Hop Against Homophobia Article #5 - BLMorticia
;)
* * * *
Greetings fans.
Okay so, guys, you’re sitting there with your hot wife, girlfriend, or both…
*snicker* and you’re watching this great movie. No, it’s not a porn but it
might have a scene you didn’t expect to see, something you weren’t looking for
when you scanned the backside cover reading about the flick. What is it?
Ahh! No it couldn’t
be! Its, its’ A HOMOEROTIC SCENE! Wha? What’s that?
Ooh you know, it’s
a gay scene, you know two men kissing, groping, maybe one drops to his knees
like he’s about to give the other a blow job? *laughs* “Fuck no! I can’t watch
this!” Quickly you get up, so fast you almost trip and fall on your face. You
storm out the room and into the kitchen to have a drink!
*Giggles*
This hilarious
scene is what Shar experienced when she watched the movie Dorian Grey with her
husband.
Oh boy! What did
you think was going to happen? Did you think this little scene would do
something to your brain and make you suddenly want to be with a man instead of
your hot girl(s)? Good grief!
The article where
Shar mentions this as well as a HILARIOUS tweet from one of my fave writers Daisy Harris, made me want to write this blogpost. She tweeted about
her book, Built For It,
which is on my buylist. Her message, which was tongue in cheek, “My book is so
hot, it turned my husband gay!” #falseadvertising. A little memo for those who
don’t Tweet. #hashtag might get people to notice the message more because it’ll
trend. It certainly caught my eye and I let her know how funny that was. Then I
got to thinking, is that the fear straight men experience when they don’t want
to watch a gay scene or read a book that has homoerotica?
Sounds silly
doesn’t it? Like it’s some kind of plague or something and as Shar points out
in her article, these are the same men who say they aren’t homophobic. Oh but
you are, man! Dammit what’s a phobe?
Anyway, no offense
to Shar’s man and many across the globe, or fuck maybe you need to be
offended. If you think seeing these kind
of scenes are an issue, you may need to get a clue. There’s nothing wrong with
seeing two men or women kiss on screen or reading it in a book. It’s quite hot
actually!
Doesn’t turn you
on? Okay, that’s your prerogative if it doesn’t but really? Must you run away
from it? C’mon! No big deal. “I just don’t want to see that.” Yeah Shar feels
that way when a slasher scene comes up in a horror movie. It’s a fear of what
she see’s, that my dears is phobic. Same thing applies to you men who runaway
from a movie PHOBIC, say it with me, P-H-O-B-I-C! Homophobic.
Are you offended?
Oh well. It’s just my opinion. I can understand if you don’t want to watch a
porn with nonstop male male action, it might be a bit much but a kissing scene?
C’mon. It makes your girl hot! Most women love the homoerotic! She quivers and
curls her toes when reading a BL love scene, gents. Get with it. This is good
for you in the long run, isn’t it? You get more sex if she’s aroused. DUH!
We’ll talk more
about that later. Right now, leave me your rants. Why are you so afraid? Do you
feel it will turn you gay? And oh shudder, if it did, is it a problem that it
turned you on? Hell, not for me. It’ll make me love you more!
* * * *
Ah BL you really don't care about pissing people off do you?
Well anyway, if you're not too offended, comment to win for this contest!
CONTEST #5 Swag! Oh some postcards and if there's a lot of comments, another gift from ILEP!
Next promo from BL her book from NNP Candyman! Follow this link to read more.

Updates: I Like Em Pretty and...
It will be later than anticipated. We thought we could have it out by Jan 31st but that's not feasible at this time. Right now, the timetable has changed to Mid to late Feb, early March. Why? Shar and I want to bring out the best possible book, well edited which you will enjoy a lot more than something that's rushed.
I will however, be doing a short story for the paranormal side of this series which I still won't name until close to release day. Recall, my friend Judie S who wanted a story about twins who fell for a human? Well, we're going to push that up to be released on Feb 1st! The twins will be involved with the series of stories I'm doing with BL and Rawiya so stay tuned for all the details.
In the meantime, thanks for all the support and patience. Make sure to vote for BL at LRC for best contemporary and best GLBT author. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LoveRomancesCafe/polls and we're also running a contest on this link to win Candyman. No one knows who that man on the left sidebar is? I'm sure you will once you think about it further. Also, BL has some news about a short she's doing along with the Wretched.
Busy, busy, muses. We refuse to let Shar rest!

Scavenger Hunt - Find the Actor!
In celebration of BL's new book, she's running a contest to win 2 free copies.
One was given away earlier and now I'm helping her out on this one.
Look on my main page and find the actor. When you do, name him.
The first one to do so will win a copy of BL's Candyman!
Easy right?
Hope so!
Good luck!
Congrats to Wicked Sis on Release Day!
Congrats to BL on release day of the final book in the SNOTM series.
Blurb: Alain Roux is the new President of the world famous Diamond Candies chocolate factory on the South Side of Chicago. His father, Demi Roux, lost his battle with cancer and has left the business in his care despite Demi’s brother’s advice to leave the company to him. Alain has no interest in the company but to fulfill his father’s last wish, he takes on the day to day of it anyway.
Ty Washington is a born and raised Southsider who is working there to put himself through college. Recently, his father threw him out because he confessed he might be gay. When he and Alain talk, his heart soars and as badly as he tries to fight it, the two connect and eventually they decide to give their relationship a try. In BL’s own humorous way, she’ll tell the tale of a man and his subordinate as they overcome the struggles to build a long lasting commitment.
Also, she received some fab news yesterday!

TRR GLBT Blog Hop feat Rawiya
I'm excited to be hosting sister muse Rawiya since her newest book Sugar Daddy, number 4 in the Something New on the Menu series from NNP was just released.
Why do I love Rawiya's book? I love her characters. Antwon Bantu is a very mature sexy man looking for a lifetime partner while Matthew Davidison is a young man also searching for someone to love him and take care of him.
The wonders of the internet bring them together but here is the tension. There's some secrets between them to be revealed. Will this tear them apart?
Love it!
Here is the blurb and an exciting except!
Something
New on the Menu Series Book Four
Sugar
Daddy
Rawiya
He finds that man, Antwon Bantu on an online dating site and is instantly intrigued. Little does Matthew know that Antwon is involved in a “convenient” marriage and is seeking a younger partner so he can finally get on with his life. Instead of confessing the truth, he decides to hide it, fearing he’ll lose the chance with Matthew if he informs him. To complicate things, Antwon’s wife claims to be in love with him. Antwon must choose what’s more important; loving Matthew or saving his impeccable reputation as a top barrister in the London courts?
Which will he choose?
After school, Matthew did everything he could think
of to keep himself busy until nine pm. He cleaned, did all his homework, cooked
dinner, and talked Devon into leaving for the evening even though his good
friend wanted to stay and hear the conversation. He couldn’t wait to hear that
voice. Just thinking about the rich deep tone made his hardened muscle swell
underneath his sweats. “Damn, what time is it?”
Nearly eight thirty; just a half an hour till he’d
hear the voice of his potential new man. It didn’t matter if he wasn’t into
Caucasians at the moment. Matthew assured himself he’d make Dlovr change his
mind very quickly.
Matthew went into his room, trying to relax and get
his wits about him. He lay on the bed he’d just made up, holding the phone in
his overly busy hands. “Damnit, I’m so nervous.”
It had been awhile since he was this overjoyed about
talking to someone new.
He
just has to be the one.
All the signs pointed to him being the one he’d been
searching for, with the only tiny detail being his preference for black or
Latino. Nothin’ against men of the
colored variety but I’m quite entertaining.
Gripping his cell tightly, he smiled to himself and
stared at the screen. What would Dlover sound like? Matthew hoped he’d have a
deep voice like Barry White, along with a slow hand. “Mhph.” A face like Denzel
wouldn’t hurt! Although Matthew did say that looks didn’t matter that much, he
had to wonder if Dlover was at least an average looking bloke. What if he’s
butt ugly but real sweet? Just the thought made Matthew shudder. “We’ll cross
that bridge when I see the picture.” He bit his lip and placed the handset face
down in his lap. “C’mon nine o’clock.” This waiting period made Matthew even
more uncomfortable. One by one, he began biting his nails on one hand while the
other fidgeted with his curls. All kinds of what ifs ran through his brain.
What if I’m not able to sway him? What if he’s pissed when he sees I’m not the man
in the photo? What if he is butt ugly? Matthew shook his head and sighed. This
had to be the longest half hour of his life. “Maybe I should call him, maybe…”
Jarred from his deep thoughts, Matthew nearly jumped
out his skin when his phone blared the simple ring tone. His palms slightly
moist, he wiped them on his trousers. Attempting to relax, he took a deep
breath, and pressed the green button. “Hello?”
“Hi there, is this Choco?”
Matthew grinned and drew up his lips. A slight bit
of guilt came over him. Choco eyes and hair but not skin. “Yes it is, is this
Dlover?”
“It is indeed. How are you?” The smile came through
the headset making Matthew’s smile grow wider. Not quite Barry White but still
sexy. He licked his lips and propped his cell on his shoulder. “I’m good. My
name is Matthew by the way. And yours?”
Silence then the voice came through once more.
“Antwon. It’s good to talk to you, Matthew. I have to say I’ve been looking
forward to this.”
“Yeah me too.” Making himself comfortable on the
couch, he shifted and stretched his long legs out over the coffee table. “I
have to be honest, I’ve been quite nervous about talking with you all day.”
“Same here. Maybe we could calm each other down.
It’s not like we’re meeting one another in person… yet.”
The last part of that statement caused Matthew’s
heart to skip a beat. Yeah they weren’t meeting but what would occur when they
did?
Hopefully
he’ll still like what he sees.
