To wrap up our week, we want to share this moving video and post from Queerty. Have a great weekend!

Bob Davis, 89, and Henry Schalizki, 89, met in 1942, in Rhode Island. They spent the night gabbing, but didn't see each other again for three years, when "the pair crossed paths in Baltimore." Their romance has endured for more than 60 years — and twelve presidents. On Sunday, they got married in Washington D.C. This, friends, is what the fight is for: happily ever after.

You’re having friends over for before the Pride Parade, you’re opening your Summer house or you’re partying poolside. Set up some great seasonal cocktails and easy treats to welcome and wow them!

SUMMER EVENTS
Simplicity will make your event easier and you’ll have more time to enjoy yourself and your guests.

1. For a Pre-Pride Brunch: Buy bagels, muffins or pastries from your local bakery, serve with butter and jam. Limit your beverages to Coffee and Mimosas (by the pitcher, pre-made.) Drop a fresh berry in each champagne glass to liven up your mimosas.

2. For a Casual Open House: Prepare some simple sandwiches stacked on platters. Serve Lemonade, Iced Tea and one Signature Cocktail, like my "Savory Italian Sangria".

3. For a Pool Party: Think light finger foods. Simple ENDIVE TOPPED WITH YOUR FAVORITE SPREADS looks and tastes amazing. You can top them with store bought Sun Dried Tomato Spread or your favorite dip. Also, offer a great tropical cocktail like my ISLAND SURF as well as soft drinks.

Tropical Cocktails go over well at almost any Summer Party. Rum lends itself to great hot weather libations, like in my ISLAND SURF.

What You Need:
2 oz Malibu Pineapple Rum
4 oz White Cranberry Juice
Dash of Blue Curacao


1 oz Coconut Cream (Coco Lopez)

1 Teaspoon Confectioners Sugar

How To Make It:
Mix Rum, Cranberry Juice and Curacao with ice in a shaker. Pour into a tall glass. In a Blender or with a Frother, mix the coconut milk and sugar till foamy, spoon on top of the drink.

Remember... plan on serving lighter fare for Summer gatherings, especially for a poolside party. Light hors d’oeuvres can still be packed with flavor. Endive leaves are really easy to wrok with and can be topped with all kinds of good things, like Sun Dried Tomato Paste, Chopped Olive Tapenade, Salsa or even your favorite Sour Cream based Dip.

What You Need:
Several Medium to Large heads of Endive (Green and / or Red)
Toppings (In this case, I’ll use Olive Tapenade)
How To Make It:
Cut the base off the head of Endive, separate the leaves, wash and drain on towels. Fill each leaf with a half teaspoon of your topping.

Olive Tapenade:
1 lb pitted black olives
2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
1.5 teaspoons (approx 3 sprigs) of fresh Rosemary Leaves
Blend in food processor till mixture becomes a paste
Refrigerate until ready to use

Enjoy the food, cocktails, weather and more importantly your friends and family. Happy Pride! Feel free to post your comments and questions in the Comments section. Let me know how it works out for you as well as your own tips and tricks.

Gary Spino and Tony Brown have fought for gay rights all of their lives, but these days one of the most radical things a gay person can do is form a traditional family -- and that’s precisely what they want. We follow Gary and Tony on their struggle to have a baby that has a biological and legal connection to both of them. They spend a small fortune hiring an egg donor, a surrogate, and face a string of court battles. But all the medical miracles and legal maneuvering can’t guarantee the approval of the people around them… or even a baby.

Watch the special tonight and then let us know what you thought of it by posting a comment here.

BUTT Beach Towels

BUTT Magazine has teamed up with American Apparel to send us to the beach with sexy and fun beach towels in tow. It is like being a kid in a candy store picking which one you want to roll around in the sand in or who to dry yourself off with by the pool.

Seriously, it is wonderful seeing these models from BUTT on products that are introduced into the mainstream. I am all for it and I like to show my support because the more we do so, the more we will see it happen. American Apparel takes the heat for a lot of internal issues (and external if you know anything about their campaigns) but they get points for partnering up with what I think is one of the neatest print publications for men around.

So yeah, hint to my boyfriend, my birthday is coming up and I expect to see a Devin towel wrapped up in a bow.

“Welcome Guys, I am Tim Kruger and this is Reality Porn, made by me and my boyfriend.”

And with that you are greeted into Timtales.com, a new porn site that specializes in realistic sex, hot guys, and as the about page highlights; authenticity. Each clip on the site is all about realism and hot sex. The guys on the site are mostly amateurs, but are brought together because they WANT to have sex with each other. It’s a site for those that want to watch some hot realistic action without story, plot, and the various other trappings of scripted porn.

The site is completely ran and produced by its star Tim, a young, thin, hairy hunk with an enormous beautiful penis, and his partner, the hot tattooed Muscle Daddy Grobes Geraet. Tim is (usually) the star and Grobes is (usually) the videographer. (Geraet himself stars in a couple scenes.) The movies are pretty straight-forward in that they are simply shot on a bed where the guys just get right into it. What makes the site so special is that you really do feel these guys are into each other, making each scene unique, intimate, and totally hot. There are guys from different races and body types though most are of the masculine variety, so if that’s a catch-all type for you, you’re going to enjoy the site.

Watching Tim and the various guys he fucks is the star attraction. He has a relaxed comfort with himself that I found very sexy and is dominant while never coming across as arrogant. (A porn pet-peeve of mine.) I really liked his scene with tattooed Muscle Bear Johnny Gun, the handsome Michael, and the ginger vs. ginger scene “Red Attack” with fellow red-head Leon. There are a couple fisting scenes and a handful of three-ways. For the Daddy/Hunter fans it’s essential to check out those starring “Big Dick Daddy.” Which I think is pretty self-explanatory.

In addition to the multi formats available for download they have included an iPhone/iPad- formatted file that I easily imported directly into iTunes and uploaded on my phone. Porn-on-the-go this easy is both unbelievably awesome, and very very dangerous. I surrender!

Daddyhunt is bringing the best of the web for real men, hairy studs, Dads and all things masculine. We're going to start sharing interesting, authentic adult and non-adult sites and stuff that we like and we think you will as well! Feel free to suggest a site at support@daddyhunt.com

As Pride month comes on once again this year, I think it’s easy to question its necessity when it is easier than ever to be out and proud here in the States and across the globe. But of course, there is still a long road ahead of us, and that fact becomes painfully evident in light of the latest anti-gay crusader to actually come out as being like, totally gay; Family Research Council co-founder, (now ex)N.A.R.T.H. member, and “ex-gay” movement player George Alan Rekers. Rekers just got caught taking a rentboy on vacation with him for help with luggage... and sexual massages. The fact that this guy has spent his life fighting gay rights, gay adoption (in which he got paid big $$ from the tax payers in Florida for his bogus testimony) as well as working to promote the notion that homosexuality can be “cured” is running around with a male prostitute, it’s clear we have a case of serious mind-bending self-hate.

It’s been often noted that those that seem a little too obsessed with hating gays often are just fighting feelings that they have and can’t deal with based on what they have been taught in their lives. And, it’s no secret that religion is the biggest proponent of homophobia, and it’s shown, time and time again, just how messed up and hindering the conflicting feelings of wanting something that you have been told is the worst possible thing you could do can be. But there is a school of thought that puts faith above all else in life, and that cause and effect brews such an awful stew of unhappiness with those born gay and in a religion that abhors it, it’s a wonder that year after year we don’t put the brakes on and say... this just doesn’t work. At all. (Rekers is a Southern Baptist Reverend, he didn’t have a chance.)

I was very lucky to grow up with parents that constantly praised me, set me up with a strong sense of self, and didn’t force me into a religious lifestyle that I never connected with. While they were not initially, let’s say thrilled, with the idea of me being gay, time, meeting my friends and boyfriend, and the change in social acceptance has brought them up to the point that they might even be happy that I’m exactly as I am. No strings. Talk about a serious rung in the ladder of my own personal pride!

But despite my personal (non)relationship with organized religion, it is not impossible to live a life of faith and be gay, happy, and true to God, whomever that may be. I’ve seen much good happen from people that have discovered faith that may have lost their way in life and it’s important to recognize that. The foundations of most religions are very very positive, lessons on how to be, how to treat one another, etc. but the sticky part comes when you have opposing gospels that say different things about how we were created, and how we should be. It’s an age-old conflict that has set up the entire human race for failure, because it’s somehow impossible to let an opposing viewpoint co-exist.

I once saw a bumper sticker that read, “If God hates homosexuals, he wouldn’t have made any.” There is so much truth in that, no matter what you believe. Maybe I’m just more inclined to think that the earth is a big beautiful place and that we, the humans that inhabit it, are here to live and laugh and create art and music and things that fill us with happiness and hope that anything is possible... and to learn things about ourselves
through our differences. It might be crazy Pollyanna to think so, but if the alternative is that we are to live in constant fear of an unseen force that imposes doom onto our acting on feelings that hurt no one... well that’s some bullshit to me. It just doesn’t make any sense. And given the history of the human race... it’s clear it DOESN’T WORK.

And isn’t the religious notion that ‘this is what I (have been taught to) believe to be true and therefore you also need to follow along the same exact path of choices’ the epitome of arrogance? I mean, just because you like sushi and I don’t shouldn’t mean that I cannot get married... or that I can be fired from a job for not liking sushi. Or even serve in the military because I can’t stomach a California Roll. It sounds ridiculous, but in essence... you’re love of sushi is really all about YOU. Not me. I’m totally cool with your liking sushi... go crazy, just don’t force it down my throat. (sound familiar?) But it seems that it’s a basic human trait to get confused, angry, and lash out when someone exuded a behavior or interest we don’t. “Wait, you don’t feel exactly the way I do on everything? I need to dismiss you and then breed hate and violence toward you because I don’t understand that!” Well, you can take that raw bit of hate and ignorance, roll it up in rice, and shove it up your ass. Check please.

It seems crazy to me that while on one hand you have religions that teach that same-sex attraction and homo-sex is an ungodly abomination with, on the other hand, people being born through the ages with these feelings and not realizing how that effects all of us. Would Catholic priests that are born gay, been taught all their life that that is some kind of f-you to God, still molest young boys if they had known gay was totally okay and were able to grow into their sexuality like everyone else? Would guys like George Rekers, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, and Larry Craig spend their entire life’s work to make the public hate gay people if they knew it was okay in the eyes of God? My guess is not. I don’t equate my absence of faith with being a happy, well-adjusted gay... that would be foolish. But given the still alive official stance on homosexuality that the Catholic Church and many organized religions have, it certainly didn’t hurt...

I’m of course not the first person, or the last, that will put this two and two together. And yet as old as the human race is, we’re STILL debating this, and hating on ourselves for it. And while things are quickly changing here in the states, American evangelicals are spending their time teaching hate in Africa in the hopes to make that continent so homophobic that they believe in death, (DEATH!) to the gays. It is so important, as homosexuals, to come to the conclusion that the way we ARE has nothing to do with the struggle between Heaven and Hell. We have to love ourselves, without question, no matter what we’ve been taught. It’s the essence of pride, and a reminder that it is still needed year after year

Love yourself. Love your God. And love one another, despite the differences because hate is TAUGHT, it doesn’t come naturally. Happy Pride.

How many times have you been to a great party and wished you could entertain as well? I'm talking about really entertaining by giving your guests something delicious and presentation just like a professional caterer. With a little effort and planning you can make your next gathering one your friends will rave about for a long time.

My name is Herb and I've been a member of Daddyhunt for three years. I am a NYC based Chef, Mixologist and Event Planner. Every month or so I'm going to give you ideas and tips to make the most of your next get-together. So Daddies and Hunters - Get ready to entertain!

Entertaining Basics :
Lets start with the four basic principles to help you impress your guests and have more time to enjoy yourself as well!

Simplicity - Don't try to be too elaborate. Keep it simple.

Focus - Keep the menu and drinks limited to seasonal elements.

Organization - Prepare in advance. Set up drinks in one area, food in another. Keep seating away from refreshments so there is not the constant temptation and away from music to encourage conversation.

Themes - Themes are really fun if done properly. They can be campy, elegant and/or sexy among other things. The key with themes is they need to suit the location, mood, occasion and guests. For example; now is a great time to celebrate the beginning of Summer or the opening of your weekend place with a get-together.

Cocktail: Herb’s Pear & Sage Mojito
Keep the bar simple. Beer, Wine, Standards like Vodka, Gin, Rum and mixers (OJ, Cranberry, Cola, Diet Soda, Club Soda.) To impress your guests, feature one specialty cocktail like my Pear & Sage Mojito. To save prep time, it can be prepared in advance by muddling the fresh ingredients (pear, sage and sugar) and storing it in a container with a lid. Just spoon the right amount of the mixture it into your glasses (1 full tablespoon for this Mojito) as needed.

What You Need
:
1/4 fresh Bartlett or Anjou pear, peeled and seeded
2 fresh sage leaves

1 1/2 tsp. cane sugar

1.5 oz. 10 Cane rum

2 oz. seltzer

1/8 fresh Bartlett pear slice pierced with sage leaf, for garnish



How To Make It:
Muddle pear, sage leaves, and sugar. Add ice. Pour rum over mixture. Top off with seltzer and garnish.
Set up a dozen or so glasses on the bar so you can easily fill and serve these or have guests help themselves.

Now that we have the libations ready to flow, let's move on to the food. When it comes to the food you make for your guests, plan on offering 3 to 5 different Hors d’ Oeuvres for a small group, 4 to 8 for a larger gathering. Make sure to include at least one vegetarian choice and avoid things that may trigger allergies (like nuts, eggplant or shrimp.)

On the Menu: Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto

With the transition from Spring to Summer, treat your gang to “Asparagus wrapped with Proscuitto” as an stylish seasonal hors d’ oeuvre. There’s a lot of flavor in these easy to make tidbits.

What You Need:

Fresh small to medium asparagus
Thinly sliced proscuitto


How To Make It:
Blanch (drop into simmering water in a low sauce pan) the asparagus till color is a bright green, remove and set into ice water to help keep the color and then drain on towels. Cut off and discard the lower portion, keeping the tender tips (about 3” in length). Cut each slice of proscuitto into 3 long strips, wrap each asparagus and set on a platter. Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar.

Enjoy it guys. Feel free to post your comments and questions in the Comments section. Let me know how it works out for you as well as your own tips and tricks.

-------------------------

Herb's MAN-datory TIP:

A word on invitations. Depending on the size of the guest list, choose an appropriate way to invite your guests.

- Small groups of 2-10, write and mail your invite or make a personal phone call.
- Groups of 10-20, a phone call or email works, but the more personal the better
- 20-100 or more, email or Evite will be most efficient. Just make sure to add a personal touch.

Remember to highlight the RSVP so you have a realistic number of guests to plan for.

To wrap up the work week, we found this fun clip of 2 Gents shakin' it to a little ditty (somewhat NSFW) that might very well haunt you for a few days. If it does, hopefully you will be inspired to shake what your momma gave you as well. Don't say we didn't warn you and enjoy the weekend!

Thanks to the fellas over at Le Fag for the clip!
