Gay Marriage Proposal Of The Day: Ryan And Clayton

Gay Marriage Proposal Of The Day: Ryan And Clayton

Powell’s, the largest independent bookstore in the world (located in Portland, OR), became the site of an adorable same-sex marriage proposal this week. Towleroad reader Clayton told us that he thought he was going to a friend’s book signing when, lo and behold, now-fiance Ryan got down on one knee.

Powell’s tweeted this Instagram picture with the caption: “Today’s best thing. #Repost from @malexonthego — It was so special getting to witness Ryan propose to Clayton. I love love! #hesaidyes.”

'TransCuba,' Mariette Pathy Allen Photography Book, Showcases Transgender Life In Cuba

'TransCuba,' Mariette Pathy Allen Photography Book, Showcases Transgender Life In Cuba
TransCuba, from photographer Mariette Pathy Allen, documents the lives and experiences of transgender individuals living and working in Cuba.

Allen has been documenting transgender culture on a global scale for more than 30 years and previously won the Lambda Literary Award for The Gender Frontier. Published by Daylight Books, this compelling new work from Allen serves as a monograph of transcoder culture specifically within Cuba, with 80 color photos accompanied by personal essays and interviews.

“The people who comprise what we understand as transgender have always existed, but the understanding of who they are and how they can participate in society is new,” Allen notes in TransCuba. “As the Cuban population as a whole gains greater personal freedom, it will hopefully continue to be reflected in the treatment of sexual minorities. I can envision a future time when mainstream society will be so free of judgment and prejudice that gender-variant people will be appreciated as teachers who show the rest of us how to liberate ourselves from the rigidity of gender roles and find alternative ways of integrating mind and body. For now, though, I just want to celebrate the inherent beauty, artistry, and humor of the Cubans I was so fortunate to meet.”

PHOTOS: Gay Daddies And Their Sexy Sons Together On Father’s Day

Screen shot 2014-06-13 at 1.27.07 PMThis Father’s Day there’s no shortage of events happening for gay daddies and their admirers all around the country: Daddy’s Day Pool Party in Fort Lauderdale, Come to Daddy in Brighton, Leather Daddy at Numbers in San Diego, Disco Daddy at the Eagle in San Francisco, Daddy Bearz Tea Dance at Club Cafe in Boston.

Intergenerational romances are nothing new, especially in the gay community, where there are fewer social barriers to dating outside one’s own peer group. In fact, lots of guys prefer hooking up/dating men who are different in any number of ways, including life chronology. And why the hell not? There’s something sexy about an older daddy mentoring his younger son (or vice versa, in some cases), both inside and outside of the bedroom.

Scroll down to see photos of gay daddy-os. And let us know what you think in the comments section below: Is age really just a number?
