Nutcase preacher Pat Robertson seems to think COVID is God's punishment for homosexuality and abortion! If you can stomach it... https://www.towleroad.com/2020/04/pat-robertson-covid-19/

A discussion of Billy Graham? I don't find that, but a homophobe hospital set up and currently running in Central Park by his son...is that what you mean?

Good exercise video, SAS! It's just missing a key ingredient- the dildo!

Here's a NY Times article on Bosch and another show that looks good, Fauda. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/arts/television/bosch-fauda-review.html?action=click&module=Features&pgtype=Homepage Clip: “Bosch” is a show of small but persistent pleasures, and they remain intact. The writing is literate but natural. The manifold story lines, including the problematic mayoral campaign of the police chief (Lance Reddick) and the coming of age of Harry’s daughter, Maddie (Madison Lintz), now interning at the civil-rights law firm of Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers), dip in and out of one another seamlessly. Welliver and Hector, and Welliver and Lintz, create relationships so quietly believable, it’s as if they’re in the room with you. NYTimes

Perhaps I should give it a try!

Adam, are you three months late in responding across the board, or just this one?

The President of the United States of America is endorsing right-wing protesters who want to disobey the orders of Democratic governors during a national pandemic. No one wishes COVID-19 on Trump or the protesters, but don't they significantly increase their chances when they gather close together, many with no facial masks or other protection? Do they think that their guns will protect them from this disease? Troubling times are ahead if Trump continues to act so unpresidential. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-04-18/coronavirus-protests-texas-maryland-wisconsin-cuomo (I guess the cigarette is meant to ward off the virus?) Social gun distancing!

My response to seeing the headline was "Aren't we all!"

Voices are rising in opposition to the homophobic policies of this group: New York state senator Brad Hoylman said. “That said, the federal government has put us in the unfortunate position of having to accept charity from bigots like Franklin Graham and at the very least I think it’s government’s responsibility to ensure that he follows the law.” Hoylman has requested that the Mount Sinai hospital network ask Samaritan’s Purse staff to sign a non-discrimination agreement acknowledging their understanding of New York’s human rights law. But he still fears the organisation’s presence in the city will cause “incalculable” damage. “I do fear that we’ve given Franklin Graham a platform in one of the most famous pieces of public land in the country to spew his hatred of LGBTQ people, and unfortunately at the same time legitimise his homophobia,” Hoylman said.

I love the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly. I have read them all. But I could not watch the TV show as the actor playing Bosch just did not fit with my image of him from the novels.

Our plans for a July trip to Rio are now canceled. It's going to be several months, if then, before the city is capable of handling tourists again. Or so I think.

He says he has. But Huffpost.com says that's a whopper. For one, the US population is about 330 million people. Read more: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-saves-billions-us-pop-350-million_n_5e9bd2bec5b6ea335d5cb120

STRAIGHT STREETWORK BUSINESS THRIVING The LA Times reports that heterosexual street walkers are out in full force despite the epidemic, and johns want more for less! https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-15/los-angeles-sex-trade-coronavirus-fears It seems as if the gay escort business is way down as a result. But hookers on LA streets like Santa Monica Boulevard left long ago. Perhaps JKane can advise better on this. Street workers in Vietnam...undated photo

CIRCUS of BOOKS Movie on Netflix Out on April 22d...the bookstore itself closed in 2017. This LA bookstore closed in 2017. It was very popular. I was once a big fan...but a movie about it? I guess I'd like to see it! Here's an article about the closing: https://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2017/06/circus-of-books-the-final-chapter.html There was an art exhibit devoted to it: https://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2019/03/the-circus-is-coming-to-town-a-review-of-circus-of-books-at-fierman.html

I thought I would post together some suggestions rather than create separate threads for them. I love to surf the internet, and find many things I like to share here. But it's not "The Lucky Pub" so I don't want to have too many threads with my name on them. (Someone will no doubt tell me when there are too many!) My first one I will title BUZZ AND TOMMY- What's The True Story? It comes from the several websites. A picture of two very handsome guys, perhaps taken around 1949... So, what's the story? Were they lovers? Is it a good-bye note, perhaps at the end of summer? Your guess is as good as mine. Blogger Andy Towle posts some suggestions and invites yours: https://www.towleroad.com/2020/04/life-guards-buzz-tommy/

Schock continues to shock. The latest is a photo of him with other fit men partying in Mexico. Some consider it tone deaf given the coronavirus. But those guys sure are fit, even if one of them can't spell quarantine! https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-aaron-schock-mexico-resort-quarantining-instagays-20200415-k7s42zrvjfdezdtxfwasxfrmne-story.html

That was very diligent of you! Plus we got to remember the once prolific poster EXPAT.
