Many of us here in the United States have most likely never heard of Nigel Owens unless you follow rugby, and to be honest neither had I until searching for material for another posting. But as it is becoming more and more important to find and highlight those who have come out, and for the [...]

In an article in the Sunday Herald written by Edd McCracken, a survey by the Staffordshire University has concluded that football fans are united in their condemnation of anti-gay attitudes, which has become a widespread and ugly side of the game, but it appears UK football’s top agencies are out of touch with the desire for [...]

Our friend David Mixner wrote a posting on July 8 about the FBI files which were declassified and released in May which as David writes focused mainly on the Mattachine Society and its members. We all know, or at least should, how J Edgar Hoover kept tabs on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and many others of that [...]

For those of you who haven’t heard (all two of you) the BITCH from decades past has come back to spread more of her homophobic bullshit, this time with “a little help from her friends” according to Truth Wins Out  . After failing at almost everything she has tried since the late 1970’s, former orange juice queen turned homophobe Anita [...]

Back in April of this year, James Hipps and I had Mike Rogers, the bear that always gets his in-the-closet anti-gay politican, on The Gay Agenda on BlogTalkRadio. Now MetroWeekly has done an interview with Mike and it’s worth your time to read. He’s not much of a grandstander. In person, he’s unassuming. He can laugh heartily, but he’s [...]

According to our friends over at MEDIAWEEK, ESPN has received the broadcast rights to ACC football for an undisclosed amount of money. The 12-year agreement also includes men’s and women’s basketball games, plus 22 other collegiate sports and televising conference championships. The rights begin with the 2011-12 academic year through the spring of 2023. Word of the deal [...]

Well it took some proding from GLAAD and members of the LGBT community but NBC has reversed itself on who will be able to participate in its upcoming “Till Death Do Us Part” feature. Over the past few days TODAY has received a considerable response regarding our wedding contest application. The rules stated that eligible couples [...]

You never know when someone will find something from someones past and put it on the I-Net. I came across this photo on another blog (guarantee it will go viral over the weekend) of Rachel Maddow … yes my beloved one. Sorry Rachel I know ( wink) you read the Focus On The Rainbow blogs but I couldn’t [...]

This past evening James Hipps and I had the pleasure to speak with Troy Michael Smith on the The Gay Agenda  on BlogTalkRadio. Troy is the 2010 Pittsburgh Mr. Gay USA, the 2010 USA Mr. Gay 2nd Runner Up and Pennsylvania’s LGBT Person of The Year for 2010.  This charming young man who is bi-sexual, is well spoken and [...]

It’s been a very long 11 months for Caster Semenya who had to undergo gender testing after becoming the 800-meter world champion. But as is being reported from Johannesburg by the Associated Press via ESPN, Caster will keep running as a woman. What was the saddest and most likely humiliating thing about this whole “gender-bender” debacle were reports [...]

Whether you’re an Olympic pin collector, member of the LGBT community or both you’ll be excited about this news which comes via a press release. Openly-gay Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas urged people to “wear their pin badge with pride and help us achieve greater inclusion in sport”. London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton said the pin [...]

Now many of us have heard the “rumors” about the porn industry and in particular gay/bi actors using (or abusing) prescription male enhancement meds. Now before you start with the obvious jokes, including the warnings in the TV ads regarding perky peckers lasting for four hours, there is a darkside to this believe it or not. [...]

This past week in our local paper was an article about a proposal to build a new ultra modern gym in a former retail site here in Danbury. One of the first things that popped into my mind was bis, gays and lesbians in the area must be thinking “ah a new hunting ground”. This [...]

According to media reports in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday a gay pride float which was going to be used in a Fourth Of July parade was set on fire and not only destroyed the float but also a building. It took 10 days to build the gay pride float. The plan is to make a statement by rebuilding [...]

Okay full disclosure … I went kicking and screaming into the 21st Century when finally buying my first computer five years ago after being downsized by CBS Broadcasting mostly, a) to keep in touch with cousins via email. b) not to lose all the computer knowledge I gained when working at CBS (you too will [...]

I don’t know if this can be classified as a first or will become precedent setting, but the Castleford Tigers rugby team has been fined over anti-gay harassing remarks from fans at a rugby game against out rugby player Gareth Thomas. UK rugby and soccer fans have always been known for their “less than sportsmanlike conduct” [...]

In an email earlier this morning I promised Rick, the webmaster and host of Sportsfags, I’d find something to post about today. As regular readers of Sportsfags and FOTR-Sports know, Rick posts sports stories for the “masses” while I try, for the most part, find something with an LGBT slant or an excuse to show some [...]
