You Don’t Want to Miss Coca Cola’s New Gay Ad

International soft drink giant The Coca Cola Company just released a new commercial where a brother and a sister both are drooling over the super hunky pool boy and end up fighting to impress him.

It may not be as revolutionary as Disney including a gay character in their newest movie, but any little step towards normalizing homosexuality is defenitely a good thing.

Well worth watching for the hot pool boy eye candy alone, the ad also has an interesting twist at the end. Watch and enjoy!

Spokeswoman Kate Hartman told The Huffington Post that the “Pool Boy” commercial was simply intended as a “human story where Coca-Cola plays a key role in the development of the drama.”

“The story also includes a wink that touches on our point of view regarding diversity and inclusion,” she said. “We are managing culturally relevant messages organically within our spots, not as the main subject of the story, but as subtext.”

The ad, she noted, was representative of Coca-Cola’s overall stance on the LGBTQ community and other minority groups. “We strive for diversity, inclusion and equality in our business,” she said, “and support these rights in society through our work.”

Why Sleeping with Your Friend’s Dad Is Bad

Why Sleeping with Your Friend’s Dad Is Bad

Even if your friend’s dad turns out to be gay, sleeping with him is a really terrible idea.

Dear Max,

I came out over 2 years ago.

Shortly after, I started spending a lot of time with my best friend’s dad. He was a really good person to talk to and he made me feel so good about myself.

One night, he took me to dinner and a movie to talk about something. During dinner, he told me that he was gay. After that, he started to cry so I took him back to my apartment to comfort him. But then one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together.

I really like him, but I don’t want to hurt my best friend. How should I break it to her or should I just let him go and forget anything ever happened.

Please help!!

Dear Desperate,

I think you know that you’ve made an awful mistake – in a moment of madness – that is very likely to end with you losing both your friend and your potential lover.

A part of you was probably drawn to the excitement of the “forbidden”, even though you were also attracted to your friend’s dad as a man you like and respect.

You may want to stay away from that situation or at least don’t mention anything.

Whatever your friend’s dad told you was a secret. So you should not tell your friend about it. Let him deal with it at his own terms.

If you like your friend’s dad enough to risk losing your friend and potentially cause a rift in their dad-daughter relationship, at least be patient and don’t go out with him again for a while.

Give him a chance to tell your friend the truth about his sexuality and about your relationship.

Good luck!

“Beauty And The Beast” To Feature Disney’s First Gay Character

Disney’s new version of “Beauty and the Beast” – this time with real actors in all the roles – is being released in just a couple weeks. And there are some really big news!

In an interview with Attitude magazine, director Bill Condon revealed that the much anticipated (and heavily promoted) new movie will feature Disney’s first ever gay character.

Of course we all know that Elsa is gay, even though nobody’s bothered to spell it out to us, but this time it’s for real: Gaston’s sidekick LeFou – played by Frozen’s Josh Gad – is revealed to be gay.

“LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,” Condon told Attitude. “He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realising that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. And that’s what has its payoff at the end, which I don’t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”

For some this may not sound like such a big deal, but as Attitude’s editor-in-chief Matt Cain so well explains it:

“By representing same-sex attraction in this short but explicitly gay scene, the studio is sending out a message that this is normal and natural – and this is a message that will be heard in every country of the world, even countries where it’s still socially unacceptable or even illegal to be gay.

“It’s only a first step towards creating a cinematic world that reflects the one in which many of us are now proud to live. But it’s a step in the right direction and I applaud Disney for being brave enough to make it – and in doing so hopefully helping to change attitudes and bring about real social progress.”

“Beauty and the Beast” smashed records when its first trailer racked up more than 127 million views in just 24 hours last November.

Ricky Martin Says John Travolta Made Him Gay

When little Ricky watched John Travolta in his underwear on Saturday Night Fever it stirred a few new unfamilar emotions in his evolving body.

The gay artist says the scenes of Travolta as Tony Manero were actually what made him realise he was gay.

Martin appeared on Watch What Happens Live and a caller asked him straight out what his first gay crush was.

And the latin singer replied:

“Saturday Night [Fever] with John Travolta.”

“And that underwear scene where he stands up, sits down and he even puts it in order.”

“I saw that movie back then like eight times and I didn’t know why.”

My oh my. Jean-Claude Van Damme’s butt scene in Universal Soldier was my defining moment, but anyway. Andy Cohen asked Ricky Martin if he ever talked to Travolta about this, and Martin replied:

“I’m sure we’ve met, but no, I never told him, “You’re my first crush!”

Martin didn’t just go on the show to talk about his youth desires, he also talked about his future family plans.

He revealed that he’s planning to have more children with fiancé Jwan Yosef.

“Of course I want a big family. It’s funny because the way we do babies, I get to choose the sex. Definitely girls are coming,” he said.

He and his fiancé Jwan Yosef already have two 8-year-old twin boys.

I Don’t Like Being Gay

I Don’t Like Being Gay

In order to live a happy life you must first accept who you really are

Dear Max,

I don’t like being gay. I’ve already accepted the fact that I’m gay and that there isn’t anything that I can do about it.

I understand that it was never a choice and that, in order to be happy with myself, I have to be “happy” with IT. But I’m not.

I realized that I was gay when I was seventeen and, at that time, only admitted to myself that I was gay, but I was never happy with it. It was kind of like I was told I had cancer; it’s the truth, but I didn’t want to think about.

I had always assumed that it was my youth that prevented me from truly accepting my sexuality and that I would eventually, sort of, “grow out of it”. But in two weeks, I’ll turn 24 and my attitude towards my sexuality hasn’t changed at all.

My family is the most important thing to me. We’ve been through hell and back together. My siblings know I’m gay and still love me the same as they’ve always had. But they both agree that my parents will never accept me as a gay son. I had always assumed that they would live with me in their ripe-old ages and that they would be the abilities for my children that I didn’t have.

I’ve come out to co-workers in the past and the fear of rejection isn’t astoundingly large. Although it’s always DEFINITELY been there. I know it sounds bad. But I could not care less what they think of me, it’s my family that’s always important. But the reality is, you need a job to feed yourself and it would become exceedingly difficult to become an excellent employee if you’re always afraid to share yourself with your coworkers.

The same is true for making strong friendships. I always thought that I would marry, have children and live the kind of life that my parents unsuccessfully worked so hard to give to us. That definitely won’t happen.

Why? First, gays can’t have children. Second, It would be notoriously difficult to enter a lifelong relationship with another man when I can’t accept that I WANT to be with another man (this comes from my dating experiences), and third (the most important) you can’t guide children into adulthood if you, yourself can’t accept yourself like an adult.

Professional counseling is great, if you’re wealthy. But for me, I can’t help but think that life would be so much rosier if I had been born straight.

–Unhappily gay

Dear Unhappily gay,

You are so wrong in so many ways. Gays can have children, they can marry and they can definitely live very happy and fulfilling lives. I understand that you don’t want to be gay and that you would want another life. Well, I don’t really understand it, but I do accept it.

Life can be tough but it can also very beautiful. Focus your energy into positive things instead of the negatives. Who are you? are you just someone who likes men? is that what your life is all about? I don’t think so and I don’t think you have accepted who you really are as a person.

You are a beautiful person. You are unique and you are surrounded by family and friends. You are now someone very special to our b-gay.com readers. By asking this question, you may be helping people that you will never know. Their lives may change because they actually know what you are going through. So your life has meaning in so many ways. Doesn’t that make you happy?

Stop wishing you were straight. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Find out who you are and accept your destiny. Talk to other gay people. Once you do that, you will find the key to a successful and happy life.

Good luck!
