Wordsmiths T Cooper and Felicia Luna Lemus certainly have their own storytelling styles, but these lovers' respective works follow similar trajectories. Nothing is every permanent in their stories.
The sand shifts at the precise moment their protagonists seem to have it all worked out. Their impermanence bleeds into everything, from family history to gender and sexuality to interpersonal relations. Lemus’ new novel Like Son follows Frank, a thirty-year old who has to unearth the meaning of a photograph his dying father hands him.
In Cooper’s Lipshitz 6, or Two Angry Blondes, recently released in paperback, the 100-year-old history of a family starts in the pogroms of Europe and ends with the last offspring impersonating Eminem.
This queer couple's unique manner of brandishing the written word make them a perfect addition to The Style Issue.
We sent their friend and Queerty contributor, James Withers on a mission to mine their minds for a look into their literary idiosyncrasies, the evolution of their relationship and the difference between German and American readers. And, as we find out - um - straight away, this trio has more in common than just writing. They all love gay porn. Who knew?

Things aren't looking so good for affirmed pornographers and accused killers, 25-year old Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, 33. The not-so-gentlemen were arrested last week for the murder of Pennsylvania-based bareback producer, Bryan Kocis. And it's looking pretty premeditated.
The web-based porn duo wanted to hire a porn star named Sean Lockhart aka Brent Corrigan. Unfortunately, the late Kocis had Lockhart's rock hard cock locked in a contract.
Rather than waiting out the contract, web-based porn producer Kerekes and his rising "star", Cuadra decided to kill Kocis, a damning affidavit says. The 21-page . Because, you know, that's the logical thing to do...
An affidavit offers the appalling details of how Cuadra and Kerekes met with Lockhart, offered to kill Kocis and proceeded to carry out the murder. Read all about it, after the jump...

Constable Christa Pennie may have been raising the home of a Hell's Angel, but that doesn't mean she couldn't have a bit of fun. The Canadian officer got her rocks off with antics, such as putting dental floss in a gargoyle figurine's mouth and downloading a desktop image reading, "I love gay porn". How clever.
Pennie told a disciplinary board that she intended to erase the desktop but "forgot". Hopefully she'll remember to cough up the 20 hours of overtime she's been fined.
Speaking with the press, Pennie said she regrets her trickster ways: "My actions did cause me to lose a lot of sleep over the weekend as I was very upset with myself". We're sure...

Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes have been charged in porn producer Bryan Kocis' (pictured) brutal murder. Police found Kocis' mutilated, charred body back in January and instantly followed a trail to 25-year old Cuadra, an alleged escort who emailed Kocis hours before his death. Cuadra denied his involvement, of course, but police kept digging.
Their investigation led them to Cuadra and Kerekes' shared home, from which authorities took a gun, computers and DNA samples. Cuadra and Kerekes, however, were no where to be found. They were picked up yesterday morning in Virginia Beach and have now officially been charged with murder, conspiracy, arson, burglary and abuse of a corpse, among other things. Police suspect that Cuardra and Kerekes - who run some naughty websites - attempted to steal Kocis' star actor, but Kocis resisted, which led them to kill him. Sheesh, don't these people have agents?

Porn mogul and editorial critic Michael Lucas has finally replicated his penis so that you too can experience the horror joy sensation of his well-publicized rod.
An authentic replica cast directly from his very own uncut shaft and balls, Michael Lucas' Official Dildo exquisitely details every vein and curve of his world-famous member.That's too easy...
...
Michael Lucas' Official Dildo is made of non-toxic, hypo-allergenic silicone.

Former gay porn star Matt Sanchez may claim to be straight, but it seems the conservative hero's up to his old tricks. A reader swears that he stumbled across Sanchez's horntatically homo Manhunt account, the optimistically entitled "Wrist_Thick". Obviously intrigued, our reader asked Wrist_Thick for more pictures and received the image you see here. That certainly looks like Sanchez, who claims to be straight.
You may recall Sanchez garnered endless ink after being feted at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Marine reservist Sanchez claimed that his peers at Columbia University picked on his army-loving ways. Some eagle-eyed homos, however, recognized him as gay porn star, Rod Majors, who starred as a top in such films as Jawbreaker.
According to Wrist_Thick's profile, however, he can "get into fucking". He also informs Manhunters that he's not into blacks or Asians. Ah, discrimination: the great American tradition:

Also, it's worth mentioning that Sanchez claims to be 33-years old. We all know, however, that he's got a few more years on him: three, to be exact.

Michael Lucas knows you want to know every detail of his day. That's why the ageless porn mogul posted a very special rundown of his actions on May 8th, 2007. It's a pretty typical day. Lucas has breakfast with his boyfriend, runs his highly successful business and chats with a lovely German mag, EreXXXion. Nothing spectacular.
Until around the five o'clock mark. That's when things got heavy...

Porn mogul Michael Lucas does not approve of our preferred picture of him. Thus, he had flack Bryan Christopher - why do all gay Bryan's spell their name with a 'y'? - send us a small selection of Lucas-approved shots.
We're having a terrible time deciding on which one will become our new Michael Lucas-related visual. They're all just so Lucasrific! So, darling and opinionated reader, we need you to make the decision for us.
We've pasted the three pictures after the jump. All you have to do is tell us which one you prefer and it shall be done. Careful, though, Lucas' emotional range borders on stunning. You may not be able to look away. Kind of like Medusa. Only without the snakes. Hey, that could be a good look for Mr. Lucas, don't you agree? Maybe not for summer, though...

Michael Lucas certainly has cause to celebrate. The pouty-lipped porn mogul can continue distributing his porn epic, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita. You may recall International Media Films Inc. filed a lawsuit claiming Lucas' skin flick encroached on Federico Fellini's similarly named classic.
On Friday, a judge ruled in favor of Lucas, saying that [it] seems extremely unlikely that a hapless purchaser seeking to buy Fellini’s film will inadvertently stumble across ‘Michael Lucas’s La Dolce Vita.’ Reacting to the verdict, Lucas told Wall Street Journal's law blog,
From the beginning, this case has been more about anti-gay and anti-sex prejudice than about well-founded legal claims. I am thrilled about this ruling and I hope we can now get this whole unnecessary distraction behind us.For those of you interested in the nitty-gritty, click here to read the entire court transcript. It's riveting.
35-year old Lucas has also been celebrating his new column in The New York Blade. This week, Russian born Lucas spilled some ink on his favorite subject, "anti-semitism" in the gay community. Lucas opens by wondering why so many gays support Muslim causes:
I’m disturbed that the world gay community is increasingly anti-Israel... How can gay people side with the Muslims who want to kill the Israelis?Because every Muslim wants to kill Jews and fags. And, of course, ever single Jew in the world loves gay people. CONTINUED »

An employee at the Israeli consulate has quit after Page Six blew up his porn spot. Dror Barak - whom you may know by his Raging Stallion name, Roman Ragazzi - quit earlier this week after Page Six started digging into his dirty background:
[Barak] worked in the administrative offices of the Israeli consulate while moonlighting as a "model" and gay porn star.Barak made clear in his email, however, that he does not work as an escort. Except when the script calls for it, of course... CONTINUED »In e-mails to an interested party looking to hire Barak for "modeling" work abroad, Barak - who at first identified himself as Ragazzi - said, "I am single. I work at the United Nations in New York. They don't know about my other job, and that's how it should stay."
Barak told the party, "I need to know that I am not wasting my time here. And this is for real. I will need you to purchase a ticket for me online with American Airlines."

No doubt the world of porn qualifies as wild. With all those hot bodies, infinite positions and dirty imaginations, the adult film industry is one monstrous jungle of sexual kicks. But what happens when those kicks get political? Can the lascivious be judicious?
Gaytanamo drew fire even before anyone lost precious fluids. In early January, The Washington Blade accused Jersey-based production company, Dark Alley Media of “fisting their way out of the Geneva Convention.” Here at Queerty, we wondered why Matthias von Fistenberg and Owen Hawk chose to name their porn after Guantánamo Bay: the controversial American holding facility where terror suspects are subject to psychological and physical torture. Hawk told us:
Gaytanamo does not trivialize peoples suffering, but uses images and representations in order to attempt change in perception.Now, Queerty contributor James Withers offers his take on Gaytanamo conflict, after the jump. CONTINUED »
...
When we are put in front of the reality of our own violent desires, we are no doubt uncomfortable. But it is precisely because [we] are not put in front of these desires -- and therefore never get to understand them -- that policies born out of this repression, a la Guantanamo, are even possible.

We've long been fans of The Bitchless Blog—Matt Fondel's opinionated weblog masquerading as a messageboard written by a bunch of young, white, rich prettyboys who hate everyone female and anyone else who's older, poorer or darker than they are.
It probably bears mentioning that Fondel is a black man, by the way.
Besides offering satire on a scale that would make Sacha Baron-Cohen jealous, Fondel's posts often explore hot-potato issues that gay mainstream media won't dare touch. Were it not for The Bitchless Blog, we might have assumed that the recent murder of bareback porn king Brian Kocis was an open-and-shut case. The young porn wannabe Harlow Cuadra (pictured) did it; case closed. But the Bitchless boys know what shit smells like&emdash;and they weren't having any of it...
