In today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break, two adolescents deal with one of the hardest things in high school: being gay. The couple's strength is tested when their sexuality is exposed to the entire school. One of them is willing to come out, the other wants to deny everything and keep it a secret. The very validity of their relationship hangs in the balance..
I hope you're enjoying the return of Saturday Morning Coffee Break and take the time to watch these. Most of them are really short and to the point.
So grab you cup of Java, watch and relax.

I posted this German short film on my old blog in 2008 and I thought I'd share it. It's short, humorous, and pretty hot at the same time.
Today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break is about two best friends (supposedly straight), who have a kissing dilemma. The blonde boy is dating a girl whojust finished telling him his best friend (the brunette), kisses better than he does.
So he calls him up and discusses this with him... what ensues is a kiss 41 seconds long!

Today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break is another great film I posted back in 2009 on Peter's Daily Blog. At under 3 minutes, the film is really strong and shows how a short film such as this can still make quite an impact.
I fell in love with it then and still in love with it now.
In the film an old man recalls the moment that defined his life, in which his attraction and friendship with a neighboring boy is crushed by the boy's homophobic father.

What if things were a little "Different" and instead of gays being discriminated against, it were straight people - In our churches, schools, and our daily lives?
Justin has a secretcrush on Joanne, a girl he wants to invite to the prom;Unbeknownst to him, she already has a date with another girl from school (a cover). Meanwhile the quarterback of the football team, Bobby, thinks Justin is playing hard to get. But the fact is, Justin is straight and in the closet. Later, things start to get ugly when Justin gets caught sneaking a kiss from Joanne.
Today's Saturday Morning Coffee Breakwas the winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Student Film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival in 2004. While I usually find myself saying to "enjoy" today's feature - not so sure about this one, but it's one that makes you look at things a little bit "Differently".

Good morning readers, it's time for yet another Saturday Morning Coffee Break so grab your java, sit down and watch this great short movie. The following movie was filmed in 2009 and released in 2010.
For those who have never seen it, here's a short synopsis. And yes, it does have a happy ending.
Who We Are explores the relationship between two best friends who find
themselves struggling to hold onto their friendship while dealing with
the feelings they have for one another. Alex (Taylor Caldwell), an
openly gay high school student, tries to rebuild his relationship with
his best friend Michael (Justin Fix), after revealing to Michael he has
feelings for him. When Michael reluctantly decides to attend a
'Gay-Straight-Alliance' meeting Alex, he reaches a new state of
understanding and level of acceptance for Alex. Michael's parents (John
Patrick Kelly & Kim Reed) battle between accepting what they're
religion suggests, and opening their minds to accepting people for who
they are. The film captures the societal hardships many homosexuals
face and a story of love without boundaries.

If you're waking up on a Saturday morning and I'm on your Facebook news feed, you're probably familiar with my Saturday Morning Coffee Break series. Every weekend I ask my readers to grab a cup of coffee and join me for a short gay film. It can range anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes, or maybe more. Regardless, I try to post films focusing on being in the closet, coming out, falling in love, hate, abuse,
bullying, and/or parenting, but most importantly, videos representing who we are in
some form or another.
In today's issue, we come across a video that was written and posted by YouTube vlogger, Brandon Muller. He and a few of his friends produced an anti-marriage ad that is quite humorous and I had to share it.
In the following Ultimate Anti-Gay Marriage Ad, a couple confronts the horrific consequences of same-sex marriage, while their daughter worries if mommy and daddy will still love her if this sacrilege is allowed.
While it is an advertisement for a cause, it is in essence a short film. Check it out.
So this week I thought I'd pull away from the norm and show a comedic short with gay undertones. Grab your Java, sit back and enjoy this week's Saturday Morning Coffee Break!
Soren and Dan are your quintessential straight best friends whosit down to go over each other's "Bucket List". Unbeknownst to them they learn things about one another they probably wished they'd never known. LOL.
For those who don't know what a bucket list is; It's a list of things you wish to do before you die, hence the idiom "kicked the bucket". Check it out, it's pretty funny.

Iposted this video on MySpacefour years ago, and the issue focuses on two young men, Danny and Mark who have been friends all their lives until one day they find themselves in the awkward position of saying goodbye to one another.
While many may argue that there's already too many films where one guy comes out and destroys a friendship - it still happens. It still happens because our society allows it to happen. Yes, it's getting easier and easier to come out as each year passes, but there are millions who are still keeping this tiny little secret - and some way into their marriages. The film, written and directed by Bill Taylor is really good, and I encourage anyone to watch it.
Today'sSaturday Morning Coffee Breakis quite powerful. After watching the film for the first time I was quite upset, but after watching it a second time I came to understand it's sad reality. I can't remember the amount of times I wish I could find someone to help me. I prayed to God every night hoping he would "fix" me - And never got an answer. I felt ashamed for being who I was and didn't know how to tell my parents. As each year passed the hope never came, and telling my parents became an even harder task. I didn't tell my parents until I was 25 years old, and upon learning the news they were devastated. Not only because I kept this secret for so long, but the fact I went to others thinking it would help me, and all they did was use me for their gratification.
There's a lot I want to say about the short movie you're about to see, but I don't want to spoil it or give a way it's plot. I would like to hear any of your comments and maybe then I can voice my opinion.

I haven't posted a Saturday Morning Coffee Break since June of last year, and since I'm back in gear with my blogging, there's no time like the present to return.
June's issue was a major tear-jerker, because it was a true story. And while this one may be fictional - it happens in real life.
Some of us boys grew up in major cities, small towns, or even a farm. And no matter where we were born, there was always that one little boy who wanted to wear those pink shoes or pink shirt, and when he did - all hell broke loose.
But not this time!
This is a cute short - hope you enjoy.

I cannot imagine ever losing the person I love. I'm sure you can't either. Some of you have lost wives, husbands, partners, parents, siblings, friends, and the emotional impact is unimaginable. While I have lost loved ones, I have never lost someone I was dating or considered my best friend and lover. It's like me losing Ryan today - I'd be devastated beyond belief. It's not something I can prepare myself for. Death comes at the most inconvenient time and there's no stopping that clock.
It's been a while since I've posted a "Saturday Morning Coffee Break", and now that I've come back it's as good as time as any to start. So grab your coffee, sit back, and watch this video, because if you're gay, and in a relationship it could happen to you. Oh and grab a tissue too, it's a tear-jerker.

Today's short film is another great piece of work from Keith Hartman. You may remember him from my blog on February 11th, titled "The License". The film was amazing - if you haven't seen it make sure you check it out.
"The Defenders" in much the same way as "The License" is too close to reality to be funny. It actually sends a highly effective message on the hypocrisy of those who would deny equal rights to men and women who want to get married, no matter who they are. You have to remember, "knee-jerk" reactions are the province of frightened and uninformed people. I believe that any heart can be softened with the right touch, and that we must counter the fear tactics being employed by proponents of those who wish to rob us of our future.
This short, three minute film proves that none of us are immune to discrimination which is often taken to an ugly extreme. We are all the same--gay, straight, bi, parents, children, brothers, sisters, and spouses. Our blood runs red, and our eyes weep tears. We are everyone. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. This is a definite must watch!

I know it's been a few weeks since I posted my first issue, but it's time for your Saturday Morning Coffee Break, and if this video isn't steamy enough for you, there's always Corbin Fisher or BelAmi - this isn't porn, what's wrong with you?!?! LOL.
In the hottest gay short I've posted to date,Al and Fred discover that online hookups can be lots of fun... until somebody gets hurt.
Though brief, this hot, casual-sex encounter stirs up some surprising truths about Internet-dating, love, life... and death.

"Now, did you bring your own rocks or did you need one of ours? There'll be a small service charge for that."
At the end of the short film you're about to see, it asks, "Love, Trust, and Equality, shouldn't these be our traditions?" And that's absolutely true! Seeing the couples at the end of the video made me cry, and I'll tell you why. Because every moment I saw those couples embrace, or kiss, you could see how much they loved each other in the same way I love my dear Ryan. We are all loving people. Why can't love conquer all?
The short film, written and directed by Keith Hartman from Los Angeles, California was filmed shortly after California banned same sex marriage in 2009, and it's a very poignant film. It's about a straight couple who wishes to get married, and find out their relationship isn’t as "traditional" as they thought when they go in to get a marriage license.
You'll enjoy it, I assure you - it's a definite must watch!
