There it is thanks to the LGBT website Queerty and an anonymous reader of said website who took the photo (yes you can click it on to see larger version) purportedly of John Hart and Dennis Mayer in de buff and at least posing frontal to anal for all those to see dockside.
Hart and Mayer wouldn't admit to doing the nasty but they can't deny their dumbass show of nudity in anti-gay Dominica if that's them.
I mean really how stupid can you be ? They give assholes a bad name.
In case you've been living under a rock or need a refresher course about de gays with no brains you can read the March 22 posting from this blog.
On Monday, March 26, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released a bombshell against the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) group when HRC obtained internal NOM documents showing NOM's strategy back in 2009 for winning its war against same-sex marriage.
Since then just about every LGBT blog and website, both credible and of the Elite type has reported on this story at least once, once being the optimum word.
But just as the mainstream press often does the LGBT Elite know when they have a "good thing" to browbeat to death for their readers even when there is no to little new news to add except offering opining or dissecting the dissected.
Big story, of course, worth days of examination and re-examination, no.
Of course that won't stop the Elite who will no doubt carry this story on into next week and possibly beyond as if there is no other news to re-report from actual LGBT news websites.
What will not help in this continuation was the unfortunate screw up on Wednesday when MSNBC's Thomas Roberts was to interview former NOMer Maggie Gallagher and she was a "no show" because someone put her in the wrong studio. According to Roberts' tweets she is re-scheduled to appear tomorrow (Friday - TAKE 2) provided MSNBC links to the correct studio this time and this will prolong the browbeating through the weekend and most likely into next week for the Elite.
Let me make it perfectly clear as one infamous President once said this is an important story. What has been brought to light is both vile and contemptible but at the same time should be of no surprise and is par for the course for an organization like NOM.
But, and what the Elite and others fail to see, is this now beyond the initial story coverage does nothing to hurt NOM but gives instead free publicity and a continuing platform of defense in regards to their cause of stopping same-sex marriage.
Publicity when turned into an attack on NOM becomes priceless, both in the cost of advertising what NOM believes and gives them the chance to play the victim of homosexuals who challenge NOM's effort to save and protect marriage deemed to be for heterosexuals only.
NOM at this point will not only be playing the victim but be playing the LGBT press and Elite because NOM knows the story will not easily die down for the aforementioned. Just as high priced prositutes or con men play their clients and victims.
And that is something anti-gay organizations and groups are pros at.
There's an old saying the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. And that was proved today at the chagrin of MSNBC's Thomas Roberts.
It seems Roberts was to discuss the NOM debacle with Wayne Besen and former NOMer Maggie Gallagher. Besen was there ready to go but Gallagher wasn't.
Unfortunately at the beginning of the segment Roberts showed he can be a bit of an LGBT Elite himself when he said, "This empty studio chair was supposed to hold Maggie Gallagher, former president and co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage. But as you can see she is missing in action, although we did confirm an hour ago that she would be in that studio. I would say, 'Hello Maggie," but you're not there."
And of course the LGBT bloggingdum Elites had a field day with the No NOM Show. That is of course until they had to lick their proverbial behinds when Roberts tweeted the following and had to update their LOL @ NOM.
"correction. It was OUR booking mistake!"
"MYSTERY solved... @maggiemarriage was in a studio ready for our #nom interview it was just the wrong studio booked improperly on @msnbc_booking IT WAS OUR MISTAKE and she has an open invite for the show. Our sincerest apologies."
Believe me I can feel for Roberts as during my broadcasting days I've been in similar situations where through the fault of others I had egg running down my face during broadcasting snafu's.
However Roberts did himself no favor by being the pious Elite he seemed to be when calling out Gallagher.
As I use to say on some of my other blogs, sumbuddie iz gunna git a whoppin'.
H/T to NG Blog as I saw this broadcasting "pull the covers over my head" at his blog first.
Thomas Roberts' interview with former NOMer Maggie Gallagher TAKE 2.
Just in case you didn't know MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has a book out titled Drift: The Unmooring Of American Military Power which takes a look at something as she talked about in an interview on Meet The Press this past Sunday that has become problematic for her for many years, how we as a nation have become almost numb to the idea of going to war.
With Maddow's scholarly background I've been waiting for her to put pen to paper and write about something. Heck she could have written about fishing on Cape Cod and I'd look forward to reading the book. But myself being a history buff and in particular nations at war she picked the right topic for this writer to read.
I'll be picking up a copy later this week and look forward to the read. Usually I don't do reviews of books as a part of this blog, although I did once a couple of years ago about the book Wander The Rainbowwritten by David Jedeiken, nor do I promote books but this being written by Maddow and the subject matter I'm happy to do so.
Maddow will be doing a book tour starting tomorrow, Thursday March 29. A listing of tour dates you can find here at The Maddow Blog. I know we don't have as many disposable shekels these days but perhaps you could use part of your "happy times" allowance for April to buy Maddow's book. After all she is one of us and it's a good thing to spend money on parts the Rainbow.

Much ado in LGBT blogdum over the past almost 24 hours now over the released and unsealed court NOM documents obtained by HRC which showed NOM in its effort to thwart same-sex marriage had a plan akin to Charles Manson's delusional Helter Skelter idea in regards to dividing the races except this time it's race against gays.
“The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks—two key Democratic constituencies. Find, equip, energize and connect African American spokespeople for marriage, develop a media campaign around their objections to gay marriage as a civil right; provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots…”
Also according to the documents NOM had a strategy to use the Latino community and also to present President Barack Obama as a social radical.
The documents from the years 2008-2009 also shows NOM's multi-million dollar budget to fight same-sex marriage not just here in the United States but worldwide.
Thomas Roberts had a brief segment about the documents on his MSNBC show today.
When the news about Mickey Rourke playing on the silver screen out and proud rugby player Gareth Thomas I said to myself, "self how is this dino who is older than me by a year (I'm 58) going to pull this off ?"
Well we don't have to worry about it now boys and girls as the once hunk and then some (as evident in the photo) has realized that a) the stunts involved and prep for is too much and b) a younger man closer to Thomas' age needs to play the part.
You see kids that white or gray hair we 50 plus folks have does suck out the brain cells even the ones that give us common sense about things. Dyeing the hair doesn't work in brain cell sucking prevention.
However, the actor had admitted that time was catching up to him, stating recently: "The physical thing is harder than I thought. I'm just trying to get fit enough to do it." reports the website Joe.ie.
Inception star Tom Hardy is reportedly considering the role. Which would be more true to life anyway as far as age and body type and the fact he admitted in an interview back in 2010 with NOW magazine, when asked de question, if he ever had sex with men, he doth replied, "Of course I have. I'm an actor for f*ck's sake. I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes."
Well being bisexual or "experimenting" does have it's advantages but his fiancee Brit actress Charlotte Riley appears to be in no hurry to take that leap to the alter just yet. The couple met in 2009 while filming Wuthering Heights for ITV and before his "coming out ?".
NOW THIS .... GayStarNewsreported on Tuesday 3/27 Rourke is not throwing in the towel.
On previous versions of Focus On The Rainbow which appeared at Hearst Newspapers, OutLoudBlogs and a stand-alone version (now all deleted unfortunately) I ran an off and on series of postings about de gay in Hollywood and how "progressive" Hollywood treated members of their own for being out or forced them stay in the closet because of studio bottom lines.
These postings won't be ones of gossip, but instead using archival news sources to show how Hollywood turned its back on LGB actors and actresses while many in power were LGB themselves.
"Box office poison" is how out or perceived to be gay actors were treated and can we say in the grand scheme of things while today we do have out and proud Thespians, has the glass ceiling really been broken for the out and proud of Hollywood while others stay in the closet to continue to work.
Included in the series will be "success stories" of some actors as they have overcome their personal challenges (such as Bai Ling) but most of the writings will take a look at the darker side of Hollywood's past (and in some case present) where one can sit and wonder aloud, has anything really changed.
The postings have a special link to all postings in the series in the banner header at the top of this blog. The first posting and subject is Brad Davis the star of the film Midnight Express who had AIDS and had to hide that fact in order to work.
Below are two videos from Joe Soto about "The Gay Mafia", pro-gay campaigns and the "corporate takeover" of de gay for profiteering under the guise of "being gay friendly".
OH MY as George Takei sez.
