Burden of Proof: Who Does The Government Consider Transgender?
The government ought to recognize that “our gender assignment doesn’t depend on our genitals,” says activist Kate Bornstein.

Your Naughty Place, In Leather And Lace
Your Naughty Place, In Leather And Lace
Men’s underwear made from leather and lace provides the wearer with a sensual touch against his skin. Leather underwear can sometimes have a wet look with its subtle shimmer — made sexier by the material’s practically vacuum-sealed level of tightness, in which you can see the outline of nearly everything. Lace underwear, on the other hand, plays up your own skin and gives it a nubile innocence. You can see through it easily, but good luck looking past it.
The second half of The Underwear Expert’s “Kink” photo shoot by Jerrad Matthew plays up lace and leather underwear. The fetish-friendly materials are again covering Jared North’s nether regions, and again push underwear boundaries (at least for some).
Leather underwear is more likely to have a masculine design, whereas lace underwear, even for men, is bound to hang on to some femininity. Still, lace underwear, such as the Gregg Homme Blacklace Brief, reads as a strong masculine pair of underwear. If fetish gear that is 100 percent masculine is more your thing, Male Power (check out the name) has more than a couple leather bodysuits, complete with studs and straps.
You can see more of this photo shoot on The Underwear Expert.

Ben Carson Apologizes for 'Prison-Gay' Comments, Says He's Not Going to Talk About Gay Rights Anymore
Ben Carson Apologizes for 'Prison-Gay' Comments, Says He's Not Going to Talk About Gay Rights Anymore
Republican presidential hopeful and anti-gay extremist Ben Carson has issued an apology for his comments yesterday morning with CNN’s Chris Cuomo explaining why he believes homosexuality is a choice.
Said Carson in the interview:
“Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”
CNN reports:
In a statement, Carson said he “realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues.”
“I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended,” he added.
Carson referenced his medical education and his work at Johns Hopkins Hospital and asserted that the verdict is still out on whether people are born either gay or straight.
“Some of our brightest minds have looked at this debate, and up until this point there have been no definitive studies that people are born into a specific sexuality,” he said.
In a radio interview with Sean Hannity yesterday, however, Carson took a more blame-the-media approach to explaining his comments.
Mediaite reports:
“It was a 25 minute interview they chopped, and you see what part they emphasized,” he said. “I did learn something very important: For certain networks, never do a pre-taped interview. Always do it live.”
In the interview, flagged and cut down into a shorter clip by conservative site The Right Scoop, Hannity agreed with Carson that pre-taped interviews allow for quotes to be taken out context or reshuffled in order to cast them in a certain light.
Carson continued: “I simply have decided I’m not really going to talk about that issue anymore because every time I’m gaining momentum the liberal press says, ‘Let’s talk about gay rights.’ And I’m just not going to fall for that anymore.”

Ten Reasons We’re Excited That Hunky Brit David Gandy Has Signed Onto The AbFab Movie
Ten Reasons We’re Excited That Hunky Brit David Gandy Has Signed Onto The AbFab Movie
In January we were delighted to discover that an AbFab feature film is most definitely in the works, and now we’re hearing that costars will include the hilarious Rebel Wilson and gorgeous David Gandy.
The later appeared in a one-off episode of the series in 2012. He told the Daily Mail at the time:
“People think I’m super-serious when I’m pouting for the cameras so I like to show I have a personality.”
Here’s hoping he shows a bit more personality than he does in this clip:
Still, we’re expecting good things.
And while we’re at it, here are ten reasons we’re looking forward to seeing more of David:
1. The prospect of more little white speedo.
2. He isn’t shy about morning wood.
3. He somehow still serves sexy confidence when he’s trying to act shy.
4. He dives deep.
5. And was using rope way before Christian Grey.
6. He knows how to get a dirty job done right.
7. Those eyes though.
8. He can make ugly underwear look amazing.
9. He’s a true believer in safety first.
10. Just like Patsy and Edina, he drinks his vodka out of a plastic water bottle when necessary.
