The companies that I actively promote are reputable companies that protect their models.<br /><br />A great example is Boycrush.<br /><br />Andy Kay has spoken at length about the measures they take- at the expense of the company to make sure their models are HIV negative and safe. Likewise Helix and even foreign companies like OTB Video make sure the models are safe.<br /><br />Yes there is a risk- no matter how safe one is...there have been cases where undetected herpes has been later found on one former model at one of the companies I promote but in the two years that I have doing Borderboys I have not heard of one case where a model from one of the sites I promote got HIV after filming.<br /><br />Personally I am not a big fan of bareback sex at home. When I was young I did it with my lover at the time and got <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002258/">Epididymitis</a>- which basically swells up the testicle to the size of a large orange so aside from the HIV risk I am hesitant to bareback, even with my partner of eight and a half years just because I don't want to experience that again!<br /><br />There are a lot of people that publicly denounce bareback sex- both publicly on websites and allegedly in their private lives but the fact of the matter is a lot of people these days- especially if they are boyfriends and both test negative do it bareback.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTDoFzTCG27LQbZd8IM62XVrg6JnivJ6L5iCOJVXZDdJgE71kV2U2oL-6lWJFgNdZdfxYAbX6J0rlmJwMSFfXCFxyGAHIuR60633JMUmepjbESKZ4qrTHsgtOZNkg1iUHdkO0RBA4Jak/s1600/tn_01.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTDoFzTCG27LQbZd8IM62XVrg6JnivJ6L5iCOJVXZDdJgE71kV2U2oL-6lWJFgNdZdfxYAbX6J0rlmJwMSFfXCFxyGAHIuR60633JMUmepjbESKZ4qrTHsgtOZNkg1iUHdkO0RBA4Jak/s400/tn_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583976257990349874" border="0" /></a>And I have seen this myself- I<span style="font-style: italic;"> won't get into what performers or former performers I have seen on a personal level barebacking as a rule...those who really know me can probably guess who I am speaking of..</span>- adult performers publicly denounces barebacking and yet do it themselves in the privacy of their homes and out of the public eye.<br /><br />As far as the facials - even when it is a condom scene, from what I understand at the studios I have a lot of contact with it is usually up to the models themselves how they want to end a scene.<br /><br />Again let's use Boycrush as an example.<br /><br />I know for a fact- based on the conversations that I have had with a lot of their models that both Andy Kay and Bryan Kenny never force models to do things that most would consider unsafe. And I feel like since we are dealing with legal adults it is on the individual model if he wants to take the risk of cum swallowing.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjalhWbNwmhquasUJ2yYcyexkBDAqaTAwS8kS9g33FxuiutHPq8inG-Z9qUdM-4o-nSr8u8mEYKd9AdhBazGyK7nPgyqUdCUQKNGaCR6NBWgSttfKm2zfHbYMD-kvHrof1dVQyy6nFLl_k/s1600/condomandfacial.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjalhWbNwmhquasUJ2yYcyexkBDAqaTAwS8kS9g33FxuiutHPq8inG-Z9qUdM-4o-nSr8u8mEYKd9AdhBazGyK7nPgyqUdCUQKNGaCR6NBWgSttfKm2zfHbYMD-kvHrof1dVQyy6nFLl_k/s400/condomandfacial.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583979445069562178" border="0" /></a>Almost no studio uses condoms for blowjobs because statistics have shown for a long time that unless a person has open wounds in the mouth there is not a gig rate of transmission in precum and vid fellatio..I have to check it out but I do believe that there is a higher risk to straight people and lesbians having active oral sex with a female partner...not sure on that so if I am wrong I stand corrected.<br /><br />Now why such a lax attitude towards the risk of HIV these days?<br /><br />In the 1980's I was just graduating high school and was just entering adulthood when AIDS reared it's ugly head.<br /><br />Prior to that we did everything- as kids we didn't have a lot of access to condoms so I would bareback then and "swallowing" was not a big deal.<br /><br />But when it hit...and in 1985 I lost a friend who was a grade behind me in school to the AIDS virus we all started taking being safe seriously.<br /><br />Most of the people I knew, including myself, practically wore a body condom when having sex back then. Before medical science (the the government decided it was ok to stop killing off the queers because it permeated into the heterosexual world) and HIV medication prolonged life people stopped fearing it I think.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg97s0w7rAPRFrb8zUoSRsuzvv1hfiD92vSE8poe3iEacqCxuimeVUjEdc9sMv9nC56pjnbLcY6ixy8gi0iW8OkryoIoRmoCn76QxlBYGffAv7R1zIzm_-9P5V-nfLgpOzf6Nq9t96gHW8/s1600/hiv__oPt.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg97s0w7rAPRFrb8zUoSRsuzvv1hfiD92vSE8poe3iEacqCxuimeVUjEdc9sMv9nC56pjnbLcY6ixy8gi0iW8OkryoIoRmoCn76QxlBYGffAv7R1zIzm_-9P5V-nfLgpOzf6Nq9t96gHW8/s400/hiv__oPt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583980102579587650" border="0" /></a>For most, unlike the 1980's and in to the 90's it was almost a instant death sentence, I think the fear is gone or at least not in the forefront of the minds of youth especially that were born well after the time where AIDS was killing hundreds worldwide a day in the 80's.<br /><br />Medication has prolonged live and in fact I know people that are HIV positive that have lived with the disease for over 20 years now.<br /><br />The fact that it isn't a death sentence anymore and that it can be managed- like diabetes- for most people with medications is the number one reason why I believe people take the risks on film and in private as much as they do today.<br /><br />I do get some flack for promoting bareback sex sites...but again let's get real here. I am not the person running the studios. My job- at least as I envisioned it when I started Borderboys was to honestly watch and review scenes from a consumer point of view without being a moral majority leader.<br /><br />In other words I understand that bareback sex sells and many enjoy that so just because in my personal life it is usually a no no I will not censor it on the blog and jump on the bandwagon. And for many in the industry that is what it is- again I have seen public adult entertainment figures proclaim that they are against bareback filming yet do it in the privacy of their own lives.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZY42agzGht9Rebs8CYG4vD0qjhHvcRLgXb2g6lWLiHuHlQThAA0of4BanvY1miiwOTKkEF46tZ7bd2h5h_sV0eHeEntUkyvrZ0LGi_jaA4Pjh2mHrAXE3AyV4w76sIcoyAaBnCaG7SO4/s1600/man-drinking-smoking-pot.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZY42agzGht9Rebs8CYG4vD0qjhHvcRLgXb2g6lWLiHuHlQThAA0of4BanvY1miiwOTKkEF46tZ7bd2h5h_sV0eHeEntUkyvrZ0LGi_jaA4Pjh2mHrAXE3AyV4w76sIcoyAaBnCaG7SO4/s400/man-drinking-smoking-pot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583981490723498482" border="0" /></a>Rather than condemning studios that film bareback my big issue is the health of the models- especially if they are exclusives- when they are not filming. I know a current model from one of the main sites I promote that proclaims, on his personal Facebook and his performer one what he drinks to get fucked up and what he smokes.<br /><br />I think it is the responsibility of the models- and somewhat the responsibility of a company that signs them as exclusive representatives of their sites- to at least in the public eye present themselves as living a healthy chemical free lifestyle. If I was an adult performer I would be very wary of doing a scene with someone I know gets fucked up a lot and has sex. Let's face it- none of us, straight, bi or gay, make wise choices when it comes to spur of the moment sex especially if we are under the influence of some chemical.<br /><br />So all in all Kevin I think what has changed is the fact that one doesn't die soon after getting HIV these days so the fear factor is not as in your face as it was for me in the 80's and into the 1990's.<br /><br />And for many sites it is a matter of economics. I can tell by the rate of subscriptions on my blogs and the donations- that are few and far between that studios almost have to present the types of material subscribers want.<br /><br />There are many that just love bareback and cum swallowing scenes and especially if it has an amateur feel to it and if that gets subscribers in the door, companies who are already struggling to stay afloat because of the effect of piracy of their material on the internet almost have to present that money making genre of gay adult entertainment.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">I hope it sufficiently answered the question and I invite others who read this to offer their point of view in the comments!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">THANK YOU KEVIN FOR TAKING HE TIME TO WRITE IN AND ASK OF OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS I HAVE RECEIVED THIS YEAR- I REALLY DO HAVE SOME OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT READERS ON THE PLANET!</span>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-53595331194947886452011-03-12T07:10:00.000-08:002011-03-12T07:14:26.149-08:00JAPAN 8.9 EARTHQUAKE- THE DAY AFTERYesterday it didn't take long, here in San Diego for the insane Christian Taliban freaks to go out and start proclaiming that the horrific 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami was indeed Armageddon.

As these plates butt into each other, pressure builds and builds. Then, very unpredictably, that pressure releases. The release of such tension causes earthquakes, and the sudden lifting of the seabed triggers the tsunami.<br /><br /></div><div>And that is what happened.</div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, I just couldn't even think about posting about adult material yesterday. Living in a coastal area, we also were under an Tsunami advisory and I was glued to the fine live coverage of the event in both the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698">BBC</a> and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/aljazeeraenglish?feature=ticker#p/u/2/nZKKP44b7ao">Aljazerra English network</a> (<i>probably one of the best not state run sources for real news from the world and the Middle East</i>)- that is continuing today btw, and was heartbroken for the people of japan because I could see devastation like that occurring right here at home if the worst happened.<br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzy4hxCFDOr9TW5dvOLAESLPAGrWHIwGljwJLXs-9a-3bCeVSweCRbCxTolr30fAZ2Wutiqps0MR_yo1_NliOf-6f7bq8qKolvRwE49X_ANtrF_7pdVFGF7Qm5STN-9A8y3ZzzNaGXv0/s320/cat-island-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583204298585983858" />I won't take your time by posting the horrific pictures of the disaster here or recounting what happened...there are plenty of surces for that.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I am concerned with one little satellite island in Japan known as "Cat Island".</div><br />“Cat Island,” officially known as “Tashiro Island” is an island near Ishinomaki City in Miyagi Prefecture… and yes, to answer your one burning question… it’s covered in cats.You can get from Ishinomaki to Tashirojima (Cat Island) vis a ferry.<div><br /></div>Apparently, cats on this island are way more populous than actual people on this island. </div><div><br /></div><div>There are approximately 100 residents on Cat Island, and most of them are over 70. </div><div><br /></div><div>One person is 37, and everybody else is over 60 years old.

He and Vivian Vance, who played his wife Ethel in the series, had great chemistry on screen, but in real life had a dislike for each other. This was attributed to her vocal resentment of having to play wife to a man 25 years her senior, which she took as an insult. When he got wind of it, it offended him so he never forgave her.<br /><br />The two co-stars were given the opportunity to move into their own "Fred and Ethel" spin-off once Lucy had run its course in 1960. Despite his animosity towards her, Frawley saw a lucrative opportunity and was game, but Ms. Vance nixed the idea, having no interest in ever working with Frawley again. He never forgave her for this, since the series could have made him extremely wealthy.<br /><br />William Frawley next hit it big on My Three Sons 1960 in his role as "Uncle Bub" O’Casey, a role he played from 1960 to 1965. The original premise for the series was for Frawley to be the show’s star, overseeing three nieces, but the network decided to switch the kids to boys, then snapped up Disney’s top movie star Fred MacMurray as the lead when he indicated interest after they offered him a preposterously shortened work schedule, relegating Frawley to another supporting role after all. <div><br /></div><div>Frawley reportedly never felt comfortable with the out-of-sequence filming method used on My Three Sons after doing I Love Lucy in sequence for years. </div><div><br /></div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl-IIcjz7MRDWvkfSAqhxr4AA22mGw2tM1Jo8A-9R_VTRorYu-8vuR5Dz-H0mKQjiz0S6ZbZbygpXSMeCqxxNjhQ1e0kvAwEA3L-iDfcG4Xa8f1y5PmFodmQ-WT00YdXtuZU82CVsrJ7k/s400/6077486.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578078807429917346" /><div>Most television series are filmed out of sequence, but My Three Sons was unusually so, to an almost surreal degree: each season’s episodes were arranged so that series star MacMurray could shoot all of his scenes during a single intensive two-week period; Frawley and the other actors worked around the absent MacMurray the rest of the year. It was a very different experience from the sequential filming schedule of ‘ ‘I Love Lucy’ ‘.<br /><br />By almost all accounts, Frawley’s off-screen personality was not that much different from his on-screen demeanor. A notorious misanthrope, with one brief failed marriage behind him and a fondness for the bottle, he lived in the same bachelor apartment most of his years in Hollywood.<br /><br />According to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Desi-Arnaz/dp/1568492545">Desi Arnaz’s memoir "A Book</a>", Frawley eventually lost his driver’s license due to drunk driving, and befriended a cabbie who drove him around regularly.<br /><br />When deciding whether to hire Frawley for the role of Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy, Arnaz made it clear to him that, if he showed up drunk for work, he would "work around it" twice, but after that, Frawley would not only be fired from the program but blacklisted throughout the entertainment industry. Frawley, whom no one would hire at that point, readily agreed.<br /><br />He never showed up drunk to work, and in fact, Arnaz became one of his few close friends.<br /><br /><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbOUqF2C4EAE1z0HmFIZMs-H9se1ApS8Ejia9nc-0SgJ4l50jun5aEjaHjmNrFq2nz38ior3GkC6j97t_67s07FyOgG7brCc72U7U_c7B94ScvHEL02gr_i2RrlRJ3mCu5AEFskRtU3Qw/s320/wiliam-frawley-star-on-hollywood.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578080800806950162" />Poor health forced Frawley’s retirement. </div><div><br /></div><div>He was dropped from My Three Sons after the studio could no longer obtain insurance on him. </div><div><br /></div><div>He was angry about being let go, and developed a dislike of actor William Demarest, who replaced him, accusing him of stealing his job. </div><div><br /></div><div>(One of his final performances was an October 1965 guest appearance in Lucy’s subsequent series The Lucy Show (1962-1968). <a href="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lJqBVBUI2bs/0.jpg">Right click to see pi</a>c.<br /><br />He collapsed of a heart attack on March 3, 1966, and died, aged 79.

To be fair I went to YouTube and listened to some of his music and...well he sings good but I am not into a little white kid acting like a little black kid and quite frankly his style of music is just not my cup of tea.<div><br /></div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_o2mj6roQJIVNABZNLn4zDHjVnL_qCuJM3Wf7ayWWHyDdQLt8-AqX8jiqwhp_YM0XmmInI9hJ3cvg6o6NtZVmRAPVTEeniB9J-vm22ke6hiTKOR0LaeOVuHXLZmrOEa9IBnwDN8HwSnM/s320/516XP4JSRBL.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576912866010168690" /><div>Yesterday on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/philip.racuel">my Facebook</a> I posted a few songs by <a href="http://www.casselliot.com/"><b>"Mama" Cass Elliot</b></a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>My partner and i were playing a station on I-tunes and randomly heard a Mamas and Papas song and it got me thinking about Cass and how she defied what the music industry, especially today, will sign as an artist.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cass always had a weight problem that was glandular and despite the rumors she never choked on a ham sandwich- she died of heart failure way too young and at the peak of her solo career. She was an incredible singer and quite the entertainer.</div><div><br /></div><div>It got me thinking about pop music today and what sells...or better yet what is sold to us and especially youth. Lady Gaga and acts like Justin Bieber sell. Gaga is a manufactured star now that is like a present day Madonna and Bieber...well let's get real here.</div><div><br /></div><div>If he was an obese 17-year-old he probably would have never been signed to a record deal. The reason people like that boy so much is because of the cuteness factor (something I really don't see at all btw).</div><div><br /></div><div>Whether it is a teenage girl or boy or an oldie that lusts after teen pop stars it seems that there was more of a buzz about this kid when the paparazzi caught him shirtless on a beach rather than the quality of his music.</div><div><br /></div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 271px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilr9CRh3jflQNtjVZ-DfGwv9Kgkvfx8nuoEWlIM5adnJjgbC-qiBs9C837WLcPEZvF7qGxTQ-UpnQxM8BTdiG8CACqNTylC8GQ4RUfQSNwS0ADCFZt2AjjkGkfLEHjNXdJPi44CYtn9kA/s400/Fat+Justin+Bieber.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576918415718882754" /><div>Not to rag on what singing talent Bieber has but seriously if he looked like he does in this photoshop picture and had man boobs in those beach shirtless pics do you think half of more of his avid fan base would still be there?</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't think so becaiuse today with all the media outlets online, on the TV and even on our phones, with the popularity of music videos they have to have singers that are visually appealing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Look at the group from the 80's and 90's Wilson Phillips and member <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnie_Wilson">Carnie Wilson</a>...partly for health reason but mostly to make sure she was able to advance the career especially on TV she had gastric bypass surgery and just last year was struggling with her weight again in <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20343531,00.html">this People magazine piece</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>This woman too has an amazingly beautiful voice yet sadly when you put her name into YouTube or Google you find more articles and videos that have to do with her weight loss or gain then the music she made and her singing talent.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lucky for the people in the 60's and early 70's that they didn't have MTV and that female musicians didn't have to dress up like ten dollar whores on a street corner to sell their music...the world embraced Cass Elliot because not only was she a great entertainer she also was one hell of a great vocalist.</div><div><br /></div><div>So go ahead and love homophobic Justin Bieber just because you fantasize having tjis twink naked in bed with you. If that is your scene that is on you. I prefer to judge talent based on vocal ability not a cuteness factor.</div><div><br /></div><div>It just makes me wonder how many chubby boys and girls have tried to get a record deal with an amzing singing voice but was turned down by record company executives because they were too fat or not pretty enough to sell their CD's.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sad really that there is probably hundreds of talented singers that will never get a break in the United States just because of that while this little wiggery twit makes bank because people think he is a hotty.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>To read more about the life and career of Cass Elliot </b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dream-Little-Me-Life-Elliot/dp/1556525885"><b>right click here</b></a><b> to check out the biography seen in the first pic in this post today!</b></div><br />Here is a song with Carnie Wilson singing lead vocals:<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JssRGQMAk6Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />And this is a great song by Cass Elliot when she was shedding the "Mama" part of the name so she would be respected as solo act Cass Elliot.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BadYaNipWh8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br /></div><div>GO AHEAD CHUBBY SINGERS...LIKE CASS SAID- "MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC!"</div>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-70607293741926278372011-02-19T15:29:00.000-08:002011-02-19T16:33:24.249-08:00FUCK YOU JUSTIN BIEBER<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSXFNpphu_jLpSH6T5L8Xe81n5BrGIRBU3C6dVOR9ylQ2ZLPUZIAdxOvBCOrgEFt5q7-n8kuGwBm1ZH6hkWmH-zlOFv20BUxuiSFzGFvK2n1KjxhGGdVBKnZ6Zt66SVsugjlAwwcAm9kM/s1600/rollingstone0402.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 361px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSXFNpphu_jLpSH6T5L8Xe81n5BrGIRBU3C6dVOR9ylQ2ZLPUZIAdxOvBCOrgEFt5q7-n8kuGwBm1ZH6hkWmH-zlOFv20BUxuiSFzGFvK2n1KjxhGGdVBKnZ6Zt66SVsugjlAwwcAm9kM/s400/rollingstone0402.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575547327144813282" /></a>Sorry I haven't posted here in forever but I really didn't have too much to write about...well actually I do but the time isn't right yet.<div><br /></div><div>Today however this trailer park looking singer- Justin Bieber pissed me off in his Rolling Stone interview.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/02/17/justin-bieber-being-gay-is-a-decision-and-abortion-is-wrong-even-as-a-result-of-rape/">Pink News reported the story</a> like this:<br /><br /><i>In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he appeared to label homosexuality as a choice rather than something that is uncontrollable.<br /><br />He also spoke out against abortion even when pregnancy is caused by rape, saying “everything happens for a reason.”<br />The interview for next month’s Rolling Stone magazine has been distributed via blogs.<br /><br />When asked what his views on homosexuality are, Bieber responded: “<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#33FF33;">It’s everyone’s own decision to do that.

</div><div>Here is an excerpt from a piece from November 20. 2010:</div><div><br />
</div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people were once again subject to the whims of homophobia and religious and cultural extremism this week, thanks to a United Nations vote that removed “sexual orientation” from a</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"> resolution that protects people from arbitrary executions. In other words, the UN General Assembly this week voted to allow LGBT people to be executed without cause.</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><br />
According to the International Gay and Lesbians Human Rights Commission, the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee on Social, Cultural and Humanitarian issues removed “sexual orientation” from a resolution addressing extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions this past week in a vote that was overwhelming represented by a majority of African, Middle East and Carribean nations. </span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><br />
</span></i></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545104723045518306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxiLbqH5cGdLtv_oc-q7iXIauYSCc04EUSFdmwhmJLkhZ1iMVqqsK4CQ1hRRQSXbq3OFfDYhYXT5CZQT4Q_k1RNmTh00ZE7Pg9y8ROrugkewYDZPptVjAnqPiUwGjby2PyCbakfi-GVdA/s320/irangayteens3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 320px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px; width: 216px;" /><br />
<div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">For a UN committee that addresses human rights questions that affect people all over the world, by removing protections for LGBT persons from a category of arbitrary executions, belies the objective and purpose of a committee whose focus this year is “on the examination of human rights questions,” according to its website.<br />
<br />
A number of LGBT human rights advocates were surprised by the decidedly lop-sided vote, including Mark Bromley, the chair of the Council on Global Equality, a Washington, D.C. based organization that brings together human rights organizations, LGBT groups, philanthropists and corporate leaders to ”encourage a clearer and stronger American voice on human rights concerns impacting LGBT communities around the world.”</span></i></div><div><br />

</div><div>As for me I am not surprised- the UN should be ashamed of itself because it, in effect, has just sanctioned state justified murder without cause and left unprotected many gay and lesbians in African, Middle East and Caribbean nations<i>. </i></div><div><i><br />

</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #93c47d;">Shame.</span></i></div><div><br />
</div><div>This is a short video telling you about the two boys that were hung- just for being gay...and the United Nations apparently thinks this sort of thing is ok.</div><div><br />

<br />
...and all this on the video is in the name of a god or a religion- believe me if the Christian Taliban had their way in the United States queers would be strung up as well here...think that is crazy?

Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.[1] It is sometimes casually referred to as Turkey Day.</b><div><b><br />In Canada, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October, which is Columbus Day in the United States. In the United States, it falls on the fourth Thursday of November.<br /><br />The precise historical origin of the holiday is disputed. Although Americans commonly believe that the first Thanksgiving happened in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, there is some evidence for an earlier harvest celebration by Spanish explorers in Florida during 1565. There was also a celebration two years before Plymouth (in 1619) in Virginia. There was a Thanksgiving of sorts in Newfoundland, modern-day Canada in 1578 but it was to celebrate a homecoming instead of the harvest.</b><div><b><br />Thanksgiving Day is also celebrated in Leiden, in the The Netherlands. A different holiday which uses the same name is celebrated at a similar time of year in the island of Grenada</b>."</div><div><br /></div><div>There you have it!</div><div><br />Oh and this is probably the most dumb ass Thanksgivinbg moment in history!<br /><br />Remember this?</div><div><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eYxn2vlhtWo?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eYxn2vlhtWo?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Her out was that she just pardoned one turkey...not the rest getting their heads put in the grinder!<br /><br /></div><div>With that....</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm4g2DrMwvZH8Y56jm9mRGLyL9ibZY14i1qdJxSGEoI4XH5Y9nQPZz7t8l5mWrZXottdrovfp1UADu82oOj8RW0Ll4TjgI2OtfrUnJ0nZHskWvx1uwsseZzzbn8ziw-lyc8PXJWBDIAtY/s1600/Happy_Thanksgiving_from_KDandC_80wide.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm4g2DrMwvZH8Y56jm9mRGLyL9ibZY14i1qdJxSGEoI4XH5Y9nQPZz7t8l5mWrZXottdrovfp1UADu82oOj8RW0Ll4TjgI2OtfrUnJ0nZHskWvx1uwsseZzzbn8ziw-lyc8PXJWBDIAtY/s400/Happy_Thanksgiving_from_KDandC_80wide.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543548116902493122" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-41543626585813642992010-11-22T09:13:00.000-08:002010-11-22T09:13:40.334-08:00THE SEXUALIZATION OF JUSTIN BIEBERI am getting some real bizzare questions on my Formspring...so I want to just mention something about it this morning before I get set to do the Borderboys post.<div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJWBKxe_val3pLUUtTKFzXAgiz8G5mQpt6dJBj2ZeyfFIbz8z6uBcERnky8eP3H1Prcles2Eo8PSAsOmNrc38fJtIOXzYNmIRycxeeqXpiS8FmrbckhfSlLpdj0_1LKTmBn9yq9tKwfM/s400/sexy_justin_bieber_1.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542403583141248146" /><div>The latest were a string of questions about<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Bieber"> Justin Bieber</a>. Now quite frankly until tjis morning I never really listened to anything this kid did so I just knew his name and not his music.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the questions asked "<b><i>Do you think Justin Bieber is well hung?</i></b>"</div><div><br /></div><div>My response <a href="http://www.formspring.me/ChuckyBaer/q/1638976076?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=shareanswer">on my Formspring</a> was "I don't listen to Justin Bieber and quite frankly barely know who he is - not my type of music. I really don't care about his cock size but I bet he looks good in drag."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Just look at the cheekbones...I can see him all painted up and doing a show at a local gay club in the mid west lol.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seriously, until today I never really bothered to listen to his music. It just isn't the type of music I like . I have seen him on interviews and every time my gaydar goes off like a three-alarm fire siren.</div><div><br /></div><div>The kid sings good but the music industry made sure they write him songs to appeal to teenage girls. Everything is heterosexual in the music biz when it comes to a male teen performer.</div><div><br /></div><div>As I looked around Google this morning I couldn't get over how many fan sites, l<a href="http://justinbiebershrine.blogspot.com/">ike this one on blogspot</a>, spend more time talikning about shirtless- photoshopped or taken by paparazi, then his music.</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipxLfi2VObNdPsm5ygglsowgpwSuWaSoPp4x_vsYWgtln_hL_syGUc-8JilF7Yk6C9JK-DEfXkg9ETiQzd-ycysU63bwDVN9Zk1s0IHdrMhL1cbT4gtF_YLcEJixkBRZsu7Ec4rGZXStw/s400/13445_121745804534723_100000979110355_118112_663779_n.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542409182273639922" /><div>At the <a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/winners-announced-for-the-2010-american-music-awards-109791354.html">AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS</a> Justin Bieber taking home his first-ever AMAs winning 4 total, including Artist of the Year!</div><div><br /></div><div>Alright the guy does have a good voice but you have to ask yourself- if he was a hundred pounds heavier and didn't have the drag queen perfect face and the fit body would this 16-year-old Canadian twink be as much of a sensation as he seems to be?</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't think so.</div><div><br /></div><div>No offense against this kid's talent...he clearly is a good singer but herein lies one of the hypocriosies of our world. In the music business they almost encourage teenage girls and others to sexualize mid-teen performers like Justin Bieber to sell him to a fan base.</div><div><br /></div><div>But if someone posts random pics of guys his age on blogspot, in speedos, suddenly they get a suspeneded account on most blog sites because they are sexualizing underage boys.</div><div><br /></div><div>But in cases like Justin, the Jonas Brothers and so many others it was the sex and the wondering- like the ano0nymous person that asked the question- what lies below the belt, if he shaves his pubes like his armpits and a myriad of other things that have absolutely nothing to do with his musical talent is what the music promoters really want people in their teen celeberties fan base to pay attention to.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hell it seems it has gone so far with this guy that people are even making Photoshop Justin Bieber Fleshlight ads...</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TCAx04n6rzhOh9zMHnIajBiWniA9X1d9p69HrOSfK5orXxsLQHHon7ArHK-OjZmaQwtbhXRs35-BMBJg3rC9PQy5KJkgpY4n4k0H4mAUTMU3wnw9ZAmGG51HRQFIQMBDi-Kvl619RHM/s1600/Justin-Bieber-Fleshlight-Fleshjack.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 172px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TCAx04n6rzhOh9zMHnIajBiWniA9X1d9p69HrOSfK5orXxsLQHHon7ArHK-OjZmaQwtbhXRs35-BMBJg3rC9PQy5KJkgpY4n4k0H4mAUTMU3wnw9ZAmGG51HRQFIQMBDi-Kvl619RHM/s400/Justin-Bieber-Fleshlight-Fleshjack.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542411300710943842" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>...<a href="http://fleshone.com/justin-bieber-fleshlight/">right click here</a> to see the article.</div><div><br /></div><div>This singer is 16-years-old and I guess because the music business wants to sell him as a sex object it is alright.

He could have come off as openly guy but mainstream but he chose to perform and present himself like the nelly, queeny stereotype most straights think we all are.</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe one day the music biz will wake up and understand that there is a market for one of these teen singers- who are obviously gay to be themselves and sing songs that gay teens can relate to. Until then teens will be shoved in the closet and presented as heterosexual to the masses of screaming teeny6 girls to sell them.</div><div><br /></div><div>It makes me wonder- in the back of the minds of guys like Justin Bieber, whether he wins awards because of the music or because girls, boys and dirty old men (<i>and I am sure some women too...yes adult females get into teens too...it just isn't as prominent in the news</i>) want to see "how hung he is" or secretly sexualize him.</div><div><br /></div><div>As for his music- it's not my style but he is a talented singer.</div><div><br /></div><div>Concerning my Formspring- please don't ask me to comment on the cock size of under age people- famous or not. I put the thing up so readers could ask sensible questions or Borderboys readers could ask questions about performers or the reviews I write. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh and don't write in and say, "<b><i>Chucky you sexualized Justin in your post</i></b>".

There are also kids that survive like the young man in the Huffington Post story...you really need to go watch the video report on that as well.<br /><br />There are calls by gay activists groups, celebrities and others for stricter bullying laws and other measures to attempt to help kids like Seth.<br /><br />But what is never addressed is homophobia when it comes to who should be there to help young gay teens like this boy.<br /><br />I know of no where in the United States where there is a gay adult male mentoring program for gay teens and their families. These kids can talk to professionals- many times hetero but excepting themselves. But the gay teen really never has...unless they are on of the few and far between that have an adult gay family member- another adult male mentor...preferably ones like me that suffered years of abuse by homophobic peers in junior and senior high school and survived.<br /><br />You may ask yourself, why is that?<br /><br />Well it goes hand in hand with the same homophobia that other teens use to bash gay teens. There is this conception that if a gay male is involved with gay youth there is immediately something sexual involved in the older adult males mind. You don't find this type of stereotypical thinking in other situations.<br /><br />And because of this thinking many gay males, who were survivors of teenage abuse by homophobic bullies, care about kids like Seth but hide in the shadows because there is no organization or mentor program that I know of for gay teens suffering homophobic abuse in the home or at school.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdm1l9nIPH2oMz6IwHXhuCbW8MMf-QgrS2i2nO-jGfXS5e39jKsaQgTpJT-62WBBmdvg2RXy_1PcqodSQFZP_BFZPgvexJTCxvqhzHRhPuJG5hoescbHZTb9WVntXruiBeY73MLU-1qO8/s1600/sad-teen1.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdm1l9nIPH2oMz6IwHXhuCbW8MMf-QgrS2i2nO-jGfXS5e39jKsaQgTpJT-62WBBmdvg2RXy_1PcqodSQFZP_BFZPgvexJTCxvqhzHRhPuJG5hoescbHZTb9WVntXruiBeY73MLU-1qO8/s400/sad-teen1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527584025417545618" border="0" /></a>Yes there is Big Brothers but that does not focus on specifically pairing up young gay teens with adult "big brothers' that can not only be an advisor, mentor and advocate for the kid but also for the family as well.<br /><br />Remember in the case of Seth, according to the Huffington Post story, the school officials claimed there was no problem and did nothing. She had absolutely no affirmative helping organization to turn to.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ask yourself- if Seth had been afforded the luxury many straight teens have of mentorship would this kid have lost hope and hung himself on a tree and subsequently ended his life at age 13?</span><br /></span><br />I think he would still be here. But when these kids have no one to talk to that really understands the heart-wrenching pain they are silently suffering from inside it sits like a cancer inside until...like in the sad case of Seth Walsh and the tragic case of Lawrence King it ends in a life lost too young and for no good reason.<br /><br />I could not counsel a teenage mother properly- I could emphathize with her strugglebut since I biologically could have never been a teenage mother I have no practical frame of reference to draw from to offer support and advice.<br /><br />Conversely I was an emotionally abused gay teenager- outed at age twelve...constantly intimidated and harassed until I exploded and put a stop to it in 11th grade- so I know every single thing this boy was feeling before he hung himself.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdetRvuCV28MafGVbF6332Cn6Wixol-wBayTpRaWhRF7OF1YpVw-26WHcW1sb5UJmQ_Fp2bo8C0YaZNKoYHv7sNznPRN14iPJ-b9XEX2PcY_Mo2xO9jXverBzY0JZCVehl3GbL8wa5rU/s1600/sad-boy-thumb12006259.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdetRvuCV28MafGVbF6332Cn6Wixol-wBayTpRaWhRF7OF1YpVw-26WHcW1sb5UJmQ_Fp2bo8C0YaZNKoYHv7sNznPRN14iPJ-b9XEX2PcY_Mo2xO9jXverBzY0JZCVehl3GbL8wa5rU/s400/sad-boy-thumb12006259.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527585651525515138" border="0" /></a>Saddness, dispair, helplessness, bewilderment, low self esteem asnd self worth just to name a few. With kids like Seth it not only is the overt bullying- the name calling and the ntimidation. Body language of peers and family play an imnportant role in creating the dispondancy many of these gay kids have today.<br /><br />Even as an adult body language is the number one thing I look for in people and what, as in a current life case, brings sadness to my heart. You can tell when someone goes through the motions just for show.<br /><br />Something in your soul knows it.<br /><br />A gay teen can tell when he is being placated by people because they have to and not because it is done with love and understanding- they are not as stupid or unaware as we think.<br /><br />In my life as a teen I knew when people would say they cared and understood because they felt obligated or they were doing it for show. In my adult life I see that a lot as well. One person I know hugs all over my boyfriend- I know he truly loves him and he shows it. I am told I am equally loved and valued yet the person's body language tells a different story.<br /><br />I watch the way he is with my partner...open and freely expressing love and affection and yet with me is it to the point where I have to beg for the affection. When a hug or a show of the "love" that is ptrofessed actually occurs it is quick and the person pulls away. Any initmate discussions have the person cringing and making faces that he obviously cannot see- but my partner has and he sees the difference as well.<br /><br />So the point of that story is people that have been emotionally abused in their lives can tell by the body language of others what lies behind the surface and facade- and yes when you dincerely do love the other person it does tear your heart out knowing that you are being placated and played like a fiddle.<br /><br />What does this have to do with Seth and gay adult mentors?<br /><br />That is just one thing that a ga adult mentor can do for a gay youth- teach them how to recognize who really loves and supports them and who, for whatever reason does it for show. Because when it gets down to the wire for any of us we want tobe certain that we turn to those who mean what they say through actins and not words.<br /><br />But until there is a change in thinking- straight societies idea that all gay adult males want to get into the pants of gay youth and gay male adults get a pair of balkls and start stepping up to the plate to help kids like Seth we will continue to see suicides, murders or at best the death of the sould of young people who would otherwise turn out to be great humans beings if people would just learn acceptence andmind thjeir own fucking business in this world.<br /><br />That's the thoughts I have on this today...I will try to write more this werek and will close with the news report about Seth's memorial service below.<br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8qShk24DNXw?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8qShk24DNXw?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Further reading- <a href="http://www.suicide.org/suicide-note-of-a-gay-teen.html">A GAY TEEN'S SUICIDE NOTE</a></span>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-3886045872059267122010-07-27T10:08:00.000-07:002010-07-27T10:08:32.253-07:00TOP 5 HELIX PERFORMERSOn my formspring someone asked me who the top 5 Helix stars of all time are.

Both Mama Fluff and I agreed that he had a lot of talent and that we thought he was unique for being himself on the show.<br /><br />What I don't get though is why this person is not signed to a record deal yet. I mean come on folks- campy stereotype Adam Lambert has a record deal and Danny is a better singer than him in my opinion so what the fuck?<br /><br />I think Ellen DeGeneres, who just started her own record label should give this guy a chance to do an album. He doesn't have to be campy like Lambert to sell records he just has to sing as good as he does.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiI5S5CIGmL5dQGMSGDa_3aNFtH81VJ_TUa6WatIOiSg46VXUP6zoTTEyN9aGAMFlGtdd17lJth_TOHTL8EfKeV6SgaQVgnWqYcsvDHAOgwxYkpa9wXioxYRJ9jGef6fpr-N16cLpjWm8/s1600/51RyprmqZpL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiI5S5CIGmL5dQGMSGDa_3aNFtH81VJ_TUa6WatIOiSg46VXUP6zoTTEyN9aGAMFlGtdd17lJth_TOHTL8EfKeV6SgaQVgnWqYcsvDHAOgwxYkpa9wXioxYRJ9jGef6fpr-N16cLpjWm8/s400/51RyprmqZpL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488001831497655794" border="0" /></a>Earlier this year he released a signal, that <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038K7SFO/ref=nosim?tag=dannnorionli-20&linkCode=sb1&camp=212353&creative=380549">you can listen to and buy here </a>on Amazon.<br /><br />It is really a good song and I think it is time someone steps up to the plate and gives this guy what he deserves.<br /><br />Twinky Archuleta came in second to a guy named David Cook who had a horridly screechy voice. Archie would have won but the voters (and people on the show) that thought having a gay - or perceived gay American Idol was a bad idea made sure he came in second even though he was the better singer in the end.<br /><br />No offense against Archuleta but I think when he gets older and the teenage girls they market him to grow up and their is a new made to be straight twinky on the block we will see this guy do a Ricky Martin.<br /><br />Meanwhile, if given the chance, Danny Noriega will continue to be himself and entertain for years.<br /><br />I just may start the petition campaign to get Ellen to sign Danny to a record deal..not because he is gay but because he is a great singer and entertainer and he is the epitome of what gay pride is.<br /><br />Being proud of who and what you are even if it means watching others fly past you because they can convince brain dead drooling females and straight males that they are just as much of a straight as they are.<br /><br />I like Archuleta's music but his statements about gays sound like those that many in the closet make- I have no trouble with gay people, I have gay friends but it would be awful if I was one.

Specifically, must an anti-gay preacher and others be allowed to condemn homosexuality in signs and literature by roaming the permit grounds of a gay-pride celebration?</span>"<br /><br />It goes on to say...<br /><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">This year, an anti-gay activist and preacher named Brian Johnson and his family have insisted that they be given access to the permit grounds during the hours of the festival in order to display signs, distribute literature, and personally counsel attendees with an opposing message: that homosexuality is sinful and must be condemned rather than accepted. Johnson was arrested for trespass last year after he confronted some festival-goers with his message of repentance and condemnation.</span>"<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Now let's think a minute. </span><br /><br />For any other type of event- that shows say ethnic pride people would be outraged if some sick son of a bitches, in the name of their idea of what a god is, had signs saying stuff like "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Niggers are God's Mistake</span>" or "<span style="font-weight: bold;">God Hates Mexicans</span>".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">There would be a public outcry- chances are angry participants would start a riot or at least beat the hell out of the freaks.</span><br /><br />But when it comes to us gay folk- especially here in San Diego we just hold our signs and no one has the balls to stand up to these people.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOYPhvbXbEbubRnNDw6Yad5wNgrPvZ-kd0Sg2NahIMYdbxy3q-91TLa6_EtYyb2BNAh4f9fKCD9ZFmn10jfScbQHB0yyYi_6A2oG9Gk2Hg3adq2rV5wGWWqJVWV4S_fTD3Eo-nPiKTao/s1600/6a00d8341c66f153ef0115711530dd970b-800wi.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOYPhvbXbEbubRnNDw6Yad5wNgrPvZ-kd0Sg2NahIMYdbxy3q-91TLa6_EtYyb2BNAh4f9fKCD9ZFmn10jfScbQHB0yyYi_6A2oG9Gk2Hg3adq2rV5wGWWqJVWV4S_fTD3Eo-nPiKTao/s400/6a00d8341c66f153ef0115711530dd970b-800wi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486036998476585058" border="0" /></a>Let me take you back to 1969- when the first protests started the people involved were instructed to dress mainstream- long dresses and suits and ties. They were told no matter what act peacefully and respectfully...until gay folk had enough of the abuse and the Stonewall Riot occurred. That event in New York City sparked some change that we all benefit from in the present day.<br /><br />The trouble is that now days it seems we have the same sort of people organization the Pride events..and even the people who organized the NO H8 campaign here with that peace nick mentally that did nothing to affect change prior to the Stonewall riot in 1969.<br /><br />Those of us in California saw how affective not taking the bully (the Mormon Church and other backers of Prop 8) worked for us. Our right to buy a state issued marriage license was taken away.<br /><br />Don't you think it is about time we start standing up for ourselves- whether it means taking on a neighbor or family member one on one or a taking on the religious freaks that come to our events to preach hate? The organizers think it makes us look good in the press by being civil, polite and non-confrontational but it does not. It makes us looks like the scared little faggots time and time again- shut up and put in our place as second class citizens in a country where there is supposed to be "liberty and justice for all" whether you fuck an ass or a vagina.<br /><br />As far as the piece is concerned I am all for free speech and people to have their first amendment right but when does free speech turn into hate speech?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqLUsW_VXNWsfagcroGOUlCrEEARh5IkdGGuUdGTW1L6nAEEXZgCYl-zCDkFeJAHSz9WD3Qdrwk0-hKIxhGaIG7OnI47jaMLNputz7sOW0y08vOoiGeLgA1jILO-56hAW9buxm7xKKpw/s1600/0223-first-amendment.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 329px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqLUsW_VXNWsfagcroGOUlCrEEARh5IkdGGuUdGTW1L6nAEEXZgCYl-zCDkFeJAHSz9WD3Qdrwk0-hKIxhGaIG7OnI47jaMLNputz7sOW0y08vOoiGeLgA1jILO-56hAW9buxm7xKKpw/s400/0223-first-amendment.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486029352501620722" border="0" /></a>The first amendment says, "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.</span>"<br /><br />No where in that bill of rights does it say you can twist the words of Jesus Christ around and use it to promote hate, violence and discrimination against a segment of the population you either fear or simply cannot accept in your own world.<br /><br />I have been at a lot of events where these sick bastards march around with their anti-gay signs and no one- no one dares to take on these people- we are just too nice.<br /><br />But just like the bully in school the sickness- that is Christian Fundamentalism (it is a sickness and for some a real addiction...these people border on delusional) - will continue to bully until the victim stands up to them. It does not mean having a rational discussion- these people are so insane that they truly believe that because they keep their small minds stuck in that book of theirs that they are the ones that God loves.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWX47PU1V3uJYIwaPLP0Y7hZbboQU4Qvz9fiXeHKAV3o1QfyIUklR6a0Dz44WGqbPTQz08UUqECdFTnBEHH4S-R6MSTe5Oaw_zdUH68JwHTo6Y7qDIbQGRAsQ1dG1CGZ0_OOtTGIKaW20/s1600/jesus_hates_you_xlarge.jpeg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWX47PU1V3uJYIwaPLP0Y7hZbboQU4Qvz9fiXeHKAV3o1QfyIUklR6a0Dz44WGqbPTQz08UUqECdFTnBEHH4S-R6MSTe5Oaw_zdUH68JwHTo6Y7qDIbQGRAsQ1dG1CGZ0_OOtTGIKaW20/s400/jesus_hates_you_xlarge.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486029503447895426" border="0" /></a>Trouble is these freaks end up playing God more than listening to their God...so I think their God just shakes his or her head and plugs his ears...they always say we are going to hell but they seem to forget what the man they name themselves after cautioned them against- "Judge not lest you be judged".<br /><br />Back to the bully- until the victim takes a risk...in a school kids case it might be getting expelled for taking on a bully and in the adult would arrest for civil disobedience...the bully will continue on.<br /><br />So if these people are allowed to march around that Pride event- or even at ours next month gay folk have abig choice to make. Let them continue being the bully and spewing out hate disguised as some sort of religion that is based on nothing but their own fears and prejudices or to finally take on the bully.<br /><br />Thousands attend the Gay Pride event here in San Diego. I am sure a boat load will be at the <a href="http://www.tcpride.org/">Gay Pride Festival in Minneapolis</a> so how about this time people get a set of balls and simply run these freakish bastards out of the event.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qjZO1CkSWabfXV7JyhtknLSumOn77QuYBJUoFOiqHatbBYnnlpbgQc9zuIYSpzaQ_DvPwemcV6LOmobWX8uh4DDJSsVQ3hyphenhyphen2eRlIBBCtqMw3-hlFTeUvE-r1zyNoh55j2AS8vqrtKYE/s1600/ban_gay_bashing_button-p145777344132540778t5sj_400.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 317px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qjZO1CkSWabfXV7JyhtknLSumOn77QuYBJUoFOiqHatbBYnnlpbgQc9zuIYSpzaQ_DvPwemcV6LOmobWX8uh4DDJSsVQ3hyphenhyphen2eRlIBBCtqMw3-hlFTeUvE-r1zyNoh55j2AS8vqrtKYE/s400/ban_gay_bashing_button-p145777344132540778t5sj_400.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486032092618891970" border="0" /></a>I don't condone random violence but there have been many times when I just wanted to take the sign of one of these God Hates fags freaks and beat the living shit out of them with it.<br /><br />Not because I get my jollies hurting another human being but because I know- from personal experience as a teen and from the stories I have heard and read about in my lifetime how their twisted religion, there ability to get away with publicly promoted hate and violence against a certain segment of the population<br /><br />It is about time we- as a so-called community do whatever it takes to shut up these bastards.

Sadly we are in separate parts of San Diego now so I don't get to see him too often but this is Roxy at his best.<br /><br />I rarely meet people with a brilliant sense of humor like his and I remember earlier this year being on random adventures just like in his video. The most benign things were turned into a laugh a minute. When I am dowen I think about those times and smile to myself.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But I want to make something else clear. </span><br /><br />As you saw in yesterday's post there are a lot of dumb ass people out there and I am sure one idiot will not understand that he is in Roxy Red character in this video and he and his friend are being random and silly. There is a huge difference between the character of Roxy Red and the real person I have come to know. Just like my Chucky Baer character is way different from who I really am in my real world so it is with Roxy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">So just to make it clear- He does not sell his ass on a street corner- he was just acting.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">So if you hear anyone running around saying Roxy Red is a street corner whore slap them on the head with a dumb stick.</span><br /><br />He is a talented,witty and compassionate human being and I can't thank him enough for making me laugh today...today especially I needed a good one.<br /><br />You can find Roxy on <a href="http://roxyredxxx.blogspot.com/">his blog</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/roxyredCENTRAL">his twitter</a> and or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/baphomets_servant">his MySpace page</a> (he accepts fans there).<br /><br />Here's the video:<br /><br /><object style="background-image: url("http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/Gvj5rYlx1vo/hqdefault.jpg");" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gvj5rYlx1vo&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gvj5rYlx1vo&hl=en_US&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-24521160092076304092010-06-19T20:09:00.000-07:002010-06-19T20:40:10.003-07:00DEAR DUMB ASS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixb6KHaQKe3T6W3PaL3jIev57sbB88Y5q_BMZMVitexr1ME6T7elQ_qeLZ1rEHJKuAOghhhpGWsePXXNrtT5I3Rxg28PEBfQ9DlGrl5MGXlN_JxrbIpknfjgd7ma5KOGYU5ODTKaUP2P0/s1600/aaaa.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixb6KHaQKe3T6W3PaL3jIev57sbB88Y5q_BMZMVitexr1ME6T7elQ_qeLZ1rEHJKuAOghhhpGWsePXXNrtT5I3Rxg28PEBfQ9DlGrl5MGXlN_JxrbIpknfjgd7ma5KOGYU5ODTKaUP2P0/s400/aaaa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484687740313822130" border="0" /></a>Don't you hate stupid people? Seems like both Roxy Red and I are getting the same dumbass on our formspring!<br /><br />This anonymous person- who clearly cannot read well asked me this:<br /><br />"<span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">do u think its up to the studios to test models or should the models get themselves tested for std`s</span>"<br /><br />This was my response:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">That depends- I think if someone is using their body in their work off screen they should be health conscious. Don't be bare backing in the private life and then try and blame a studio because you come up with something. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">So new models should make sure they are clean before they sign a contract and agree to do a film or scene. So yes initially I think it is up to the model. It should be required before they are hired. Also I see no reason why a new model cannot get an HIV test as well prior to shooting. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Many cities offer free testing. If you get hired in medicine at a hospital you have to get Hepatitis shots, a CPR card and other things. The employer and hospital doesn't pay for it the applicant does so why should it be different with porn studios?<br /><br />If a studio has an applicant that just could not get an HIV or STD screening then they should help them but these are all adults- even if they are 18. The studio is an employer not a babysitter.</span><br /><br />Out of that the dumb as said to Roxy that I don't care if models have STD's or about the health.<br /><br />So just to clarify I do care- but I think that since everyone is supposed to be grown up in porn I see no reason models THAT ARE NEW should not be to get their own HIV and STD screening. The studio is not responsible for what they did before they became an employee.<br /><br />Now that doesn't mean I don't care, dumb ass.<br /><br />What it means is that models should take some responsibility as well. If a model is under exclusive contract then perhaps the studio should test them routinely. But most people get HIV tested every 6 months. Most models stick around for a weekend and usually are back within that same 6 month period.<br /><br />Now had this person asked a logical question instead of a vague one that was purposely designed to get me to answer so this dumb ass could twist my words than I may have had a different answer.<br /><br />If he or she had asked if I thought that models should be able to see the health records, HIV tests and other pertinent information about the person they were going to have sex with in the scene I would have said absolutely. I think that all studios should make that available to models.<br /><br />So here we have another dumb ass that clearly cannot read English- I made my position clear in the answer and never said that I do not care about the models being tested for STD's.<br /><br />I think it is a 2 way street- while studios have the responsibility to make sure testing is done- either by having applicants bring recent tests to the first shoot or helping them get to a free clinic locally I also believe the models should act responsibly in their private lives in bed.<br /><br />And I don't think is that is wrong to say. If one uses his body for work and exposes it to others than he should take care to play safe, avoid heavy drug use- be it Mary Jane, alcohol or heavier drugs so there is no worry of STD's.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">But again- this question was asked just to give the dumb ass an opportunity to twisty my words</span>.<br /><br />Let's get this straight- my blog is about porn reviews...it is not about gossip or what I think certain studios should or shouldn't do.<br /><br />If I owned my own studio I would take my guys to the clinic and test them myself just to avoid liability. I cannot say what I think others should do because I have a peripheral frame of reference.<br /><br />But I will say that this person probably has heard hearsay- second hand info from disgruntled performers...usually the truth is blurred by anger by these people and there is always two sides to all stories and that is why I don't get into talking about shit like this.<br /><br />So the next time you want to ask me a question like this- to entrap me or twist my words- DON'T.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">AND FOR THE RECORD I SAW KEITH MILLER YESTERDAY AND HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH ROXY RED SO LET'S PUT THE RUMOR ABOUT BEING FIRED TO REST.</span><br /></span>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-23753292828469814312010-06-11T07:56:00.000-07:002010-06-11T07:59:19.656-07:00INTO THE LENSBefore I started the Borderboys post this morning I had to do a quick post here. Some of the reader comments I am getting are really great and I wanted to share part of one reader David Michael...who writes the <a href="http://davidinthevalley.com/">DAVID IN THE VALLEY</a> blog wrote so eloquently:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">It is a major double standard and it honestly does not help when a "twink" uses his charm, sex appeal, looks, body to get "What he wants" then when the well dries out, he moves on and doesn't give you the time of day. <br /><br />Not all of us middle-aged gay men are wealthy. But, we all do have feelings!! <br /><br /></span><a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3JUOA-WoTptV7hNP_MBnG2mbkbBWT_vJNclkrJBlcD_-htz9HU9xkNkBejGlpOEJzz2zjdAjTTplr9mfHrXMInvbp1PoJZ7ptZhDJkza6FWYdE664FQ4AHfN-ih5_zuQPOMEEZ1D4u8/s1600/bio_nick_moretti.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3JUOA-WoTptV7hNP_MBnG2mbkbBWT_vJNclkrJBlcD_-htz9HU9xkNkBejGlpOEJzz2zjdAjTTplr9mfHrXMInvbp1PoJZ7ptZhDJkza6FWYdE664FQ4AHfN-ih5_zuQPOMEEZ1D4u8/s400/bio_nick_moretti.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481518028356875794" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">Not all of us are out to "get the next twink". Some of us just are real genuine people who are only looking for pure friendship - nothing more - nothing less.<br /><br />And it does sadden me that twinks of today don't want anything to do with you unless you have money or are in some other type of position to help them. </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />They also seem to forget that in about 20 years, they are also going to be a middle-aged gay man. I have noticed on twitter, that a lot of the twinks have some major drama. <br /><br />Always talking smack about someone else. You DM them or tweet them and they do not even have the common respect to answer you. <br /><br />They only complain to others that some "old creepy guy" is bothering me. Some of them take genuine friendly comments or what have you as "oh know, they want something, I had better stay away".</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">UNLESS DAVID...like I said before in earlier posts you look like the dude in that picture above.</span><br /><br />And I am not making it up. I see how men that look like that, who are fortunate enough to have the metabolism or the physical ability to work out three times a week (<span style="font-style: italic;">I really have tried myself but with the Chronic Fatigue and the constant muscular pain on normal days doing that makes me feel like a truck ran over me</span>), are treated compared to someone that looks like me.<br /><br />The message that rings loud and clear is that you are only worthy of love and the same respect you try to give if you look great on the outside.<br /><br />And that is really sad.<br /><br />We actually do have feelings...and yes I have heard the same people that reeled me in and who convinced me the "love"- paternal on my part was mutual tell me about how others have hurt them in the past by doing exactly what they do to me or other middle age men. So it is bad when someone rips their heart out but since we are old bastards it doesn't matter.<br /><br />Now not all twinks are like that. Roxy Red comes to mind. I have known him since the beginning of the year and both my partner and I think of him as extended family. Not once has he played any games or disrespected me- he has been sincere and has been genuinely a good person.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FdMwxXtreM9Zz0E4eHDexjP0f7aTn-imdNy4jaEAZ_6GbRRB_u0S4Wxj2ab70Wi_GaNesdeRv9z2_Arl4WHBygKCUqj66qhbiOgda8x-aAfkBhQCY4j-yHnOhXXJTuZZ3etyNp1qdG4/s1600/PIC+002+%28Medium%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0FdMwxXtreM9Zz0E4eHDexjP0f7aTn-imdNy4jaEAZ_6GbRRB_u0S4Wxj2ab70Wi_GaNesdeRv9z2_Arl4WHBygKCUqj66qhbiOgda8x-aAfkBhQCY4j-yHnOhXXJTuZZ3etyNp1qdG4/s400/PIC+002+%28Medium%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481523870690115026" border="0" /></a>Same with Aaron Tyler. Although Aaron and I had a business disagreement a while back he has always been a friend...no matter what people say to him and no matter what others tell me they think about him he has been sincere. He probably is the one person in the business that immediately included me- no questions asked, no concern over how I looked or how it looked with him hanging out with me...just real friendship and a real concern for my feelings as well.<br /><br />But most are conditioned to believe that us older people just want something from them as you said, David.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The fact of the matter is that most middle aged gay men, whether they deny it to themselves or not, naturally possess paternal instincts. Especially if you are a guy like me that actually, albeit accidentally made and subsequently lost to disease a biological child of your own...</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">exactly one month from today it will be 8 years since he passed away from the terminal lymphatic cancer</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><br /><br /><br />If you had a teenage life like mine- where there was no older gay male mentor to help me through the almost daily rough spots (remember I was outed in a town of 34,000 people when I was 12)- you grow up naturally wanting to give youth something you never had. At least that is how it works for me- I had no one as a young adult- aside from the people that wanted me in bed...back when I had the youthful look and tight body. Young people do not understand that some of us get real joy out of being there and especially seeing youth that are troubled pulling through the mire of shit they are in and coming through it like a champ.<br /><br />I think the reason I do what I do is not to make the younger person into a substitute for my son but to carry on for him. What a lot of people do not know is that before he passed away, one of the last things he asked of me was to take care of other boys like him-he came out as gay to me when he was 11.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5x7-eE_osQZ68SlnJOh1MbabgPW8t69vQLII7J0j6nTWjybxkjfsG4oT0cm0pP8IVzhS9RdBrbL3IS-hTCjRNUmUZcvU96J-26IFHEkmRjnzzAmnJ5LaCp_Bm8iKCqm4YAilz6H7uosg/s1600/tumblr_l3p11bTsLN1qbdrfwo1_500.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5x7-eE_osQZ68SlnJOh1MbabgPW8t69vQLII7J0j6nTWjybxkjfsG4oT0cm0pP8IVzhS9RdBrbL3IS-hTCjRNUmUZcvU96J-26IFHEkmRjnzzAmnJ5LaCp_Bm8iKCqm4YAilz6H7uosg/s400/tumblr_l3p11bTsLN1qbdrfwo1_500.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481515961798871426" border="0" /></a>In other words my son, nearly on his death bed, asked me to help other young people so I would not want to give up and die myself. For years now I have tried to keep that promise I made to him.<br /><br />But I don't know if I can do it anymore. I can't deal with people saying they love and care until they find a convenient excuse not to. They just do not have the ability to look in the mirror at themselves and if they do they certainly do not have the skills or the ability to own up to their behaviors...instead they just disappear and meanwhile the person that allowed themselves to care and give a damn are left wondering why with their heart in their hands,<br /><br />For most it is not their faults - it is how they are conditioned these days.<br /><br />Reader Linda sent in this wonderful e-mail which sums up the problem with people...both older gay men and twinks not really understanding what love and interpersonal relationships that are all based on give and take entail...I will leave you today with her e-mail comment:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">I just read your blog post, "Your Own Worst Enemy". In my opinion, things will get worse long before they get better. The problem is that our technology has moved much more quickly than our ability to internalize it. We can instantly message people all over the planet, and stick our noses into EVERYTHING at will.</span><br /><br /> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">In my day, when you wanted to meet people, you had to get dressed and LEAVE THE HOUSE! And PHYSICALLY interact with them! Face to Face, for the love of God...Imagine such a thing today...Now, you just 'log on' to whatever site and post away to people you have NEVER met and most likely will not. You can say WHATEVER you want, and disappear, just like that. We have no investment in our social contacts anymore.<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The technology gives us the ability to have that kind of instant communication, but it doesn't tell us how to use it. Everything moves so fast, as soon as you learn one thing, it's obsolete and you have to start over again. Younger people who grow up with this technology often don't even learn what an actual person-to-person friendship IS.<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">So, of course people become afraid to let anyone in. They are simply reacting in self-protective interest. When a part of the body is over-stimulated, it is natural to form a kind of 'callous'. That's all this is. A social 'callous' we are forming in response to the hyper-stimulation our technology has given us. We are all walling ourselves off, like cysts.<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">I say it will get worse before better, because people aren't learning how to properly interact anymore. It's all becoming "Tweets" and brief little FB messages and 'texts' on cell phones...nobody really TALKS anymore. And yet, they have more opportunities than at any time in history!<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">People don't read, they don't write, unless they HAVE to. And their day-to-day communications are being reduced to brief snatches of stuff online. The language we use to communicate with each other is being reduced. Since we think in our native languages, any reduction in language skills is going to affect our ability to form coherent thought! This should scare the HELL out of anyone!<br /><br />George Orwell's 1984 seems more prophetic as time goes on. This is EXACTLY the strategy used by Big Brother to control the population. Reduce their ability to communicate and to even form thoughts, by restricting and reducing language itself.</div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"> <br />Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent there. But this kind of environment is going to affect the people in it. While it seems cold, it is actually only reflecting what we put into it. The same technology that allows us to vote for the next American Idol could help eliminate much world poverty.<br /><br />But, we opted for the QVC channel instead...<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Ah well, what can you do? But that's what it is, Chucky. It's the technology. We, as a species, haven't had the chance to adapt to the changes. Look at past innovations, like the horse-drawn plow. People had TIME to adapt and deal with the new invention. Nowadays? We get new inventions ALL THE TIME. When you do that to people, you fuck them up in the head.<br /><br />Read Future Shock by Toffler, it describes the psychological effects of this "pulling the rug out".</div> <div style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"> <br />It's little wonder people lack the basic social skills they need to get along with each other, and because I don't see any improvement soon, I think it will get worse before it gets better.</div><br /><br />Sadly that is so true...to all readers feel free to express your opinions here...t5he comments are open but remember they are pending approval so they will not appear until I approve them.<br /><br />Here is a song from YES...from the year when Trevor Horn did the lead vocals instead of Jon Anderson (older people that know the band will know what I am talking about) called Into The Lens.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wvz6cUWsw9w&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wvz6cUWsw9w&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-79577167784884306462010-06-09T14:07:00.000-07:002010-06-09T14:08:08.282-07:00THE BIG DOUBLE STANDARD<span id="hotword"><span style="cursor: default;color:transparent;" id="hotword" name="hotword" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" ><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/DOUBLE+STANDARD">DICTIONARY.

In other words, from what I have seen and experienced these guys will bend over backwords- sometimes literally- for a rich daddy that can afford to please them and buy the gym body but will just use people like me when we are a last resort.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZQ2pj0uZ-Qdwy8w8iQlJvrfRPgJyPuc83gZNtT5pgSzVITXlX3ee4dDJMMPN4qpw3fyzikkX-8QZ856IgDQwMgwCw2MzmRcWFI-3sRRDp2_LtustV7mc5zveOOt9VzklwuNw9VIx7KY8/s1600/fb08_scene5_003.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 296px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZQ2pj0uZ-Qdwy8w8iQlJvrfRPgJyPuc83gZNtT5pgSzVITXlX3ee4dDJMMPN4qpw3fyzikkX-8QZ856IgDQwMgwCw2MzmRcWFI-3sRRDp2_LtustV7mc5zveOOt9VzklwuNw9VIx7KY8/s400/fb08_scene5_003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480858285192059362" border="0" /></a>Today on the Borderboys blog I reviewed a scene with my all time favorite Helix performer Nick Angels and I said that if there was one guy that I would be obsessed with it would be Nick.<br /><br />The rest I have met have met let me in and some led me on into believing the "love" we shared was that of close family members.<br /><br />It is bad enough when people tell these twinks all sorts of shit- like some of the things I have heard that these guys do not realize I hear like "what do you want to be involved with that old man for?".but it is worse when one with a guilty conscious, who does not have the balls to stand up to what people think he should do and be falls into the trap set by those who really do not give a damn and throw away real love and compassion.<br /><br />And I am not talking here about adult performers exclusively. Over the years I have seen the hearts ripped out of youth, again as I stated in an earlier piece here, by these fabulous older men with money, condos and the gym bodies while they fucked themselves by ditching the average guy who had his heart and motivations in the right place.<br /><br />Anyhow I am really sick of the double standards with people lately. I warned people on the post today not to mail in with smart ass comments on how silly it is for a man my age being attracted to a guy Nick's age (he is 22 now btw).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkOM4gzrbUHMNL-Ta39CEB-9L4yRM2FWm7gupBslTF5vHdVPBdKwM6neGJY33vS0Q77u0Nm6T6Jum5mBqrOdiMscqwWp_j98LEyp6fHOvCStetq3GBin5a_ZiFTz13za54Hi9-hjLdW6Q/s1600/fb15_scene1_021.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkOM4gzrbUHMNL-Ta39CEB-9L4yRM2FWm7gupBslTF5vHdVPBdKwM6neGJY33vS0Q77u0Nm6T6Jum5mBqrOdiMscqwWp_j98LEyp6fHOvCStetq3GBin5a_ZiFTz13za54Hi9-hjLdW6Q/s400/fb15_scene1_021.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480883200690569666" border="0" /></a>Now I am not sure how it is for females but I know men my age, that are straight, that start dating- or even crushing over a female in their 20's and they are usually patted on the back by their peers.<br /><br />Yet when it is someone my age that suggests that he finds a model like Nick beautiful, charming and engaging people act as if it is some mortal sin.<br /><br />And that is not only straight people that do that- twinks do that as well...again unless it is someone of wealth or who has the ability to buy the 20 year old body. I have seen gay twinks make absolutely horrid comments about men who like certain models and yet they themselves will chase after big and buff- and wealthy men the same age as the one they mock themselves to further their career or to live up to the expectations others put on them.<br /><br />It is really pitiful that there is such a double standard because what ends up happening is many of these guys gain no real concept about what love really is. Love to them is someone pandering to their whims or making them look good in public and that is sad as I pointed out last week here.<br /><br />What is even worse is when I have one of these people lamenting to me about how badly, unfairly or unjustly someone else treated them when they tried to be a loving friend or even a boyfriend and then turn around and do the same god damn thing they whined to me about to others- or even me. If that is not the epitome of the phrase double standard I don't know what else is.<br /><br />Back to Nick...(the pics are from some of my favorite scenes he did at Helix)...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73UNP_2ODVzFOE6YoBF8DbIWLuZ2UmtKXl5Ng5yDPqOmNN9NcIG6ei8wABv8j2dLg0HKI8NAQPl9vUNos0H691nkJwRLVwNSjwDqxHio45FJzw6WGsywrc8gBDoZeQ6QzWzdinjSihjs/s1600/fb08_scene5_016.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj73UNP_2ODVzFOE6YoBF8DbIWLuZ2UmtKXl5Ng5yDPqOmNN9NcIG6ei8wABv8j2dLg0HKI8NAQPl9vUNos0H691nkJwRLVwNSjwDqxHio45FJzw6WGsywrc8gBDoZeQ6QzWzdinjSihjs/s400/fb08_scene5_016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480877147185638194" border="0" /></a>I didn't have the space to elaborate on the other blog so I just want to make things perfectly clear here. I am really not obsessed with Nick Angels- or anyone for that matter. There is a big difference between being obsessed and either admiring someone's work or if they have told you they love you as well wanting to be part of their world on a daily basis- not just when it is convenient or it can be kept secret for appearances sake.<br /><br />The point I was trying to make on the other blog was that if I was the type to get obsessed to any human being or performer it would have been Nick. For my tastes in my personal life, especially when I was his age he is perfect. His ethnic background is appealing, his body is awesome and I love guys that are shorter than me.<br /><br />Away from the physical, even though I just had a short chat with him when I met Nick last year I found him to be adorable, sincere and very forthright. Incredibly polite I found him to be charming and a very smart young man.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4FeKg3rd64LWXI7sE6-bTfVFsfCf39fbgQ1S-S7eugPReR95AA4XXpxZrAxDlumtvllmfJdKswAtGDLMcz9Wt00b6a5mJReos1spVbx7jqG_9jwAK5isHLS-M3k3G_IiLUtMRYb9aOgQ/s1600/fb15_scene1_030.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 339px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4FeKg3rd64LWXI7sE6-bTfVFsfCf39fbgQ1S-S7eugPReR95AA4XXpxZrAxDlumtvllmfJdKswAtGDLMcz9Wt00b6a5mJReos1spVbx7jqG_9jwAK5isHLS-M3k3G_IiLUtMRYb9aOgQ/s400/fb15_scene1_030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480882097536477570" border="0" /></a>Those are all the qualities I like in a guy- but it isn't an obsession. I haven't mailed him or spoke with him since last year. It is more of a testament to the kind of guy he is and his talent as a performer.<br /><br />So no- Chucky does not get obsessed over twinks. My life, my day and my world does not depend on talking to any of them. But Chucky also has feelings- again it is forgotten or simply dismissed by younger people that we older folks have feelings too and when someone fucks with our heads or hearts it hurts deeply as well.<br /><br />What is the point of this post?<br /><br />Well first to clarify what I wrote- I love the work Nick has done and really enjoyed chatting with him off the set but I am really not an obsessed fan.<br /><br />Second to say that I have reached a limit with double standards- whether it has to do with societal double standards or those sometimes thrust upon my by so called friends and acquaintances.<br /><br />I may not be rich, I may not be young, I may not have the gym body, and I may not live like a king in a million dollar condo but I am a damn good person who would rather slit his own wrists than intentionally betray a trust or hurt someone I care about intentionally.<br /><br />But there comes a time when one has to say enough of the double standards. I have seen this played out with three different people in my life over the past month.<br /><br />I have reached my limit of trying to be nice just for the sake of being an honest and caring person only to have efforts thrown in my face or blown off.<br /><br />I have reached my limit of allowing myself to be manipulated into believing things only to find out that what I was led to believe is not true at all- you may not realize it but it sucks knowing some people use you as a last resort and I just won't stand for that any more in friendships or on a professional level.<br /><br />I have had enough of trying to be the friend indeed to a friend in need only to be excommunicated when things get sorted out or they decide...let me repeat that...they decide that they have no more use for me until the next time.<br /><br />Maybe this post- aside from making sure no one spins what I said about Nick is a self-affirmation post to myself.<br /><br />I am a good person and I do not have to look a certain way, live a certain lifestyle or anything else to meet someone's approval. I will not settle anymore and in the coming months I am going to weed out the real friends from those who are fair weather ones.<br /><br />You can take that to the bank for sure because I deserve better.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY9q0wP9ualL75ZiXMa8R6jxNh_kObgDYj06W2zcIEXjxdqZYO9Zq-U-YbYPmpHkdUyzjQ1p9he5n5mQ-DOj8StEy9fs86v-U4YToWQYfor8AcQD8_6CefM30xhan4IdObCeD9HKSo0N4/s1600/fb11_scene1_004.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY9q0wP9ualL75ZiXMa8R6jxNh_kObgDYj06W2zcIEXjxdqZYO9Zq-U-YbYPmpHkdUyzjQ1p9he5n5mQ-DOj8StEy9fs86v-U4YToWQYfor8AcQD8_6CefM30xhan4IdObCeD9HKSo0N4/s400/fb11_scene1_004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480880877842284114" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And yes for me I think Nick is and was one of the most sensual and sexy models ever cast at Helix...no apologies for that as well!CHUCKY BAERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-5232170961576217032010-06-03T10:18:00.001-07:002010-06-03T10:30:22.834-07:00REST IN PEACE RUESTORY BELOW IS FROM THE <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/06/golden-girl-rue-mcclanahan-dies-at-76.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">LA TIMES</span></a><br /><p><a style="float: left;"><img alt="Mclanahan" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c630a53ef013482e7d0fc970c " src="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef013482e7d0fc970c-250wi" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 220px;" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rue McClanahan, who played a man-crazy Southern belle in the seminal '80s sitcom "Golden Girls," </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-na-rue-mcclanahan,0,3228841.story">died early Thursday</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> of a massive stroke.
