20230213 Gay art, Pope Francis says Gay is a sin, my local newsletter bypasses the queer establisment. Phallic temples in Bhutan.
My local newsletter and how it bypasses the LGBTQXYZ establishment.
VIEW THE NEWSLETTER ON THE WEB
I think some of the mail programs mangle up the post in the email program presentation. Outlook does. Also, I sometimes can only see typos and grammatical monstrosities after it is published and I correct them.

KIRILL FADEYEV ARTIST WITH A COMICAL SENSE
I added his twitter account to Gay artists on Twitter page. If you know of a twitter artists I have overlooked let me know in the comments.
I am still thinking how to showcase Gay artists and how I will structure it using Substack hosting site limits. But I thought I would put in a few artists in this newsletter while I am at it.
WROTE MY LOCAL CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE A LETTER ABOUT THE POOR GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO MPOX (MONKEYPOX).
The Alphabet Soup is squeamish about STDs and this is an opening for a real Gay politics to bypass the LGBTQXYZ.
Feel free to copy my letter. Consider doing a newsletter for your local community. Substack is free. My Dallas subscription base is now 103 people. So I am beginning to bypass the local LGBTQXYZ and queer establishment. Basically, I report on what they donโt want to report on, but is of interest to Gays.
NEOLIBERAL VERSUS THE TERM LIBERAL
I think a lot of people donโt understand that neoliberal and liberal are two very different things. Neoliberals advance a lot of what might be thought of as liberal social and cultural positions, but at the same time have conservative economics. I summed it up as โEconomic Inequality without racial bias.โ
The current dominance of queer theory and the LGBTQXYZ initialism is a product of the contemporary neoliberal university and neoliberal political order.
So when I talk about neoliberal donโt confuse it with liberal.
UPDATED. POPE FRANCIS CLARIFIES HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN.
The update is towards the end of the following previous post. Pope Francis made a point of clarifying that homosexuality is a sin, he just doesnโt want to see Gays criminalized. It is interesting that in 2023 that his type of anti-Gay toleration is hailed as some type of positive thing by the LGBTQXYZ media.

ABUSE OF INTELLIGENCE TOOLS TO GO AFTER DOMESTIC OPPOSITION
I think we need to understand how this might be used against Gays and what would be our counter measures. I donโt think typing โG@yโ instead of โGay,โ is going to be enough to be a countermeasure. Just something to think about.
I think all the excuses made for the abuses are just excuses. Obviously it was known that this type of abuse was going on. With the recent election they are finding that they are going to be called on it.
There is a lot of partisan politics over this, but I think we should step away as Gay people, and calmly think about what we would do facing this type of survelliance in the future. I suppose the Chinese Gays probably would have a lot to tell us, but I donโt have anyway to get that information.
TYPES OF GAY FILMS I AM NOT INTERESTED IN
1.ย ย ย ย ย ย The tragedy Gay film. I know that coming out is difficult. I did in the 1970s. I need to see a Gay film where the story isnโt about one or more of them dying or being victimized. Especially where the director decided to have the film have a tragedy to make it โartisticโ and โdeep.โ
2.ย ย ย ย ย Films which feel that Gay sexual liberation means you will have a bad end or not find love or regret it in some way. The anti-sexual liberation film produced by some Gays.
3.ย ย ย ย ย Films where they struggle and are tormented by their Gay identity. I did it a little in the 1970s. I suppose this film needs to be done a couple times each decade to reflect changing times for the generation of that time. I am not watching them though.
4.ย ย ย ย ย The film which suggests there is Gay content, but there isnโt.
I am just venting. There is not actionable item here.
R/GAYTRANSGUYS
Not a lot to report this last week. Mostly they just stumble into the future wanting to be Gay men.
Deception by omission rationalized.
https://www.reddit.com/r/gaytransguys/comments/10v2tnw/when_do_you_tell_someone_youre_trans/
In many ways the subreddit is a tragic record. However, it also documents some of the problems that Gays face from transmen claiming to be Gay men and keeps Gays informed what type of community they are dealing with.
These links are collected into posts. When one post fills up another is started. There are links from one post to the next post and the previous post.
CLAIMS HIS ART IS A.I. GENERATED
The art seems to be images which are somewhat between cartoons and photographs. I tried Stablediffusionweb.com which I thought was used, but they have prohibition on some terms like โnudeโ and even using negative prompts with regular prompts meant censored outputs.
I did ask him how he generated his art, hopefully I get an answer.
WRITER UPSET THAT THE AI GENERATOR IS BEING USED FOR SEXUAL CONTENT
https://www.kapwing.com/blog/our-ai-art-generator-isnt-being-used-to-generate-art/
There seems to be a censorious attitude with AI generated art that people might want it to use it to generate images they want.
I think that the software might possibly generate Gay art, but that censorious attitudes will block it.
A.I. ART GENERATORS SEEM TO BE OVERRATED โ OR MAYBE NOT. SEE NEXT POST.
The censorship of โnudeโ and โhomoeroticโ is just one issue. They generally just donโt seem to work very well. I did some testing of the leading A.I. art generators and this was the result. However, it seems that some A.I. Art generators are much more competent than others.
A.I. ART GENERATOR HAS BETTER OUTPUT BUT STILL LIMITED
There is still the issue of censorship and a sameness of style.
Subscriptons are free
Please feel free to share my art: www.MorganJ.com or from Twitter, @MorganJart While Iโm not exclusively painting homoerotic images, I do feature nude males and am gay myself. Cheers
