Down a Slippery Slope?
| |
Two men, police say, were having sex in a car on the deserted Baltimore waterfront when they were arrested. Now one of them is dead. The other faces up to ten years in prison
for 'perverted practice.' Yet gay groups have been silent. What's happening in Baltimore happens all over America. Are we rushing back to the witchhunts, persecution, and paranoia of
the 1950s? |

No Gay Youth Sex Pride
By: Michael Amico
| |
Lousy sex-ed? Broken ties with their gay elders? The fetish of 'appropriateness'? Whatever-- it seems the only way young gay guys can get real with each other about sex-- and then
just barely-- is by getting blasted together in a dorm room

The Show Trial of Paul Shanley
| |
In the nadir of the made-in-Boston Catholic sex scandal, Paul Shanley was convicted for crimes that couldn't possibly have occurred. Jim D'Entremont examines how hysteria and ambition made a mockery of due-process and the guarantee of a fair trial. |

Faxes from the Future

How did the number-crunchers up in Accounting expect us to do it? How did they expect
The Guide production staff to get through the stressful days before deadline without a lot of snowy through-the-nose stimulation, some calming single-malt whiskeys down-the-hatch,
the ministrations of masseurs on our knotted lumbars, and hustlers-on-call for refreshing quickies up-the-butt in the editor-in-chief's toilet? |

Horny Little Helpers
| |
Maybe your libido runs like greyounds at the track, without nudge or prod. (Maybe you are 19 years old.) Or maybe it feels more like a sleeping dog-- one that you're not content just to let lie. Do you have any new tricks for making old Fido wag his tail and drool? |

Homothugs
By: Matthew Phillp
| |
The Warehouse can be found up an alley from the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, the poorest borough of New York City and the birthplace of hip-hop. Its outside has no distinguishing features except a rough, unfinished wall of solid rock, painted grey. The entrance is a small,
mirrored door marked only by the skeleton of an awning and a hanging canvas sign that flaps in the breeze. |

Was The Father of Our Country A Queen?
By: Charley Shively
| |
C.A. Tripp's new book on Lincoln's 'intimate life' has caused a stir. Tripp marshals the evidence that Lincoln as poet Carl
Sandburg put it a half-century ago 'had a lavender streak.' But did Lincoln just follow in George Washington's footsteps? Veteran Walt Whitman
scholar Charley Shively argues that the queer leanings of the presidents whose birthdays are recalled this month changed the course of American history. |

Privatizing Armageddon
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
The official story, the version anointed by mainstream media, suggests that at a time of war, economic turmoil, and suspended civil liberties, the US Presidential election of 2004 was decided on sexual and reproductive issues. John Kerry, a gay-tolerant, pro-choice
quasi-Catholic, supposedly lost to George W. Bush, a gay-squeamish, anti-choice evangelical Protestant, because a majority of Americans oppose gay marriage and abortion. |

Bernie Baran's Fight for Freedom
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Being a gay teenager-- anytime, anywhere--
has never been easy. But few have paid as
terrible a price for their sexual orientation as
19-year-old Bernard Baran did in 1984.
Twenty years later, Baran is still paying that
price behind bars |

The Curse of Fells Acres
| |
The Baran case produced the first of many bogus sex-abuse convictions of American daycare workers. But Bernard Baran's arrest was hardly the first in that '80s wave of hysteria. His prosecution was steeped in media hype surrounding the Amirault case in
Malden, Massachusetts; purported sex rings in Bakersfield, California (see
The Guide, April 2004), and Jordan, Minnesota; and the immense McMartin case in Manhattan Beach, California, a case that finally resulted in no convictions after the longest, costliest trial process in US history. |

Genesis of a Lynching
| |
Since December 1999, when The
Guide first ran an account of Bernard Baran's plight, additional details have bolstered the case for his innocence and illustrated the extent to which the execution of justice in Berkshire County is skewed by ineptitude and corruption. |

New Rules for Porn?
| |
US courts struck down most legal impediments to sexually explicit expression in the late 1960s. Since then, people pursuing assorted agendas have sought to regulate pornography by various means. In the spring of 2004, an occurrence of HIV transmission in the porn industry
kindled a blaze of regulatory efforts focused on disease control. |

Poppers Ahoy
| |
As if having some big muscle stud's cock up my ass wasn't pleasurable enough, there's something that can make it even better. They're called poppers, and one good snort I'm begging to have the living shit pounded out of me. |

Leather Scene in the USA & Canada
| |
Homosex has, for good or ill, squarely entered the mainstream. But when gay celebrity
gossip grows tedious, when metrosexuals are hogging every Nautilus at the gym, when too
many GWM-25s-seek-same-for-romantic-dinners, when the gay world seems like it's fading to
vanilla white, that's when you have to thank heaven for leather. |

Achtung Amerika!
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Germany and the US have cultural traits in common. Emancipatory and authoritarian impulses coexist in both national psyches, sometimes falling into equilibrium, sometimes bursting
into conflict, always generating internal tension. Jim D'Entremont looks at Germany's gay history lessons. |

Gay Pride Worldwide
By: Bill Andriette
| |
The list of gay pride events around the world this season suggests that gay life is essentially concrete and local. You don't need a wide gay circle to know people who've taken a fist up
their ass, dripped wax on a trick, love eating out assholes, or otherwise done things that nobody ever gave them permission to. These are experiences relatively ordinary among gay men but
still shocking in the world beyond. Gay pride day happens in hundreds of places around the world where these networks of subversive sensibility quietly exist. See you at the parade! |

'Powerful gay men. Vulnerable teenaged boys.

The Devil in Kern County
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Bakersfield, California, generates homosexual scandals as thick and furious as the byways of Salem, Massachusetts, were once thought to spawn witches. As one of these scandals
unwravels 19 years after an innocent man was sent to prison, why are Kern County prosecutors still clinging to their belief that there's a demonic gay underground in their midst? |

Sex on the Brain
By: Bill Andriette
| |
Is sexual orientation rooted in biology? Researchers keep finding clues, but critics insist solid evidence isn't there. Openly gay neurologist Simon LeVay helped open the field when he found small differences in brain structure between gay & straight men. A dozen years on, where
does the controversy stand? |

Under one law she championed, gay men who cruise Massachusetts parks face life in prison. Jim D'Entremont investigates the extraordinary record of the woman tapped to lead America's richest and
most powerful lesbian & gay lobby group. |
