A transman walks into a Gay bar.
The cat (Gay) gets upset when the dog (transman) starts trying to sniff him. A little rough humor, but it is a satire on transmen who decide that they are going to be Gay and try to push themselves onto Gay men.
Updated the list of Twitter Gay artists. Over a dozen added in.
What social media platforms do readers recommend?
I am constantly facing censorship on Reddit. People like my posts, but the moderators are ninnies and don’t like them.
Give me suggestions in the comments.
Tiny URLs in the Gay Art Facebook Groups are often links to dangerous sites.
My MalwareBytes software is blocking connecting to a lot of the tiny urls in one of the Gay art Facebook groups. Beware.
If you see a Facebook group with a lot of tiny urls it might be that the Facebook Gay art group is set up to spread malware.
I did report unsafe site tiny urls in one of the Gay art group and they reported me to Facebook and Facebook bought into their accusation and warned me. I left from the Queer and Gay Art Facebook group.
This movement gets crazier and crazier. It could get in the way of us getting the HIV mRNA vaccine.
Missouri might ban mRNA vaccines. Currently the HIV vaccine under development and most likely to succeed is an mRNA vaccine.
It is because of articles like this, which have nothing of interest to nearly most Gay men, why I have the Gay Art Project.
Gay art should be about what it is that makes us Gay as opposed to straight. Part of that is our sexual desires. Gay art would also be about those circumstances Gays generally find themselves in. If you had a Gay artist who did pottery, it isn’t really Gay art, even though he might be good at it and the ceramics he makes are really beautiful if it isn’t about something about Gay life.
I did a Google search, “Who are the best contemporary Gay male painters?”
One of the articles I got was the following. You can see that they really don’t want to report on Gay art that Gays generally would be interested in.

Google, unless you put quotation marks “ “ on both sides of the word, uses synonyms for a word, so I got this article with about eight “queer” artists. One of the artists might be of interest to Gay people, maybe two, and “Hurts so good” seems like the product of a self-censoring artist or a picture that ARTnews readers wouldn’t be shocked by.
Generally, when you use Google or try the art magazines you tend to find subdued Gay art or very abstract art which is absolutely avoiding desire.
That is why I have been making an effort to collect information about Gay artists who make Gay art that the great majority of Gays would be interested in. Gay art builds Gay identity, but it needs to be art that has a Gay identity and it needs to be art that Gays will actually view.

Rubbish by the Advocate. Or how “LGBT” label obscures Gay identity.
I have a task to make a list of Gay gods for a local effort to have a Gay pagan shrine here in Dallas, Texas. I am a published scholar so I am helping out.
I come across this article, “19 LBGT Hindu Gods,” in the Advocate.
https://www.advocate.com/religion/2016/9/06/19-lgbt-hindu-gods#toggle-gdpr
I think great and start reading it. How many of the gods in this article were Gay or Lesbian? ZERO.
It turns out that these are Gods which are “non-binary” or “gender fluid” or “cross-dressing.” Some god will manifest as a man one time or a woman another time to have heterosexual sex with another god, and so that god is classified by the article as “LGBT.” The fact is that in each manifestation there is no same-sex activity or romance is irrelevant for the writer of the article, they are “LGBT,” an all-encompassing and endlessly elastic category.
One supposed LGBT God, #17 Samba, dresses up as a woman to “sneak in the company of women to seduce” them. Sounds heterosexual to me, even a little rapey, but since he is wearing a dress, this is “LGBT” to the Advocate.
One god Agni is married to a goddess Svaha, and has some relations with male gods. So at the most there is one bisexual god. Even so it isn’t clear if it is really just some symbolic activity or a relationship. Further, I suspect that the author might not be entirely true to the actual historical records.
It also wasted my time since I had to go through the entire article to see that perhaps there might be one Gay god.
The LGBTQ+ initialism works as a block to Gay information getting to Gays.

This post recommends a guide to “Gay” transmen which includes getting sex without informed consent. I have my review of this guide in a post at the end of this newsletter.
In this following post the transman deceives and hasn’t figured out that his intended victim figured it out. The transman states, “I hadn’t come out to him as trans.” Obviously he figured it out and moved on. Tried to spare the transman’s feeling with an explanation that they didn’t have “chemistry.” Transman isn’t facing up to the reality that Gays aren’t going to have sex with transmen.

Reality is so very cruel to the following transman. Don’t tell transmen what you are thinking.
ChatGPT can’t find Gay art much at all.
I am going to have a part 2 for this. I tried to find Thai artists and the ChatGPT just scolded me.
Showcased Gay Artists this last week. Next week I am going to do dioramas and sculpture.
