A 50-year gay rights pioneer, Frank Kameny, passed away Tuesday at the age of 86.

If you don’t know who Kameny is yet, you should! He’s single-handedly the only reason you have the rights you do!

Back in ’57, Kameny was working for the United States government as an astronomer when he was fired for being gay. But unlike most men at that time, he didn’t hang his head and accept his dismissal. He decided to stir up some shit! He went to the Supreme Court to fight for his rights, and organized the first ever gay rights march in front of both the White House and the Independence Hall in 1965.

Over the years, Kameny has been praised by both the gay dating community and their straight supporters alike for being the leader of a group that changed society. The legalization of gay marriage and the ability for gay couples to adopt children are both acts that can be traced back to the tireless effort Kameny put towards his fight for gay rights.

When President Barack Obama signed the directive stating that all federal employees can extend their benefits to their same-sex partners back in 2009, and more recently when Obama signed the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Kameny was invited to stand in the Oval Office, and was able to usher in a new era of gay rights that he helped pave the way for.
“I suppose you can say at this point, I have become one of the creators of the United States,” he said to the Associated Press last year about his many accomplishments.

Kameny passed away on National Coming Out Day, a day he was present for when it was made official. He’ll be remembered by the gay community as a leader and will be celebrated during his public memorial service that is being planned for early November.

Betty White has done an interview with Frontiers LA Magazine about her LGBT Queen status, but it’s left a lot of us asking– What? Since when is Betty White an LGBT icon?!

Don’t get me wrong– I love Rose Nylund as much as the next guy, but I don’t exactly associate her with the same crowning we’ve given people like Kathy Griffin.

Apparently she’s had a huge gay following thanks to her considerably racy roles and her extreme love of animals (which, I have to admit, I think is adorable), but that’s not exactly reason to praise someone as a gay icon!

But, regardless of what I think, she’s talking about her involvement of the LGBT community, and by the sounds of it, she likes the attention!

“Throughout my career, I’ve always portrayed characters that were humorous, but also weren’t afraid to speak their minds, especially when it came to racy or controversial topics,”says White.”I think this struck a chord with the LGBT community. We both also share a very strong love for animals. When you combine the two, it’s a very strong match.”

She’s now working with the Lifeline Program, which is helping aid parents with terminal cases of AIDS and HIV to help them pay their med bills and life the rest of their lives happily.

The thing I hate a problem with is that I’ve never actually heard Betty say anything positive towards gay dating. I mean, most of our gay icons are icons because they’re not afraid to stand up for our rights. Hello, Lady Gaga. But old Whitey never comments one way or another on it.

I think if we’re going to have her up on that pedestal, I think she should start speaking out for us!

What do you think? Is White right for gay icon status?

How many times have you watched the show Hung and wished that Thomas Jane was a prostitute in real life that you could get your hands on?

Well skanks, your dreams have come true!

Thomas Jane was talking to the LA Times last week and let it slip that when he was trying to make it as an actor as a teen, he started turning tricks to make it through tough times. The story is a little sad, but you can’t get much more hot than that!

“When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless. I didn’t have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn’t averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?”

Not only is Jane totally open about his gay past, he’s proud of it, too!

“I was exploring my sexual identity. It blew the doors off of my conventional upbringing and thinking and opened up possibilities for me. Look, Until you’ve tasted the food, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or not, as my mom always said.”

So when does the petition to get him fired off of Hung start? I mean, if he’s having gay sex when he’s out of work, I’d gladly give him something to fill his time! And to fill other things as well, if you get my drift ; ).

It’s amazing to see people go from nothing to something so extraordinary, especially when they’re doing it with a totally open mind. You just got yourself another fan, TJ!

NBC’s long running sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live premiered Saturday to huge numbers, and as a surprise to the gay community, they had homosexuality all up in their business!

The show has been known in the past to bring us some steamy man-on-man lip action from people like Bill Hader/ Paul Rudd, Bill Hader/ Andy Samberg, Bill Hader/ every man on that cast, but their actually gay story lines are usually limited to when they have a gay host (remember what they had Elton John doing when he hosted last season? Classic!).

So when they started off the season with not one but two gay story lines, it was a hilarious surprise to the LBGT community! Sure some of the stuffier gays in the world took offense to the skits, but they’re the same type of people who get offended by Glee.

In a segment that I personally appreciated, they took at look at how it was overtly obvious that Top Gun was about gay sex, and it was phenomenal.

But even better than that was the game show Hader hosted, because I can almost guarantee that all gay men have played this game before: Who’s On Top?

It’s a game where you have two straight men and guess who would be on top if they were gay. I thought it was magnificent! They pinned people like Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen together and made the players explain who would be on top and why. I don’t know if they have a staff of gay writers, or if their straight writers are just incredibly in-tuned with their gay instincts, but every answer was right on the money! Of course Depardieu would be the bottom for Benigni! And when the options were Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, Baldwin got it right on the money when he answered Oprah. It wouldn’t be any other way!

If you haven’t played this game before, now’s your perfect chance! I’ll start you off. Edward Cullen or Jacob Black?

We all need a little extra motivation every now and then. We need our alarm to go off more than once in the morning, we need our boss to tell us to meet the deadline twice (no? Just me?), and we need something to pump us up for the weekend! By the time Saturday hits, most people just want to sleep for the next two days. But the weekend is the perfect time to go find a new gay dating partner!

If you need a little inspiration to get pumped tonight, here are some songs to listen to to get you in the mood!

Ignition- R Kelly
This is the ideal song if you’re going out to the club to pick up. Sip on coke and rum, don’t care if you’re drunk, because it’s the freakin’ weekend baby! Go out and have some fun!

Friday I’m In Love- The Cure
This is the perfect song for listening to while fantasizing about the life you’re going to have together with the guy you meet tonight. LOL.. Alright, maybe not, but it IS a great love song, and it’s about Friday, so it’s perfectly suitable to listen to!

Just Got Paid- *Nsync
There’s nothing worse than trying to date while you have something shitty like bills and rent on your mind. The weekend usually means pay day, which means you can be stress-free! Your bills will be paid, your rent will be taken care of, and you’re free to go out to the gay bars and spend whatever is left!

Saturday Night’s All Right For Fighting– Elton John
If you don’t listen to Elton John to get yourself ready for a weekend of hitting on hotties and downing shots, then you’re doing it wrong. Stick this song on your iPod NOW! You’ll be ready to go in no time.

Friday- Rebecca Black
This has gone from a joke, to a viral video, to a gay anthem. If Rebecca Black isn’t the song you wake up to at the end of the workweek, then you need to take a good hard look at your life, because you need to make some changes.

Listen to some good music, get your dance on, hit on some guys, and get yourself laid! It’s the WEEKEND!

Celebrities always have what we want. An unlimited supply if Marc Jacobs, people giving us facials and doing our hair for us every morning, and quite possibly the hottest boyfriends of all time. Can’t they spare some of the good mean for the rest of us regular folk?!

I’ve been celibate for the past two days (and by that, I clearly mean I had my ass dumped), but in the case of these 7 celebrity boyfriends, I would gladly give up my gay sex dry spell!

7. Anderson Cooper’s boyfriend Benjamin Maisani
Although Anderson isn’t totally out of the closet, him and his boyfriend Benjamin are by no means going out of their way to hide their relationship. The pair are often seen around the streets of NYC, and have been spotted house-hunting a few times since the new year.

6. Clay Aiken’s boyfriend Reed Kelly
I don’t know how Clay Aiken of all people hooked a guy like Reed Kelly, but I’m sure it has to do something with his big bank account heart. Look at the way that boy can bend! I want to take him for a test drive.

5. Jim Parson’s fiancee Todd Spiewak
We’re not too sure what it is that Spiewak does, but he looks adorable while doing it! Every time the two are in public together, he always has the most genuine smile on. So cute!

4. Neil Patrick Harris’s husband David Burtka
I really don’t know who’s hotter, NPH or his hubby, but I do know that a threesome with them would bring to life a shit ton of wet dreams I’ve had.

3. Matthew Bomber’s husband Simon Halls
Matthew Bomber is another one who won’t admit he’s gay, but  has three adorable kids with his husband, who he’s been with for years. Did I mention his husband is a stone cold FOX?

2. Marc Jacob’s husband Lorenzo Martone
Speaking of an unlimited supply of Marc Jacobs, it makes sense that his hubby Lorenzo has the best wardrobe of everyone on this list. Hell-O! He’s married to Marc Jacobs! What else would you expect.

1. Adam Lambert’s boyfriend Sauli Koskinen
I’m assuming this is a new boyfriend considering I’ve never seen him before this week, but now that he’s around, I’m planning on stanning the fuck out of him. He. Is. A. BABE!!!!!

Housewives and gay men have a lot in common. We both like DILFs, we both count down the days until our next facial, and we both spend our week days putting work on hold so we can watch The Bold And The Beautiful for an hour. The difference between us? There’s probably only going to be one of our groups searching the internet for Brooke Logan Forrester’s son’s gay porn!

Katherine Kelly Lang, the actress who has played Brook for more than 25 years on the long running soap opera, first showed the world her son when he played a reoccurring role on the show, but he’s now moved onto bigger and much better things!

The 21-year-old Jeremy Scott Snider, who is going by the porn name of ‘Nick,’ first came on the scene as an aspiring model at ModelMayhem.com, where he claimed he wasn’t okay with taking nude pictures. But thanks to our great detective skills, we’ve learned otherwise!

SeanCody.com has all the hot action of Jeremy engaging in quite steamy gay sex! Personally, my favorite part is that he’s doing it the safe way with protection. That’s something that most gay porn stars forget before they film!

The actor’s dad used to produce and direct films for Playboy, so an inkling to be around the business may run in the family. Since hearing about hit, his mom has been mum about the situation, but her little baby is in movies! She must be positively glowing with pride!

Now that everyone is trading in their swim trunks and flip flops for hoodies and scarves, a lot of guys are getting worried that they’ll have to put an end to their summer fling. Well gentlemen, it’s time to get your shit together! Who says you can’t turn a summer fling into a real relationship?!

If you want to hold on to the gay you found during the warmer months, there should be nothing holding you back from doing that. So how do you hint to your guy that you want to keep things going into autumn?

Make plans to do something further into the year
A lot of summer flings end simply because the couple doesn’t plan for the future. They put an expiration date on the relationship from day 1 and nobody bothers to put in an effort past that day. Instead of letting it die out, put effort in to keep it going! Buy tickets together for a concert in the fall, so the two of you have something to look forward to together. It will prevent you from subconsciously letting the relationship go stale when summer’s over.

Have ‘The Talk’
A lot of guys, gay or otherwise, simply don’t like talking about their feelings, but if you’re with someone you like, it’s worth your time to decide what you want and discuss it with them. Ask where they see the relationship going, and what the two of you can do to make things work.

Be blunt!
If you want to stay together, tell him you want to stay together! It’s not rocket science, it’s lust. Gay dating is hard enough when you don’t have the pressure of summer coming to an end, so forget about D-day and tell your man that you want to make things last with him.

Why people brace themselves for a break up every August, I have no idea. Be one of the smart ones who avoids the problem and save your boyfriend to keep you warm during the winter!

IT’S THE WEEKEND, BITCHES !!!

When I asked my friend Mark what he absolutely needs in his bedroom, he came back with “My bed.” Well, yes Mark, but if you want to get action, you need more than that! If I walked into a guys room and didn’t see the essentials for a good time, I’d walk right out of there! I’m not wasting my time if you haven’t even bothered to prepare the essentials.

THICK PILLOWS
Most people see pillows as something to lay their head on while they sleep. I see pillows as the building blocks to a sex jungle! You need thick pillows to prop you into positions you can’t get into yourself. Putting them behind your lower back or butt can make the difference between great gay sex and an average lay.

LUBE
As if you don’t already have this for your alone time. But don’t just get any lube… Get both a thick, water based lube for sex (it won’t disturb the condom if it’s water based), and a lube that you can use for massage oil to set the mood.

HOT MUSIC
No, I don’t want to listen to your ‘Britney: The Remixes’ CD while we’re fucking. I want to listen to 98 Degrees! I want to listen to Mariah! I want to listen to god damn Boys II Men! If you don’t have music to set the mood, then you’re leaving out the most powerful, and easiest, element to great sex.

A VIBRATOR
If you haven’t tried a vibrator during sex yet, then you’re not doing your job as a gay. They’re not just for women! When we’re about to reach the big moment, a vibrator can make the difference between cumming and Meg Ryaning.

There are some necessary bedroom essentials that every guy should have. If you don’t at least own these key elements to a good hook up, then do everyone a favor and don’t bring dates home until you have them!
