Jim Koury is a seeker of personal truth, and desires to empower oth- ers to find their own personal truth, whatever it may be. He is also an ac vist who is not afraid to speak his mind, and ruffle some feath- ers, if necessary. His main objec ve is to get people to think and think for themselves. He espouses Aristotle's mantra, "It is the mark of an educated mind to en- tertain a thought without accep ng it." Jim does not force his views on others but just puts them out there for folks to think about and discard if they wish. Welcome to the May 2022 issue of Diversity Rules Magazine. We are barreling toward summer, finally. This guy's favorite season. Bring on the heat, baby! This month's feature is a lighthearted one and one that takes us away from all the nonsense of the world for a bit. Everyone's favorite Hey Qween host Jonny McGovern and his bes e, GoGo veteran and Only Fans top earner Greg McKeon are on the hunt for America's next champion GoGo superstar star in OUTtv's hilarious new compe on series, GOGO FOR THE GOLD. "The queer community has spent the last decade celebra ng the queens on Drag Race, but the other stars of the gay club are the GoGo boys," says McGovern. "They, too, serve the looks with tons of personality and style and they never hold back on the drama. We're crowning America's #1 champion GoGo superstar star … and the compe on will be fierce!" GOGO FOR THE GOLD co-creators McGovern and McKeon have assembled a diverse cast of GoGos that encompass a wide range of body types from tradi onal masculine hunks to thick 'n juicy bears, smooth twinks, and even femme dancers who serve it up in heels. One of the contestants is a trans man. All are compe ng for a $10k cash prize. To win, they must undergo a series of challenges that comprise the many facets of being a champion GoGo. Being a skillful dancer is pivotal, of course, but GoGo boys are also influencers, fashion models, and night- life representa ves. As contestants on GOGO FOR THE GOLD, their journey will be packed with humor, drama c twists, and tongue-in-cheek fun. There may even be some tears shed along the way. I hope you enjoy the feature and check out GoGo For the Gold when it happens! This month's issue also contains some other great informa on and content. As usual, the regular con- tributors are back; Tony Guadagnino, Diane Lang, Joey Amato, and Stu Schwartz. Their work and will- ingness to contribute to Diversity Rules are much ap- preciated. Without dedicated individuals like them, our world would be a bit less pleasant. As always, if any readers wish to contribute material or content they think would be of interest, please feel free to do so. It is the diversity of content with differ- ent perspec ves that keep Diversity Rules fresh, and our outlook on life a bit clearer. We are in very trying mes. We all need to be a bit more empathe c toward our fellow humans and be much more pa ent with the stresses of life that im- pede our consciousness. It is a crazy world out there, and we must try out best to not make it any more dif- ficult for those around us who may be struggling and grasping for some help and comfort. Be the comfort you seek in others, as the saying goes. Ok, well, that's about it for now. Time marches on, and I hope you make the best of the me you have. It is only good for one go through ... in this par cular Earthly manifesta on, anyway. Peace out. See you in June. My Two Cents A Message From The Editor James R.
