AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION

davidActor David Carradine, star of the Kill Bill movies and and Kung Fu TV series, has been found dead naked after reports claiming an apparent sex act went wrong - similar to how INXS singer Michael Hutchence died. A police officer said: "A rope was attached to his neck and also to his penis". Carradine, a legendary figure in cult movie and TV circles, was found hanged in a wardrobe of his Bangkok hotel room. The US embassy in the Thai capital confirmed the death of the 72-year-old Carradine, who was in Thailand to shoot a film called "Stretch". Police said Carradine's body was found around 11.30am local time on Thursday hanging by his neck in the closet of his hotel room. The officer responsible for investigating the death, Teerapop Luanseng, said: "I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet." READ MORE OF THE STORY HERE

Come "Out" On RollingStone!

adam-lambert-holds-handThe New York Post is reporting that "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert may be coming out as a gay man on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. A source told the Post that Lambert "didn't want it to be an issue during the contest, but he's fine with his sexuality." During this season of "American Idol," photos were released that showed Lambert kissing another man and dressed in drag. Lambert has previously addressed questions about his sexual orientation by saying that people should "keep speculating." "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi told "The View" host Barbara Walters , "I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out." Asked if Lambert's flamboyant style may have contributed to his loss to Kris Allen, DioGuardi said, "I hope not. Because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry, and they both had that." Rolling Stone would not confirm Lambert's coming out in the magazine. "We don't comment on future covers," a representative told the New York Post. adamlambertboyfriend_230American Idol's Adam Lambert is in love with Drake LaBry and proud of it. The couple went public on Monday night at the West Hollywood nightclub Guys and Dolls. They arrived together at around 11pm and looked like they were ready to party.

The Gay Confederacy

compfedgayflagSome folks believe that if a man is gay, he is less than a man. In fact the Southern Baptists and other Southern Holy Rollers in and around the buckle of the Bible Belt think of a gay man as a person as some sort of a demon called up from the pits of hell. Homophobia runs deep in the south. Living in the closet or living out a double-life is all so common in the southern states. I have always found Southern American history interesting and I really love to read gay Southern history. Unfortunately there is not a great deal of it documented. For so long many believed that the gay experience was urban and that sexual freedom was only found in bigger cities. The assumption was that rural areas regulated untraditional sexual practices. However, gay culture and gay sex existed and is quite flourishing in small towns and communities throughout the south. southern-states2Gay history is always in the making and I believe we are living in a day and age that is very fascinating, as fascinating as the Stonewall Riots 40 years ago. The Advocate has a great account of the pioneers who never knew a time before Stonewall in their June/July Double Issue in honor of the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Be sure to check it out, as it lists 40 people under 40 years old and their dedication to the promise of the pioneers who came before them. I wanted to give you my take on my gay history that I grew up around and with by sharing with you some things about a film I think you would really enjoy and a film which contains the only known video footage of Matthew Shepard before his death while he was a college student in North Carolina. More than a decade has passed since Tim Kirkman filmed his Emmy-nominated documentary Dear Jesse, yet the piece retains its significance as one of the first accounts of the divisive rhetoric that has come to characterize American politics. This short film is a first-person compare-and-contrast between the gay filmmaker and the notoriously conservative Jesse Helms, who served five terms as a Republican senator from North Carolina. Kirkman, who grew up in a Monroe, North Carolina, seeks to understand what motivates decent, “God-fearing” people to practice the politics of hate.

In 1972, Helms became the first Republican to represent North Carolina in the U.S. Senate since the 19th century. His conservative politics quickly earned him the moniker “Senator No” -- that is, no affirmative action, no abortion, no gay rights. Despite his tendency toward intolerance, Helms would become the longest-serving popularly elected U.S. senator in his state's history. Yet it would be a mistake to characterize North Carolina as a state other than one built on “churches and banks,” says local theater director Steve Umberger. His production of Angels in America, a play sympathetic to gays and people with AIDS, met with firm disapproval from conservative Carolinians. And the state was and still is very much composed of middle-class Americans who respect Helms for his consistent -- albeit bigoted -- rhetoric. Although times have changed -- the 1998 film was produced before same-sex marriage was legalized in Massachusetts -- Kirkman shows us that we are still a nation deeply divided over issues of moral “right” and “wrong.” And he points to the toll that this division can take on the American public.
[PLAYLIST not found]

The movie concludes with a short clip of Matthew Shepard, interviewed with his boyfriend at Catawba College in North Carolina two years before his tragic death. Not included in the original documentary, the 1998 tape included the footage as a reminder that a lack of tolerance can breed violence. “This is the only footage I have of Matthew,” Kirkman comments on the film. “It's not fair. It isn't enough.” And it isn't enough to encompass the vitality of the young man. But it does serve to emphasize the necessity for understanding -- on both sides of the divide. dearjessebuyCLICK HERE TO REVIEW AND ORDER DEAR JESSE This telling documentary is an "open letter" to Jesse Helms, the infamously conservative "Senator No." Director Kirkman, a 25-year-old gay man and North Carolina native, who left for the more liberal world of New York returns in this personal quest for understanding and perspective.

Closet Case ?

Chace Crawford Still Denying He's Gay.

So yeah yeah, Chace Crawford's agents still have him convinced that his career will be in the toilet if he admits to liking guys. He can now only pose with footballs, only shag J.C. Chasez when there are no paparazzi around, and only go to the Chelsea Equinox on off hours and refrain from any steam room play.  But chuckle chuckle, he takes all the gay rumors in stride, insisting "you haven't made it unless there's been a gay rumour [sic] about you." The big revelation from this UK Metro interview? Chace reads. Like, actual books. If we are to take him at his word (which clearly we can't about the gay stuff), he's reading two books at once: marketing bible, The Tipping Point and David Lynch's Catching the Big Fish, which is a little arty book about transcendental meditation. Someone's feeling kinda sophisticated!
Anyway, we'd still do him, and we'd love to know if he considers himself a "connector" a "maven" or a "salesman."
