Kwanten Leap… Is True Blood actor about to come out?


via BOY CULTURE
Hmmm, if Ryan Kwanten is about to come out as gay—as Perez Hilton is hearing, and is reporting on Facebook—he’d be a pretty big heartthrob and interesting test case. Hope it’s true, if he’s gay in the first place.

P.S. Kwanten’s younger brother Lloyd, a doc, is apparently openly gay as well. And openly cute, too!

Tamotsu Yato: Homoerotic Photography in 60’s Japan

Via The International Cool Hunting Magazine:

“Tamotsu Yato (矢頭保), a photographer working in Japan from the mid-60s to the early 70s, created images of Japanese men that had a currency and evocativeness that were rare for his time. In his less-than-a-decade-long career, he photographed constantly and sometimes furiously, pointing his camera at friends, friends of friends, bodybuilding competitions, mens’ festivals and non-professional models from Tokyo’s thriving urban culture. Eventually, he developed the photographs into three distinct bodies of work which were published as “Young Samurai” (体道:日本のボディビルダーたち), “Naked Festival” (裸祭り) and “Otoko” (男 – Man). The last, “Otoko”, was inspired to a great degree by the photographer’s close friendship with novelist Yukio Mishima. Yato’s photographs portrayed a Japanese masculinity distinctly contrary to stereotypes, absolutely contemporary, wholly masculine, and completely Japanese. His death in 1973 cut short a pictorial investigation which promised to go deeper into a territory with little parallel or precedent.”

FORESKIN MAN! Support Anti-Circumcision Bill With Anti-Semitic Hero ‘Foreskin Man’

4

MAX READ @ THE GAWKER:

What better way to show your support for the San Francisco circumcision-ban ballot measure than by picking up a copy of “Foreskin Man No. 2,” in which the suspiciously Aryan “intactivist” superhero battles “Monster Mohel”?

“Nothing excites Monster Mohel more” , the Foreskin Man trading cards helpfully inform us, “than cutting into the penile flesh of an eight-day-old infant boy.” He sure does seem excited, doesn’t he? He also seems a little bit, uh, how you say, racist? Whoa there, P.C. police! The San Francisco Chronicle’s Debra Saunders asked creator Matthew Hess if the comic was anti-Semitic, to which Hess replied, “A lot of people have said that, but we’re not trying to be anti-Semitic. We’re trying to be pro-human rights.”

So there you have it. There’s nothing anti-Semitic about “Foreskin Man”! It’s just a delightful, family-friendly comic book about a guy who… I guess he owns, like, a circumcision museum? And he has these magic… boots? And, uh, there’s this gang of, I think, hippie bikers? “The Intactivist Underground”? Who steal stuff from hospitals? It’s kind of a trip.
