Tennis Tuesday


Mick Assaf -- aka Peyton Stearns's gorgeous GOAT -- is back, this time in Rome trying his hand at being a ballboy. But from the looks of things, the 5-foot-11, 215-pound former running back for the University of Notre Dame is all man. More to lust BELOW.

Remains of the Day (05/12)








 

Hulu: We just finished Jack Rooke's semiautobiographical "Big Boys," which follows a closeted gay guy's college experience befriending a slightly older straight re-entry student. Everyone's tastes are different, but I'd be surprised if you didn't find this one as moving as I did. (Try to not read too much as spoilers abound.) 





Ask a Cleveland TherapistGay and blowing his "straight" friend





Last Friday Night: Vicki Peterson and hubby John Cowsill kicked off our weekend with a show at the Cutting Room that was entertaining and at times deeply moving. Although they performed fun arrangements of Bangles classics "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like an Egyptian" as well as the Cowsills' groovy cover of "Hair," it was songs from their new collaborative LP -- featuring covers of songs written by two of John's uber-talented late brothers, about whom speaking brought him to tears -- that were the highlight of the night. Check out "A Thousand Times" or "Come to Me" to see what I mean and catch them on tour if you get the chance. Tour info HERE.

The Italian Open is in full swing, chock full of upsets. See what I've amassed so far BELOW.

A Second Sundays First


Damian and I took advantage of the beautiful weather -- and the fact that we celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday -- by attending Second Sunday, a monthly gay outing in Central Park's Sheep Meadow. Although it was my first time attending the sanctioned event, it was a bittersweet experience that took me back to the late 1990s when my late friend Larry Brickman and I would go the park every weekend to check out boys. (It's not a coincidence that Second Sundays are located where they are -- that was always where the boys are!)  As you can see , the atmosphere is as friendly as it is titillating. (Damian, who was eager to even out his Monte Carlo farmer's tan[!], ran into a grad school friend he hadn't seen in over a decade and I even recognized people from my G Lounge days.) There's something special about being surrounded by your peers -- and for gay people, it's unique when drugs and alcohol aren't involved as is often the case in bars and clubs. More photos BELOW.
