So… the Mormon rubes think that it is women who will be buying their calendar?

The HIV study just seems to point out that anal sex is riskier than vaginal sex. Um, duh!

Umm, WRONG LINK! You've got the "Chris Crocker explosion!" link going to the "Gay men’s HIV+ stats can’t be chalked up to whorish behavior:" link! FIX!

ProfessorVP,

You're forgetting about all the closeted Mormons :)

If the accusations against Miranda Grell are largely true then she’s a sow who should be driven out of politics. Using these sadistic smear tactics is shameful and unlawful.

GLBT members of Labour, and all parties ought to mount a campaign to kick her, if she’s guilty, and anyone else who has a history of antigay bigotry out of their parties. If local and constituent groups had a petition to this effect to vote on then the question could be raised at conventions.

If it wins and the bigots are booted out that will change the internal life of the parties for the good. If not then maybe our brothers and sisters in England need to consider building an independent left of Labour party. There is some sentiment to do that because of Blair’s pathetic role as Bush’s lapdog in the oil piracy in Iraq and more than a few trade unions are getting very tired of the deals LP makes with the ruling rich at their expense.

Such an effort will of course lead to the removal of other LP politicians, but could end up annihilating the leadership of the Conservative Party.

Most vloggers (is that the right term?) turn my stomach. My first thought was that Crocker was just another Hilton/Sledd/et al. who should've been drowned at birth. I'm not so sure now. I think I'm almost growing fond of our little androgyne brother. I hope he's savvy enough to exploit his fifteen minutes.

Roberts, no doubt you include Steve Young? The quarterback who finally found the right girl? Quite a search.

isn't this "unacceptable" for mormons? to them, sex was the original sin in the garden of eden. sex and sexy is something NOT looked upon favorably. i fail to see where young girls can't wear make-up, but these men can take off their shirts and pose seductively?

either it's a REAL bias toward men, or this is fake (like those fake "straight boy" pornos)… a set up, of sorts.

Dawster: It is sort of unacceptable for Mormon men to do this. They're never supposed to take their "garments" aka funny Mormon underwear off (except to shower, have sex, etc). So, this would be frowned upon…for that reason and other reasons…but also it is unseemly to be turning people on with your body.

This should come as no surprise to anyone, but the guy behind the calendar, Chad Hardy, is himself a gay Mormon…(or former Mormon probably), but he's definitely gay.

I'm also sorely tempted to buy one of their "Ii heart mormon boys" tshirts. Surprisingly, they're available in men's sizes!
