I have little sympathy for those that are closeted but preach something different and this includes politicians and clergy. At the same time, I remember being in the closet and avoiding contact with anything gay as to not give myself away. It is such a hard thing to do (coming out) and I would never out someone. I was so terrified that I did some really crazy things. Some I regret. I grew, I learned and I moved on with my life. I was lucky to have people that were supportive around me. Not everyone is so lucky. When I ran an escort service in NYC, the biggest weekend ever was when the Republican Convention was in Philly. There were many speakers who talked about homosexuals in a very negative light and the boys and I watched the speeches and laughed. I remember one boy in particular who had just fucked a man in Philly for the night and he was a major part of the convention. The man booked 2 other escorts for overnights that week. They were such hypocrites. Some have since been outted and some have come out. But, it was not up to me or the boys to do that. An escort's job is to be discreet. That is important no matter who the client in. IMHO

Sites I know well: http://www.homeaway.com - decent listings. http://www.vrbo.com - Not good for long term tenants but great for short stays. http://www.shortstaybrazil.com/ - Good for Porto Alegre but the costs are high for the area. I might do one for a short term to find a place there. Tomcal gave me several of these as he is well versed in everything Brazil. I have been in touch with all 3 of them for a few months and still found nothing. I had one on VRBO but the lady said I would have it for one year but needed to move out for Carnival. LOL http://www.coelhodafonseca.com.br/ - real estate agency in Sao Paulo. Great stuff http://www.belavista-rio.com - Rio but most of the apartments are not by the lady who runs the site from USA. It might give you a good idea of prices and rates though.

I have tried for a few years to find a place in Brazil for long term. It is getting even harder so I am going to rev up my efforts. I'm asking for help, advice, websites, friends, contacts, bribes, etc. Anything to find a very good but slightly reasonable place in Rio, Sao Paulo or Porto Alegre. I like Barra, Ipanema, Leblon in Rio. I like to be close to LaGoa in Sao Paulo. I'd love to be downtown for Porto Alegre. Not to picky if the place is fabulous! I need help. Please donate to the cause. For the person that finds the pad, lots of bear hugs and sloppy kisses (not required). Plus, I travel a lot and would happy surrender my place to you for 2 weeks! So, be sure to find a place you would also be comfortable in and not get mugged or robbed or raped (although I am OK with the latter if it is from a sauna boy of your choice and you are a willing participant). Any help is GREATLY appreciate! http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7501-what-is-best-way-to-find-an-apartment-in-brazil/

I need a happier outlook! I'll try my best to see the Vienna Boys Chorus.

I loved her Newsweek cover. She looks like she is getting ready to take on America. The Iowa straw polls came out and I can see why they love her so much. This video should help others understand who this power couple really is. Or, not. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/360abd38db/behind-the-scenes-of-michele-bachmann-s-newsweek-cover?playlist=featured_videos

I went there this week and they are really very nice. The rates on the website are very reasonable. The breakfast is good and the apartments themselves are well done and clean and modern. The gym is decent and has all equipment needed. It is a short 8 minute walk to Emporium Shopping and they have a Tuk Tuk to take you at your convenience until 10PM each night. I stayed at the Marriott apartments on Sathorn for a year and loved it. This is the same quality but a bit newer. Lots of restaurants and eateries in the area. You will get a very reasonable long stay rate at this hotel.

I keep looking at place and the rates are crazy in Rio and Sao Paulo. But, I would love to find a long term place in one of those cities are in Porto Alegre but not speaking the language, I am limited to where I can look. Then, they find out you are American and they want more. So, where are the best places to look to find a place?

I did take some boys to Sugarloaf once and they had never been there either. They enjoyed it as much as I did. Or, so it seems. It is pretty amazing that so many have not been up there. I guess like living in LA and not going to Santa Monica Pier or NYC and not going to Empire State Building. Tomcal, as always your adventures are amazing and are much appreciated.

You are kidding right? No one deserves a good slap. Well, unless they make a remark like that.

Very diplomatic and smart answer Khun lookme! Thanks.

There are many on this board that seem to believe that ladyboys are not gay. The thread has been evident in the one about Obsessions bar. Do you think that ladyboys are gay? Do you think that men who have sex with ladyboys are gay? Please explain why you have come to believe this.

Since you are here, does your guys offer "special massage" and do you have photos? thanks.

There is simply no comparison. The burgers at Corner were once very good. I went there often to enjoy them. The quality went down a great deal and the last 3 times I had burgers there, I didn't finish the burger. Bangkok Burger Company is a real restaurant and not a bar that serves burgers to customers. When Thomas is there, Corner bar does a great job, when he is not, the food is not up to even OK quality. IMHO

Thank you so much for the recommendation. I cannot tell you how many times I've tried to become a wine connoisseur. I guess if I were into better food, I might enjoy wine more. I don't think wine will go to McDonald's or Burger King. That being said, I do like to cook and I do like to experiment. And I am always offered wine and champagne when I fly. From now on, I'm going to say yes every time I'm asked if I would like a glass of wine. This would at least get me started in knowing what I like and what I don't like. Thanks again for your advice and I will let you know how things go as I progress in learning to develop a taste for wine.

Text is easy to add to any page depending on how the website is built as well as the knowledge of the person trying to change the text. I am not a programmer so I am not good at changing text on any website if it is in a position that requires I interact with the server. Most of my websites are built with PHP and therefore it is not as easy for me to make changes. If you are using Dreamweaver or a another program that makes it easy for you to change every webpage then yes it would be an easy edit. However, if the owner of the website does not have first-hand knowledge of how to make the changes on the webpage, how to interact with the hosting company, and all the passwords that are needed to make the change then it is not as easy as it sounds. When I build a website for a client I tell them that the most important thing is a well organized and easily manageable administration area. If you have a great administration section for your website then all changes are going to be easy. The website in question is off to a great start. It looks good. It has great photos. And it has great potential. It is obvious that they launched the website before it was finished. I think we should give them a few weeks in order to complete their project. I look forward to seeing it.

After I ate at this restaurant the other night, I was talking to some guys at the fitness center that I work out at and I told them about the restaurant. Today when I saw them, they said they went to give it a try and thought that it was the best hamburger that they had tasted in Bangkok. I'm sure that since this restaurant is very new that they will have a few kinks in the system but, it is a very interesting place with delicious hamburgers. If you are in the mood for a good hamburger, check out BANGKOK BURGER COMPANY.

Yes, if you don't remember the mother you need to see it again. The mother was one of the best characters in the movie, in my humble opinion. The very end scene was one of the best in the movie. The mother came out as her son was dancing with his boyfriend and she gave the look of death to anyone who dared look at them cross eyes. She then took the hand of one of the other female characters and started to dance. Many years ago when I 1st came out, I took my mother to see this movie. I actually took her to see the movie, on the exact same weekend that I came out to her. I was 28 years old and had never been so scared in my entire life. This movie took the edge off of a very intense weekend. So I guess I have very special feelings about this movie for many different reasons.

I think it sounds good. I'll give it a try for sure. Thanks.

But, hey, I was in Bangkok getting ready for the thong night and I thought I'd wear my black socks as not to offend the white socks friends you have. However, when I went downstairs my hotel, a group of cute Singaporeans took me with them to DJ station.

Sorry Gaybutton, when they saw you coming in that thong, they closed the doors and pretended no one was there.

Pong, it is interesting you say that as the burger joint we went to the other night, the owner kept telling us he prepared the portions for Thais and not falangs. That is why he recommended that we get the larger burger. He also talked several things about Thai customers. Lastly, there were many others tables filled and at least half were from Thai customers. So, I can now see that scene and understand what that happened according to your statements.

Speaking of brave mothers, did you ever see the film "Beautiful Thing." It is great and I love the mother in that movie. IMHO, a real tough cookie!

I also think that there is more to this story and you won't really get a great answer here unless we know the history. That said, I would recommend going to the tourist police and asking for advice. They may be able to give you a heads up on what would happen if you report to police. However, I feel you do need to do something. If you do nothing, it will make you a bigger target from this same group. IMHO

Well, since I have some wine experts, I'll ask something I have always wanted to know. I have always wanted to enjoy drinking wine but I don't like the taste. I drink no alcohol. No beer. No wine. No hard liquor. Nothing. I just can't seem to enjoy the taste. Years back I tried to get into the habit of finding a wine I would like and bought a different bottle every day for the BF and me and I never found one I like. Well, there were some German Reisling wines I liked. They were sweet and I liked that, but could never finish a full glass. Also, I do like very nice champagne but can't drink a lot either. I have never been drunk. I would like to try it one day. What would you recommend for me to be able to get into enjoying wines? It is something I have always wanted. I send wine monthly to family in USA via online but never partake in sharing. Any advice? (other than give up trying)
