NextDoorStudios, the company famous for its condom-only productions, has announced the relaunch of its partner site MaleDigital.com. NextDoor’s president Stephan Sirard proudly tells XBiz:

Male Digital was one of the first partners within the Next Door Buddy  Profits program, and we are very excited to work with them to launch  this amazing new site. Given the immense selection of studios and  content, this site will prove to be a great hit with consumers and our  affiliates.

That selection of studios includes US Male, East Time, Eagle Video, and Raw Rooster, all of which produce hardcore bareback movies like Raw Passion, Bareback Beginners 16, and Creampie Painters. In 2010, Sirard controversially did not renew gay porn star Mason Wyler’s contract after he turned up HIV positive, and while their “partners” can apparently do whatever they want, NextDoor itself maintains a strict “condoms only” and full testing policy on all of their productions. Unless it’s a Cody Cummings production.

Sibling’s comment on You Tube:

“So: my brother came out that he was bisexual last year and it was one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do and one of the most courageous. He was most nervous about coming out to my old school Italian father who can be a bit of a hardass but mush at heart. So my brother decided to get Born This Way tattooed on his wrist in Gaga’s handwriting after he met her, for obvious reasons, and it meant -and still does- a lot to him. My dad yesterday (before Dylan came home for spring break) got Born This Way (in Italian) tattooed on his wrist to show his acceptance and deep love for his only son who he is so proud of every day. I love my family.”

THE SWORD:

Because who better to lend their support to the fight for equal rights and gay marriage than the company who designed that thing you used to find someone to suck your cock the other night?

“With more than 3 million users, Grindr, the premier all male geo-social  network app, is announcing the use of their location-based technology to  bring together a global community through Grindr for Equality, a social  movement to raise awareness for GLBT issues and spur action across the  globe.”

“There is strength in numbers and Grindr for Equality will enable our  users to use our platform for the greater good of our community,” said  Joel Simkhai, Founder and CEO.

Just look at all of these men who want to fuck me, but first, let me update them about marriage equality in Maryland. Also, while a tranny may have been denied use of a women’s restroom in a Chili’s, I’m only 185 feet away.

HUFFPOST:

Using words like “faggot,” “dyke,” and “tranny” to define oneself and other members of the LGBT community has long been a contentious topic.

While some maintain that the words should be avoided at all costs because of how stigmatizing and demoralizing they can be, others believe that the words lose their negative associations and become empowering when they are reclaimed by LGBT people.

In the first installment of our Change My Mind debate series, we challenge two members of the LGBT community to defend their views on the controversial issue.

Speaking against the use of words like “faggot,” “dyke,” and “tranny,” is Mara Keisling, the founding Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. Keisling has received numerous awards from PFLAG, the Equality Forum, GayLaw, the Transgender Law Center, the Harvard Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Alliance and Out for Work, among others, and is a frequent speaker at events, colleges, and government agencies.

“Words like “tranny,” “faggot,” “dyke,” “illegal,” “retard,” and “lame” are often used to stereotype and marginalize people. Some people who are the targets feel that they are hateful, cruel words. That’s enough for me.” – Keisling

Speaking in favor of using the words is Randall Jenson, the Executive Director of SocialScope Productions, a Chicago non-profit focused on LGBTQ and gender documentaries. Jenson created the “50Faggots” series, which documents the lives of self-identified effeminate gay men in the U.S. and has been a featured speaker at the National ACLU Membership Conference in Washington D.C., on The Oprah Show, and awarded the “Youth Impact Award” by the National Youth Advocacy Coalition.

“We are faggots. We are dykes. We are trannies. One of the most important things we can do is stop thinking of these as disgraceful and start thinking about how these words can encompass queer identities that orientation labels like “gay,” “lesbian,” and “transgender” can’t cover. ” – Jenson
