    by Justin Samuels on | No Comments

    Occupy Wall Street has died down. Remnants of it exist in a very disorganized matter. Disgusted by what she saw as ineptitude, Justin Tunney took control of not only the twitter account of occupy wall street, she took control of occupywallst.org. How did Justine manage this? Justine created those accounts in July 2011.

Dr. V was a scientist who claimed to have degrees from MIT and the University of Pennsylvania, she also supposedly worked on several top government jobs. Shortly after Hannan submitted the article, Dr. V committed suicide.

  • Gentrification Has Changed Urban Gay Culture

    by Justin Samuels on | No Comments

    A lot has been talked about gentrification over the years on how it’s
    changed cities. Poor residents got priced out, nice new amenities
    come in, crime goes down, and real estate goes up. Gentrification is
    really the result of various economic forces that occur at global
    levels. Major cities like New York are simply not the working class
    cities that they used to be.

  • The Issue of Ageism in the Porn Industry and Nightclub Exploitation

I decided to interview him for my blog. LeNair Xavier, who bills himself as an anti porn activist, was critical of Lovari’s decision. LeNair accuses porn of being exploitative to gays and says it does considerable psychological damage. That was a distance Lovari disagreed with. So I decided to interview LeNair as well. While I certainly disagree with LeNair on my share of issues, the responses of some Lovari fans on my blog made LeNair’s point.
