You don’t need to be so tough
Jan 19th
This Norwegian public service announcement for gay teens is floating around the net for years now but people ask me about it every now an then so i thought it wouldn’t hurt to post it again. The text says "You don’t need to be so tough""
Censorship of Gay Sites
Oct 12th
 |
Turkey’s two largest gay and lesbian Internet communities, hadigayri.com and gabile.com, have been shut down by the Turkish Telecom Directorate. The newly-created body is permitted to shut down websites without a court order if it believes they violate the Turkish law in any form. The web sites have more than 200,000 members combined. According to its administrators and members, the sites do not contain any criminal or even pornographic content. The directorate blocked the sites without providing any information to the owners or issuing a demand to take down certain content, site mangers said, calling the action unlawful and arbitrary. Read the full story at Pink News Those who get into a rant about censorship in Muslim countries should keep something in mind ‘tho: Many Western states are about to build a web censorship system right now and those who already have one do block mostly gay websites instead of Child Porn, while the latter is the alleged reason behind the whole enterprise. And in times where portraits of fully clothed teenagers are called “child porn” it won’t take long till sites like this will end up on such lists (we had the honour to be on the Australian “child porn” censor list with Count Candy for a while already). |
The worst case, of course, is when some countries don’t even have to come up with such censorship laws – like the USA – because their local companies are so hysterical about everything that doesn’t fit into the norm that its gets deleted anyways. Blogger is a good example here, they started to delete hundreds of perfectly legal gay blogs in August and no, we’re not talking about blogs like milkboys but about blogs with buff 30 year olds.

I’m sure many of you remember about this impressive piece of porn art that is still the best video I have ever seen on XTube. Now a thread in the milkboard and a conversation with Dutch artist and wonder boy heartkore have revealed that ludicolo, who goes by the name of Markus Bollingmo in real life, is obviously not only an artist of lust but also a very talented photographer. He’s from Norway and lives in Paris at the moment.

You can always count on our readers :) I found some photos of Jostein a while ago on a random blog and asked you guys if you know who he is. Well, you knew, thanks a lot! He is 16, from Norway and his blog is quite interesting. I guess some dear people like Dennis Cooper, Thomas Moore or Erik Visser might like the mix over there :)

The first video I saw on YouTube which was flagged as "not suitable for minors" due to the stuff you hear, not what you see… cool ^^,
