The Supreme Court has ruled gay marriage legal in all 50 states, but does that mean… Read the rest

STI Checks for Gay Men

(GayWebSource.com – Gay News and Press Syndication) – Posted by SeasonsofPride.com

Sex between men can be fun, vibrant and steamy, however, it should also be safe. While using condoms and being open and honest with sexual partners is a great step towards this goal, a powerful tool in the safe sex repertoire of the gay community is regular Sexually Transmitted Infection “STI” checks.  STIs are sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites that can… Read the rest

6 Historical Figures You Didn’t Know Were LGBTI+

(GayWebSource.com – Gay News & Press Network) – Posted by SeasonsofPride.com

History books like to make events out to be black text on white paper — but life isn’t always like a book or movie — and people aren’t just one thing or another.
