OUTSPORTS PERSON OF THE YEAR: Adam Rippon It’s incredible to think that we hardly knew Rippon prior a year ago: “Yet if you weren’t paying attention to figure skating or the occasional article on Outsports or Towleroad, Rippon’s name may have eluded you. Forget about being a household name, “Adam Rippon” wasn’t on the lips of even most HRC diners or GLAAD Award winners in 2017.”

Oh how times have changed.

FRIDAY’S FEATURED HOTTIE  Sterling is captured by the phenomenal LA based shutterbug Kengi Carr who told Towleroad, “Well to be completely honest the major inspiration for my work is because I love being Black. I love everything about Blackness and Black culture. I’ve always wanted to do a series of photography with a Black man who is proud and unapologetic about his Blackness. Sterling (the model) is my best friend and together we’ve collaborated and created an amazing body of work which evolves each time we work together. Ultimately, we are creating a body of work which we will present in a book and photography show challenging stereotypes, myths and stigma involving masculinity, sexuality and other societal norms involving Black men.”

Florida Man Records his Landlord Kicking Him Out of Apartment Because He’s Gay: WATCH

Florida Man Records his Landlord Kicking Him Out of Apartment Because He’s Gay: WATCH

A man living in Clay County, Florida recorded his landlord on a cell phone telling him “you have to leave this place” because he’s gay.

Randal Coffman moved into his apartment at the beginning of December. The apartment is a room with a private entrance attached to his landlord Jackie Cooper’s home. They share a driveway.

Cooper began harassing him last week after finding out that he’s gay, telling Coffman, “You think I want homosexuals coming in and out of my place like that?”

Coffman recorded the bigot on his cell phone.

First Coast News reports: ‘Jacksonville’s Human Rights Ordinance, passed in 2017, protects tenants in situations like this, attorney Jimmy Midyette, who worked on LGBTQ issues in Jacksonville, said those protections don’t exist in Clay County. Cooper did not want to speak with us on camera, but she denied the accusations over the phone. She said issues started when he refused to provide a copy of his license. Both say no lease agreement was signed, it was a month-to-month verbal agreement. She also said Coffman’s guests would leave their cars on her property for days…Midyette said a homeowner can deny housing to any renters they choose, and under a month to month agreement, the landlord can kick out the tenant as long as they’re given 15 days notice prior to the end of the monthly period.  Cooper said she gave Coffman until the 27th, which is just shy of the 15-day rule.’

Coffman is searching for a new place to live.

#NoHomo? Str8 Guys Who Get Off With Their Bros Say It’s Not Gay

#NoHomo? Str8 Guys Who Get Off With Their Bros Say It’s Not Gay

BateWorld, now nine years old and 87,000 members strong, has been called “Facebook for masturbatorsSlate magazine reports. The aim of the site,  is to promote and encourage male masturbation.

While the majority of users on BateWorld are gay, it’s also attracting a rise in users who identify as straight.

Slate did a survey and saw that out of the 86,840 members on BateWorld, 50 percent identified as gay. 10 percent (8,355 members) considered themselves to be straight. 30 percent said they were bisexual, 4 percent solosexual and 5 percent did not indicate their sexual orientation.

“But that 10 percent claiming to be Str8 is significant,” says Slate,  “Based on higher rates of public closetedness among bi men, we can even extrapolate that a healthy portion of those who list themselves as bi are not publicly open about their bisexual identities. Then there’s the 5 percent of members who have chosen not to identify. So I’m going to estimate that anywhere between 15 and 30 percent of BateWorld members are straight in the world outside of the bate. That’s a lot of not-gay dudes with profiles on a website for men who like to masturbate with other men.”

One voter was quoted as saying: “No. Being homosexual is an attraction. You can bond and bate with a bro and not want a homosexual relationship.”

Another user, when asked by Slate whether the sexual orientation of the man turns the experience from homosocial to homosexual, said: “I usually find more common ground with straight and bi guys since there’s usually firm ground rules and we can usually share more about what we enjoy together.

“We all have and want to share our cocks so don’t overthink it. I think it’s important all parties establish and respect boundaries, whether sexual or otherwise, and that you act as authentically as you can for a mutually good time.”

Full Recovery Expected For RBG After Lung Cancer Surgery Today

Full Recovery Expected For RBG After Lung Cancer Surgery Today

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery today at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in New York for early stage lung cancer, according to NPR. Doctors performed a lobectomy, removing one of the five lobes of the lung.

According to a press release from the Supreme Court:

“According to the thoracic surgeon Valerie Rusch, both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant on initial pathology evaluation. Post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently, no further treatment is planned. Justice Ginsburg is resting comfortably and is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days.”

 

She’s expected to make a full recovery.
