Must Have: Our Favorite Things

A Christmas Pour-y

The soft glow of electric sex in a can? Sign us up! The seasonal, Texas-brewed Yule Shoot Your Eye Out Red Ale returns for another holiday season. And it’s a must-have for your home bar—especially tomorrow because we’ve found the caramel malt and twist of orange in the beer pair amazingly well with turkey.  Especially if you can keep the […]

A Dating/Hookup App About Face

Black screens, closeups of torsos and pointless landscape photos—these are a few of our least favorite things when it comes to dating and hookup apps. Scruff allows users to have verified profile photos for added safety, while Grindr offers nothing to keep the fakes and chatbots at bay. But Archer, a new gay dating/hookup app created by gay men aims […]

Reading Is Fundamental, Indeed

Black Tie Dinner this year gave us all the feels. And mostly when handsome Dr. Eric Cervini took the stage. The co-founder (above right) with Adam Powell (above left) created ShopQueer.co and during his speech at the big LGBTQ fundraiser this past weekend, we made sure to input the name of his company into our phone so we wouldn’t forget. […]

Big Time Sensuality

Ever sit and stare at somebody because their talents impress so intensely? That’s how we’ve felt about Debra Gloria for the 15+ years we’ve had the privilege of knowing her, working with her and even posing for her long, long ago. When she picks up a camera, she sees the world in such a different way than most and the […]

Mask Up Your Member This Halloween

It’s hard to believe that in 2023 people are still embarrassed to purchase condoms. Especially anyone requiring extra-large ones. We would demand a price check over the intercom at CVS every time we went to the register if that were the case. But we digress. Some people are still shy about their prophylactic purchases, while others simply don’t want to […]

Ye Olde Queens

Long before Stonewall, gay men existed. Shocking, right? People just didn’t see them represented much between the mid-19th-century to the mid-20th-century. Not by a long shot. But a book you need to add to your collection takes a deep dive into this very interesting era in American history, as well as that of countries from around the globe. Loving: A […]

Smooth Non-Operators

WRINKLES! What a vile, hateful, utterly despicable four-letter word. Luckily, we’ve discovered a new destination in Oak Cliff for permanently erasing that plural noun from our vocabulary—and our forehead! Word has been spreading about the joy of having your handsome heightened at Tuxedo Club, a gay-owned med spa on Jefferson Boulevard that opened recently. The moment you walk through the […]

Push, Push, Read This Busch

During the summer months, writing about books is usually a lot easier for us because so many of the ones we feature here are great “beach reads.” But you know what, we’ve realized that a beach read can be enjoyed any time of the year—and with climate change, the chances of a mid-December lounging act under a palm tree increase […]

Underwear Of The Month: All (Barbie) Dolled Up

By now, we suspect you’ve seen Barbie. Chances are, you wore pink to the theater. But did you wear pink everything? Andrew Christian has the answer with his Barbie Inspired Collection, in case you still haven’t seen the comedy smash—or plan to return for a second helping of plastic-inspired joy. Though not an official-official collection (likely due to copyright issues), […]

Beach Read: Meet The Staten Island Fairy

Always on the hunt for an excuse to go to the beach—even if it’s under the guise of actually reading a book—you can always find us somewhere near the ocean whenever possible. And now, we have a big gay, Big D reason to crack open a beer before cracking open the new tome from Dallas-based Keith A. Yonick. The Staten […]
