“The last thing parents serving their nation overseas should be worried<br />
about, particularly in a theater with heightened geopolitical tensions, is<br />
whether their children are being exposed to sexually charged content simply<br />
because they visited their local library,” Rubio REPUBLICAN wrote.

RICK SINDT A GAY ARTIST<br />
WHO FINDS INSPIRATION<br />
AND SELF-DISCOVERY IN<br />
PORNOGRAPHY<br />
Rick Sindt was born in Hastings,<br />
Minnesota. He moved to Chicago and<br />
attended North Park University and<br />
graduated with a degree in visual arts<br />
magna cum laude. As a gay person<br />
questioning his role in society and life in<br />
general he uses his artistic creativity to<br />
help answer these questions for himself<br />
and at the same time may answer some<br />
questions for others viewing his art.<br />
framework to imagine what it would be<br />
like to touch and be touched in these<br />
ways. By embracing the feeling evoked<br />
by these images and videos, I gained a<br />
greater understanding of the intimacy<br />
I desired. Using cropped images of<br />
pornography, my work follows the same<br />
self-discovery process; pornographic<br />
imagery is the gateway that ultimately,<br />
leads to the intimacy in (my) paintings<br />
Rick Sindt works in drawing with graphite<br />
as well as painting primarily in oils. His<br />
work shows an understanding of human<br />
anatomy and the complexities of<br />
movement and the eroticism evoked<br />
by the body. This graphite pencil<br />
Following are some excerpts from his<br />
own artist statement:<br />
For me, self-discovery was found<br />
through the viewing of pornography.<br />
I found the intimacy I desired within<br />
the taboo, my identity revealed to me<br />
through cultural artifacts deemed to<br />
be smut. For myself, and others in the<br />
queer community, <strong>this</strong> smut becomes<br />
sacred. Pornography is a gateway<br />
for curiosity, a seedling of desire, and<br />
a teacher who makes these acts<br />
permissible. Pornography provides a<br />

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sent a<br />
letter to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank<br />
Kendall regarding the Air Force Library<br />
at Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany<br />
hosting a “Drag Queen Story Time” event<br />
for young children of servicemembers.<br />
Rubio urged him to cancel the event,<br />
The full text of the letter is below.<br />
Dear Secretary Kendall:<br />
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was<br />
so happy he posted gay hate on his Recently, the Air Force Library at<br />
website. Sorry, Rube Drag is part of Ramstein Air Force Base (AFB) in<br />
gay life. We don’t spit on barbershop Germany announced that it would be<br />
quartets, do we?<br />
hosting a “Drag Queen Story Time” event<br />
Ok, I see how The Hips on the Drag planned for <strong>June</strong> 2, <strong>2022</strong> to celebrate<br />
Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish could Pride Month on base. I urge you to<br />
excite Trumps’s Liddle Marco, so I guess immediately cancel <strong>this</strong> politically<br />
we let the voters decide. Wait, the divisive event, and take appropriate<br />

kids today who are living through extreme<br />
circumstances. The mental health of youth is<br />
a very important topic and PSGFF recognizes<br />
that it has a way to work with and help global<br />
youth.<br />
Krechman is passionate about giving a voice<br />
to those who need it most and believes that<br />
film is one of the most powerful mediums for<br />
storytelling and communication. This event<br />
will serve as an opportunity for PSGFF to raise<br />
awareness and funds for the festival, where<br />
the finalists will be announced at the United<br />
Nations in New York in December <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Peacemaker Corps Foundation Founder to<br />
Deliver Special Message on the <strong>2022</strong> Film<br />
Festival at Rancho Mirage Rotary Club<br />
@ Rancho Mirage Library<br />
Carole Krechman, CEO and founder of the<br />
Peacemaker Corps Foundation, will be<br />
delivering a special heartfelt message about<br />
the <strong>2022</strong> PSGFF Film Festival to the Rancho<br />
Mirage Rotary Club. The Film Festival is<br />
designed to promote World Peace through the<br />
eyes of the world’s youth and <strong>this</strong> year we will<br />
include films from Ukrainian youth who have<br />
experienced terror first-hand.<br />
<strong>June</strong> 02<br />
FREE Entry - starts 7:30am<br />
The Peacemaker Corps and their primary<br />
initiative, PSGFF - is an NGO affiliated with the<br />
United Nations - They work closely with the UN<br />
and are supported by UN agencies, and have a<br />
long relationship with them.<br />
Carole Krechman will be talking about all<br />
The Peacemaker Corps is ensuring that the<br />
voices and stories of both World Youth and also<br />
Ukrainian youth made homeless by war are<br />
heard. It’s critical for these youngsters, who are<br />
now going through such terror, to be able to<br />
express their feelings, to have someone listen<br />
to them, and to feel some control over their<br />
situation.<br />
The Peacemakers Corps Annual Peace in the<br />
Streets Global Film Festival (PSGFF) will allow<br />
all youth to interact with people all over the<br />
world. They provide them with a platform<br />
from which they may express themselves and<br />
advocate for their own interests.<br />
Today, more than ever, young people,<br />
especially from Ukraine need to be able to<br />
express their emotions, aspirations, and futures<br />
in short films. PSGFF is a one-of-a-kind venue<br />
for the world to see <strong>this</strong>.<br />
As an NGO partner with the UN, we are allowed<br />
to broadcast our PSGFF award ceremony live<br />
worldwide on UN WebTV and continue to offer<br />

disciplinary action against all involved<br />
in allowing <strong>this</strong> gross abuse of taxpayer<br />
funding to place children in a sexualized<br />
environment.<br />
U.S. military installations exist to<br />
serve the needs of the warfighter for<br />
training, logistics, storage, testing,<br />
and deployment. Simultaneously,<br />
the installation must also support the<br />
needs of servicemembers and their<br />
families, including creating a safe,<br />
healthy environment for parents raising<br />
children. This is why installations often<br />
include commissaries, pharmacies,<br />
schools, and libraries. On installations<br />
outside the continental United States<br />
(OCONUS), these amenities play an<br />
even more central role in the life of our<br />
servicemembers and their families.<br />
Frequently, servicemembers do not<br />
have options available outside OCONUS<br />
installations due to language and<br />
logistical barriers.<br />
how [they] can feel fabulous inside of<br />
[their] own bodies.”[1] As I hope you<br />
can agree, decisions over children and<br />
their bodies should be left to moms and<br />
dads serving our nation, not mediated<br />
through publicly funded propaganda on<br />
U.S. Air Force bases.<br />
The last thing parents serving their nation<br />
overseas should be worried about,<br />
particularly in a theater with heightened<br />
geopolitical tensions, is whether their<br />
children are being exposed to sexually<br />
charged content simply because they<br />
visited their local library. I urge you<br />
to cancel <strong>this</strong> event, and request the<br />
following information:<br />
This is not the first time <strong>this</strong> library has<br />
done an event of <strong>this</strong> type, evidently<br />
having hosted a similar one for children<br />
last <strong>June</strong>. How many instances of events<br />
involving drag queens spending time<br />
around children have occurred at<br />
government sponsored events on U.S.<br />
military installations both OCONUS and<br />
in the United States?<br />
How much U.S. taxpayer funding<br />
has gone to cover salaries, utilities,<br />
materials, transportation, and other costs<br />
associated with these events?<br />
Do you and President Biden believe the<br />
proper role of the U.S. Department of<br />
Defense is to facilitate extraordinarily<br />
divisive events involving the children of<br />
U.S. servicemembers?<br />
In light of <strong>this</strong>, it is completely insane<br />
for Ramstein AFB to use on-installation<br />
resources for rituals like “Drag Queen<br />
Story Time.” These inappropriate events<br />
are extremely divisive at home for good<br />
reason; in all cases, they place young<br />
children in close proximity with adults<br />
who are intentionally and explicitly<br />
sexualized. A flyer for the similar event<br />
last year highlighted the apparent<br />
inclusion of a controversial book, The<br />
Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish,<br />
Swish, Swish. The author of the book Thank you for your consideration to <strong>this</strong><br />
said they wrote it so that children could important matter.<br />
“experience the magic of drag and to<br />
get a little practice shaking their hips<br />
or shimmying their shoulders to know<br />

drawing of the back torso of a male<br />
titled, “The Body is a Bridge” illustrates his<br />
understanding of bodily movement.<br />
Using selected enlarged segments<br />
of stills from pornographic videos he<br />
reinterprets them in paintings that<br />
instigate in viewers an illicit selection of<br />
emotions from romanticism to eroticism<br />
and perhaps for some who are not<br />
comfortable viewing explicit sex disgust<br />
or homophobia. The painting “ The<br />
Whole Private Selves” testifies to the<br />
tenderness of lovemaking between two<br />
men.<br />
The painting “Handing Your Heart to the<br />
Heat” exhibits an explicit view of male<br />
anal sex. Sindt says in his artist statement<br />
that says, “ pornography opens a<br />
gateway for curiosity, a seeding of<br />
desire”<br />
The<br />
painting, “A<br />
Glimpse of<br />
Something”<br />
shows a<br />
segment<br />
of intimate<br />
positioning<br />
between<br />
two males<br />
in a sex<br />
act that<br />
“provides a<br />
framework<br />
to imagine<br />
what it would be like to touch and be<br />
touched in these ways” as Sindt states in<br />
his statement.<br />
from page 8<br />
Quoting Oscar Wilde, “To regret one’s<br />
own experiences is to arrest one’s own<br />
develppment. ‘To deny one’s own<br />
experiences is to put a lie into the lips of<br />
one’s own life. It is no less than a denial<br />
of the soul” Rick Sindt has revealed<br />
some of his personal desires for intimacy<br />
as he found in “smut” as he refers<br />
to the pornography that inspired his<br />
creativity and helped him find a greater<br />
understanding of himself.<br />

Two Men of<br />
Taunton Project<br />
Part<br />
4<br />
The story<br />
Two Men<br />
of Taunton<br />
is about<br />
revolution,<br />
as it<br />
happened.<br />
then dug with my hands to bring it up<br />
and toss it in the canoe. Or take my<br />
knife and split it and eat it raw. I would<br />
also fish Flounder on a rig and land<br />
gigantic Stripper Bass with a lure the size<br />
of a good fish today,<br />
You have everything needed for a<br />
traditional clambake with Beer, lobster,<br />
seaweed, quahog, and some root<br />
veggies. Making it on the beach with<br />
freshly caught ingredients is a must on<br />
My dad loved his garden, and right in<br />
the middle, he had a flag and flew the<br />
US and Taunton Flag on patriotic days.<br />
People would ask what the other Flag<br />
was for, and he would beam with pride.<br />
It was the first Flag in the revolutionary<br />
war.<br />
As a boy I loved lobster! My relatives set<br />
lobster traps, and I was licensed to dig<br />
quahogs. Some days before breakfast,<br />
I would set out to the atlantic to gather<br />
them from the ocean. I would pre-sell<br />
some for gas money at the Golden<br />
Pheasant Restaurant and Beer at the<br />
Package Store, promising them a fair any visit to New England. A clambake<br />
a share in return. Once on the beach, I dates back hundreds of years to when<br />
would tie my canoe to my waist, move the first European settlers learned the<br />
into the ocean a meter or so, and start practice of cooking food in a pit.<br />
dancing the twist. I would Twist the ball<br />
of my foot until I felt a rock-like structure,<br />

This Pride, Mr. Man is pitting the top<br />
streaming services up against one<br />
another to determine which network is<br />
the gayest with the best male nudity.<br />
Their editorial team had the laborious<br />
task of combing through all of the<br />
content on Netflix, Hulu, HBO,<br />
Showtime, and Prime Video to find their<br />
gayest titles. They then went even<br />
further, counting the number of intimate<br />
gay scenes within each title! Results<br />
for “Mr. Man’s Battle of the Streaming<br />
Services” were broken down into four<br />
categories: the series with the Most<br />
Gay Scenes, those with the Most Nude<br />
Scenes, and those with the Most Full<br />
Frontal and the Most Butt Scenes.<br />

Netflix wins the Most Gay Scenes<br />
category.<br />
HBO comes in second place with 128<br />
gay scenes, 17 of which come from<br />
Looking, the HBO series starring<br />
Jonathan Groff and Russell Tovey.<br />
In the Most Nude Scenes category,<br />
Netflix once again dominates but<br />
HBO comes a close second thanks to<br />
Oz, their series about inmates and<br />
correctional officers battling for power<br />
and survival.<br />
The one category HBO leads in “Mr. Man’s<br />
Battle of the Streaming Services” is in Most<br />
Full Frontal Scenes, also, in large part, due<br />
to Oz.<br />
Showtime, the network that introduced<br />
Queer as Folk to the world, ranks as the #3<br />
streaming service in all categories in the<br />
battle. Prime Video and Hulu consistently<br />
rank at the bottom but special recognition<br />
goes to Hulu for scoring big in gay hearts<br />
with its two endearing series, Love Victor<br />
and Normal People.<br />
