States for Same-Sex Marriage

Same-sex marriage is currently the biggest issue facing the LGBTQ community.  The controversy has been debated recently over the years; however, several countries have opted out of the discussion.  In the United States of America, some states have legalized same-sex marriage.  These places are considered to be the best setting for gay partners who want to get hitched.

The following states have legalized same-sex marriage:

By Court Decision

California, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New Mexico.

By State Legislature

Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

By Popular Vote

Maine, Maryland and Washington.

To date, several European Union countries, and also New Zealand, have legalized marriage equality too. LGBTQ activist organizations and their supporters around the world have considered the redefinition of marriage in these countries as an example for change in the marriage laws of their respective countries. However, even though there are pieces of evidence that support such request, most of the governments do not give favorable verdict to this case.

Additional: Pending for Approval

Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Virginia and Texas.

Does Size Really Matter?

Penis comes in different sizes genetically. This means that a man’s penis size is relative to his father’s size. If two men have the same height and weight, it doesn't necessarily signify that they have similar sizes. Penis, like human, is unique (you won’t be able to know it unless you see or try).

Penis size, manhood size, cock size, dick size or whatever you call it, is one of the issues that is talked about frequently by women and homosexuals in terms of their sexual desires. Mostly, they prefer men with bigger sizes compared to those who have smaller ones. Many of them believe that the bigger and the longer the cock is the better. The satisfaction it brings during sexual penetration is different from those who have small or medium dicks.

On the other side, some women and gays do not agree to what is generally liked. For them, the skills in doing the sexual intercourse matter most. A deep penetration can be sometimes painful; thus, a man must be wise enough to know if his partner feels uncomfortable already. According to some women, the most satisfying spot to theirs is not located inside. This means that it doesn't require a large cock to get in to satisfy them.

Large penises can be very painful to homosexuals too especially if anal sex is performed. A human anus has no capability to secrete fluids like what vagina does; making the anus very hard to open once the penis is inserted.

To sum it up, every woman and gay has different need when it comes to man’s penis size since sexual gratification varies from people to people. Generally, they prefer men with big cocks but there are still some who are satisfied with small or medium sizes.

DISCREET GAYS

Have you heard about discreet homosexuals? How about straight-acting gays?

Wherever part of this world, gays are really rampant. They can be found in any field of work. Gays are very noticeable in fashion, education, health care and arts sectors. They can be also present even in a manly field of work. These people are called discrete gays. They act like straight men but deep inside their body, they are bounded with femininity. Most of these people are common in armed forces, politics and religious divisions.

According to some, being gay is not a choice because if it is so, when did those straight men decided to be straight? Gays are born to be gays. It is just that they are classified into different kinds.

Gays are very obvious in wearing make-ups and dressing like a typical woman way back years ago. In just a single glance, you would be able to identify their true genders. In this new modern society, some gays can be sometimes deceiving. They may look and act like typical straight men.

Some of them go to the gym to have toned muscles and some are working in a field that is filled mostly with straight men. Discrete gays are those homosexuals that can be hardly identified if they are straight or not. Examples to this kind are those gays found in armed forces. They can be hardly recognized because of the nature of their work that requires them to be firm in posture at all times. They are the gays who are afraid to show off their true identity because of their occupations. Imagine if cops are obviously gays, do you think criminals would still get scared to them? Isn't it awkward that a policeman knows how to do parlor stuff like curling of hair? These are the reasons why gays are classified. Gays act the way they do not only because it’s their choice but because of the jobs they have too.

Gays are indeed in everywhere, whether you like them or not, they will always be part of the society. If women are competing with other women way back years ago, women are now competing with gays too. It is very common today that same sex relationships between two men occurs, either discrete or not. Even gender inequality is present; the populace of gays around the world is still continuously increasing.

HOOK-UP STORY

Last 28^th of December 2013, somebody added me on Facebook named Ben. I didn’t know who he was but, his face on his profile picture is quite familiar to me, maybe I saw him  somewhere in the city. Because I wanted to be acquainted with the members of my friends list, I checked his timeline information, photos and friends. I really didn’t know where did he got my FB account, but it seemed we don’t have connections. Since he was online at that time, I immediately messaged him if we really knew each other. I asked him some personal information and it took me few minutes for waiting to his respond. At that moment, I was thinking that the account that I just accepted is a hoax one.

Not later than 30 minutes, my FB chat box beeped. “As I checked your profile, I think I added a wrong person. Sorry for this." he said. Because I felt strange with his very short profile info and he definitely looked attractive on his public photos, I asked him more questions and made him comfortable talking with me. As our conversation got longer and longer, I believed he wouldn't get mad if I raised very personal question, so I asked him if he was gay.

I really thought he got offended when I questioned him that way because he was not able to reply immediately. But, after a few moments he said "Yes!" Because he’s gay, good-looking and very mannered in answering my questions, I kept on chatting him. I say, I was interested to him. I bet he was neither bored nor irritated with me because he too laughed when I joke. I felt that there was something special connection between us.

To forward the story, I actually asked him more sensitive questions. I knew he might get off with my questions but, I am very glad he didn’t. So, we talked about our sex lives, including our experiences and desires.  It was really a fast track that we got to that point, as if we were in hurry because 2013 will end so soon (Lol). But yes, we were comfortable talking about it. Because he got humor too, I invited him for meet ups the next day. He was really hesitant to say yes at first but, he still agreed to meet me. Right at that moment, we exchanged phone numbers for easy messaging. We set the place and time like what others usually do. Because he wanted to make it private, he chose to meet me in a private place. At that time, I could hardly think any private place aside from a motel (by the way, our planned time was 3 p.m.). When I suggested the D’Morvie Inn along Velez St., he did not agree on it instead, he recommended another place – a KTV Room. He actually did not like to meet me in a motel for a reason that there were people might see him when he gets in. He was afraid that people might make issues out of it.

To make it further, On December 27, 2013, around 3p.m., we met at Jollibee in the city and transferred right away to a closer KTV Bar. When we were in and everything was set, the videoke and a bucket of beer, we turned off the lights and talked while watching music videos. Actually, that place was intended for us to sing, since we wanted to chat, we just keyed in plenty of music videos and played them.

When both of us were heated with the beer we drunk, we had agreed to try something different. Because we were both tipsy at that time, he invited me to give him a blow, and since I wanted it too, I did not refuse his offer. Since then, we kissed torridly while I am gently rubbing his tool. I honestly love his cock though; it’s one of the huge cocks I’ve tried (around 7 inches, not an average size of an Asian). Given that we were time bounded at that moment, actions were getting faster and faster. I unzipped him so fast and then sucked his huge tool. I knew he loved the way I did it because he was moaning lustily. Even though I can’t give him a deep-throat blow because of his size, he still loved the way I play my tongue to his hot cock. When he began to climax, he held my head with his one hand and pumped me hard to his. I knew he was so horny at that moment because he was lifting his butt already from the sofa while pushing my head back and forth to his dick. I actually tasted his sweet and salty “pre-cum” at that point and I knew, not too long, he will blow his semen to my mouth. When both of us were so hot and the motion was doubled, somebody knocked on the door. We were so shocked. So, we stopped what we’re and fixed ourselves quickly. We knew that was the attendant knocking the door, reminding our reserved time has ended. Not later than five minutes, we left the room, paid the bill and went home individually as if nothing happened.

It was really a funny experience but as a person who seldom do sexual hookups, I find it nice. We are actually still texting right now. Because our first sex was not through, we have decided to meet on the 28^th of February 2014 at his place to continue. He said he will make sure to give me a full blast by that time and I am looking forward to that.

This casual hookup is based on true experience of Alvin, 23 years old and an HRM student.

ANTI-GAY BILL IN UGANDA

Anti-Gay Law in Uganda is one of the contentious issues today making the LGBT community reacted differently. Many believe that this newly signed law exercises gender discrimination obviously. Below is the news today (dated on February 24, 2014) about anti-gay bill in Uganda from http://www.aljazeera.com/.

Uganda's president signed a controversial anti-gay bill that allows harsh penalties for "homosexual offences".

"The president has just signed the anti-homosexuality bill," said presidential spokeswoman Sarah Kagingo, calling it a "landmark" law, the Reuters news agency reported.

Earlier in the day, Ugandan Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said, the president "wants to sign it with the full witness of the international media to demonstrate Uganda's independence in the face of Western pressure and provocation." 

The bill is popular in Uganda, but rights groups have condemned it as draconian in a country where homosexuality is already illegal.

Museveni's decision to sign the bill comes less than a week since he announced plans to put the bill on hold to give scientists a chance to prove that homosexuality could be triggered by genes and is not a "lifestyle choice".

"Aggravated homosexuality"

The  law punishes first-time offenders with 14 years in jail. It also sets life imprisonment as the penalty for acts of "aggravated homosexuality".

The  bill originally proposed the death penalty for some homosexual acts, but that was later removed amid international criticism.

US  President Barack Obama has urged Museveni not to sign the bill, saying doing so would "complicate" the east African country's relationship with Washington.

Uganda  is a key Western ally in the fight against Islamic extremism in Somalia where Ugandan troops have formed the backbone of the African Union peacekeeping force battling al Qaeda-aligned fighters.

LIFE EXPECTANCY OF HIV VICTIMS REACHES ALMOST AVERAGE LEVEL

According to Huffington Post, an online news aggregator and blog, the existence expectancy of HIV victims raises seemingly the same to normal. Base on the conducted investigation from the 23,000 sample victims, ages from 20 and above in US and Canada between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2007, the life expectancies of HIV positives have dramatically reached the average levels.

There were 1,622 deaths in the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration, which contributed 82,022 person years to the study, for a crude mortality rate of 19.8 per 1,000 person years. During 2000 to 2002, the life expectancy for a 20-year-old was an additional 36 years. By 2006 to 2007, this figure had leapt to 51 years, so that a 20-year-old could, on average, expect to live into his or her early 70s—almost as long as the general population.

There were key differences in life expectancies between the different subpopulations. There were no significant gender differences in life expectancy except in the 2006 to 2007 period, when the women reached 47 additional years of life expectancy past age 20 and the men 53. Men who have sex with men (MSM) had an expected 69 years of life past 20 by the end of the study period, compared with 29 years for injection drug users—whose life expectancy was essentially flatlined at around 30 years past 20. Non-whites, while still trailing whites, made significant headway in closing the gap. Whites began the study with 53 years and ended it with 57 years of life expectancy past 20, while non-whites started with 30 years and ended with 48. Those with a CD4 count of at least 350, measured when they began, or within six months of beginning, antiretrovirals, had 69 years of life expectancy past 20 in the final period of the study, compared with 47 years for those with CD4 levels below this threshold.

On the other note, the findings do not necessarily mean that it is okay to acquire HIV disease. It is still important to be vigilant and be conscious enough to what we are doing.  Always practice safe sex as much as possible for  HIV kills.

A CASUAL SEX STORY

It was a very windy night of November 9, 2013 when I met Matt in person at a restaurant where there were only few customers. We actually met first in Planetromeo (PR), an online gay/bisexual dating site, a month prior to the date we decided to see each other. Because we are both professionals and we consider ourselves as discrete gays, we did not share any social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and even our photos and phone numbers are in private. PR is our only means to communicate. We have talked on a variety of topics like movies, gadgets, current news, politics and the most interesting of all, SEX, which is our subject most of the time. But, we did not try to open very personal decent topics. We actually have the same interest when it comes to sexual pleasures. Our desires really connect to each other. Our almost day to day chat within one month is really superb. Both of us have learned from the things we shared to each other. In fact, he is really talkative whenever we chatted. I sometimes can’t respond to some of his messages because my one message to him is equivalent to three to five of his. It’s not because I don’t like to answer his questions, I just can’t match his pace. I sometimes feel that I am chatting to an electronic device that can message me so fast.

It was October 29, 2013 when we decided to meet personally but due to conflict of availability, it was not realized yet, our messages in PR still continued. We usually leave messages if we do have time to open the app in our phones. November 6, 2013 was the time we decided again to meet but the same with the first date we set, it did not happen. We were actually not busy at that time it was just that I forgot that I have a commitment on that date to him. So after work, I went home and slept early. I didn’t bother to open my PR anymore at that time. So, early in the morning when I checked my inbox, I had seven messages from him. When I open one, it says, “Where are you now? I am ready. Where shall I meet you? Please reply.” I then immediately responded him with my fake excuse though it’s too late, “Sorry, I was not able to respond you last night. I was sick. I have a cold and cough. I’ll just make it up next time.” I really felt bad at that time. In my mind, I was thinking how he must be pissed off at me for not making what should have been our first meeting. On that day, I never received any message from him; which is unusual for me. So, I message him up more than five times. In the back of my mind, I had a thought that he was really mad at me. So I waited until the next day, November 8, thinking that he might respond to my offline messages. My mentality was truly preoccupied on that day and I was not able to work well. When I got home, I still felt restless until my phone beeped. As I checked my phone, his name, PRMATT, popped up to the screen. I immediately opened it to read his message. I was so surprised; I temporarily forgot my phone’s pass code. When the message was open, I really felt like floating, my heart was beating so fast and my hands were shaking in sweat. “You don’t need to worry dude, I am okay. Sorry I was not able to reply you so soon because I am out of the town for work. I’ll be back tonight” he said. After reading his message, I responded to him immediately. I arranged a date with him for the next day and glad he agreed. We decided the meeting place, time, and our outfits to wear. So, everything was set. 6 o’clock in the evening, after my work, I went to the restaurant we had agreed upon, already prepared from head to toe. I made sure that he won’t be turned off if he sees me. When I got into the restaurant, I sat at the corner table for two and read the menu. I honestly couldn't understand what I was reading at the time. I was really nervous, my knees were shaking and my palms were sweating. As I am reading the menu, my phone beeped. I had an idea that he was the one messaging me. And, as I looked to my phone, his name appeared on the screen. My nervousness was doubled instantly. But, I still composed myself. “I am at the third table to your right” he said. I slowly glance to my right and saw a guy in black shirt. I did not notice him at first ‘coz he was not looking at me. Right at that moment, I felt like going home because of the tension I felt. I say, he was beyond my expectations when I first saw him. He really looked handsome and hot, just think of a tall guy with a Persian beauty with an athletic body. He was really a diamond in the gravel in that place. Not later than 2 minutes, I message him “I saw you now; you can join with me in my table if you want.” So he instantly went to my table and said

“Hello, you are Martin right?”

“Yep! And you are Matt. “

“Yes!”

“Nice to meet you. Please, join me.”

“Thanks.”

To advance the story, we talked on different topics, including personal ones, while eating until we reached the subject that we usually chatted about in PR – Sex. It was awkward to talk about it in that public place but we made sure that no one can hear us. Right then, we decided to try something different aside from talking. Yes, we agreed to have actual sex. We really hadn’t planned for it. But, we knew it was possible, so we were both ready.  It was 7 o’clock when we decided to transfer to a motel, closer the restaurant we are in. So, we hired a taxicab and rode to that place.

203. That was the room number we had checked in to. As we were in the room, sitting on different edges of the bed, both of us were hesitant to move first. We actually couldn’t talk. We just watched cartoons on TV and then smile to each other as our eyes meet. After about ten minutes, he sat beside me. I was really nervous at that moment. It was not my first time to do casual sex. But, I really felt tense. He slowly touched my shoulder, my back, down to my hips. We then kissed torridly. He gradually laid me in bed while we are kissing. I say, he is really the best kisser I’ve tried. Right at that moment, I could feel his manhood was getting bigger and bigger. I slowly touched it and squeezed it gently under his pants. I knew he really liked it because I felt that it was growing more and more firm. He kissed me on my lips so hot, and down to my neck and my chest. That was when I realized that tongue of his had other special uses, aside from food tasting. We then unclothed each other. I could really feel that he has huge bulge under his boxer-briefs. Then he lay on the bed and tried to tease me with his facial expressions. So, I kissed his chest to his nipples while touching his manhood. And he began growling sensuously. I licked from his erect nipple down to his abs and to his cock; his huge cock. While growling, I sucked him sensually. When he began to climax, he held my head with his two big hands while I gave him a blow job. I honestly could not give him a deep-throat blow, due to his size. So, my one hand was a big help at that time. We actually tried different positions while doing that sucking thing but the best position was when he was lying on the edge of the bed with his feet are in floor, I knelt down while giving the blow and he was holding my head. He was really growling passionately at that time. When he was about to cum, he pumped his manhood to my mouth as fast as he pumped my head to him. I expected not to taste his cum but because his climax was so strong I couldn't control it. So, he emptied his hot, sweet, and salty tasting cum into my mouth. That was a great experience.

Truly, that was one of the best sexual encounters I had ever had. We actually did not try fucking because we were not ready at that time. Matt and I are still friends, today. Something had happened between us but, we don’t put label on it. Right now, we are more open to one another. We are confident enough to share personal things between ourselves. We are now actually friends in Facebook. We are following each other on Twitter and Instagram; and he now has my personal digits.  In fact, we have just decided to do it again before 2013 ends. He wants me to prepare plenty of lubricants for next time. So, let’s see what will happen next. Watch out!

HIV: CAUSES and SYMPTOMS

HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of disease that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a condition that kills the immune system of a human gradually due to the virus capability to replicate. Up to now, AIDS is one of the serious diseases that World Health Organization is trying to find solutions. For more than decades, AIDS is still part of many severe human illnesses that undergoes scientific investigations. Many medications and treatments have come out to the market but, none of these believed that can exterminate the bad viruses totally.

This life-threatening illness can be acquired from different forms. From different resources, here are the following possible causes of the said infection:

• Unsafe sexual intercourse (vaginal or anal). Common to people with multiple sexual partners or people who exercise casual sex (casual hookups).

• Oral Sex (risk is relative low). The risk may increase if the person giving the blow job has any cuts or scrapes in his or her mouth.

• Transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.

• Sharing of infected needles used for drugs, tattoos and body piercings.

• From HIV infected mother to her child during pregnancy or child birth.

What are the symptoms?

Early Stage Symptoms

• Flu-Like Feeling (for 1-2 weeks: rash on the arms, legs, face, or belly, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, mouth or genital ulcers, bad headaches, muscle aches and joint pain, nausea and, vomiting, night sweats).

Late Stage Symptoms

• Sick (swollen lymph glands, unusual lesions on the tongue; skin rashes and bumps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, cough and shortness of breath, chronic fatigue, fever, chills, and night sweats, rapid weight loss, blurred or distorted vision, other symptoms of infection or disease).

These symptoms can be associated to other illnesses and the only way to know if you are infected with HIV is to get tested. People who are sexually active have high risks to HIV. Thus, today is a wake-up call for them to take the test and take control to avoid the spreading of deadly virus. More so, always remember that prevention is better than cure. Practice safe and clean as always.

ALEX: A GAY LOVE STORY

Alex. 28. Philippines.

I am a graphic designer for more than a year now. My lifestyle has been circulating between work and home. I am a homeboy type person. I seldom join parties or celebrations. I prefer to work with my PC rather than meeting people from bars, clubs and etc. But, I don’t consider myself as a loner co'z I have a loud circle of friends. We usually talk through Skype or Facebook because we’re all busy now with our different careers. Actually, I am sharing my gay love story to you because I know a lot people from LGBT community can relate to it. My story is not as unique as others do but, I believe it is quite interesting to know.

… fast forward… Back in college on July 2010, in a very hushed Audio Visual Room of the university, I met a guy, Mau, 23 and an IT Student. He was a transferee from other university. For me, he has nice physical features that made me attracted to him; 5’8” in height, athletic built and has dark-skinned beauty. I knew he was a new student in the school because he seemed alone at that time, and I believed it was a good catch for me to talk to him. Like usual first meetings, we got to know each other and I was very glad knowing that we have same interest - Multimedia designing. And, that was the good start of our friendship.

Despite that we’re not in same level, we became close friends. I usually spent my Saturdays and Sundays to his place. Sometimes, we went to different places to unwind for he loves adventure. In fact, he had already traveled to different places with that interest, and Mt. Fuji of Japan is his biggest adventure he had conquered so far. We were really partners in crime wherever we go at that time. We usually talked about family, studies and love lives. I believe that we have great families and our studies got better and better at that point but, we don’t have similar perspective when it comes to love matters.

Mau is straight. He kept on telling me his ideal woman. One time, he felt in love to one of my classmates but, it didn’t work because my classmate is committed at that time. I actually felt bad when I knew he admired someone. It tore me deep inside because I knew everything will change if he has special someone. In fact, Mau did not know that I had an intimate feeling towards him at first. All he knew was, we look each as best buds, nothing more and nothing less.

… fast forward… For more than two years as best friends, I was a graduating student and he was still in his third year at that moment, I had shared a lot to him. It was the time I realized that truth should come out – that I am in love secretly with my best friend. It took me two weeks not to see him because I need space and time to think it over. During our semester break, he was wondering why I acted the way I did. No SMS, emails and calls. I had lots of alibis every time he invited me to go out. Even the death anniversary of my Lolo was used for my excuse and that was funny because my Lolo is still alive until now; he is just in another city.

November 7, 2012. That was the date he confronted me. He visited me in my house without a prior notice. I was really shocked at that moment. When he got in, he hugged me immediately and asked me how I am doing. He dragged me to a couch and started to ask my problems. To my surprise, I was not able to talk and I just gave him fake smile.

Not later than 5 minutes, I started to open up. I was really hesitant at first, but he let me finish talking my sentiments, until I reached the bottom line; that I felt in love to my best friend. After listening, he just smiled back at me and said “I know”. I felt so uneasy hearing those words coming from his mouth. He then later explained to me why he did not allow things to happen. “First, I am straight. I don’t find men attractive. If you think I am to you, you are totally wrong. I consider you as my best friend and I am very happy with that. You will always be my best buddy; nothing more, nothing less.” He said straightforwardly. I was honestly hurt. It took me a moment to understand things. Afterwards, I realized that there is no chance that he will really fall in love to me. That instance proved me that in life, some things are not meant to happen.

… fast forward… After that confrontation, everything was back to normal. We became close friends again. I am glad he did not think differently like other men do when they knew their friends are gays, bisexuals or lesbians. Actually, we were more open to each other now. In fact, if he likes a woman, he tells it to me first before he courts. He always asks my opinion if it is okay to court the girl he finds attractive even though I did not require him to do it.

Today, Mau is working in a BPO company as a Web Designer, and he has a girlfriend for less than a year now. Despite that he is busy with his career, love life and family, he still gives time for us. It is quiet awkward to say that we do friendly dates sometimes, which we usually do during our college days.

I know my story is familiar to some. Sometimes, we fall in love to the people who can’t love us back the way we do. I believe, a lot of gay stories have seemingly same experience to mine. Just a piece of advice, learn to accept things that is really impossible to happen. After all, only you will be much affected if you force it to go off.

My gay love story may not have happy ending as others do, but I am very blissful what had happen for I have learned a lot of things – the value of friendship and acceptance.

This is my gay love story. Alex.
