[@derickyyy]

Real Dudes Party Nude The connotation (emotional feeling) behind the phrase “that’s so gay” is always negative. It is used as a synonym for “dumb” and “stupid” and “weird.” That’s why it’s offensive. It is equating gay with something wrong.

[@fistpump64]

If you enjoy Gay, Coming of Age videos and stories, you’ll want to read Cameron DeCessna’s latest book, Clay Parker: Growing Up Gay in 1953. It’s the story of a fourteen-year-old boy confused by his feelings, thoughts, and dreams as he reaches adolescence and finds his sexual interests are for other teenage boys. But it's 1953, a time of conservatism and rigid family and moral values. To top off Clay's problems, he's an orphan forced to live with an abusive aunt and uncle who openly show their distaste for the lad who was severely burned when a house fire killed his mother, father, and younger brother. They would be the last persons he could turn to, to help him cope with his alien feelings. This is the story of Clay's troubles, trials, and final triumph as he strives to find a family who will love him after he is forced to run away from home after a severe beating by his drunken uncle. One part of the story deals with Clay's uncomfortable experiences listening to a sermon at his aunt and uncle's church. He discovers the real meaning behind the story of Sodom & Gomorrah and how it demonstrates the Bible's condemnation of being queer. The book contains graphic sexual descriptions that may not be suitable for children under 12, although it would be highly recommended reading for gay teens to raise their awareness of the struggles of adolescent gay boys in earlier times. Cameron DeCessna is a gay novelist best known for his Jordan Dare Trilogy, released in mid-summer of 2018 and available at Amazon Kindle Books. While the Jordan Dare series is written for all readers, 12 and up, and has no adult-only content, some of DeCessna's works are more suitable for adult readers. This novel, Clay Parker: Growing up Gay in 1953, is the first of several gay, coming-of-age stories the author plans to release in late 2018 and 2019. DeCessna, born in 1951, writes from personal experience and vividly captures the difficulties faced by gay adolescents during those times. Look for Cameron DeCessna’s books and visit his author’s page at Amazon/Kindle Publishing. Clay Parker, like Boy Erased, would make a wonderful motion picture.

Stonewall didn't start anything. San Francisco in particular led the charge for Gay Rights. When Stonewall occurred, the New York press gave it national coverage: and thereafter, led by San Francisco, the varied and disparate efforts coalesced to form the modern Gay Rights movement. San Francisco has been at the vanguard of the movement, while New York has been largely absent. The New York press is trying to hijack history and recast New York in the role that San Francisco actually played in the struggle for Gay Rights. Undeserved and Stolen Valor!!!

The stonewall incident has absolutely nothing to do with sexual preference and everything to do with race....Stop comparing homosexuality to the brutality and inhumane treatment that Foundational Black Americans have always received in this country.....Personally I don’t give two shits about your sexual preference....keep your bedroom activity to yourself in the bedroom.....Nothing to rally or march about....LGBTis the fakest non movement of the 21st century.

[@hmenef]

Paul Sanders At the time of the Stonewall raid there were several other gay clubs that were operating that were predominantly white and they were not targeted......Additionally the Stonewall incident was centered around a club that was run by the mafia and they were the subject of law enforcement attention because of the prostitution and other criminal activity that everyone knew was associated with the club......Furthermore, the black lesbian woman who was the one that was assaulted by the police was not assaulted because she was gay but more so because of the color of her skin and I think it is absolutely disrespectful to even attempt to compare what Foundational Black Americans have endured in this country to individuals who have a predilection for sleeping with people of the same sex.......there is absolutely no comparison and often what I see within the LGBT community are white people who are just as racist and deplorable as heterosexual white supremacists.....I have no tolerance for this bullshit movement that leads absolutely no where and I would much rather that you keep your bedroom activities to yourself.
