Thats so gay

Well it looks like the Huffington Post and People magazine have linked Adam Lambert to a young man from the Big Easy. No I am not talking about Brent Corrigan so don't go getting all ballistic. Oh and by the way Brent will be getting a new and improved blog real soon it is currently going through beta testing. I have seen his new blog and it is very nice so stay tuned for a post about that. Now back to our almost American Idol. The young mans name is Drake Labry. You can read about it on the MOC blog and there is a link to the story there as well. They have not called him gay but I think Adam has done a good job of letting the world now that himself in the video posted below. I also love how they try to make it appear that he is holding hands with Drake Labry in the picture.


They also have some other really fun stuff to read over there on MOC blog. Check out Varla Jean Merman's salute to the 40 year anniversary of Stonewall. The other fun thing that I saw while reading the blog was Joe Jonas doing a bad imitation of Beyonce's Single ladies but it was fun to watch cause he was so bad. I swear this is the most copied video I have ever seen.




I will say this that he will probably make most of his female fans jealous because he looks good in that black bodysuit. I personally got the joke but most of the "straight" guys who made all of the negative comments about the video all called him gay. This I find kind of funny because if you are a cute guy who the girls like and you sing or dance most of the simple minded little haters on You tube call you gay. It kind of makes you wonder what is going on in the heads of those little small minded freaks. Personally the gay community is not much better because they also think every guy who is cute is gay as well. So I guess everybody is just fucked up. I say get a grip and deal with it not everybody is gay and further more not everybody is straight either. I personally hate labels anyway.

Ernie Barnes 1938-2009


Ernie Barnes who is known for his iconic art work has passed away after a brief illness. The man had many different careers during his lifetime. He played football and was the "Official Artist of the American Football League". .His iconic painting Sugar Shack was used as the album art on Marvin Gaye's album I want you and it was also used on the television show Good Times. His paintings were used as the art work that character JJ was supposed to have painted. His art work is some of my favorite. I love the jubilation that is Sugar ShackEddie Murphy is said to own the original. You can read more about him here and here

Heaven needed a friend so they called Bea Arthur 1922-2009

I never really liked All in the Family when I was a kid. I always thought that Archie was so mean to poor Edith. But one night I watched the show and there was a new character. Her Name was Maude and she was Edith’s cousin. As annoying as Archie was, Maude was a breath of fresh air. She was bold and brash and she did not take anybody shit but Walters.

Now this show All in the family might have the spin off record. There was Archie Bunker's Place, The Jefferson’s and Maude, which spun off Good Times. Now what is funny is I loved the Jefferson’s and I learned to love all in the family but I learned to hate Good Times. I guess I just could not identify with the family. I did identify with The Cosby’s though because that is the kind of family I grew up in.

But I digress back to Maude that show made me laugh and it also made me cry it was just an all around great show. When it went off the air I was truly sad. I watched the movie Mame with Bea Arthur and Lucille Ball and I actually liked it. It was different it was a musical and being queer I just like musicals OK. Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell is the original. It was the height of camp and fabulousness.

I was so thrilled when Empty Nest had a spin off called Golden Girls after lousing Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda and Maude we needed another girl show on TV. The show had a dream cast with Rue McClanahan playing against type of her character on Maude and Betty White playing against type of the character on MTM. Estelle Getty played Sophia Pertrello the mother of Bea Arthur’s character. Together they were brilliant. That is a show that I will watch and it still makes me laugh. Bea Arthur was someone who I just loved to watch. She was a big part of my TV watching life and she will be truly missed.

Yes there were plenty of jokes made about Bea Arthur but she was truly loved. Her success transcended the small screen and it graced Broadway and the Silver Screen. Bea Arthur was a star. She was sheer talent. She was one of those rare actresses who could do it all. One of the greats. Hollywood will shine less brightly now that another star is gone. The saving grace is that she will live on forever as long as there is cable, videotape and DVD’s. Her legacy will live on and we can always get our Golden Girl fix.

Bernice Frankel, 1922-2009 Thank you for being a friend.

Hate as free speech jeopardized by hate crime legislation!

Looks like the Advocate is still stirring up the shit. Seems that no one really got past the crap with Rezeurk Nomad to look at this gem. The son of Jerry Falwell has mounted a coalition to stop the passage of hate crime laws saying that it will effect his right to free speech. Well Now isn’t that just special! Who told him to go and start this whole crusade of hate? Could it be possibly SATEN!



I come from a long line of Christians and I just happen to be gay and yes I do believe in God. I also have several family members in the clergy and I have had some serious debates with them about the whole issue of my Gayness and they all still love me and they all understand that it is not a choice. They also have an open mind on this issue and are willing to listen to me. We have known each other most of our lives. They knew that I was not some evil sinner. I am the same little snot nosed bowlegged kid who they grew up with. What I am getting at is that I have a cousin who was giving a youth sermon at a family reunion and I stopped him in the middle of it and I told him that we needed to talk.

He stopped excused himself from the group and we went off and I spoke of my concerns with his sermon. When I explained to him that he was inciting hatred with his words. He in turn understood what I was saying and he realized that he was wrong for saying what he had said and he apologized to me. He then proceeded to apologize to the group about what he said and continued on with his sermon. This is not rare and not all Christians are zealots and bigoted.


There is a small minority who are ignorant to the truth and they are willing to allow some "man" to stand up in a pulpit in front of them and proclaim that he speaks the word of God. In effect they are worshipping a false idol and in the bible that is one of the biggest sins. So let them go to the gates of Heaven with that burden on their souls and they will be sent to the same place that Jerry Falwell senior was sent.

My main reason for writing this is that these Christian right wing conservatives want to continue preaching their hate rhetoric unabated and this hate crime bill has them scared. Yes they could possibly be held accountable for inciting some negative action on society. It was Hitler’s negative hate speech that sent millions of Jews and gays to the Nazi death camps. And now these religious radicals want to hide behind the bible and speak their hate unabated by the law. What is funny is that no one seems to get it. They preach hate and they give good Christians a bad name. They have an agenda people and they always have and they hide behind God to do it. Get a clue people figure it out I know you can. Are we really so stupid that we will allow this to happen again less than 100 years after Hitler’s last reign?

Then we have these same people who are still trying to use their lies and scare tactics to spread their agenda of denying people the right to love who they choose. They are using their religious beliefs as a reason to justify discrimination. What would God think about this? Does God want us to look down on people because we do not agree with them? Or does he say that we shall not judge lest be judged? Well I don’t think these people who claim that they are preaching Gods word were listening when he spoke to them. Or maybe they only hear what they are comfortable hearing but they are wrong in trying to use the word of God as some attempt to justify discrimination.


People Jesus died because of discrimination! Think about that for a minute. Yes the Son of God was killed because someone did not like what he had to say or believed in. Do these people want to keep this legacy of hate going? That is what is wrong with the world today, Too much hate and not enough acceptance.

Porn as art, whoda thunk it?

Kurt Wild wants to bring the art house and the whorehouse together and make artistic porn. What is funny is that many don’t seem to get it. Kurt wants to bring the heat, sensuality and the passion back to porn in the same way Kristen Bjorn, Lucas Kazan and Cadinot have. Belami has on occasion touched on that fine line as well. But most companies seem to think that two hot guys fucking is the recipe for a hot scene. I just don’t understand that rational. To me porn is not just about two people fucking. It really is about the fact that the people you are watching fuck really want to be there fucking. That they are so into what they are doing that you the viewer does not exist. You know the kind of porn you feel dirty watching because you feel like your spying on a private moment between two people.


There needs to be chemistry between the models and I have been saying this forever. It seems that lately "reality porn" or the free stuff you can watch on Xtube and similar sites is pulling the viewer away from the "big budget" porn. The one thing that I have noticed about the "big budget" stuff that I have seen is that it is just so formatted. The director has to be aware that some times he just has to step back and let the models go and make sure that he has cameras there to catch the magic. A good sex scene has a beginning middle and an end. It has to flow and it has to build in intensity. What I have seen in most of the porn lately is just a rush to a cum shot. In all truth good sex is nasty and dirty and it rarely gets depicted that way in porn.






All you have to do is think of one of the hottest times that you had sex and you know you would not want someone filming it because it was not pretty. Porn tries to sanitize that bit of nastiness and sometimes in doing so they loose the spontaneity. What I find strange in porn is that models are chosen for their looks and they don’t have an attraction to each other. The scenes often fall flat and you have just put two people through hell for what you thought would be a hot scene. Sex is really about attraction and it always has been. It is chemical and physical and emotional and it has to have all of those components to be hot.


Just because two guys have nice bodies does not make them compatible. Sometimes it does happen but for the most part I have noticed that it is the opposites that attract who make for a hot scene. I have mentioned Kurt Wild a few times on my blog and he has never failed to deliver when it comes to heat on the screen. One thing that I have noticed is that allot of the boys who are making a definite mark on the gay porn scene have come from the website porn scene. Two sites in particular have been the beginning playgrounds for allot of the models that are becoming big names in the industry. Corbin Fisher and College dudes 247 seem to be flooding the market with hot talent.

These Models seem to go from company to company and are consistent in putting on a hot performance. You have Jesse Santana, Mason Wyler, Kurt Wild, Adam Campbell and Tory Mason all from Corbin Fisher. There are others out there that are just as consistently hot too. Zack Randal, Aaron James and Shane Erickson have also made the cross over to big studio porn. And a bunch of them all went to different online sites such as College Dudes 247, Chaosmen, Sean Cody and Cockyboys, etc. These web based porn companies are putting out the best content in my opinion. And when these boys do step on the set of studio porn they are ready and they make the scenes work. But then we have what I call the dead fish of porn. You have Brody Sinclair, Mike Roberts and Barrett Long who constantly proclaim their straightness.


When will these lackluster bitches learn that we don’t care who they fuck off the screen?
Porn is about fantasy and every time these gay for pay bitches open their stupid mouths they ruin the fantasy. So to all of the gay for pay bitches out there I say shut the fuck up and quite bitching about people thinking you are gay. You fuck men on camera, get a god damn clue bitches! And to the viewing public who are offended by these "straight men" doing gay porn stop watching their shit and the producers will get the clue. As long as the scene is hot I really don’t care if you have sex with a fence post in your private life. I say make it look real make it look hot and make me want to watch it again that is the key to good porn. It is also the key to saving the industry. Buying porn is not cheap and you have to make it worth the money for someone to pay $30.00 a month or to drop $50.00 on a video.

The porn industry seems to be going the way of extreme porn and they are loosing focus of what is hot and only trying to get a buck for the shit they produce. I have seen my share of bareback porn, as a matter of fact that is all there was when I started my porn-viewing career. So it really was not such a big deal to see a boy take a big cock up his ass with out a condom. So if you want to watch bareback porn there is still plenty of it available and the boys who did it are most likely dead now. We need to be responsible and not teach the message that fucking bareback is safe. All you have to do is look at a Treasure Island video and you will see what the effect of bareback porn has on a person. All of the companies who are producing twink bareback are just being irresponsible for a buck. The idea of watching a cute little 18-year old boy risk getting infected with HIV is not my idea of erotic. It is sad and it pisses me off that the people who are producing this shit are most likely old enough to know the effect that unprotected sex had on the porn industry and the gay community in the 80’s and the 90’s. We lost some very talented people because of Aids. And if this practice keeps up we will continue to do so.


I understand that porn is a business and it is about making money but just because it is does not mean you have to exploit the talent pool, who just happen to be the key to your success. It is that attitude that will be the downfall of this industry. Those who do not exploit will succeed and those who do will fall by the wayside surrounded by the bodies of the boys that they destroyed. It is already happening and it will continue to do so until there are some serious changes made in what type of content is produced and what kind of treatment is afforded to the talent that makes this industry function. The models in porn are human beings not just some throwaway commodity. Once the producers realize this the better for the industry.

Is Damon Kruezer the most hated man "in" gay porn?

We all know that Damon Kruezer really has no tie too the Gay Adult Film industry and he is only used by the most unscrupulous people in the industry. Damon is just an attack dog used by the many who are to chicken shit to confront their victims themselves. Damon has admitted that he did work for Bryan Kocis and was working on the harassment of Brent Corrigan when his own mother was evicted from her apartment of 17 years. Paul Barresi just uses Damon when he wants to back stab someone. Chris Steele and Paul Barresi his "friends" were working on "The Velvet Mafia" starring Brent Corrigan but Damon did not even revue it. Damon’s claims about working with many models are in fact lies. Damon has never been to an industry function and his name is verboten.

I was reading the comments on the threads about the Advocate article by C. Brian Smith. His inclusion of Damon Kruezer as a source for information on the gay porn industry was at best troubling. I have come to the conclusion that this whole article must be a joke. Well it must be because C. Brian smith is a writer of satire and the use of Damon Kruezer as point of reference is his attempt at humor right? It seems that he was trying to use Damon Kruezer as some sort of joke that seems to have fallen flat. Maybe C. Brian Smith has never actually looked at Damon’s Technicolor trash page. Because if he had he would be well aware of Damon’s false claims about being one of the last people to interview Harlow Cuadra. I also believe that he never spoke to Patrick Terpstra who also took Damon on his word that he was connected to the gay porn industry and that he interviewed Harlow Cuadra. If C. Brian Smith had spoken to Patrick Terpstra he would know that the mere mention of Damon Kruezer could be a huge mistake.

I wonder if C. Brian Smith ever spoke to Michael Gross who wrote the article for Out Magazine on the Bryan Kocis murder. Michael could have given C. Brian some insight on Damon Kruezer. I wonder if C. Brian Smith even did an Internet search on Damon Kruezer. If he did he would have come up with a wealth of information on Damon Kruezer. I wonder if C. Brian Smith actually asked anybody who is connected with the Gay porn Industry if he would have mentioned Damon Kruezer. I wonder if he spoke to someone at Cybersocket would he have used the name Damon Kruezer. It is just sad that someone who has such a bright future ahead of him as C. Brian Smith now has to deal with his name forever being connected with the taint of Damon Kruezer. But I guess he is used to being connected with world class idiots.

C. Brian Smith is a Yale educated writer and he is also a contributing writer for The Huffington Post. C. Brian Smith is a good friend of former first daughter Barbara Bush. He tells about how they met in a Vanity Fair article. He seems to be pro gay since he himself identifies as a gay man. He is a writer of satire and I do believe the fact that he used Damon as a source in the piece he wrote for the Advocate was done in a satirical form, which seems to have backfired on him and the Advocate. It seems that C. Brian Smith might not have done enough research on Damon Kruezer. He does not appear to get a true feeling of how many people do not like Damon Kruezer. Maybe he missed the post on Just One Hot minute that dealt with Damon’s Cybersocket awards Nomination and visit or the lack there of to LA. Maybe he did not catch their post about Damon and his lie about the sell of Falcon Studios.

Now I can understand that C. Brian Smith has written for some rather prestigious publications and I have really only written on my blogs but even I know enough to not give Damon Kruezer any credit. I tend to do a bit more research when I write something. Yes I can be lazy about it sometimes and not get all of the facts right and when I do make a mistake I will admit it. Lets see if C. Brian Smith will man up and admit that he made a big mistake by using Damon Kruezer as a reliable source in his story in that Advocate article on the Gay Porn Industry. An industry that will not even speak the name Damon Kruezer. I wonder if he is aware of all of the people that have been victims of the words and lies of Damon Kruezer. There have been few in history that have had such a negative effect on peoples lives like that of Damon Kruezer and they too are forever vilified. Damon Kruezer has no credibility and is a known liar and a fraud and the sooner the mainstream gay press takes him to task the better. Lets see if the Advocate and C. Brian Smith do the right thing.

The season of spring is upon us

This is the time of year when all of the trees and flowers start to bloom and the weather gets nice. Well being in California it is nice pretty much year round. But in Spring, Summer and Fall it is get naked weather. Yes the boys can run around shirtless and in shorts. What is really sad is that due to ignorant fashion choices the shorts got longer and baggier. Now in my opinion that sucks, when I was in my 20’s we wore daisy dukes and those little thin nylon running shorts that did not leave all that much to the imagination. It was hot and sexy and did we have fun, you bet. We were one of the last of the outdoor generations of children and we all had fairly nice bodies. You know from playing sports to riding bicycles to running and just being outdoors in general. Then along came those damn video games and freaked out parents who thought that someone was going to snatch their precious little brats.




That changed everything, if you were born after 1978 you were a house child unless you lived in some Podunk little farming town. By the time I was in my twenties you did not see kids playing outside. You did not see kids riding bicycles or walking to the store. Kids did not even walk to school anymore. Then they started getting fat. Yes kids were fat, no just one or two kids were heavy or as we called it husky but kids were fucking fat, I mean huge. 5 year olds weighing over 100 pounds and shit. I mean when I was 5 I might have weighed 40 ponds and I was tall. Well I am going off tangent here so back to what I was talking about earlier. Spring has sprung and it is time to get back is shape so that you can get naked and get laid.




Now all of the boys you see have these little gym honed bodies which is fine if you like that but I like a guy who has that natural athletic build that comes from doing shit. You know that natural sun kissed look that comes from being outdoors, not that artificial sprayed tanning booth thing that you see so much of nowadays. Yes I know that the sun can cause skin cancer but still it can make you look so much better than those umpa lumpa orange tans that we see so much of now. Hell I’m African American and I would even get out in the sun to get rid of that paper sack color that winter brought on.



What is funny also is what people think is hot now compared to when I was a younger. Six pack abs meant you were not eating enough, now it is what everybody wants. Now I had six pack abs forever and I was not to thrilled about it cause when I was in my 20’s everybody wanted those big pec’s. I always thought that I was to skinny and I could not wait to gain some weight. All of my friends were always bitching about being skinny. A few of them started to go to the gym to build up some bulk but they just got more ripped and they were still skinny. Funny thing is now everyone would think they were all hot and shit. I guess it is just a sign of the times. The current generation of 20 somethings is going to the gym to look the way we just looked naturally. Who would have thought.

What is all of this all about, well it is spring so the White Party is coming up and it is time to show the goods again in one of the nations most famous circuit parties.

Jack Wrangler, Porn Industry Icon Dies

Jack Wrangler June 11, 1946- April 7, 2009 Rest in peace

I did a blog post on my memories of him on my other blog The World according to Ebony Wood

If you have not seen Anatomy of an Icon it is a must see video it is full of fun facts and it is the story of his life. And it won a GayVN award this year for best alternative release.

The Advocate, Porn Panic or C. Brian Smith's Porn Mistake.

The Advocate has just posted an article on the porn industry. About how it is in a virtual tailspin with the advent of free porn sites and piracy. It also discusses how the major studios are pinching pennies to stay afloat. It is interesting reading but there are some glaring mistakes in this article that I just can not stay silent about. I have sent the publisher an email with links to different articles and blogs that discuss the major problem with this article and I hope they get a clue real soon. The email is below.

I Just read the article by C. Brian Smith on Porn Panic the article was decent but it was the inclusion of Damon Kruezer that I find it quite upsetting. I just don't understand why there are so many reporters who really do not have a clue. I have read many articles about the gay porn industry and none of the articles seem to do any fact checking on their sources. The one blatant error in this article is the use of Kruezer at night. Do an Internet search on the name Damon Kruezer and you will get an eyeful of useful information on this Internet Maggot.

This man has for the last 10 + years stalked and lied too and defrauded so many people that no one in the industry will even speak to him yet you use him as a resource? That is a shameless mistake on your part and it seriously takes away from the validity and the credibility of this article. You might want to go back to your other sources and ask them about this Damon Kruezer. Now if you did an article on him that would be some good reading.

There are plenty of people who you already spoke to for this article who would have some interesting things to tell you about him. Damon is someone that the industry will not even mention. While you are talking to dear old Damon you should ask him about his attendance at the Cybersocket awards or better yet any of the gay awards shows honoring the porn industry. He has never been to one of them. He is not an industry insider and never has been, he is an Internet pariah.

You can email your disgust to this address. letters@advocate.com

A myth busted

Now I don’t fault the gay porn industry for this because they are just going after a untapped market. You know as well as I do that Gay men fantasize about seducing straight men. It is just a part of our nature. But if any of you have ever succeeded in this endeavor you know that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. Yeah you get to suck some straight boy dick and maybe you get him to fuck you but then after it is all said and done you are still sitting there wishing he was gay.

So with this in mind I am sitting here writing this little post about the fraud that is being put out there by several online companies who claim that they have these straight boys going through special training to have and enjoy gay sex. Yes we all know who they are and we all know that it is bullshit but we watch it anyway because we think it is hot.

So that brings me to the subject of gay for pay. Now there are some guys who do perform in gay porn who are truly straight. And this is quite obvious by the lack of enthusiasm they show on film. We will not deal with them right now. But there are also the gay boys who also are "straight for pay" who perform in gay porn and hope that you believe that they are straight. The one thing pornography is about is fantasy and that really is all.

Why does anyone care who the porn star fucks when they are not in front of the camera? If it’s not you then it really should not matter. Look these men are doing what they want to do on camera and as far as I know no one is holding a gun to their heads making them do it. It really is all about making a dollar and that is it. They fuck for cash and you get the opportunity to watch it. Some of the guys show real enthusiasm and some don’t. As far back as I can remember in my many years of watching porn it was always a undercurrent that these boys were being seduced into gay sex. Thus fulfilling a fantasy that the porn watcher has always had.




Now we all know that the best sex you are going to have with a man is with someone who is out and proud. We seem to be less inhibited by the whole man on man thing. But as long as we in the gay community have this idea about seducing straight men there will always be porn based on this fantasy. So does that mean that "gay for pay" is here to stay? I think it is just like "straight for pay" is. So to all of those men who find it upsetting that there are straight men performing in gay porn there are just as many gay men pretending to be straight performing in gay porn.



Do you get it now? Porn is about fantasy or to be more blatant it is all about lies to fool you into thinking that these people are having real sex like you have in your own bedrooms at home. They just happen to be on a set with several people watching them with bright lights and a camera shoved up their ass and some guy off to the side telling them to "moan louder" and to "move that hand it is blocking the shot". Porn is a job just like selling shoes or working at a computer all day. There are good things about it and there are bad. Some people don’t like their jobs and some people do like their jobs and you can always tell the ones who do like their jobs.



In my opinion who really cares who the models are fucking off screen as long as the fucking that they do on screen is hot and gets you off. Because in the grand scheme of things that is really the point right? So let the boys fuck for our pleasure and leave their private lives alone unless it is some really scandalous gossip then you know we all need to talk about it.
