Worker's Union vs. IML

Those who are attending or familiar with IML should find this interesting. There seems to be some drama surrounding this year's International Mister Leather event in Chicago. By extension, one can assume this would also affect the MIR @ IML events that are running concurrently in the same venues. I came across this post on Joe. My. God.

Excerpt: 

The 34th annual International Mister Leather convention is taking place this weekend in Chicago, where attendees at the host hotel could potentially face a picket line over a long-running union labor dispute.

Stormtrooper Romance!

Found this little gem. Amazingly, its not really a comedy. Kinda heavy handed with the drama, but it's still a good watch. It's in Spanish, but there are subtitles. I'm sooooo glad they didn't make them stereotypically uber-gay.



Aw, so cute! Hope they got away!

A webcomic called Starfighter.

I stumbled upon this interesting webcomic, called Starfighter. I recommend you check it out.

The comic is drawn in a (mostly) black and white Japanese anime style, and is set in the future, where the characters are engaged in an interstellar war of sorts. The thing that makes the comic especially appealing is that the spacesuits are tight-fitting, black, and shiny. Did I forget to mention that there is some hot gay sex, too? Yeah, totally not safe for work.

Definitely check out the extras.

This is a yaoi comic. For those unfamiliar with the genre, yaoi, is art or fiction that features gay romance, produced primarily by, and for, females (Edit: Actually, not sure what the gender of the author is, but doesn't really matter). Of course, that doesn't mean we can't indulge in their fantasies, as well. Technically, bara is the correct term for gay stuff made for a gay audience, such as some of the artwork featured in Instigator Magazine, but the term is less widely used among English-speakers.
