Dove's Real Beauty Sketches campaign has been making the rounds on the interwebz this week and if you haven't seen it you really should.
Though that campaign was primarily targeted at women--we certainly could identify. (Spoiler alert: we could probably all use a dose of improved self-perception.)
While gay men and straight women may be overly critical of our own appearances, are (presumably) straight guys suffering from the same problem?
The parody video, "Dove Real Beauty Sketches: Men" attempts to find out.
Check it out (and the original vid) after the jump!

Nate Gody and Jennifer DeLeo from Seattle Gay News have released candid shots that convey a salient sense of joy unmatched in other media images from the big mass wedding that took place at Seattle City Hall on Sunday. Nate and Jennifer were some of the only professional photographers allowed inside City Hall to document the big day, a fact that allowed them a unique perspective of history. Follow the jump for a few more (after you grab a tissue, of course)!

For gay men coming out at younger ages and feeling an earlier "pressure" to get or remain fit, the superficiality of it all may have deeper health benefits than once assumed and may not amount to a futile endeavor. According to a recent comprehensive Swedish study tracking one million young men, those who are physically strong between the ages of 16 and 19 will likely live longer than their weaker peers—even if they become overwheight later in life.

We were disconsolate when Matthew Mitcham threatened to retire from the world of Olympic diving after the London Games. But our M-A-C-glossed frowns were turned upside down today when we learned that the Aussie hottie has parlayed his experience (and Olympic-carved body) into another fruitful career. Thanks to this new campaign from Funky Trunks, we don't have to pour a beer a glass of Veuve on the diving board in honor of Matthew; it looks like he's on to bigger (just check out his underwear modeling assets!) and better (at least for our lingering eyes) things in the years ahead.
Check out more of our Hump Day Hottie in his new Funky Trunks campaign after the jump!

They probably provide highbrow commentary on the intersection of religion and culture and politics or whatnot, but the preview art from the 2013 Orthodox Calendar leave us too distracted to complete a thorough dissertation.
Check out more images from the calendar that'll secretly hang in Pope Benedict's dungeoun beneath the Vatican after the jump!

GLAAD handed out its annual Amplifier Awards honoring the best in LGBT advertising and PR Tuesday night. Though its year in advertising boasts a string of reasons it deserved the top honor last night, JC Penney's "First Pals" catalogue image featuring dads Cooper Smith Koch and Todd Koch and their kids Claire and Mason stood out.
The family sent in a video acceptance speech as they received the Outstanding LGBT Image in Mainstream Advertising award from GLAAD. Check it out after the jump!

Not many folks saw That's My Boy in theaters this summer, so with the DVD release of the movie coming in two weeks, the studio's promotional forces are trying their damnedest to have us pre-order the poorly reviewed flick (and take a long lunch)!
We had no idea that gorgeous Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia had so much junk in his trunk, which is on flagrant display in That's My Boy (and in new promotional images for the DVD)!
Want the same expression on Milo's face (above) copy + pasted onto your mug? Follow the jump for the NSFW shots featuring what Milo's somehow kept hidden all these years!

Maybe the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 becaues those sage elders knew that there'd be a chance we'd no longer be able to track the years with a new picture of silver daddy Colton Ford every month! Who wants to live in that kind of world?!
To ensure that the Mayans got it wrong, Colton has launched a Kickstarter campaign so that he can bring his 2013 calendar to our boudoirs and a new music video to our eyeballs.

Is Hugh Jackman seeing Madonna's mad scientist nutritionist? How in bloody hell is it possible that the heartthrob from Down Under is more ripped than ever in the drool-soliciting new shirtless promo pic from The Wolverine? Maybe it's all that kick-stretch-kicking he's been doing on Broadway that has given him a twelve-pack and brought his brawn out in full force?
Whatever his secret, the first image from the upcoming movie has us crossing our fingers and legs (an unusual promise to fall from our mouths!) that The Wolverine shows up in IMAX upon release.
Speaking of release, follow the jump to check out the shredded Hugh Jackman!

While Reichen Lehmkuhl harshly pushes the spotlight away, his ex- or current- or it's-complicated-bf Rodiney Santiago is certainly welcoming it. And for that, we thank him.
