Dreams of bears and unemployment

Uncategorized, , ,

 I can’t remember the entirety of it, but I had a dream today which, in the last scene, showed me talking in bed, under covers and naked, with a nice-looking guy who is bald and as hairy-bodied as myself (save with a *much* longer, handlebar-like mustache and hair which is mostly dark reddish and curly).

At one point, we were relaxed and bantering with each other, my arm wrapped around his chest, the sunlight flowing into the large apartment/hotel bedroom window. 

Next thing, I can recall, as he was slowly getting up to straddle himself on top of me, the question about money came up. I am pretty sure that I was discussing my desires and ideas with him. Suddenly, he was all like "I don’t know why you’re so worried about that!" I responded, "Wait, don’t you have a job?" 

"Of course not!"

And at that point, the dream began to unravel as my hackles were raised a bit. I’m very sure that I began to hurriedly think of how I should present myself at a job, or what niche idea I should pursue in the IT industry, but it was to no avail.

I woke up with memories of a sexy, unemployed guy in bed with me, along with regrets about my current state of unemployment. 

Skin color in LGBT artistic porn

Uncategorized, , , , ,

 Being someone who identifies as gay but is hardly acculturated to the lives of gay and bi males in constant close proximity and density compared to those who live in more urbane areas, I can readily admit that most of my day-to-day experience with the gay experience is composed of perusing artistic, fantastical displays on the Web. I’m not as frequent in coming across photographic depictions of m/m and m/solo models, unless fantastical photomanipulations can count as photographic depictions.

Gay werewolves: a compendium

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Being in the furry thing for a bit, I think that the idea of the gay werewolf is a perfect androcentric counterpart to the lesbian vampire, which is why I’m surprised that the gay werewolf hasn’t been as fully utilized as an exploitation trope as the lesbian vampire in the 20th century.

So I’m glad that someone outside of the furry fandom has gone through the trouble of creating an imaginative painting of Obama turning into a werewolf while playing basketball.


Thankfully, there’s a queer werewolf anthology, a list of gay werewolf works on another LJ, a gay werewolf on Flickr, and (I’m certain) plenty of other extra gay werewolf content to be found through Google.

Queer as filk

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

I’m sure that only those who’ve gone to fan conventions have heard of filk music, a (meta-)genre that uses instruments in a folk-ish manner to provide music that lyrically celebrates the exploits of fictional characters which are also celebrated by the overall theme of the fan convention (science fiction, fantasy, furry).

So what if one could infuse filk music with LGBT-oriented lyrics and sentiments? Or, for that matter, what about general erotic content in filk lyrics?

I mean, with the plethora of yaoi-themed "’ships" and fanfics on the web, why can’t fandom music also take advantage of erotic and LGBT-oriented lyrics (and the accompanying liberties)?

I would call it "gayfilk" or "queerfilk", or something like that.

Plus, I ‘m sure that the filk offered at furry conventions could use such interesting interpserings of lyrical liberties as well.

Pro-Polygamy advocacy group doesn’t like the idea of “gay polygamy”

Uncategorized, , , ,

OK, CNN International has a documentary on polygamy around the world while I’m writing.

But reading this was pretty hilarious. The automatic repudiation of the very thought of gays and lesbians sharing the now-publicly-unpopular institution of polygamy with straight polygamists is pretty obvious, particularly in the heavy usage of the word "homosexual" (nowadays more used by conservative anti-LGBT activists) throughout.

But then I wonder, if this repudiation and the accompanying ill-will is unfounded upon reason, then has the idea of gay polyandry or lesbian polygyny been explored yet?

Let’s think…

Why doesn’t the ANC have a Lavender League?

Uncategorized, ,

I think that if the African National Congress claims to represent the post-apartheid era’s diversity (they already have the women’s league and youth league), then they should also accommodate those who have been sidelined even by the ANC until only fairly recently in the party’s history.

In my opinion, the lack of an LGBT-friendly presence of influence within the ANC’s organization speaks a bit about how the organization’s politics have stated a shallow, forced support for South Africa’s gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders. It may also be a translation of the demeaned stature of LGBTs in South African society, as they have never been fully or truly accepted as human beings by the populace both before and after apartheid.
