Mpox
No cases of clade 1b outside Africa this last week. Sill spreading in Africa.
Maybe more travelers are getting vaccinated before they go to Africa. Maybe it is just luck (statistical variation.)
This is what undermines the fighting spirit of Gays.
When I raised the issue, he backtracked and said that it was his attitude when he was a teenager. Maybe it was or wasn’t, but I think this is the actual viewpoint of a lot of Gays. They have acquiesced to be Gay, they don’t think of it as winning the lottery. I call them zero Gays. They don’t really have any self-worth, though they think they do.
2023 Gallup Poll, LGBTQ+ Identification. Cosplaying sexual identities.
Republished this as a separate item since I am going to be showing how the 2024 Gallup Poll LGBTQ+ news doesn’t give a full picture. Gallup reporting is politicized. The breakdown of the data that was available in 2023, wasn’t available in the 2024 report. The 2023 data shows that basically this supposed increase of LGBTQ+ is just young women thinking they are Bi.
First Openly Gay Imam shot dead in South Africa.

Todd’s Gay Journey. Fanfare for a Hairy Man.
Likes to play the organ. Composed a musical piece. For your entertainment.

Stonewall Charity in the UK was heavily funded by USAID.
They promoted the homogender ideology for Ga identity and that we should be open to dating transmen.
I am concerned about the Gays getting HIV treatment in poor nations in programs that the USAID channeled through Stonewall. Lots of Gay people might die.
It is notable that homophobic trangender ideology was being funded by the U.S. government. Stonewall Charity didn’t need Gay support.
Tech Censorship
I don’t know if this will benefit Gay artists who face censorship, likely it won’t help, but I don’t know.
This is a Gay comedy in Korea.
They are releasing it on YouTube, I have seen it on Vimeo. The comedy is that the Gay couple thinks that the visiting younger brother of one of them doesn’t know they are a Gay couple. The reality is that mom knows and has sent the younger brother to check out her son’s lover to make sure he isn’t some bad person.
This is not BL, but a Gay comedy. Much of Gay life in urban China is like Gay life here in the United States.
For some reason they gave it the English title of Bromance, but it is not.
You can use the above two Gay comedies as BL’s to support the BL phenomenon.
The BL fan base doesn’t know the difference.
Started giving relationship advice.
Getting a boyfriend and keeping a boyfriend is the single most important issue for Gays everywhere. I have had a boyfriend for 86% of my life, and very long term relationships. I am thinking I must know something. Or at least my husband does.

Most Gay prostitutes are operating on their own.
I am concerned about their welfare, since they are part of the community. I don’t necessarily have any developed thoughts, but it is an issue we need to deal with.
My first thought is that this is the oldest profession, likely always to be here, and if that is so, we need to make sure the Gays in it are safe and healthy.
I also think their health is of concern to the broader community. They have clients, and the health problems from these working men can spread to the general community.

Getting vaccinated is a strategic advantage over homophobic Christians
Homophobic Christians are often anti-vaxxers. We get vaccinated and live, they don’t and die or are disabled or at least sick for a while and can’t go after us. Get vaccinated. I am not sure what the future will bring regarding vaccination, so get it now while you can.
Still adding in additional Gay artists each week.
Bluesky artists.
Foundation for Individual Rights in Education demands police art work be returned to Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Updated1,2,3.
Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas target of rightwing outrage.
Otherwise magazine has vicious homophobic attack.
The story was stealth distributed on the Critical Geography Listserv
It was stealth in that the email distributed on the listserv obscured what the article was about. I did a post on the listserv explaining that it was stealth homophobia.
This was my reply. After the reply you can see the original email I responded to.

Report on the American Fellowship of Cowboy Churches.
Another federation of anti-Gay churches national in scope but concentrated in Texas. I really do live in the belly of he beast. This report is going to be used as a reference in another report on a significant anti-Gay Texas politician, Sid Miller.
Another Baptist group of homophobes.
I am still doing research on the homophobia of churches in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
This is something a Gay person could do in heir town.
Series about the haka attack on the Auckland pride and having an effective defense.
Posts on the Critical Geography Listserv.
I made a directory of the posts. I will be doing probably this at least twice a month.
This is the latest post since last week.
