RETAKE - A Feature Film

Kickstarter.com

A young male prostitute (played by Luke Pasqualino) is hired by Jonathan, a lonely middle-aged man, to be his companion on a road trip from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon.

Jonathan creates a role for the escort to play for the duration of the trip: "Brandon." Eager to leave his own past behind, the escort accepts the role and they set off on their drive.  “Brandon” quickly comes to realize he’s playing a pivotal part of Jonathan’s desire to relive his past.

"Brandon" and Jonathan -- two damaged souls driving to the Grand Canyon, one trying to remember his past; the other trying to forget. RETAKE is an exploration of love, loss, identity, and the delicate balance of moving toward an uncertain future.

HBO PROMO REVEALS FIRST FOOTAGE FROM 'THE NORMAL HEART': VIDEO

HBO PROMO REVEALS FIRST FOOTAGE FROM 'THE NORMAL HEART': VIDEO

hb2

Larry Kramer’s Tony award-winning 1985 play The Normal Heart—which details the ominous spread of HIV/AIDS among a group of gay men in 1980s New York City—is finally getting a movie adaptation on the small screen. Directed by American Horror Story and Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy, Heart will premiere this spring on HBO and features a star-studded cast including Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, and Taylor Kitsch (below, in a photo Ruffalo tweeted out this summer). “It’s a movie about AIDS, but it’s also really a civil rights movie,” says Murphy, who worked with Kramer on the script for three years. “I think it’s more timely than ever before. It’s really about the quest to be seen, not as a gay person or a straight person but just a person…. It’s an activist movie that also has a really great love story in it.” Adds the director, “Of everything I’ve done in my career, I think it is the biggest labor of love.”

Certainly one of the most highly anticipated gay media moments next year is the film adaptation of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart, which features a star-studded cast including Mark Ruffalo, Jim Parsons, Taylor Kitsch, Matt Bomer, and Julia Roberts.

Looking Season 1

Have you ever sat down to watch HBO's Girls and thought to yourself, “Hmm, this is good, but what it really needs is for everyone to be a gay dude?” Well you're in luck! (Also, isn't the whole point of Girls that it's . . . about girls? Way to take a show and spin it into something entirely different, viewer.)

Looking, set to premiere on Jan 19 on HBO, is written and directed by Andrew Haigh, the man behind the feel-good movie Weekend. The preview clip isn't exactly forthcoming — we see some dudes making out, Jonathan Groff looking pensively off into the distance, and possibly Russell Tovey peeking around there somewhere

WATCH: 'TOM' Movie Teaser

This sexy, fun clip shows Touko, aka Tom of Finland, in 1971—before he became the erotic drawing master

Finland based Special Film Company is developing a biographical feature film based on the life of Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991), better known as the international gay icon Tom of Finland. Filming begins in spring 2014 for a 2015 release.

The movie, named Tom, is an international co-production. Besides traditional funding sources the production will involve a crowd funding campaign. Having artistic independence through independent financing is the only way to make a movie true to both Touko's work and his life”, directors Vesa Kuosmanen and Henri Huttunen state.

Olli Rahkonen, known from the acclaimed feature film 3 Simoa, will be seen in the leading role. The actor didn't hesitate when asked to portray Tom: “Touko's story is a unique tale of how a man, who needs to hide his sexuality, becomes an international gay icon through his art.” Martti Manninen, who plays Touko's young lover Veli, continues: “The subject matter is very current in today’s political climate. We are all committed to making a movie not just about a man, but also about his impact in the gay culture.”

Producer Miikka Haleyi describes the movie as “Boogie Nights meets the Pianist.” The style of the film will be faithful to Tom's art, combining eroticism with a playful sense of humour.
We remember him through leather, huge muscles, even larger cocks and humour -- empowering the masculine gay man. We know who Tom of Finland is. Now meet Touko.

What makes a gay soldier different from a straight soldier?

gsoldier

Iako je ovaj spot objavljen u USA na dan vetrana namjenjen u svrhu promovisanja jednakosti STR8 i GAY vojnika i zahtjeva za slobodu sklapanja gay brakova, u našim balkanskim okolnostima nosi poruku “Svi smo mi dio istog tima” ili “U čemu je razlika?”
Stereotipi o ljudima homoseksualne i biseksualne seksualne orjentacije u Crnoj Gori i šire na balkanu teško umiru, najviše zahvaljujući uticaju crkve ali i samih gay ljudi.
Izraz “Ponaša se kao peder” nije nastao zbog seksualne orjentacije već zbog ponašanja koje nema veze sa tim.  Nesretna pederska potreba da laže nastaje od onog momenta kada kao tinejdžer shvati da je drugačiji od ostalih i vremenom se pretvara u jedan poseban način življenja u kojem ni sami gejevi nisu u stanju da razlikuju laž od istine. Često im to bude i največi problem u komunikaciji i socijalizaciji sa ostalim ljudima. Vrhunska pederčina ne laže samo sebe, već i kompletnu svoju okolinu bez obzira da li je u društvu gay ili str8 ljudi.
Ne tako rijetko će te u razgovorima sa takvim likovima čuti razne detalje o tome ko je gay , a ko nije, ko sa kime spava, sa kim su bili sve u krevetu i šta su sve radili. Takvi ljudi definitivno podržavaju stereotip o pederima kao brbljivcima i lažljivcima. Feminiziranost kao sastavni dio ovakvog aranžmana može , ali i ne mora da stoji.
Srećom takvi pederi su u manjini iako su najglasniji. Većina se ponaša normalno kao i svaki drugi čovjek sa istom problemima i mukama koje muče svakog čovjeka bez obzira sa kim spavao, bez obzira da li je autovan ili ne.
Zato zapamtite: Pederom vas ne čini to što radite u 4 zida, već to što radite izvan njih!

IS THIS SHIRTLESS VETERAN’S DAY AD DISRESPECTFUL TO GAY SOLDIERS?

BY: DANIEL VILLARREAL ( Gay.Net)

To comemorate Veterans Day — the day we thank American soldiers for their service — the LGBT marriage organization Freedom To Marry made a video of two hunky soldiers stripping down to their skivvies and showing us their scars.

The tagline reads: “Gay and straight service members scar in the same way.”

LGBT blogger Bil Browning hated the video:

“It always boils down to complaining about marriage, doesn’t it? God forbid we just honor LGBT soldiers for their service and sacrifice – instead of showing off their scars and bruises for political gain.”

“This video plays into every damn stereotype of our community. It objectifies the two men as sexual objects and takes a very serious subject – wounded veterans – and turns it into another way to insert marriage rights where it has no business.”

“Giving the soliders the right to marry their partners won’t let them escape war unscathed. To imply that it will is simply disgusting.”

While we don’t see the nakedness in the commercial as tawdry as Mr. Browning did, otherwise, he kind of has a point.

Despite the 2011 repeal of the gay-military banned known as “Don’t Ask Tell, “the so-called Defense of Marriage Act continues to screw over military families.

However, as the The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network explains, DOMA is just a nasty little cherry atop a crappy cake of military inequality.

For example, transgender soldiers still can’t serve, can’t recieve hormonal treatment for a gender-reassignment surgery and they can still get discharged as having a psychosexual condition if they express any feelings of gender disphoria.

Federal Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines still prohibit military servicemen who have sex with other men from giving blood, presumably because our blood is un-American or some sort of national security risk.

Furthermore, Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rtill prohibits consensual sodomy (that is anal and oral sex between any two people, straight or gay. We’ll give you one guess as to which sexual orientation has been most negatively affected by sodomy charges.

Despite the fact that the 2003 Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas struck down sodomy laws nationwide, “the military could constitutionally continue to prosecute consensual sodomy under limited circumstances.” For example, if you outrank the guy you’re fucking… that’s a crime (see United States v. Marcum).

And that crime can snag you five years in prison, punitive discharge, reduction in pay and fines and forfeitures.

LGB soldiers can also get in serious trouble for “virtually any physical act with another person… if it can be shown that the act was committed for a sexual or romantic purpose,” under articles 133 and 134 of the UCMJ (also known as “conduct unbecoming” and “general article”).

So while DOMA may continue to harm our celebrated LGBT soldiers, it’s important not to forget about the other systemic inequalities that our servicemembers face on a daily basis.

tieČesto na mojim profilima po raznim Date sajtovima napišem: Neko da goli popijemo kafu?
Čudno za većinu pedera, zove na kafu i još goli, a ne na seks. Mnogi odmah preskoče profil i vjerovatno pomisle "Još jedan čudak na sajtu!"
Neznam šta vi mislite o ideji da goli u društvu pijete piće, pričate,eventualno gledate porniće i palite se, a da pri svemu tome seks nije glavna stvar,ali meni je to u većini bolje i prihvatljivije nego sa nekim koga "poznajete" desetak minuta odmah završite u krevet nakon čega će te panično pobjeći sa mjesta "zločina".
Popiti kafu sa nekim na jedan goli ili polugoli način može da dobije jedan sasvim novi smisao.
Iako kratki performans "The tie that bind me ..." nije namjenjen da prezentuje moju želju za ispijanjem kafe kroz njega možete da se nasluti o čemu se radi.

tie2Paige explores the concept of fraternal relationships and resuscitated texts that incorporates performance, and video, the work title is derived from a commonly used quote by US college fraternity houses.Through a process of repetition and evolution, a piece of twenty five year old, illicit cultural artefact on the brink of historical and cultural obsolescence is reinterpreted and re-presented to produce a new work.

This continues the artists exploration of the intersection of biography and late twentieth century learnt culture from West Coast, USA. Here investigating the possibility of re-performance and re-articulation of a text through the use of video and a performance of a short section of script, appropriated from the opening scene from a 1980’s gay adult movie 'In Hot Pursuit'. Through this re-iterative process and by re-contextualising the purpose, place and form of the original, Paige unpicks the masculine, it's construction and how this becomes a motif or modus operandi in fraternal dealings, continuing an ongoing exploration of the intersections between biography and late twentieth century popular culture.

Cold Star (2011)

Cold-Star

A public swimming pool is transformed into a utopia where sexual orientation and gender binaries does not matter. German director Kai Stänicke describes his 7 minute short film Cold Star as a mixture of a short and a music video. A hybrid, that connects the emotions of a short with beats and lyrics of the music. The film is an appeal for acceptance of your own and others sexual identity.
The sublime cinematography combine with the short being dialog-free is what really makes this work for me. I love it and the music from the German band Din.

Directed by Kai Stänicke (Germany)
