“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 />

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 />
