Hugo Bonneval's Balls Caught On Camera After Interview
From: EricDeman
The guys at EricDeman website have acquired this rare and interesting video of a hot, sexy sportsman (Hugo Bonneval) who is being interviewed by a sports reporter. After the interview was over, the hot sportsman thought that the camera was turned off, but it actually continued recording everything.
The sportsman is changing his shorts, and we can have a nice good view of his big balls and soft cock. Meanwhile, the reporter is completely oblivious about what’s going on (or just plain uninterested), which made the whole situation even more funny.
Hugo Bonneval (born 19 November 1990) is a French rugby union player. He is the son of Eric Bonneval, another international French rugby player. His position is Fullback and he currently plays for Stade Français in the Top 14.
On 9 February 2014, he made his debut for France in a 30-10 win against Italy in the 2014 Six Nations Championship.

5 Transgender Activists Who Blazed A Trail For The LGBT Community
From: NewNowNext
In the past several years the trans community has achieved increased visibility and protections—with advocates like Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, Chaz Bono and Carmen Carrera raising awareness and changing perceptions. But the doors they walked through were pushed open by pioneers who faced an even less inviting environment.
In celebration of Pride month and Logo’s Trailblazers special on June 26, we present 5 transgender activists who blazed a trail for all of us.

Sylvia Rivera
Sylvia Rivera started her activism at the 1969 Stonewall riots and never stopped speaking out for the queer community, especially poor and minority trans people.
In 1970 Rivera marched in the original Christopher Street Liberation Day March and worked to get the New York City Gay Rights Bill passed. In the years that followed, she and Marsha P. Johnson co-founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), fighting for the rights of this disenfranchised community.
Called the “conscience” of the LGBT community, Rivera was arrested countless times at demonstrations for political causes like Soul Force, the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization, and the NYC Homeless Coalition, in addition to protests on behalf of transgender rights. She fought tireless to ensure that drag queens, trans men and women and other non-gender-conforming people wouldn’t be thrown under the bus by assimilationist gays looking for a quick fix.
In her later years, Rivera became an active in the the Metropolitan Community Church of New York, directing its food-service and trans-outreach programs. She received lifetime achievement awards from numerous groups and, in 2000, was invited to speak at World Pride in Rome. Even on her deathbed in 2002, Rivera fought for her community—meeting with members of the Empire State Pride Agenda to push for the inclusion of trans rights in the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination bill facing the New York State Legislature.
Her legacy continues with the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, which protects minority and low-income members of the trans community from discrimination and violence.
Soccer Player Michael Essien Latest Celebrity To Not Understand Social Media
From: Fleshbot
Instagram's nonsensical rules regarding not just nudity, but anything even remotely titillating, has forced World Cup soccer player Michael Essien to delete a seemingly innocuous photo he snapped while preparing for a game. Funny how he didn't notice the substantial outline of his cock when he went to post this thing.
According to Caught Offside ...
Experienced midfielder Essien uploaded a photo of himself wearing nothing but a pair of Calvin Klein underpants to Instagram from a Hilton hotel this afternoon. The picture, which showed off his massive thighs, was accompanied by the message: ‘Some stretching before the game with my “grande ENDO”!!!’
There's definitely something grande in that photo, my friend. Maybe even venti. Sadly the photo was deleted from his account not long after with no explanation.
SERIOUSLY??? AFA: ’Don’t Accept Mail Using Harvey Milk Stamp’
The AFA (American Family Association), in its ongoing effort to promote general idiocy in the name of "traditional family morals" sent a message to it’s legions of deluded followers last week urging them not to receive any letter sent to them by the US Postal Service postmarked with the new Harvey Milk stamp.
AFA’s press release reads (printed verbatim) as follows:
With last week’s release of the Harvey Milk postage stamp by the United States Postal Service, AFA wants you to know the truth behind it.The Harvey Milk stamp was a result of seven years of lobbying by a self-described drag queen (a biologi cal man with implanted breasts) and former transsexual prostitute Nicole Murray Ramirez of San Diego.Honoring predator Harvey Milk on a U.S. postage stamp is disturbing to say the least. Harvey Milk was a very disreputable man and used his charm and power to prey on young boys with emotional problems and drug addiction. He is the last person we should be featuring on a stamp.
Note: In 2010, the AFA was designated an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

If you haven’t yet encountered BUTT Magazine, you should check it out – it’s available at the Walker Art Museum and similar modern art museums – online – who knows where else. But it’s awesome – publishes cool interviews – awesome unapologetic photography. It’s a goal of mine to someday have some of my shots included." -- Marlen Boro
5 Trailblazing LGBT Athletes Who Changed The Game
From: NewNowNext
As we celebrate the historic accomplishments of Michael Sam, Jason Collins and other young out athletes, it’s important to remember those pioneering LGBT champions who came before them. In honor of Pride month and Logo’s Trailblazers special on June 26, we’re showcasing five such men and women.
For some of these athletes it wasn't possible to be out publicly while they were active in their sport, but their career successes and later LGBT advocacy make them important figures who blazed a trail in professional sports.
David Kopay
Football
Joe Namath might have made waves by cheekily wearing hosiery in a 1974 Hanes pantyhose commercial,, but the big bombshell came a year later when hunky former Redskins running back Dave Kopay came out in his bestselling autobiography—the first NFL player to ever do so.
“I got very, very few hate mails.” Kopay, now 71, told Outsports. “Mostly the mail that poured in was amazingly supportive and telling their own stories. There were hundreds of letters forwarded to me.”
But after he retired and sought work as a football coach, Kopay found himself effectively blacklisted from the sport. Instead, he became a successful Southern California businessman.
Kopay’s tale is the grandaddy of all professional-sports coming-out stories and he continues to make meaningful contributions: He is a board member of the Gay and Lesbian Athletics Foundation, has been a Gay Games ambassador and, In 2007 he announced plans to leave a million-dollar endowment to his alma mater, the University of Washington, for the school’s LGBT Center.

An Exclusive Peek Inside The Estate of Leonard Fink
From: Gay Cities
Photography by Leonard Fink, Courtesy of The Center
In June 1993, the Estate of Leonard Fink donated a photographic collection to The Center in New York City through its executor, Steven E. Bing. The materials in the Fink Estate was willed to four AIDS related organizations who gave all of the rights to the photos to the Center Archive. Some of these were signed “Len Elliot,” which might have been a pseudonym of Fink’s. The collection consists of over 25,000 negatives and images capturing Greenwich Village and much of the spirit of the late 60s and 70s.
Some of the most well known images in the collection are Fink’s work at “The Piers” along the Hudson River. Fink documented over 25 years of gay life in New York City but his photography was never exhibited or published in his lifetime. He was self taught and used an old 35mm camera while working out of a homemade darkroom in his West 92nd Street apartment. Rich Wandel, an Archivist and Historian for The Center’s National History Archive is currently working on a book of Fink Images that will be released later this summer.

Classic Television - Prime Time
The Rookies
Original channel
ABC
Original run
September 11, 1972 – March 30, 1976
Starring
Georg Stanford Brown
Sam Melville
Michael Ontkean
Kate Jackson
Gerald S. O'Loughlin
The Rookies is an American crime drama series that aired on ABC from 1972 until 1976. It follows the exploits of three rookie police officers working in an unidentified city for the fictitious Southern California Police Department (SCPD).
The series began as an ABC Movie of the Week airing on March 7, 1972, which also served as the pilot for the series. The success of Joseph Wambaugh's book, The New Centurions, as well as NBC's ratings success with Adam-12, had sparked interest at the time in a more realistic depiction and storytelling of the typical uniformed police officer. Although various incidents during the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly in California, had sparked controversy and negative feelings towards police officers in general, The Rookies tried to better humanize the character of a police officer and show the struggles that new, younger men and women (who were often Vietnam-era military veterans and/or college graduates) faced in their lives as law enforcement persons sworn to serve and protect the public. This 'new breed' of cop was a main theme, especially in the early years of the series.
The TV movie features five rookies newly arrived at a police academy in southern California: cadets Jared Whitman (Robert F. Lyons), Kevin Lassiter (Jeff Pomerantz), Mike Danko (Sam Melville), William "Willie" Gillis (Michael Ontkean), and Terry Webster (Georg Stanford Brown), all coming from different backgrounds including the military, college, and social work. The cadets' training sergeant was Eddie Ryker, played by Darren McGavin. (In the series, Sgt. Ryker had been recently promoted to lieutenant and was played by Gerald S. O'Loughlin.) The character of Jill Danko also appeared in the movie pilot, but was played by another actress, Jennifer Billingsley, and the part was recast for the series with Kate Jackson as Jill Danko, a registered nurse.

Comfortable in my own skin in 'as is' condition. Content in the country in the warm seasons. Equally content being 'that' rowdy guy ruining a bar in the city.
Unapologetically partnered and polyamorous. Would not have it any other way: relationships exist beyond the 1:1.
Not one to look, more to be found. Open to short term or something more on the regular scale of things preferable and chemistry pending. Clean shaven does nothing for me nor does piss poor attitudes. Chat is an ice breaker. I am a one-on-one 'have a beer' type all the way over chatting.
