Milk - Gus van Sant’s biopic about Harvey Milk Premiered this Week
Filed under: activism, art, gay culture, men's health, spirituality, video
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay elected official in San Francisco’s history, elected as a Supervisor in 1977 (similar to being on a city’s governing Council, except San Francisco is a City and County entity in California). He was assassinated in 1978 by another Supervisor, Dan White, in a shocking and brazen murder, at the same time that then Mayor San Francisco, George Moscone, who was known as an openly liberal and gay-affirming leader. The film premiered this week at the famous Castro Theatre, in an opening right out of Hollywood.

Soldiers and Seamen and Leathermen and Hot Boys at Folsom Street Fair 2008
Filed under: art, fables of fabulous faggotry, friendship, gay culture, health and wellness, men's health, spirituality
Annually, San Francisco’s gay leather community and friends throw the world’s largest street fair dedicated to leather, sex and erotic fetishes, and classic fantasies: the legendary Folsom Street Fair, which turned 25 this year. I usually go and stay for as long as I can tolerate the mass of the crowds, which can get up to a few hundred thousand, and which covers 13 city blocks in the South of Market area, also known as SoMa. Although much of the event is meant to be provocative, I like going to see the creations people wear and celebrate with friends…then there are all of the sexy, hot men to see!
