COVER STORY

Celebrating With Us BY

RICHARD HACK

There were 379 corporations across America that urged the Supreme Court to strike down state bans on gay marriage. The friends of the court brief carried the unified message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employers are better served by a uniform marriage rule that gives equal dignity to employee relationships. Allowing same-sex couples to marry improves employee morale and productivity, reduces uncertainty, and removes the wasteful administrative burdens imposed by the current disparity of state law treatment.â&#x20AC;? It is our honor to publish the complete list here, and encourage our readers to do business with these firms who have continuously showed support for equality in marriage and in the workplace. 8

Love Wins!

Social Media Floods with Rainbows as Corporate America Shows Its Support BY

RICHARD HACK

Social media was flooded with rainbows as companies and corporation took to Twitter to hashtag their support of the recent Supreme Court rulling in favor of same-sex marriage. American Airlines led the way posting a planeful of rainbow colored monitors at 10:15 am, just 8 minutes after the ruling was made public in Washington, DC. Whether sentimental or clever, corporations small and large leapt to show their support, demonstrating just how far the nation has evolved in its courtship of LGBT business. American Airlines: “We’re on board. Diversity strengthens us all & today we celebrate #MarriageEquality & the landmark #SCOTUS decision.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook is: “Today marks a victory for equality, perseverance and love.” Twitter Open: “This is a monumental day for equal rights. Join the celebration by using the new Twitter emoji #Pride and #LoveWins” 12

Crisis Text Line Helps Teens On Their Own Turf by Jameer

baptiste

Today in our world, society is centered on technology and our youth are at the frontline with gadget operation and technique – it’s a new era when tweens (age 9-12) are teaching you a thing or two about how to maneuver through your phone. Crisis Text Line (CTL) is an ingenious concept that takes advantage of our youths’ love for texting to provide teens in need of help a vital lifeline. The organization provides confidential emotional support, information and referrals 24/7. Whether a teen just needs to talk or is in a dangerous situation, they can reach a Crisis Text Line counselor in moments by texting their question or concern. It's free and simple to use, just punch in the first row of digits on your cellphone keypad from bottom to top twice (741741) to reach the organization. Counselors are highly trained volunteers who go through a rigorous 34-hour training program that includes video lessons, readings, role-plays and feedback and eight hours of on-platform observation. There are experienced supervisors who oversee the crisis counselor volunteers and handle all high level texts. And there are expert crisis center partners. The CEO and Founder of the organiza-

tion, Nancy Lublin, created Crisis Text Line after receiving a disturbing text while she was the CEO of DoSomething.org, a non-profit organization that encourages and provides resources to youth so they can take action in social change. “The worst message we ever got was a text from a girl who said she was being raped by her father,” Lublin explained to ABC's Good Morning America co-host Jim Axelrod. “And it was when we got that text message, everything changed.” DoSomething.org did what they could at the time and for two days they sent back a number of a rape crisis center in her area – the organization never heard back from the girl. Knowing that it wasn’t enough, Lublin was determined to do more. CTL launched in 2013 in only two cities, and within four months with zero marketing, they were in every American area code. Now with an international launch. “Everyday at lunch time, we see a little spike. People are texting us from the cafeteria,” Lublin said on ABC’s Good Morning America. “You don’t have to wait until you get home,” said Axelrod. To date, Crisis Text Line has received over 6.7 million texts and expects to receive 100,000 messages a day by years end. theguymag

BARTENDER OF THE WEEK

Shane Boucher, Fresh Out Of The Gate At B. bar & Grille BY JAMEER

BAPTISTE

There couldn’t be a more diverse, well-traveled and humbled guy than Shane Boucher. At first sight, he looks like a bad boy because of his head to toe tattoos, and attraction to fitted caps. But in this day and age, it’s never wise to work from stereotypes because looks can be very deceiving, as in the case for Boucher. Beyond his perceived bad boy image, is a strikingly handsome gentleman who happens to have one of the most intriguing life stories in Wilton Manors. At the mature age of 41 (with the looks of a man in his prime), Boucher has ventured to highly sought out world destinations and reinvented his life along the way. You could say traveling is ingrained in Boucher’s DNA. It’s been a common occurrence throughout his whole life. Boucher was born in Maine, but quickly relocated multiple times in his youth – Boston, Long Island, Las Vegas, just to name a few.

“My brother and I were always moving around as kids like every two years,” Boucher recalled. “It was because of my mother’s job.” It was never an issue for him. With his gregarious personality and optimistic outlook, he always adapted quickly. In fact, he grew fond of relocating and he really didn’t mind being the new kid on the block. “How fun is it to see all these different parts of the country,” Boucher mentioned. In his junior year of high school, Boucher was in Las Vegas. By the time he graduated, he was back in Maine with his folks, who divorced when he was 12 and remarried the day after his graduation. Boucher eventually made his way back to Las Vegas and by age 24, he helped to open and managed the Fendi Flagship store at Caesars Palace. From there, he was back on the move where he spent sometime in New Orleans and Manchester, England. theguymag

Shane Boucher's Favorite Drink

This special drink is Shane Boucher’s favorite. He say’s "I love playing with flavors and cocktails.” "I’m always experimenting." "I want to start doing specialty drinks with varations of lots of different elements.”

Blueberry Kamikaze “I tweaked it with a secret recipe.” Original recipe: ½ oz Blueberry Smirnoff Twist Vodka ½ oz DeKuyper Triple Sec 1 Splash of Rose’s Lime Juice Combine all ingredients into a shaker, filled with ice. The shake until chilled, then pour into shot glass.

“Make your own path, and wherever it leads you make the best of it,” Boucher recommended. “I remember every trip, every road.” Boucher also traveled from coast to coast on six different occasions taking different routes each time. By the age of 27, Boucher landed in Santa Monica, California where he attended the Art Institute. Thereafter, he found himself in LA for 12 years working in video game design and film and TV production, which afforded him opportunities to travel to Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately, his parents fell ill so he moved back to Maine for a little over five years to nurse them back to good health. “I would do anything for my parents,” Boucher proclaimed. On July 4, 2013, Boucher moved to Florida, one of the states leading tattoo destination, to pursue his fascination in the art of tattooing as an apprentice at Salvation Tattoo Lounge in Miami share with us on guymag.net

TRAVEL

Atlanta, Georgia: The Southern Yet Not Too Southern Urban City BY JAMEER BAPTISTE

Atlanta, Georgia has always been a unique southern territory with not-so-traditional southern values, which makes it a great travel destination for the LGBT community. It is common knowledge that the Bible Belt states are made up of socially conservative evangelical Protestants that generally frown upon the gay community. Therefore, to experience the traditions and culture of the Deep South, our community has to, for the most part, step back into the closet. Such is not the case in Atlanta where the LGBT community has thrived with multiple gay established businesses and events since the 1970s. Atlanta is a cosmopolitan city, an urban melting pot of different races and nationalities. The diverse multi-cultural elements combine to enrich the city’s cuisine, music and art scene. Atlanta has a longstanding love for the performing arts. Each discipline has a resident company in the city: Atlanta Opera (2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway, Atlanta GA 30339; 770-916-2800), Atlanta Ballet (1695 Marietta Boulevard NW, Atlanta GA 30318; 404-873-5811), Atlanta

Symphony Orchestra (1280 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-733-4900) and Alliance Theater (1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-733-4650). The city’s artistic culture also includes museums like the High Museum of Arts (1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-733-4400) and the Museum of Design Atlanta (1315 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-979-6455). Both are leading and oneof-a-kind museums in the Southeast. These two museums and a majority of Atlanta’s art scene can be found in Midtown, Atlanta’s well-known art district. Besides being an Atlanta hub for cultural attractions, Midtown is also known to be one of Georgia’s extremely gay-friendly destinations – the first Atlanta gay pride back in 1971 was held in Midtown from Peachtree Road to Piedmont Park. And still till this day both Atlanta Pride (October 10-11, 2015) and Atlanta Black Pride Weekend (September 2–7, 2015) festivals are held there. Due to the battles of the Civil War, a lot of the theguymag

guymagtube

historical antebellum architecture of Atlanta was destroyed. To witness Atlanta’s yesteryear architecture, one can visit the historic districts--Fox Theatre Historic District and Historic Midtown. There, sightseers can get a glimpse of bungalows and Queen Anne style homes as well as tour historical buildings like the Fox Theatre (660 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308; 404-881-2100). The gay-friendly Hotel Indigo (683 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta GA; 866-246-3446), once housed the former Cox-Carlton Hotel and also was once an apartment building. It is an historical brick building located in the Fox Theatre Historic District. Post-Civil War, the city has been rebuilt into one of America’s first urban post-modernist towns with little regard to historical preservation. Today, Atlanta is lined with sleek contemporary, modern and postmodern designs with noticeable skyscrapers like the five-star Four Seasons Atlanta Hotel (75 14 Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30309; 404-881-9898).

Atlanta’s gay nightlife is just as comforting and delicious as its food. Located in the vicinity of Stonehurst Place Bed and Breakfast are some of Atlanta’s well-known gay bars and nightclubs. One of the city’s longstanding exotic clubs is the original Swinging Richards (1400 Northside Drive NW, Atlanta GA 30318; 404-352-0532), an all-male nude strip club for gay men and their friends. Some Florida residents might be familiar with the name as there is a second location in Pompano Beach, Florida. Blake’s on the Park (227 10th Street NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-892-5786) is a neighborhood hotspot where you can mingle with Atlanta’s gay eligible bachelors and hangout with local celebrity drag queens; plus, they serve food daily. For a fabulous night filled with drag performances, drinks and dinner head to Burkhart’s Pub (1492 Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-872-4403). Burkhart Pub is open every evening and as they say, “Everything Happens Here.”

To luxuriate in old-world charm stay at the gay owned bed and breakfast Stonehurst Place (923 Piedmont Avenue NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-8810722). The six rooms and suites eco-friendly B&B offers an inside look into an 1896 National Register historic mansion with up-to-date features and amenities. The B&B is located near many gay nightlife venues as well as marvelous restaurants. They even have a Gourmet Getaway with $100 gift card to four nearby restaurants as an add-on during booking. Stop in at 4th & Swift (621 North Avenue NE, Atlanta GA 30308; 678-904-0160) for chef Jay Swift’s interpretation on new American modern comfort food. Try an all day Southern Breakfast at Chick-a-Biddy (264 19 Street NW, Atlanta GA 30363; 404-588-1888), a farm fresh chicken establishment that serves lunch and dinner and brunch on the weekends. For some quick home-cooked Southern food, visit the landmark full-service café Highland Bakery (1180 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-835-3130), established in 1931. share with us on guymag.net

At Bulldog’s Bar (893 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta GA 30309; 404-872-3025), guests can party the night away to a mix of hip-hop and house music while sipping on their potent drinks – the bartenders are known to be generous when it comes to pouring cocktails, so remember to return the favor when it comes to their tips. If you are interested in an adult playground with nothing but hot, attractive urban men, swing by Zone Amsterdam (1900 Piedmont Road NE, Atlanta GA 30324; 404-913-9663). Word of caution: Zone Amsterdam are exclusive parties, which occasionally have body type requirements. Georgia has come a long way from being one of the original Confederate States to secede from the union during the Civil War back in 1861. Today, you can find little to no trace of the southern mentality in its capital Atlanta. Even the southern dialect has pretty much vanished from the city. And although there is much progress that still needs to be made in the advancement of LGBT laws in the state, our community continues to thrive and enjoy the destination. theguymag

Broken Celebrity by Jacquis Rambeau transforms the everyday Plain Jane sunglasses into marvelous wearable art. “They’re not for the faint of hearts,” said Rambeau. “It takes a special person to rock them.” Rambeau designs his embellished avantgarde eyewear for those who are haute couture risk takers that don’t have any boundaries when it comes to fashion. Men and women who don’t care what others think, but yet love to know that all eyes are on them when they walk into room. Most of the sunglasses are unisex. “I don’t think of them as an accessory,” mentioned Rambeau. “I think of them as art.” Rambeau’s handcrafted designs are oneof-a-kind statement pieces of wearable art. Each collection is a well thought out process that starts out with glass frames that catch his attention. He constructs the unique pieces from there by picking up on artistic elements and everyday visual experiences like childhood Legos or studded crosses as his inspiration. It typically takes Rambeau six months to produce a collection. Within that time, he is trying new things and sometimes even starting over again in order to perfect each piece to guarantee quality and most importantly fabulousness. Rambeau keeps

Rambeau, a Miami resident, got his start from his two friends and mentors Yusef Williams and Janeiro Ratcliffe who showed him the intricate techniques of embellishing and distressing garments. In 2002, he went to work for artistic wardrobe creator and celebrity stylish, Joey Rolon who owns Funky Sexy Studios. Rambeau started Broken Celebrity in August of 2010.

DINING

Back To The Past: American Coffee Shop by Tim

y golf buddies turned me on to this place. They stop here on weekends to get breakfast (before kicking my butt at golf). After watching their Facebook posts and listening to them say how much they like this place, I decided to give it a try. It is a simple little diner featuring American and Spanish fare. They tout the “Best home fries in Florida.” The diner is located in the plaza on the northeast corner of Prospect and Andrews, with plenty of parking. This is a place to go for a totally casual and relaxed breakfast or lunch – no frills – just good food and a pleasant time. The restaurant is cloaked with murals, paintings and pictures of Americana. Behind the traditional soda seat counter is a huge American eagle flying over the Grand Canyon. On the back wall is one of my favorites – Mount Rushmore. There is a framed American flag right under the TV. In speaking with owner / operator Nelson, he loves history!!! The diner just celebrated its third year anniversary in April. Family owned and operated, you can expect to be engaged by Nelson with some pleasant (but not intrusive or overbearing) conversation and banter. They pride themselves on showing attention to each and every customer. As I sat in my booth reading the paper and enjoying my breakfast, I noticed the customers that strolled in were very comfortable – all greeted by Nelson as they came through the door. I got the feeling there is a rather regular clientele that frequents the diner. The menu is very full – one side for breakfast and one side for lunch. It offers both American and Spanish dishes. There are eggs, griddle offerings, omelets and

share with us on guymag.net

HarT

breakfast sandwiches. For lunch, there are burgers, melts and sandwiches (both hot and cold). There is also the traditional Spanish fare – steak, chicken and pork dishes all served with white rice, black beans and plantains. While I was there, Nelson was frying up some breakfast empanadas and some delicious looking pancakes. All of the offerings are homemade. On my most recent visit I was greeted, given a menu and my drink order was taken. The coffee is just fine (and attention is paid to make sure you never see the bottom of the cup). I ordered the Mushroom, Swiss and American Cheese Omelet ($6). It comes with the “best home fries in Florida” and toast. I upgraded to a bagel. The food is prepared and presented with care and pride. I don’t really expect a lot in the way of presentation from the diner, so I was pleasantly surprised. On an earlier visit, I had the #7 – 2 Pancakes or French Toast (I had the French toast), with Two Eggs and Bacon ($7). Very good! Nelson came to America when he was 14 and attended Fort Lauderdale high school. After working for years at La Bamba, he had a dream of opening a restaurant. When the opportunity presented itself, he jumped at it. He is so proud of this place and I was heartwarmed to see the enthusiasm he exhibits. As he said to me “America – the land of opportunity.” If you are in the area. I encourage you to give the American Coffee Shop an opportunity.

Me, Earl and the Dying Girl (Courtesy of sundance.org)

or those seeking thought provoking relief from the bombast that is inherent with the summer movie season, check out Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Fox Searchlight). Recipient of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at 2015’s Sundance Film Festival, this comedy/ tearjerker is easily a contender for best film of the year, as well as Oscar recognition. Like last year’s well-received film adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars, based on the Y/A novel by John Green, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is also based on a Y/A novel about teens and cancer. Jesse Andrews, the author of that novel, also wrote the screenplay. The film is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, making it his second full-length feature. Greg (Thomas Mann), the film’s narrator and the “me” in the title, is a “terminally awkward” high school senior who makes an effort not to stand out in the “nations” of his high school. He avoids the chaos of the cafeteria, choosing instead to eat lunch in the office of tatted history teacher Mr. McCarthy (Jon Bernthal) with classmate Earl (RJ Cyler). Greg likes to think of Earl, whom he’s known since kindergarten, less as his best friend than his co-worker. You see,

Greg and Earl, both film fanatics, have been making their own film parodies of classic cinema since they were kids. Greg’s life, and by extension Earl’s, changes forever when his parents (played by Connie Britton and Nick Offerman) come into the inner sanctum of his bedroom to tell him that classmate Rachel (Olivia Cooke) has been diagnosed with leukemia. Even though Greg and Rachel travel in different “nations” at school, Greg agrees to his mother’s request to visit with her. As the teens get to know each other better, each one lets their guard down and they discover that there is potential for them to become friends. There are a number of ingredients that make Me and Earl and the Dying Girl special and a definite high point in the genre. Andrews’ screenplay is snappy without being snarky, making the audience laugh and cry, often doing both at the same time. To GomezRejon’s credit, the movie is pleasing to look at, incorporating a variety of visual elements, from stop-action animation to visual art (wait until you see the book sculptures and the movie posters). As for the acting, there’s not a false moment in any performance, from the leads to the supporting cast. As Rachel’s theguymag

erhaps the single greatest tragedy of 21st century music (sorry Whitney), the short life and early death of Amy Winehouse (who died at 27 in 2011) is presented in Asif Kapadia’s informative and heartbreaking doc Amy (A24). A singular vocalist and songwriter, with a rapier wit and a sense of humor that belied her youth, Winehouse’s star ascended, blazed brightly and ultimately fizzled out too soon. Kapadia’s access to and use of rare archival footage provides astonishing insight into the inner workings of Winehouse’s life and creative process. This aspect alone makes the doc riveting. The camera loved Amy (especially when she was sober) and she knew how to play to it. Listening to her talking about how her own personal experiences became inspiration for her songs (you may never listen to “Stronger Than Me” or “Rehab” the same way again) and her love and respect for her musical influences is profound. Amy is also rich with interview subjects. Among those having their say about Winehouse are Amy’s childhood pals Juliette Ashby

and Lauren Gilbert, her divorced parents Janis Winehouse and Mitchell Winehouse, collaborators Tony Bennett, Yasiin Bey, Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson, band member Sam Beste and professional handlers Nick Shymansky, Raye Cosbert, Andrew Morris, Lucian Grainge and Guy Moot, as well as the single most corrupting influence in her life, Amy’s ex-husband, ne’er do well Blake Fielder who brought crack cocaine and heroin into her already chaotic life. share with us on guymag.net

umblecore meets Mazursky in Patrick Brice’s Duplass brothersproduced modern sex romp The Overnight (The Orchard). Workaholic Emily (Taylor Schilling) and stay-athome dad Alex (Adam Scott), L.A. transplants from Seattle, make new friends with jackof-all-trades Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and his French wife Charlotte (Judith Godrèche), when their respective young sons, RJ (R.J. Hermes) and Max (Max Moritt), hit it off on the playground. Arriving for dinner with a bottle of TwoBuck Chuck in hand, Alex is intimidated by Kurt and Charlotte’s home. This turns out to be the first of the evening’s demoralizations for poor, under-endowed Alex. Before and after dinner activities include a tour of the house

(whose remodeling is credited to Kurt), the art studio (where Kurt, again, creates his intimate paintings), and tucking the kids in as Kurt soothes them to sleep with a lullaby. There is also more drinking, as well as pot-smoking, dancing and skinny-dipping in the pool. Of course, it’s free-spirited Kurt and Charlotte who initiate the nude-swim, and why wouldn’t they? Charlotte’s bosoms are their own prosperous cottage industry for fetishists who purchase her breast-pumping DVDs. Kurt is entirely at ease with his own body and he should be as he is quite well-hung. Alex, on the other hand, is hung like a mosquito. Warning: prosthetic penises in use. As it turns out, Kurt is more of a jack-offall-trades, as is Charlotte. But the dick-doubles are probably enough of a pseudo-spoiler for one review. Let’s just say, that while there is almost a happy ending (pun intended), The Overnight is as funny as it is shocking and sexy, and not a bad way to spend 80 minutes of your day (or night). theguymag

Your Most Important Muscle: Your Heart

by Tom

bonanTi

n Saturday, March 29th, my friend Craig suffered a heart attack. While this was a devastating time for both of us, I am happy to report that he has almost completely recovered with little residual damage to his cardiovascular system. Craig has his age and overall good health on his side, but he is genetically predisposed to heart problems from both sides of his family. With the help of a great cardiologist, an effective round of medications and a proactive graded exercise program, (designed and supervised by me!), I know that Craig will continue to recover successfully. As a fitness professional, this experience has made me more aware that good health is more than just attending to surface things. Bulging biceps are wonderful, but there are other issues that require attention. Getting regular checkups, managing stress effectively, and a heart healthy lifestyle are core matters that are vital to a long, healthy life. With the awareness that the heart is the most important muscle of the human body, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to offer some suggestions that we all should follow before we require meds, a cardiologist or a team of specialists from the cardiac care unit. Get active and make regular exercise a part of your daily routine. Doing aerobic exercise for your cardiovascular system two to three times per week for 30 minutes is a great place to start. Weight training is also essential for maintaining lean muscles, flexibility and overall physical strength. Hik-

ing, swimming, bowling, and cycling, are all ways to build cardiovascular health as well as quality muscle. If all this sounds too overwhelming, then take baby-steps. Use the stairs at work, make time to stretch and breathe between appointments, walk the dog after dinner. Do not skip regular physical checkups. Find a physician who has the time to talk with you and explain things clearly. Keep in mind certain vital statistics like your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body fat percentage, BMI and BMR. Knowledge is power. Make nutrition into a daily project. Begin the day with a substantial breakfast of whole grains, fruits, quality protein and low-fat dairy. Eat regularly throughout the day, low-salt, smaller meals and snacks every two hours to keep up your strength and prevent your body from storing fat. Speaking of fat, cut your intake to less than 30% of your daily caloric intake. Rather than coffee and soda, remember to drink more water. Drinking green or black tea promotes arterial health and combats pesky free radicals that age you. Remember that smoking will kill you. Too much booze, (except for a daily glass of red wine) means extra, empty calories that will be stored as fat around your middle. Simplify and enhance your life. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never eliminate stress, so learn to deal with it! Keep positive, supportive people around you. Gracefully eliminate those who drag you down. Practicing Yoga will make you more flexible and clear your mind of noisy clutter. The same effects can be obtained by doing guided meditation, listening to music, or sharing quality time with friends or pets. Volunteering at a shelter. Give some time to hospice. Adopt a pet, they are great companions and help lower blood pressure. You see, there are a million ways you can calm your spirit and take care of that precious muscle called your heart.
