Round One of the “Choose My Inspiration” contest started with a blast. Though the competition was tough, here is the winner from Round 1! Stud # 5 captured the hearts and, um, inspirations of the majority of the voters. Although Stud #2 got close, our Stud #5 never once lost the lead. He will now [...]
Why I Love…Provincetown
I thought it would be fun to start a regular series of posts about things that I love. This would not only give me a forum to share those things in life I truly enjoy, but also give my readers some further insight into the man behind the computer screen and the novels. It’s my [...]
Prepping for Provincetown
It’s hard to believe that it’s that time of the year to once again begin our annual trek to Provincetown, Massachusetts, the land of, uh, milk and honey. This year will mark our sixth consecutive year of summering in Ptown (as it is more commonly called), and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Those of you [...]

The Wedding Dance
This video by Elliot London documents the reception and first dance of Jed and Fabi. The couple isn’t who you think they are from their names.

A Valentine’s Video For A Closeted Boyfriend
I came across this video from a Seattle Vlogger named Matt Brown. He composed the video for his boyfriend who lives over 5,000 miles away in a country that doesn’t accept homosexuals. The video is titled “I love you more than…” and Matt cites a litany of cutsie items and situations. It’s sweet and silly, [...]

Many people in the nation, including the younger gay generation, are ignorant to the significance of this day in our nation’s history.
