I'm ready for my close-up, Monsieur De Mille

File this one under "who woulda thunk it?" folks:

My blog and I were mentioned in the April 2011 issue of France's "premiere magazine for gays and lesbians," Têtu!

Here's the blurb (sorry it's a bit blurry):


In case you don't understand French, here's the text of the article translated into English (courtesy of my Francophonic ex-boyfriend):

"Bryan Ochalla is an American gay journalist who says he is frustrated to not be able to write about video games. He has already created a blog and group on Facebook to share his passion. With a flashy pink background, the blog is mainly dedicated to gay-friendly video games, retro-gaming and sexy heroes. Bryan even offers a 'gaymathon' to rank his favorite games. A must for all gaymers."

Oh, and "le coin du gaymer" is French for "the corner of the gaymer."

  4. Ha ha! Very funny, Marcus :) Those French guys better watch out, though, because I don't think my husband wants to share me (nor do I want to be shared)!

  6. Thanks, Sean! I was pretty shocked when I found out about it (through the French journalism student who recently contacted me about an article he's working on). At first, I thought it was a mistake, but then I saw the scan :)

  8. Thanks, Justin! Oh, I am proud -- or at least happy. Granted, the writer could have just Googled "gay gamer" or "gay gaming" and came across my blog, but who cares? I'll take it :)
