Jesus’ Little Warriors
Aug 29th
Extremist Christians are still at it, filling stadiums with tens of thousands of American teens, trying to teach them that the most important things in life are to obey and to “go to war against the terrorists” who are spreading “sex and homosexuality” over the media and the internet in the U.S.

Sometimes it needs a (fictional) TV show to spell out the harsh truth about the state of a political system. Everything said in this clip is based on actual facts and all quotes are real.

5 Years of Milk & Boys!
Aug 25th
2007 seems to be awfully far away. The “Web 2.0”, this atrocity of a buzz word, was just getting started and blogs were ruling the internet, for better and for worse. It was also the time when, in late August, milkboys was started in its current form. While blogs are hardly relevant anymore nowadays, sites like Facebook account for almost all time spent online by the average internet user.
milkboys on the other hand is still kicking after five years, making it one of the longest-serving queer youth blogs around :) And of course there are presents to celebrate this! Milo and Dumbledore, two idols of recent milkboys history, kind as they are, provide you with some photos made for the occasion (click on them!).
And we’ll give away a classic (red) milkboys shirt to a random reader leaving a comment under this post. We’ll get in touch with the winner by mail; bonus points if you post a milk(boys)-related photo of yourself with your comment 
(You can use sites like imgur top host the photo)
We will also, finally, release some updates and new projects many of you were waiting for over the next couple of weeks, so grab some milk & cookies, keep your eyes open and stay fab!
Don’t miss these two on Tumblr! Milo got one here and Dumbledore here!
