![]() ![]() Guys? I have no idea what “beats” refers to, but is it really “sad” that the practice of sticking your dick through a hole to be greeted by who knows who or what on the other side has been replaced by face-to-face encounters between openly gay men? Maybe not openly gay, but you get my point. Sadly this culture has now disappeared with the installation of automated toilet cubes and gay pick up apps like Grindr Scruff.” ![]() Beat culture is not often talked about, but most of the gay community has done it at one time or another. “Beats were an important part of gay social life and culture: they were a great place to meet, make friends and have a great anonymous sexual experience.

Handal, who is about to marry her partner Zadette Rosado, had moved to the Chicago suburb with Rosado and their two daughters last May. In Barrington, Illinois, someone stole the rainbow flag from Casey Handal’s backyard pole and replaced it with the stars and stripes. It’s not the first time something like this has happened, but it’s still a sweet story with which to begin the year. This woman is indestructible, knock on wood. Oh my God! I would not be surprised if Ginsburg got hit by a freight train and emerged with a few cuts and bruises. … My happiest recent story was the one where Ruth Bader Ginsburg had lung cancer surgery and now seems fine. ![]()
