Boy Culture Links: FalconINK Offering Gay Lust Stories, Beshear Politely Asks McConnell to Resign, Boy George's Pro-War Anthem, Lindsey Graham Was Hard for War + MORE
JULY 28, 2026
VARIETY: Falcon — yes, that one — is jumping quickly into the erotic-publishing game via FalconINK. New books are coming to capitalize on the Heated Rivalry craze. They told Marc Malkin they’ll have THREE imprints: Falcon Books, NakedSword Books and Raging Stallion Books.
POLITICO: IMHO, handsome, POTUS-esque Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) has failed the vibe test by waiting until now to meekly ask ailing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) to either show more proof he is capable of serving or resign. Too little, too late.
LGBTQ NATION: Another tiresome, finger-wagging essay about how we shouldn’t mock Lindsey Graham for being gayyyy, but for being evilll. I hate these think pieces. They overlook the obvious — the gay jokes are feeding off the tension between who we know he really was and who he presented himself to be. It’s a mockery of hypocrisy. Fuck that dead fag.
TWITTER: Trump delights in recalling how much Lindsey Graham loved … war.
THE GUARDIAN: Boy George is now cool with war, apparently. In a sudden shift, the singer of “war, war is stupid” is supporting Israel with a bonkers song whose lyrics include “you say genocide / I say war.” How … charming.
I mean, I —unlike some — don’t think Israel should disappear, etc., but it’s odd that we’re being asked not to criticize the actions of Israel’s government even as harshly as we criticize our own Trump-government’s actions. In a related development, I’m seeing a lot of gay people using the Berlin terrorist attack as an excuse to lay it all on garden-variety Islam. We never have these conversations about Christianity after all these mass shootings. It’s like we’re right back to 9/11 Islamophobic hysteria again.
Anyway, Boy George wading in feels deeply fake. He likes Jewish people — good! — but just said of Israel THIS YEAR:
“I’m not necessarily connected to Israel. I don’t really have an opinion on that. But the mission of music is to unite people.”
JOE.MY.GOD.: As evil as Trump and Graham are/were, gay-ass Scott Bessent is right in there with him. Here, he claims we won’t need to save any money for retirement because AI is going to create so many wonderful things for the world. Huh?! Living in a pink Barbie house for years addled this queen’s brain.
NEW YORK TIMES: Booker Prize nominees are announced, including The Disappearers by Marlon James:
“In 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play. The men are strangers to one another and each has a different reason for being involved. But they all share one inescapable truth: All of them are gay―a ‘battyman’ in Jamaican argot―and all of them must contend with the dangers that such a truth lays bare.
“One night a mob savagely attacks them, killing one of the men. For the survivors, their recovery is as much emotional as it is physical. As their bodies heal, each man grapples with the violence, the hatred, and the rage that the attack made plain. Some try to ignore what the attack has unearthed, while others double down on retribution.
“In The Disappearers, Marlon James has written a riveting and deeply human story of men forced to make compromises to survive what the society they live in demands. It is both a dramatic page-turner and an unflinching exploration of queer life in Jamaica during the 1980s and 1990s.”
LOL "Fuck that dead fag"
Totally.
