John with activist/photographer son Sean, who told the Gray Lady he "identifies as a straight man"

Frankly, I'm loath to give neanderthals like Margaret Court any more attention than she's already getting. But when the "self-appointed commissioner of tennis" goes to the trouble of recording a video making a fool out of her, I'm gonna share!

Watch HERE.

John thinks he knows where Court's anti-gay hate comes from.

THIS is worth a read -- I hope I don't catch lesbianism at Wimbledon next month!

Town & Country Names Its 50 Most Eligible Bachelors for 2017

I'm pretty sure I was the first blogger to treat Tyler Clinton as a piece of MAN MEAT. But kudos to Town & Country for remembering him for its list of most eligible bachelors. Here are a few others who caught my eye:

Sean O'Neal -- aka Sean McEnroe -- recently told the New York Times he "identifies as a straight man." But his Tinder matching with a friend of mine says otherwise.

Jack Schlossberg got the Kennedy hair, and more.

George Spencer-Churchill's name alone is worth accepting a proposal.

I'm a fan the Taschen family's photography books -- and of its photogenic son Bene.

Gus and Theor Wenner's dad is gay, so they can't be all bad.

Jack Dorsey founded Twitter, but you'd swear it was Scruff.

See them all HERE.
