A ton of fun

My name is [J. L.]. I am an amateur gay adult actor who has the unique distinction of weighing well over 300 pounds. I have starred in several specialty amateur videos and want to break into adult gay films professionally.

J.L., we'll be happy to forward on any responses we get looking for extra hefty videophilic horndogs.

Puritan's pride

I have heard several positive comments about the article in the July 2003 issue of The Guide, Puritanical Massachusetts [by Jim D'Entremont]. Very thorough, in-depth, and serious.

I have appreciated some of the editorial topics in the past, but I think many of your readers never got past the pictures of pretty boys. Congratulations, you may have turned some heads with this.

Crooked straights

Are you aware that the anti-gay Traditional Values Coalition has reprinted a 1987 article from The Guide and has posted it to their web site?

The article, "Overhauling Straight America," is posted at http://traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/OverhaulingStraight.pdf. The reprint includes the following statement: "As a public service, TVC is reprinting the full text of this Guide article below. (This article has been widely distributed on the Internet and is available at a number of other web sites.)"

The article in question never appeared in The Guide. As with a lot of claims the right-wing puts out, this one is sheer fabrication. Of course, regular readers of The Guide would never imagine that we'd publish the dreck in question; the authors of "Overhauling Straight America" appear to be pathetic homos trying to "overcome" their homosexuality in their quest to become junior straight people. (One quote: "... In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector." Puke.) We're not begging the straight world to tolerate us-- we're bringing the straight world an exciting, different way to think about sex, a gay gift for everyone!
