If you live near Minneapolis, you owe it to yourself to check out the Wilde Roast Cafe. This cafe that caters to the gay and lesbian community is… just downright delicious! And this isn’t any ordinary “cafe,” in fact, with its charming Victorian feel and atmosphere, it would be exactly something Oscar Wilde (who the cafe is named after) would have likely frequented. Comfortable. Eclectic. Scrumptious! Just ask Bon Appetit who named their flourless chocolate cake, La Bête Noire (aka the Black Beast) one of the best… anywhere. We also like they maintain a blog of local (Minneapolis) events. Wilde Roast Cafe
Hours: Open daily 7am to 11pm
Location: Corner of Hennepin & Central Avenues in Northeast Minneapolis

Below you will find a recent article posted by SFGate.com and it bothered me. Not only is it inaccurate and completely misleading, but just plain irritating. For one, more women (lesbian’s) are victims and perpetrators of Domestic Violence in the GLBT Community than any other. Secondly, using data based in half on a phone line is ANYTHING but accurate. Thirdly, using the phrase, “Who identify” is bogus. Anyone who believes that ONLY 366 incidents of Domestic Violence within the GLBT community (in San Fran) happened in 2005 needs a serious reality check. “The decrease in incidents is due to normal fluctuations in reporting…” So in other words, this is completely skewed and isn’t accurate! That is like saying the rise in electricity bills during December is normal due to Christmas lights…Well, no shit. www.SFGATE.com
Reports of domestic violence in San Francisco’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community decreased in 2005, according to a survey released Monday by Community United Against Violence. The organization documented 366 domestic violence incidents in 2005, down from 416 the year before. The majority of the 2005 reports, 261, came from people who identify as lesbian or gay, and more men reported being victims than did women.
The instances of verbal, physical and emotional abuse came from people who called a crisis phone line or sought help from Community United Against Violence or the Asian Women’s Shelter.
The decrease in incidents is due to normal fluctuations in reporting, said Shawna Virago, director of the domestic violence survivor program at Community United Against Violence.
The organization provides counseling, restraining order assistance and vouchers for temporary housing to victims of domestic violence. The phone number of the group’s 24-hour crisis line is (415) 333-4357.
Talk about viewer participation! Elijah is a broke college student who had seen Spence’s pictures on the website. He sent SC an e-mail saying how much he wanted to do a film with Spence. He had attached a few pictures of himself and what SC really liked was his thick, curly, blond hair. So, SC gave him a call and he seemed really nice and put together.

Blimey, Daniel’s at BlakeMason.com is hot! With piercing blue eyes, shaggy hair, a nicely toned body and a lovely uncut cock! This is his first time doing an adult shoot and he was just a little nervous… but somehow that adds something to this movie. His cock kind of springs out and bobs around before he grabs it and begins to jerk off. And he’s got a real mixed technique – slow, then fast, then teasy… just the way we like it… all at BlakeMason.com!
Simon is the latest lad at EnglishLads.com, just out of the army after 7 years of service! He loves to play about in his combats and boots pulling them down to reveal bulging green pants! Simon pulls down his undies to reveal not just a hard cock, but something so hard it points up slapping against his abs. This is one horny lad! He loves wanking, doesn’t have porn at home and hasn’t wanked for over 2 weeks! All you see is rock hard squaddie in every detail and he even “gave in” to show his hairy ass. Mmm… check out this hot guy at EnglishLads.com!
