What happens when you try to stage a gay massage demonstration in the window of a New York City sex shop? Apparently, the police shut it down, and the organizers cry discrimination. At least that's what happened last Friday at the Blue Store in Chelsea, after a complaint was called into the local precinct.
When the officer demanded that they shut down the demonstration, he issued no summons and could not tell the organizers what law's they were specifically breaking. He claimed that the permit was needed, because the display caused a "sidewalk obstruction". According to reports, there were only fifteen onlookers.
Though the massage was considered "erotic", it included no simulated sex, nudity or lewdness. Basically, it was (allegedly) no more risque than the Blue Store's usual window displays, which are often crowded with scantily clad porn stars. Either way, the store's owner claims that he didn't realize how racy the demonstration would be, and he's now worried that the police will be watching his store. So what do you think--was this discrimination or just poor planning by the organizers?

The British government has recently announced that all schools must offer sexual education courses. Lessons will begin at age five, with primary school students learning about their bodies, puberty, marriages, divorces and civil partnerships. They'll move on from there to learn about contraception, gay and lesbian relationships, the emotional complications of having sex and HIV.
The catch? Faith schools must teach lessons about abortion and tolerance of gay individuals, but they may present both topics within the context of their religion. Sounds reasonable to me, but what do you think of this updated policy?

It's that time of year again... The Cybersocket Web Awards are here and we're psyched! Why? Because MANHUNT and our other brands were nominated in six categories. We would love to win all six awards, but we're going to need your help! Below is a list of the categories that we were nominated in:
Go to http://www.cybersocketwebawards.com/vote.php and vote for us! If we win all six categories, I'll post naked pictures of Dewitt... ok, maybe I can't do that, but I'd be a very happy blogger. Oh, and Dewitt would be ecstatic.

In a recent interview with the Advocate, director of True Blood, Alan Ball, promises that more gay characters will be introduced into the storyline. One of the new characters will be the vampire king of Mississippi Talbot, along with his long time partner. He also stated that Lafayette will meet a love interest and lesbians will get more lovin' in the next season.
The best part of the interview? He said that Jason Stackhouse (aka Ryan Kwanten) might be back to his old ways, meaning he'll get naked a lot. I'm psyched!

I'm not really sure how I feel about Adam Lambert's album cover. I can't tell if it's him or P!nk with blue hair. This is what happens when photoshopping goes bad. Maybe he's trying to be this generation's Boy George. Lets hope he doesn't end up in jail for assaulting and imprisoning a male escort. I'm still excited about his album though--can't wait to hear it.
