When you least expect it, the ghost of Queen’s Freddie Mercury can possess you — or even 65,000 people at a time. While waiting for Green Day to start a concert at Hyde Park, the huge crowd abruptly broke into “Bohemian Rhapsody” without being prompted… and the whole thing’s caught on tape. It’s a kind of magic:
Are you a gay stereotype? That’s the latest burning question posed by LA-based writer and performer Michael Henry. Other questions presented: “Why aren’t I clickbait?” “How do I feel beautiful and femme, when femme guys aren’t in underwear ads?” Maybe it’s a little dark.
In the psychosexual thriller B&B, gay Londoners Marc and Fred plan for a weekend of mischief by pranking the Christian owner of a remote bed and breakfast. Maybe that wasn’t their best-ever idea. When another guest arrives, things take a way deadly turn and the stakes get terrifying — but the film continues to be titled B&B, anyway.
You’d think with as many significant medical breakthroughs we’ve made to curb HIV infection and to make HIV-AIDS a treatable chronicle disease, the long-held stigma wouldn’t still be plaguing the community. Not so. The depressing video below features real-life convos on Grindr, in which users deride openly POZ people with such comments as: “You should be ashamed, you’re a walking disease.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Remember ABC News’ Gio Benitez and his engagement to beau Tommy DiDario in front of the Eiffel Tower? As NewNowNext reports, their relationship is still going strong — and we have the exotic travel pics to prove it.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” seems quite a disconnect from Green Day’s style of music. I wonder what prompted that.
I’d noticed handsome Gio Benitez on ABC and my gaydar went off, but I didn’t know *officially* – nice to see this.

Unprompted? I wouldn’t call that unprompted. it is clearly playing on the speakers and you know if that song comes on, even an opera queen like me turns into a headbanger. (and I can sing it in Freddy’s key)

Congrats guys… what a great looking couple having an awesome adventure for many years to come!
See you on ABC soon!

GRINDR responses are rather vile. It’s one thing not to want to have sex with someone else; but the put-downs of HIV+ men are needlessly cruel.

It discourages people from getting tested at all. Plausible deniability. But of course, poz-but-untested guys have sky-high viral loads and are extremely infectious.
Mr-DJ
Um no. You cannot say “Unprompted” at the Green Day concert. In fact it is the norm for pre-concert (Green Day concerts) going back at least 4 years. It is prompted by tradition, and the fact the background music is played for that reason. Thank you very much.

I guessed about Gio but didn’t know. Great to see. I was hoping for Matt Gutman as well.

Gio has been out for a long time, even before he went to ABC. I’m pretty sure Gutman is straight. Such a shame.

Something about perfect couples just screams sooner then later divorces.

Love looking at these two. Absolutely beautiful human beings. I hope Gio is as nice in person as he seems on TV and I hope he doesn’t get his heart broken. One question for Tommy though… doesn’t it hurt to be in a constant state of “flex mode” all the time?
