Source of Inspiration

Just discovered this fantastic photographer Dylan Ricci. Almost on the verge of porn but still feels right.

Verge of porn? Wha? I am very happy that you have found Dylan Ricci, he is a master of lighting the male form, but to say that this imagery on the verge of being pornographic and using porn as a tag...if I were Mr. Ricci, I would be insulted. You do him a disservice with your observation. Just put some porn on your blog and be done with it if you want hits. I happened on your blog by the image, incidentally.

No Gays in Iran

Image
The visit of the Iranian mongrel president to New York is not over yet. Using the podium at Columbia university he declared to the world that there are no gays in Iran. Having met some flamboyant ex-Persians in the raunchier bars of this fair city I went looking for some counter-evidence. Well CBC Canada has done it already and here is the brave piece they put together. Eye opener indeed. Watch and learn Mr President because this is what happens to gay men and women in your country. Like these two young men in the photo (no, it's not a BDSM flick, it's the real horror) who were whipped 100 lashes when caught snuggling at home. See below the YouTube version or click here for better quality video on CBC.CA site . There are gays in Iran and some of them are real heroes . Would I have the guts to stand up in public and face such danger for the potential to be happy? Would you? Video Part 2 Video Part 3

Don't Ask Don't Tell Because We Don't Care

Image from Yossi and Jagger , a must-view film for any DADT fan Almos three years in America, land of the free, and I am still amazed by the fear and homophobia rampant in great parts of this great country. Today, while attending an important meeting in my washroom, I read yet another story of a US Army soldier who was brave enough to tour Iraq and Afghanistan three times (!!) but alas his attraction to bulging biceps and hairy male chests (ok, some women have that too) got him kicked out, disgraced, from the armed forces. The story brought back vivid closeted and un-closeted memories from my own 5 year tour at the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as an officer in a combat unit. No, I wasn't in the army's choir or orchestra, neither was I stationed as some General's secretary in a carpeted office, I did the real thing, dirty nails and all. As a young officer I joined an armored corps battalion and every few months rotated with my unit to another frontier: Gaza, Lebanon, the Wes...

Post Frisco

Back to Gotham after a long weekend in San Francisco. The official reason was a conference but we managed to shove some major sights and long nights to the stew. This weekend was about reconnecting, finding back our romantic loving selves, almost a salvage mission. Did it work? no clear answer. Some moments were amazing, exciting, embracing. Others were tense, wicked, almost nasty. It's like there are four people in this relationship, two of me and two of him (JC+, JC- and R+, R-). The resulting matrix is a complex combination of explosive love and vicious hurt. When one of us is loving and needing, the other is not necessarily playing the same role and these moments of of JC+/R- or vice versa are tough to handle. Scars are created each time and the worst possible combo of JC-/R- tends to come up more and more often. We talked about therapy, both individual and as a couple, maybe the answer lies there, maybe not. Crossing into our third year together the similarities that once uni...
