Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

The excellent web zine Towleroad has two recent items of interest that are worthy of a read. First is a brief article (link here) about how stridently anti-LGBT Congressman Steven Russell of Oklahoma is telling colleagues that, as President, Donald Trump will be supportive of anti-LGBT "religious freedom" actions, notwithstanding Trump tried to paint himself as LGBT friendly during the campaign.

Such laws allow blatant discrimination of LGBT people because equality "offends" a homophobe's alleged religious beliefs. It's worth nothing that such exemptions against race discrimination for supposed religious reasons was long ago ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, but would a high court turned hardcore conservative because of Trump appointees rule the same way for anti-LGBT laws?

The second article (link here) documents how the downright hateful anti-LGBT group Family Research Council (FRC) is already exerting a strong presence in Trump's transition team. The FRC has long peddled garbage theories like linking LGBT-rights with pedophilia and has also promoted garbage "science" like gay conversion "therapy" (something also supported by Trump's Vice President Michael Pence).

Fortunately, some of the Trump Administration's expected anti-LGBT stance can be muted by local laws in progressive, enlightened communities. In San Francisco, for instance, the city is preparing to fight back against any reversals of LGBT rights by Trump (link here).

And a special shout out for the citizens of Austria is warranted today. Their harshly anti-LGBT far-right Trump-like candidate for President was defeated in an election over the weekend (link here).

Moving on to our stud of the day, Luke is younger than the lads I tend to favor, but he has such a fantastic body I couldn't pass him by. He stands 5.8, weighs 170 pounds, and is from Texas. He's done clothed beefcake modeling as "Wes," but I believe this is the first time he's done nudes.

The originals for these photos are larger than they appear below and total more than eighty in number. To download the complete set in a free zipped folder, you should click here.

  1. Last Friday I was looking to my new DVD movie «Stonewall» (2015).

    When I see these events from June 28 1968, must admit that your Gay Rights are doing ups and downs for 48years.

    I know that it's not the same in some states but admit that your «religious» country is long to admit some rights to gays.
    Looking to black rights we see that it's not yet acquired in some states,
    And I'm not talking of latinos situation in your country.
    So estonishing for a country who fights for «human rights» all over the world and not even able to respect them in his own land.

    My point is that as long as «religion looby» and forces are ruling your politics, gay rights are at the mercy of biggots and twisted minds.

    Thank God, I live in Canada.
    PS. Stonewall is a movie all gays should see.
