Video I love: That’s Gay – Commercials

Posted on August 31, 2009 by SloanParker

Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

A light look at a real absence of gay imagery on TV and some sad commercials that make being gay something gross.

I must admit, though, I do like watching the gay commercials on LOGO. It is nice to feel included in society, even if it is on a channel watched mostly by those in the know.

So tell me, what do you think? Do you wish there were more commercials featuring gay men and women? What types of content would make for positive LGBT images? Comment or send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else) that I’ve seen or read about recently. So here’s this week’s For the love of …

I am loving Michael Breyette’s art. It’s beautiful and inspiring. Check out his gallery, browse the on-line shop, or send a friend an ecard. Click the banner below to check it out. Please note: the site contains explicit gay imagery.

Here’s a description from the site.

“Michael’s pastel paintings capture the stunning beauty of the male form with warmth and sensitivity while never shying away from lustful eroticism.

This website contains fine art depictions of male nudity, gay themes, and men in sensual and romatic situations. Do not enter if you choose to be offended by this subject matter.

Otherwise, if you appreciate the male form in all its glory, come on inside and enjoy”

Enjoy, indeed.

Quote I love: One from me today … gay is good

Posted on August 26, 2009 by SloanParker

Once a week, I post a quote that I’ve read/heard recently. So here’s this week’s Quote I love …

One from my own life …

My partner and I were driving along the other day when I saw a huge rainbow. Rainbows amaze me. Such beautiful, colorful phenomenons of nature that reoccur with the same colors over and over. And a thought came to me. Rosie told me it had to be my quote of the week.

“Rainbows are God saying … gay is good.”

Video I love: The first kiss (Noah and Luke)

Posted on August 24, 2009 by SloanParker

Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

I was looking through my YouTube favorites today and I realized I’m still loving this kiss from As the World Turns.

Awhile back when I heard a soap opera was developing a gay love story for a major character, I wanted to show some support. I caught up with the characters online at YouTube which was the first time I had ever watched ATWT. Then I started recording the show. I see this as a major step for US daytime broadcast television and I’ll continue supporting the efforts of ATWT as long as they keep the couple going as a loving relationship between two men. Kudos to CBS, the producers, writer, and actors (Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann).

So here’s the first kiss between Luke and Noah (or as I so often mess up their names … Loah and Nuke).

So tell me what you think. Do you watch the show? Applaud CBS?
Comment below or send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

A snapshot from my own life

Posted on August 21, 2009 by SloanParker

Today, I’m loving my cat, Cordy.

This week, I’ve been busy with writing deadlines, family obligations, and home repair issues. It’s been a little stressful. Cordy is a simple creature, and sometimes, I admire that. She likes a good nap, being fed on time, and playing with her brothers. And plus, she’s just darn cute.
