I have always liked The Cure for Friday I'm in Love and Love Song. I did wonder Robert Smith's sexual orientation but never come around to find out. I am just lucky to bump into this gay song today. I love the lyrics.
To have his arms around me,
to sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had…
all I ever had…
I’d love to see him dream,
I’d love to watch him sleep
To have his arms around me, ?
Held his arms in mine,
sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hope
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago…
I’d love to watch him dream,
love to see him sleep
To have his arms around me,
feel him as he breathes
Hold his hands in mine,
sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago…
He’s my blood and my bones
He’s my heart and my soul
He’s my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
A boy I never knew
And the man I’ll never know
I’ll never know, I'll never know…
To have his arms around me,
sense his perfect trust
I’d give all I ever had…
No visual. Just audio.

There are always some gays out there who are in love with straight guys, and it's about time someone sings about it. I was lucky enough to come across a gay artist who calls himself b.o.y. who has a song about it. I think I read somewhere that the original title is Wish I Never Knew, which again sounds like it is addressing any gay straight-hag issue. :p
I let my heart get far ahead of me
And now it's too far gone to catch
I should have never gotten close to you
I should have never lit the match
I thought we were a possibility
But it was too good to be real
And now all I have are broken parts
I wish you knew just how I feel
So I fell in love with a straight boy
Was it all just in my head?
I fell in love with a straight boy
And now I can't get out of bed
My head tells me to move on
While my heart still clings to you
But you, you're just a straight boy
And I wish I never knew
Why is it so hard just to walk away?
When I know how this will go
You're gonna end up with a pretty girl
And I will end up all alone
But I want to believe there is a way
A way that you could cross the line
Want to believe that there is a better day
I just want you to be mine
So I fell in love with a straight boy
Was it all just in my head?
I fell in love with a straight boy
And now I can't get out of bed
My head tells me to move on
While my heart still clings to you
But you, you're just a straight boy
And I wish I never knew
I really wish I never knew
Those times I sat right next to you
And I wanted you to kiss me then
And smile at me like you do
Now I really wish that you knew
About the playlist made for you
You could listen to it every night
And tease me like you do
I'd do anything for you
If only I never knew
If only I never knew
But I know that you're a straight boy
With no clue of how I've felt
You don't see how you change me
How your words can make me melt
My head tells me to move on
While my heart still clings to you
But you, you're just a straight boy
And I wish I never knew
You can know about b.o.y. here.

Bobby Framingham is the star quarterback at Durango High School. He is popular. He is waiting for the right call of offers from colleges. He has loving parents. He has supportive team players. And the school thinks that he and beautiful Carrie are a great couple. It should have been a perfect life for him, except that he is battling confusion in him. He likes guys. He has dreams of Todd, another athletic in the school who plays baseball.
It is not easy for him to consider what right track he should pursue - to come clean on his sexual orientation or to suppress it. It does not make it any easier when he notices a guy his age, Bryan, is eying him at the games.
When he comes out to his best friend, Austin, one drama leads to another, and suddenly Bobby finds himself in a greater spotlight. It does not help Bobby either that his father tells him that his father has cancer.
I love reading a good book. It's like watching a good movie, where when it ends, it leaves nothing but a great smile on the face. Or a sigh, hoping for a little bit more although the heart is satisfied with the way the book or the movie turns out. After reading Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy and has a great satisfaction from it, I was surprised that I read another good book so soon.
Bill Konigsberg produced a great gay character and a storyline that I would definitely be talking about often enough when I have the chance to. Bobby Framingham is a good boy. He is a likable boy. He does not take advantages of girls. He does not sleep with them to keep a pretentious straight image. It is just that he does not tell people of the actual gender he likes.
So, his whole dilemma deals with the desire in his heart for guys and he wants to come clean with his friends. He carries his worries too long on his own and he wants someone to know. It starts with his friend, and then friends and eventually, more come to know of his situation.
To be honest, I thought Bobby had it easy. It is not impossible to find someone gay who has good supports from people around. However, I think it is not often enough to find someone so lucky, to have supportive team players and parents who stick with him through thick and thin. Sure, Bobby had a bad time with his games and dealt with the possibility of losing his father, who turned out to be quite charming with Bobby's gay situation. Still, the storyline is believable.
This book won the Lambda Literary Award. Bravo. :)

Well, we all remember Jay Brannan from the gay films Shortbus (2006) and Holding Trevor (2007). And we also know that Jay Brannan croons cool tunes and this String-A-Long song is another gay song.. gay song, because the lyrics clearly states a fondness between one guy with another.
To the boy who should have loved me,
From the boy you could've had.
I promised not to send this letter,
I wouldn't want you to feel bad.
For not opening your heart to me,
For your unavailability.
I guess you're not required to like me,
But did you fake it just to spite me?
[Chorus]
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you.
Just give up your pride, your past,
your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too.
Thanks for leading me on,
But this time I'm gonna be strong
Although your disinterest kind
of came as a surprise cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the gin and the madness
on my lips, and in my eyes well
I can't help that I wanna see you again.
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one... to make it end.
Well the Flake Syndrome is an epidemic
That spans the globe from town to town.
But I can't figure out
why you put forth such an effort
To win me over, just to turn me down.
Cause your words are so soft and sweet,
But your actions are screaming.
And if you see me waiting around for you,
I hope you also see you're dreaming.
[Chorus]
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you.
Just give up your pride, your past,
your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too.
Thanks for leading me on,
But this time I'm gonna be strong
Although your disinterest kind
of came as a surprise cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the gin and the madness
on my lips, and in my eyes well
I can't help that I wanna see you again.
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one... to make it end.
I know he'll break my heart,
I know I'll fall apart. And
I know because this is how it starts.
Maybe it's wrong of me...
To wish that we could be,
But your kiss matched mine
So perfectly.
[Chorus]
Well here's a little String-a-long song for you.
Just give up your pride, your past,
your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string-a-long with me too.
Thanks for leading me on,
But this time I'm gonna be strong
I wish you weren't too scared
to speak your goodbyes cause
The truth is I wish you well,
thanks for saving me from hell
I owe you one of the few I got left of my nine lives.
Well, I can't help that I wanna see you again.
But it takes two to start a string-a-long song
And only one... to make it end.

It has been such a long time since Simon has a partner. To make up for it, his time is spent on his job, dealing with film festival, as well as time for his best friends - Roger and his wife, Fran. Roger and Fran are aware of Simon's sexual orientation and accepts him for who he is. However, they are not so thrilled with his single status and hence, Simon is dragged to a party.
At the party, where everyone else seems to know everyone else, Simon meets the famous football player, Declan. It is a not a pleasant first meet. Simon defends Declan's ability in the football field, while calling Declan arrogant when Simon overhears a group of football fans criticizing Declan. Declan has been out of action due to a knee injury.
Since that night, Declan and Simon begin to keep in touch with one another. However, this is kept a secret as Declan is a national star, in closet. When Roger and Fran find out, they have been nothing but supportive friends (in awe of Declan). Simon gets to meet Declan's version of Roger-and-Fran best friends - Abe and Asian Lisa. Together, Simon and Declan the hardship of starting and maintaining a gay relationship, between an unknown gay and a gay superstar.
I have always been a big fan of beautiful gay love story. Until now, I have the greatest respect for Steve Kluger's Almost Like Being in Love. It is witty, funny and well-written. I have often wondered when I would be able to come across another gay novel that would make me fall in love with the art of story-telling, like Steve Kluger's fine work. I found it eventually, when I picked up Sean Kennedy's Tigers and Devils.
Okay. I am shallow. I did not even think highly of the book title. On the first page itself, it is already giving the warning sign that I may not favor this book. It talks about football. Me? Football? Oh boy.. so I thought.
However, as the storyline progressed, I was drawn into the characters. I cared for Simon. I cared for Declan. I even read slower to find the witty remarks between Fran, Roger and Simon. The conversation was divinely pleasing that I had to slow down my reading just to enjoy each and every punch line I could find. Throw in Abe and Lisa, and I was more in love with this book than a mere loving thoughts for Simon and Declan.
I love how Sean Kennedy is able to portray well the situation one would think of, and even not think of, when a non-jock guy dates a jock - an unknown guy in love with a famous national player. I mean, questions like - what does he see in me when he can date any supermodel? Will this be a fling? How long can this last? What is it in me that is interesting for him to be attracted to me?
In fact, the coming-out process was dealt well when even more insights were provided to the expected pressure for someone like Simon to blend in with the Wives and Girlfriends (WAGs) as well as the unwelcome attention of the nation on his relationship with Declan. A moment there, I thought I was catching a glimpse of the lives of Britney Spears, Zac Efron, Megan Fox and the stars of Gossip Girls for all the negative remarks of how a common him in the world of celebrities. And how he was the inferior half of the media darling couple.
You know what.. Almost to the end of the book, I had my eyes in tears. It was touching. And I have to thank Sean Kennedy for ending the book in a beautiful note and not to write another tragic love story for the gay community. Kudos. I am over the moon with this great gay story book.
This gay novel is highly recommended.

When he was a young man, Ivan hid behind his busy workload instead of looking for a lover. He got his own place and indulged in boxing exercise and gym. That was when he met Windson (Osman Hung). Ivan was attracted to Windson and made his move. They became good friends, and Ivan had hoped for more. Unfortunately, Windson was straight, and had a girlfriend back in mainland.
They became closer friends eventually - a gay guy and a straight guy, with the gay guy falling for the straight guy, and the straight guy unable to return his love. Windson became more accommodating to Ivan's need and allowed Ivan to touch him, and they shared brief kisses but nothing more, which led to Ivan into frustration.
When Ivan's grandma passed away, Ivan was further devastated when Windson announced that he was getting married to his mainland girlfriend. Windson left Hong Kong. Their paths crossed again eventually and Windson told Ivan he never got married. Ivan had always been his 'wife', except that Windson could never understand how a straight him could ever be in a relationship with Ivan.
Permanent Residence open well. I was intrigued by the cinematography of the film, although I thought the choice of the child actor was poor. But still, the beauty of the film was delivered well enough to ignore that. As the movie progressed into Ivan's youth life, the climax of the gay film picked up, as we are treated to many seconds of beautiful male nudi*y. Sean Li and Osman's bodies can bring shame to many lead male actors of erot*c films. They are simply beautiful.
The dynamic of wanting and staying a distance of the relationship between Ivan and Windson drew my attention. I was wanting to see how it ends. However, once Windson left Hong Kong and Ivan became the 'son' to take of ailing mother of Windson, the film became a little bit draggy. The second half of the film was rather disappointing, until Windson showed up again, and just like most gay films, gay characters deserve no happy ending. So, we were treated to the unnecessary ending of the gay Titanic. Just when I thought the gay film had ended, the film seemed to go directionless and dragged unnecessarily to become a joke.
Still, for the first part of the gay film, the film was worth to be devour for the beauty of the complexity of a love between two - a gay and a straight. Beautiful indeed.

Connected is a gay film told of two gay lovers, starting from their lonesome days to the day they found each other and then to the break-up. The gay film tells the story on a subway train, which quickly reminds me of Trick, the delightful gay themed film on young gays finding one another through the subway train. However, I am not feeling all that love for Connected.

Thanks to Katy Perry, there are several gay parodies to her hit I Kissed a Girl. So, here, I am assembling those I am able to find, and that were done in acceptable quality.
Should I say that this should be the famous one? This is I Kissed a Boy by Cobra Starship, who sings the hit Good Girls Go Bad.
This is by James Merryman - I Kissed A Boy (Boy Remix)
I Kissed a Boy (Remix) by Chris Salvatore
Of course, someone should do something about the picture in the video. Not tasteful.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS VERSION!
Sam Sparro - I Kissed a Girl/Boy (Acoustic Version)
Damn! This is GOOD! Is he really Sam Sparro?? Damn, he has a nice body. You should know that Sam Sparro is gay, and has a hit - Black and Gold. He also sang a gay version 'American Boy' made famous by Estelle featuring Kanye West.

Well, this is a cool find from Youtube. Thailand has been known for producing several great gay films, such as The Love of Siam, Bangkok Love Story, Right By Me (The Rainbow Boys), Silom Soi 2 etc. To find one that is totally gay animated is a wow. :) Is this the first Thailand gay film in animation?
So far, I am aware that the story about a school bully who is tamed by a new boy in school. Friendship develops and the school bully makes excuses to stay overnight in the new boy's house. The friendship develops further.
