, introverted and shy…” Uh-huh.

Brazilian travel blogger Rodiney Santiago is all smiles at Manhattan Beach in California.

Live your life, do what YOU want, not what everyone expects you to do or be. I don’t live my life to please the haters, I live my life to please myself, the people who love and support me. What’s important to me is not others opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself . I take my conscience more serious than my reputation, because my conscience is who I am and my reputation is what people think of ME. And what the others think is their problem. Just smile and try your best To be in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, because it reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. #rodineysantiago #smile #beach #beachworkout #rodineymotivation photo by 📸 @alfiecinematic

DJ Thiago Oliveira (Daddy Wolf) had enough of the heat (he was in Hell’s Kitchen, so there you go…)

Rick and the Griffopotamus are out on Lake Lanier in Georgia in a stare-down with the sun. “Lookin at the sun like, ‘Damn, sis. You extra fiery today. Why you so lit?’”

News Round-Up: July 18, 2019

Rugby legend and LGBTQ ally Ben Cohen

Some news items you might have missed:

• InstaHunks: LGBTQ ally Ben Cohen is inviting supporters of his anti-bullying foundation to come out and join him for cross-training. I’ll go, but only if I can follow Ben 🙂

• New York Times: A federal judge on Thursday denied bail for Jeffrey Epstein, the financier facing sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan, rejecting his request to await trial under home detention at his Upper East Side mansion.

• NPR: Some of Puerto Rico’s biggest stars rallied a crowd of many thousands in San Juan on Wednesday, calling on the island’s governor, Ricardo Rosselló, to resign. It was the fifth day in a row of protests in the U.S. territory, following a leak of hundreds of pages of misogynistic and homophobic texts between the governor and his main advisers.

• Washington Post: The House passed a bill by a vote of 231-199 that would raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade. However, don’t expect the legislation to be taken up in the Republican-controlled Senate.

• AFP News: Donald Trump asked Nobel laureate Nadia Murad how she won the Nobel Peace Prize after she explained how she won the Nobel Prize. Murad survived in the aftermath of her mother and six brothers being killed by ISIS and that 3,000 Yazidis remained missing. Trump asked, “And you had the Nobel Prize? That’s incredible. They gave it to you for what reason?” Murad paused, then repeated her story.

• The Lion King: Check out Beyoncé’s musical contribution to the upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s The Lion King.

Titled “Spirit,” I find the video gorgeous. I’m on the fence about the melody. Let me know what you think.

InstaHunk Round-Up: Video Edition

Eliad Cohen celebrates Pride in Sao Paulo

Mixing things up on this fine Sunday, I thought I’d do an entire post of InstaHunks’ video posts.

First up, Eliad Cohen (above and below) checks in from the massive party that is Sao Paulo Pride.

Nyle DiMarco was honored with the Alan Turing award for LGBTIQ Visibility award. Click to the second frame to watch his acceptance speech:

News Round-Up: June 19, 2019

Chippendales ‘take a Tebow’
Some news items you might have missed: • That time the men of Chippendales (above) “took a Tebow” during a photo shoot. I think I know who did it better 🙂 • A new Hill/YouGov poll shows only 24% of Americans approve of the Trump administration’s handling of LGBTQ rights. • In 1989, with no real knowledge of the case, Donald Trump took out a full page ad calling for the execution of the five men accused in the ‘Central Park Jogger’ case where a woman was raped and assaulted. The five men were convicted and sent to prison only to be exonerated by DNA evidence. White House reporter April Ryan asked the Trumpster if he ever felt like apologizing for demonizing the black men. The answer was predictable.

• A new study by Pew Research shows bisexual adults are less likely to come out to important people in their lives than gays or lesbians. • In the middle of Pride month, the U.S. Senate confirmed another anti-LGBTI Trump judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, to a lifetime appointment to the federal bench in the Northern District of Texas with a 52-46 vote. • In a 243-183 vote, the Democratic-controlled House passed an amendment to the $1 trillion Defense spending bill that prohibits Donald Trump’s transgender military ban from being funded. • Check out the new music video from Lucy & La Mer, “Blue Dress,” about discovering one’s bisexuality and the “lightbulb” crush that begins bisexual exploration. I liked the quirky, folky, fun aesthetic. “I wrote the song right after a first date — last year, actually — just reflecting on that initial lightbulb experience about being curious and attracted to another gender than you thought you were,” Lucy told Billboard. “I wanted it to be something that was positive and energetic, not so serious or tortured or anything like that.”

Some news items you might have missed:

• InstaHunk The Griffopotamous (above) is feeling fruity and fabulous this gorgeous Monday.

• The valedictorian for the 2019 Sheboygan Lutheran High School senior class says administrators banned him from speaking at commencement because he mentioned being gay in a draft of the speech.

• A federal grand jury charged a pair of Dallas men with conspiracy to commit hate crimes, kidnapping and carjacking. According to the 15-count indictment, suspects used the gay dating app Grindr to create fake profiles and pose as gay men interested in “dates” to lure gay men to an apartment complex in Dallas in order to commit violent crimes against them.

• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the first British Royals to ‘proudly’ celebrate Pride Month on social media.

• A Roman Catholic bishop who admitted last year to being “aware of incidents of sexual abuse” in the church but did nothing to stop them, warns Catholics that LGBTQ Pride Month is “harmful for children.”

• A former West Virginia Republican official who called Michelle Obama an “ape in heels” has been sentenced to 10 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to embezzling $18,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), funds that were intended to help flood victims.

• Don’t look now but there are more naked selfies by former Congressman Aaron Schock circulating the inter webs. Whatever you do, don’t click here.

News Round-Up: May 22, 2019

Some news items you might have missed:

• Well, hello newly-discovered InstaHunk Jefferson Ferreira. Aren’t you just a heaping helping of furry goodness…? #woof

• The U.S. federal government has settled a lawsuit for $750,000 with a gay inmate who was threatened by another prisoner over his sexual orientation. Instead of intervening, officials moved the gay inmate into his bully’s cell where the aggressor followed through on his promises to repeatedly beat and rape the gay inmate.

• Adult entertainment site XTube surveyed over 3,000 gay and bisexual men about what fetishes turn them on the most. Ranked number one was ‘partialism’, also known as a fetish for a particular part of the body like feet or a hairy chest. Some studies have shown folks who engage in kink are more likely to have positive mental health.

• Out talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has inked a deal to keep her titular chat-fest going three more years taking her through the 2022 season.

• The Trump administration is proposing a rule change to gut protections for transgender people seeking to stay at federally funded homeless shelters.

• The latest music video from Madonna – her collaboration with Swae Lee, “Crave,” from her upcoming album Madame X.

I like the song. Hit play below…
