Here's hoping that day comes soon.

THAT, my friend, was a hands on the head, full-on liplock.

And to that, I say, WUFF!

You don't really see that happen in the Anglo-dominated media, since Anglo-Saxons find homo-social warmth offensive, but if you have ever lived or studied in France or spent much time there, you'll see this kind of thing all the time, every day between men - at cafes or in businesses, it's just the French thing. Hard to explain, but it's delightful to witness.

Seeing two hot guys kiss is pretty fucking cool....


... and even though they are European.... don't think for a moment that the homoerotic overtones are lost on them.... if it had been a total non-issue ... they wouldn't have shown the kiss twice, and from different angles.....


Lets face it... showing a kiss between guys helps their (homo creed) acceptance score, and no doubt means money in the bank accounts of the players, and the Rugby club...


Just as the (homo) sex factor isn't lost on David Beckham.... he knows Gay men buy his calendars, and he gladly shows off his "modesty", while cashing those lotto sized paychecks....


These fellows might be European, but they're are not stupid... Queer Money Is Still Green. (or red, blue, orange, purple, yellow & green in their case)

We were at the S.W. Florida fair last night and it was cowboy night (and let me tell you there were some cowboys!) I was throwing darts to pop balloons to win a prize. I won a large mirror with a picture super imposed into it ( got to pick from a large selection) the only one I saw that I liked was one of Taylor Lautner. When the guy handed it to me a cowboy standing next to me called me a fucking homo and before I could say anything the guy running the game got in his shit for it. The cowboy then said we don't want to play your fucking game if you take queer money and the guy running the game said I'll take queer money over your God Damn confederate money any day of the week!

I played the game again and when I left I felt really good that I didn't have to say a word (a complete stranger that I did not know did it for me). That made the rest of my night at the fair very enjoyable.

Many Thanks For That.....


It's nice to hear that you in fact met a "hero" last night...... (the only part of the story that gives me angst, is that you didn't get his number to pass over my way.... damn!)....

Can someone translate the comments of the announcer?

I think it's something about "that's his reward for ......"

Anybody know how to put this into a translation robot of some kind?

It's real hot, yeah, I still like to see young hunky football guys kissing, even at my advanced age.

What I would do to be able to play soccer or rugby or even tennis and basketball at my age.

By the way, does anyone here think Jeremy Lin is hot looking? I have some video links to him, yes, really him, getting out of bed and working out. Off topic, I know, but I like him a lot. Who wouldn't love to be kissed by that man?
