Gays, its summer 2010 so... EVERYBODY TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS

We had the Village fucking People. I win/lose.

I saw the Mets beat the Twins on NY Pride Day.

my friend m4rk wrote about the superhero-themed spandex party we went to:

Here is my gift to gay ilx for the day:

Okay, I don't know for a fact that Eli is gay but I have taken classes with him and I'd be very very surprised if he is not. (No, I do not dance anywhere near as well as he does, needless to say.) The first same-sex partners to win this competition, and the first out of state couple as well.

Which one is Eli? The one with spangles or the other one with spangles?

Yo guys so a few ppl on Grindr have actually asked me if I bb or play safe, and I'm just like WAT????? Like, are there ACTUALLY people who go around making a conscious decision to bareback???? I though it was just some fucking stupid thing people did in the heat of the moment/on meth/etc, and not some sort of thing that they, like, EMBRACE. Do they already have STDs, or do they just not care, or do they think that STDs somehow don't apply to them? I'm just so confused and dumbfounded.

BB is soooo much more commonplace than most would think imo.

(And, yes, that dancer has fantastic spins.)

Not that it makes it any more excusable, but I can at least understand how if two people were drunk and really wanted to fuck but didn't have condoms, that they would just do it anyway. But to soberly go into these situations expecting to bareback just doesn't make sense to me. At all.

um, not to be TMI, but i BB all the time. but only with people i know really well. like, m4tt and i have never used condoms.

anyway.

I mean what scares me the most is not only people lying about it but also not even knowing. I mean if I was in some sort of situation where a person I was regularly having sex with was only having sex with me, and we both got tested, I'd be pretty OK with it

Whoops didn't mean to post that twice.

I've read about barebacking being, like, an actual gay subculture, possibly with some horribly dumb "political" "reasons" underlying it; those people need to stay the fuck away from me.

CURIOSITIES OF YOUTUBE, Pt.6

The friendship between MARC JACOBS and SONIC YOUTH is a highly visible one: KIM GORDON is usually front row at his shows, THURSTON MOORE has appeared in MARC JACOBS advertising, and the band performed KOOL THING at the designer’s fall 2008 show, the one that has gone down in legend for starting dead on time, causing most of the invited audience to miss the presentation. First flowering of this friendship can be seen by watching the video for SUGAR KANE, which features a fashion show by MARC JACOBS at PERRY ELLIS, the label for which he created the infamous grunge collection which got him the sack, but which solidified his reputation. It is best to watch this video in full screen, as otherwise the image is a touch small.

Reader Mr. 5T3V3 D01N4CK suggested it is also worth watching the videoclip that accompanies “How to Do That”, a song from the little-known dance album called AOW TOU DOU ZAT that JEAN PAUL GAULTIER released in 1989

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

i mean, in terms of the BB thing, it's not any sort of political stance or anything, in my case at least. it's more that condoms suck, and if i'm with a person i know really well and know FOR A FACT isn't poz, then i'm gonna let them do me without a rubber.

I presume BB isn't anywhere near as scary if you're a top, et al.

oh uh ps could that be googleproofed?

why?

i can't see what liking someone has to do with the decision to bareback with them. and how can you know for a fact that yr negative if yr sexually active and in the habit of fucking without condoms as long as you "like" the guy?

a few things:

- i get tested every fucking month, dude.
- i bb with m4tt and m4tt only, as of may.
- it's not like i'm getting banged by lots of dudes all the time. my ass ain't a shooting gallery. i'm talking, like, four people in the past 8 months, all of them good friends. so get off my fucking back.

is it bare?

so get off my fucking back.

or at least put a condom on

tabes, why are you so hostile all the time? He asked a honest question after you posted, "um, not to be TMI, but i BB all the time." You haven't provided all the info the first time.

i was hostile because he was hostile. i'm also in a crabby mood, sorry dudes.

:(

thanks alfred.

personally, if i didn't have a condom i would just not have anal sex. i'm not that fussed about it though.

and i'm not hostile all the time. notice that i joyfully expound the greatness of Chaka Khan upthread.

and jed, sorry, i just get really defensive about that sort of thing. no bad feelings.

xxp I'm in the same boat. I mean it's nice and all but there are plennnnnty of other things one can do...

it's cool, maybe i was a little hostile. once a month getting tested is a lot.

yeah! luckily it's free.

Not much gay-relevant news, but I think I have a boyfriend now?

would be my first one

pics!

or u don't have to, i'm just interested in what the lucky man looks like cuz i'm into that sort of thing.

great news, corey!

also, HEY DONNA ROUGE, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

xps There are literally no photos of him online. He's kind of a luddite. He does translation for a German company and writes articles for contemporary music review magazines.

COORREEYY!! WHEEE!! I am so so happy for you!!

:)

I am like sort of "seeing" this one guy but he is, uh, a bit older than me and it's not really a bf type thing.

I wish I had a bf type thing :/

Very happy for you, corey. See how quickly things turn around?

I know! Now all that needs to happen is I get hired at a new job and start school.

azzfucking generally bores me.

but more importantly, happy birthday, donna r!

in other news, i have lots of bleach in my hair right now. and later i'm getting a haircut, so short-haired blonde me will post pics soon.

Azzfucking is great. I'm to the point where it's hard for me to come without something in my butt.

maybe tmi, ah well.

ahem, cosign you there.
