Boy Culture Links: Hot LGBTQ+ Auctions, Benson's Buns, Hong & Lindell Lose in Wisconsin, Dallas Steele Leaving Job After Anti-Provincetown Post + MORE
AUGUST 12, 2026
VALLOTS: The first of three queer auctions I’m highlighting in a single post is the one by Vallots. Ch-check it out.
CNN: Karoline Leavitt is OUTTA HERE!
JUST JARED: Benson Boone stripped to the waist before jumping into the audience at his last concert.
ROB SHUTER: As I have been saying, Perez Hilton’s insane religious conversion was giving “ex-gay” — and just like Milo Yiannopoulos, he reportedly was telling friends exactly that before he self-harmed.
HUFFINGTON POST: I only ever heard that Francesca Hong was going to coast through the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin, and yet she suddenly lost to establishment Dem David Crowley … who at one point had dropped out. Hard to figure how the polling could have been so off, but on the other hand, she seemed to be deeply ungifted politically.
POLITICO: Mike Lindell — the epically idiotic MyPillow buffoon — also lost in Wisconsin.
NEW YORK TIMES: Another big progressive win arrived via Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota.
SWANN AUCTION GALLERIES: Swann’s annual LGBTQ+ auction is here, is queer and we are, by now, used to it.
KENNETH IN THE (212): Tennis hotness.
POTTER & POTTER: What in the HELL were these dudes into?!
FACEBOOK: Porn star Dallas Steele was in Provincetown to, in part, help launch a Seaplane (his employer) clothing brand when he decided he hated the place. He name-checked his employer in a long, (to me) whiny piece slamming P-Town in favor of Palm Springs. Now, he has lost his job.
Fair or too far?
