Who didn't know this was coming? IMHO, any gay man who thinks praying to take away their gay should be sent to a gay sauna for one week with hot guys. If they can resist the temptation for that week, they are cured (for that week). If not, they are gay. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/02/06/ex-gay-crusader-who-publicly-bragged-about-being-cured-caught-trolling-for-men/

ps I went to Belo Horizonte on my first trip to Brazil. Not for the sex, though that would have been nice. My first BF's mother lived outside of the city and I had bought her a new porch, waster / dryer and maybe even a house. So, I wanted to check my investment.

Gay Belo Horizonte – Life's A Bar Here at Boy Toy, we like to tell you about great places you can go to get your gay on. And usually, we talk about cities with lots and lots of gay attractions where you can spend a week or more playing with your favorite boy toys. But, we also know that this is not the only type of gay travel you are into. Sometimes you want to learn a little bit about stopover points where you can spend a day or two before moving on – after all, not every place can be San Francisco! With that in mind, we thought we'd spend some time talking about Belo Horizonte, Brazil – where you can truly see beautiful horizons. While Belo Horizonte is the third largest city in Brazil, it is generally a stopover point for people seeing other parts of the country. But, just because you won't want to settle down for weeks on end doesn't mean you can't have fun. Belo Horizonte is very gay friendly, less expensive than Rio, and full of boys for you to play with. Navigating the city can be a bit of a challenge, because it was originally laid out as a grid, but then diagonal streets were added later on - so either stick to taxis or make sure the GPS in your phone is working so you don't get lost. Drink, Drank, Drunk There is one main reason why a certain type of tourist loves Belo Horizonte – because it's a great city to get drunk in. In fact, it has more bars per capita than any other city in the world – and is proud of this fact. So, when you come here, be prepared to get your drink on before, during and after you get your gay on. It goes without saying that with this many bars, nearly all the cruising is done indoors – so you won't have to hit the parks to find someone to hook up with. Many of the bars are packed with male escorts, so hooking up with them shouldn't be a problem. One minor warning; some of the bars are known for inventing a “cover charge” when there isn't one, when they see a tourist coming. So, if you are asked to pay money to get in, simply move on to another bar – there are plenty of them and it's not worth arguing with the one guy that's trying to rip you off. The morning after in Belo Horizonte can be rough, but luckily the bars have a cure – they will put fresh acerola puree into your orange juice, one of the only hangover cures in the world that actually works. Even one our most illustrious posters has said that if you go to Brazil and are only looking for sex that he would “highly recommend Belo Horizonte.” When you get a tip like that from a maverick, be sure to listen. When E.F. Hutton speaks…… The most popular sauna is Olimpo and you might need a Google map to find it. There are some very nice hotels that are very close to this and other saunas. The Gayborhood The gay scene in Belo Horizonte revolves around booze. So, it should come as no surprise that the main gayborhood, Savassi, is also the area with the most bars in this pub-packed city. You can bar hop around if you want, but many of the bars here also have beautiful outdoor terraces where it's easy to cruise while you settle back and let the warm weather wash over you. This is also the area where you'll find fliers and ads for the latest gay events, and you'll be able to get a sense of what cool things are going down during your stay. If you can book a hotel near here, that's all for the better since it will make staggering home that much easier. What To Do When You Are Sober Now, it's a shocking thought for this cockaholic, but there may be times in Belo Horizonte when you want to do something other than drink and scope out the night's tasty twink or burly bear. While there aren't a ton of tourist attractions here there are a few, so we'll talk about a couple things you can do if you stay more than a few days and need to dry out. The Alta Vila Tower is a great place to go and get a view of the city. When you are done looking at the skyline, you can go back to the ground floor and get a few drinks at the Hard Rock Cafe. For an even more sedate afternoon, head over to the Parque Municipal, which was designed to mirror traditional French parks. It has several lagoons where you can pay a small fee to rent a boat and feed the ducks – which is a more common activity in this city than you would expect. If you think size matters, why not check out the Museu de Ciencias Naturais, which features giant whale skeletons? Should you be in town on a Sunday, head over to the Hippie Fair, which attracts more than 100,000 shoppers a week. You can buy anything and everything you'd ever need to go to a Phish concert and if hipster boys are your thing, you'll be sure to find them here buying perfectly faded skinny jeans. Finally, head over to the São Francisco de Assisi Church – a piece of modern architecture so weird looking, it took the Vatican over 10 years to decide if they were willing to consecrate it. In the end, the weird won. Come On And Grab A Drink With Us In Belo Horizonte! Because you know you'll want to look at one of the cute boys and ask yourself, “Is he here because it's happy hour, or is it happy hour because he's here?” cc boytoy.com 2013

This truly is fabulous news. Although I did think that GB already allowed this? Didn't Elton John get married already?

Milk Sometimes a movie comes around that is so inspiring, it reminds you of old Hollywood before the cynical post-Tarantino era swallowed up independent film with its festival of violent snark. A good example of this is Gus Van Sant's beautiful, moving movie, Milk. In fact, the film is so beautiful that if you didn't know your history you'd be convinced that the director made it up. But, no, as we all know it is the story of San Francisco political activist Harvey Milk, a fascinating figure of both triumph and tragedy. Though, his story is just a cover for Van Sant to explore the history of the gay rights movement in San Francisco and to look at how that would eventually spread around the United States. What makes the film work so well are two crucial things Sean Penn's Oscar-winning performance in the lead role, and Van Sant's use of archival news footage to show exactly how strange things were before gay rights activism became a thing. That only 30 years ago newscasters like Walter Cronkite didn't even know how to pronounce the word homosexual correctly on camera says a lot just on its own. That Anita Bryant was able to go on television and hiss homosexual myths and slurs that even the most die-hard Republican would be afraid to say is astounding on its own. It's really hard to think just how bad things were back then, and the movie is brilliant in making you realize just how far we have come. The film's structure also works well. It starts out telling us that Milk will be murdered. Then, it goes back in time and it's up to us to just wait for it to happen something that brings a feeling of tension and dread to each and every scene as it plays out. And, the way it plays out is fascinating. It first flashes back to Milk and his boyfriend (played by James Franco) moving into a low-rent, heavily Catholic area of San Francisco called The Castro. But, this isn't the gay friendly Castro that we know today. Instead it's a neighborhood in need of gentrification, and not happy about who will gentrify it. When Milk first tries to set up his camera shop he's told point blank that other business owners will shut him down to keep gays out of the neighborhood. At this point Milk, who is 40 years old, has lived in the closet his entire life. You'd expect that his first time being confronted with society coming down on him for his homosexuality might push him back into the closet. It doesn't, and instead provokes him into vocal political activism. This is something he has to pick up on his own, but he does so, motivated by the frustration and anger that have built up over the years of hiding who he really is. It's interesting that Milk is not portrayed as a saint, but as a human being. He has some great ideas for motivating people and getting things done. He also, however, has some ideas that remain controversial to this day. One of them was his trademark of beginning every political speech with the line, I'm here to recruit you. Of course, that line has been used against the entire gay movement by homophobes to this day. His other controversial idea was to take the gay rights movement forward by outing people whether they wanted to be out or not. His theory that if people realized how many gay people they knew they would change their minds about gay rights is sound politically, but remains a bone of contention in the gay political community to this day. Of course, he did have other great ideas. The chief one was that the way to gay rights was to get other marginalized groups involved in the political discussion. He did so by getting hippies, artists and black groups to join him in his coalition creating strength through sheer numbers. His other great idea was to spur people just to the point of rioting, but then use his charm to stop them and turn the riots into peaceful protests. This earned him the respect of law enforcement groups and still more members of the community, who were happy to see a man who could avoid violence gain a level of influence. The movie plays out at a near perfect rhythm. He keeps coming into contact with the man who will eventually kill him (a Catholic father Milk is convinced is a closet gay) and they almost become friends. It's also interesting that it's not clear at the end if Milk's assassination was a political crime or one simply committed by a man who had lost his marbles after losing his job. (Rather famously, his killer would claim that he had eaten too much junk food and that had set him off, creating the concept of the Twinkie Defense.) But, at the end of the day, politics is the least important part of this film. It's watching the Castro grown and develop at the same time Milk himself is growing and developing. The film is inspirational and impossible to ignore. It's difficult to imagine a feel good movie about a man who will eventually be assassinated, but that's exactly what Van Sant has managed to create here. Milk is sensational. Watch it yourself. Watch it with your friends. Show it to your mom and your sister. Let people know where we've been, how much we accomplished, and how far we still have to go. It's what Harvey Milk would have wanted. cc boytoy.com 2013

ONLY 17. Wow. That is great. Can't wait to see more.

That is because you are a good sweet man. I am not. I would have fired this pig fucker Bob Grisham. Yes, I said it. Bob Grisham from Rogersville, Alabama is a piece of shit. I had teachers like this 30 years ago. They should all be retired now. This one is still there to corrupt the minds of our young people. Shame on him. Shame on the board that didn't fire him.

Yes, they gave Hitler a second chance as well. It didn't turn out so well.

Suspended without pay for ONLY 10 days. Good ole Alabama boys ey? http://timesdaily.com/stories/Board-suspends-Grisham-10-days-for-comments,202171

I have stayed here on my second trip to Thailand and it was a good place to stay. It is very reasonable in the rates and the location is great. It is very close to Tawan and the gay bars area.

I have not stayed in the hotel but I have eaten in the restaurant many times and enjoyed it. The hotel is very convenient to the gay area and Jupiter 2000. It is hard to find a better location than this or the Le Meridan.

I have stayed at this hotel in the past and had a good time. The hotel is connected to the sauna and if you are looking for the easiest access to the sauna, great massages and a real gay scene that is not a money boy scene, this place is great. My only concern there was the slow speed of the Internet but this was many years ago. I don't know if that is improved but I would assume the speed is much better now. I have also been there just to get massages. Even though the massages are NOT happy ending massages, I have a few rub and tugs over the years. But, this is NOT a place for that and most of the masseurs will not do that. It is not often a private room where the massages. The place is very clean and IMHO, the massages are some of the best Thai massages in Bangkok.

I hope he feels better soon as well. The flu has been bad this season.

bkkguy, I am not sure what problem you have with this. Many readers and many visitors to Thailand want to know what places to go and which ones to visit. You may be the most knowledgeable person on earth, know more about Thailand than anyone in Thailand but I am not and I am glad to get to know some places that I have not visited yet that are in a gay area or are gay friendly. And, if you do know all about these places, why not post your experiences or reviews? As you say they are advertisements, I disagree. I think they are lists to point people in the right direction. The site is not compensated for the listings. They are free and they are a way to help gay owned or operated or gay friendly businesses to get more business. What is wrong with that? As the honorable Jomtien said, if you don't like them, why read them? Skip over them if you don't like them. It is pretty easy to me.

I am very excited to see this new movie. It looks fabulous and having read ALL the Wizard of Oz books, including the ones in the series most of you have never heard about, this movie looks promising for an Oz fan. L. Frank Baum would be pleased.
