Andruw Barnes Likes His Tighty Whities

And we like him in them too!  According to Project Q Atlanta:

Andruw Barnes likes his cars, his sports and calls himself eclectic. The Atlanta guy is also fond of working out and strutting around in tight underwear. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The 6’1” and 185-pound stud is working to break into the modeling business and it seems from his shots on Model Mayhem, gay Aussie glossy DNA and Men Men and more Men that he favors briefs over much of anything else.

Careful, though, as he won’t “do anything too weird the might infringe upon my moral values.” Uh-huh.

Gay Twins and the Science of Epigenetics

Investigating the question of whether or not people are “born gay”. Here’s a great little video with some very interesting information.

I know from my personal experience, I’ve always been gay. From my earliest childhood memories, I liked other boys. My father was a very masculine man, my mother didn’t try to put dresses on me, I have love sports all my life, my brother and two sisters are straight, I like to go fishing and beer is my adult beverage of choice, however my sexuality is what it is, what is has been and what it will always be. I am a firm believer in we do not choose our sexuality no more than we choose the color of our eyes, gender or skin color.

The religious right says even if we don’t control our sexuality, we still can control ourselves by not having sex. But then again, the religious right, for some reason, thinks that sex is evil a bad practice unless it’s only used for procreation.

Matthew Mitcham is Diving for More Gold

In spite of the difficulties he faced, Matthew Mitcham came out of the closet before diving his way to gold stardom at the Beijing Olympics. Now that its over, the gold medalist is looking to cash in on more gold.

Mitcham, along with his partner, Lachlan Fletcher is due to return to Syndey this weekend after a six-week European vacation.  Among is first order of business will be meeting with David Flaskas, his new manager, and the man who helped turn Ian Thorpe into a multimillionaire.

While the swimmer’s like Stephanie Rice and Michael Phelps have landed multi-million dollar endorsement contracts, Mitcham has yet to secure a major deal, amongst a great deal of speculation that his sexuality has held him back.

Flaskas however says he is securely confident his new client will be a “significant earner”, but wouldn’t directly answer questions on whether Mitcham would be a millionaire in a year.

Mitcham appeared on the cover of the latest issue of the gay magazine, DNA, but still has notgiven any post-olympic interviews.
