ELECTRIC<br />

<strong>GAY</strong> YOUTH<br />

Joey Mills Presents His New<br />

Novel at NYC’s Strand Bookstore<br />

“Electric Soul” is a coming-of-age novel<br />

that chronicles Helix Studios model<br />

Joey Mills before he was famous.<br />

Written by former middle school<br />

teacher Taylor Saracen, the YA book<br />

tells the tale of a reckless, brazen and<br />

unapologetically outspoken young Mills,<br />

who—for reasons he can’t explain—<br />

chooses to hide a key part of his true<br />

self from the world. It is a journey in self-discovery, as well as an<br />

unconventionally heartwarming story of the relationship between a<br />

troubled teen and his mother.<br />

“Electric Soul” releases to select bookstores, Amazon and most<br />

e-book retailers worldwide on <strong>February</strong> 21. Mills and author Taylor are<br />

currently on a nationwide book tour to promote “Electric Soul.” The<br />

tour stops at Strand Bookstore in NYC on <strong>February</strong> 25. We spoke with<br />

Mills from his LA home.<br />

INTERVIEW<br />

How does it feel to be the subject<br />

of a book?<br />

It’s a weird feeling, something I definitely<br />

never thought I would get to experience or<br />

accomplish. I’m excited to share it, but it<br />

does make me feel vulnerable, because it<br />

touches on raw subjects that people don’t<br />

know about me.<br />

You’re 20 years old! Isn’t that a little<br />

young for a story about your life?<br />

I’ve lived a lot of life in my 20 years! When<br />

you read the book, you’ll see what I mean.<br />

Physically, I feel like I’m 30 or 40. Mentally<br />

I’m, like, 10, because I still have yet to get<br />

my shit together.


“Electric Soul” is a view<br />

at teenage life that isn’t<br />

necessarily what parents<br />

or educators want to<br />

believe is true in America<br />

today.<br />

Exactly, and it’s important<br />

for people to understand<br />

that this is a real story<br />

from the point of view of<br />

a real kid growing up in<br />

Midwest America. I think<br />

many people may have a<br />

preconceived idea of who<br />

Joey Mills is based on<br />

the movies they’ve seen,<br />

but I hope they will dive<br />

into this book without<br />

judgement.<br />

The book is listed as<br />

a YA novel. Is it really<br />

appropriate for gay<br />

youth to read?<br />

Yes. I learn from the<br />

mistakes I make in the<br />

novel. It doesn’t lead<br />

readers to follow in<br />

my footsteps; it simply<br />

touches on the struggles<br />

most teenagers deal with.<br />

I think it will help a lot of<br />

people.<br />

Why did you struggle<br />

with telling people about<br />

your sexuality?<br />

I think most young people<br />

struggle with it. I came<br />

from a really small town,<br />

and I expected it to be way<br />

more homophobic. Luckily,<br />

it wasn’t what I’d expected<br />

at all.<br />

How did your<br />

relationship with your<br />

mom impact your<br />

coming-out process?<br />

It definitely helped,<br />

because she told me<br />

beforehand that she<br />

wouldn’t care if I was gay.<br />

I had to do it on my own<br />

time, though.<br />

How would you<br />

describe that mom/<br />

son relationship, and<br />

what contributed to<br />

it?<br />

At the time the novel<br />

takes place, we were<br />

very close, but it was<br />

more love/hate. I think<br />

that’s how it is for most<br />

teenagers. I was always<br />

a mama’s boy. I still am.<br />

How did your early<br />

experiences lead to a<br />

career in adult film?<br />

I am a huge fan of more<br />

money for less work.<br />

[laughs] It seemed like<br />

a good fit for my goals.<br />

What are your biggest<br />

regrets from youth?<br />

I regret fucking<br />

everything up in high<br />

school. It would have<br />

changed my life for the<br />

better if I had taken<br />

it more seriously. Or<br />

maybe it wouldn’t have.<br />

It would be interesting<br />

to know.<br />

What are you most<br />

proud of today?<br />

I made it out of my<br />

hometown. That was<br />

an accomplishment.<br />

I still visit and love it,<br />

but I’m happy to have<br />

expanded my horizons.<br />

I’m proud to say I live<br />

a life that many people<br />

could only dream of.<br />

What advice would<br />

you give your young<br />

self today?<br />

Save money. Don’t buy<br />

that red piece of shit<br />

car. And most of all,<br />

don’t do drugs before<br />

heading off to school. It<br />

never ends well.<br />

“ELECTRIC SOUL” BY TAYLOR SARACEN WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SELECT BOOKSTORES,<br />

AMAZON AND MOST E-BOOK RETAILERS WORLDWIDE ON FEBRUARY 21, THROUGH <strong>13</strong><br />

RED MEDIA. MEET JOEY MILLS AND TAYLOR SARACEN IN PERSON AT STRAND<br />

BOOKSTORE (828 BROADWAY, NYC) ON FEBRUARY 25 FROM 7 TO 8:30 P.M.


THOMAS<br />

TALKS<br />

ABOUT: VALENTINE’S<br />

Americans drop almost<br />

$20 billion a year on<br />

Valentine’s Day. This<br />

includes 180 million<br />

cards, 224 million roses<br />

and 58 million pounds<br />

of chocolate. What this<br />

doesn’t include is the<br />

price of the emotional<br />

pain and stress of<br />

Valentine’s Day. For<br />

many, suddenly the city<br />

that never sleeps can<br />

feel lonely, isolating and<br />

leave you thinking that<br />

everyone else is happier<br />

than you.<br />

I hate Valentine’s Day.<br />

Point f*ing blank,<br />

hate it. I’ve never<br />

been in a relationship,<br />

and I’m so tired of<br />

people shoving it in<br />

my face every f*ing<br />

year. What’s even<br />

more irritating is that<br />

my friends who are<br />

in relationships act<br />

like they’re perfect<br />

for 24 hours with all<br />

their social media<br />

posts. I’m like, “Hello!<br />

You’ve been cheating<br />

on him for the past<br />

six months.” Ugh, it’s<br />

such BS, and I’m tired<br />

of it. Look, I know that<br />

I’m a little bitter, and<br />

I’d prefer not to be,<br />

but the day just gets<br />

to me. I can already<br />

feel myself getting<br />

annoyed. - Male, Gay,<br />

26<br />

Yeah, you’re more than<br />

just a little bitter, but<br />

you can make it easier<br />

on yourself. First, if<br />

the social media posts<br />

bother you, just don’t<br />

look. For all of the<br />

14th, and probably the<br />

15th, just don’t go on.<br />

Second, part of the<br />

reason you’re irritated is<br />

that you’re jealous you<br />

don’t have an outing<br />

to look forward to for<br />

that day/night. You<br />

can change that. Talk<br />

to your friends that are<br />

also single and plan a<br />

fun activity. One year for<br />

V-day, I had a “F* Love”<br />

party for all my friends,<br />

and it was awesome.<br />

It gave me something<br />

to look forward to and<br />

amazing people to party<br />

with. On the flip side,<br />

my crush showed up<br />

and interpreted it as I<br />

didn’t want a boyfriend,<br />

so maybe avoid inviting<br />

someone like that.<br />

Right now I’m casually<br />

dating two guys. One<br />

of them I made plans<br />

DAY<br />

with for<br />

Valentine’s Day; he<br />

asked me first. Then<br />

the other guy asked<br />

me, so I told him that<br />

I already have plans.<br />

I didn’t want to lie to<br />

him, so I think I made<br />

the right call. He said<br />

he’s fine with that, but<br />

now he’s being really<br />

passive aggressive,<br />

and the other night<br />

he told me he’s mad<br />

because he didn’t<br />

think I was seeing<br />

anyone else. That’s<br />

something we’ve<br />

never discussed, and<br />

now I feel like a jerk.<br />

Did I do something<br />

wrong? - Male, Gay, 23<br />

Dating more than one<br />

person can be pretty<br />

tricky, but there’s<br />

nothing wrong with it.<br />

I like that you were up<br />

front with him and didn’t<br />

lie. He may not have<br />

liked your response,<br />

but you were honest<br />

and should get some<br />

points for that. It’s clear<br />

this second guy likes<br />

you, but it’s also telling<br />

in how he handled the<br />

conflict. If you want to<br />

continue seeing him,<br />

I’d suggest you ask him<br />

to celebrate Valentine’s<br />

Day with you on a<br />

different day. But also<br />

be aware, it sounds like<br />

he wants something<br />

more than casual.<br />

stories / GET OUT! MAGAZINE >> GETOUTMAG.COM<br />

BY IAN-MICHAEL BERGERON<br />

@ianmichaelinwonderland<br />

Last summer, my friends Jack and Kate planned<br />

a weekend getaway to a cabin upstate.<br />

We took two cars: Kate and her cousin in one,<br />

Jack, his boyfriend Stirling, my boyfriend James<br />

and me in the other.<br />

I packed all new outfits in my olive green<br />

Michael Kors weekender (I needed new clothes,<br />

since we’d be spending the weekend hiking<br />

and grilling, and I didn’t think it would make<br />

sense to do that in Valentino), as well<br />

as a small bottle of portable lube.<br />

The second we pulled our<br />

Zipcar into the driveway, I<br />

started scoping out where I<br />

wanted to sneak away for<br />

a romance-novel-worthy<br />

sexcapade after everyone<br />

else had fallen asleep. My<br />

first inclination was outside:<br />

perhaps in the wooded area<br />

near the front? No, it wasn’t<br />

quite wooded enough;<br />

anybody driving by would<br />

definitely see us plowing<br />

each other. <strong>Out</strong> back, near<br />

the shed? The location was<br />

guarded, but the greenery<br />

grew several feet tall<br />

back there, and I wasn’t<br />

convinced we wouldn’t get<br />

poison ivy. (Can you even<br />

imagine poison ivy… down<br />

there? Horrifying.)<br />

When everyone finally<br />

called it a night, I realized<br />

that our bedroom was going<br />

to be our best bet. I made<br />

sure to pick our room first, the<br />

room furthest away from the<br />

others. “I’m so excited for this<br />

weekend,” I said, removing my<br />

Puma tank top as seductively as I<br />

could.<br />

“Yeah? I didn’t even know you liked<br />

doing outdoor things,” James said,<br />

jumping into bed.<br />

“Well, I mean. Not really. But, I like<br />

spending time with you…” I walked<br />

over to the bed. “Alone.” I dropped my<br />

athletic short-shorts, revealing my entirely<br />

impractical mesh briefs.<br />

“<strong>Get</strong> over here.” I got<br />

into bed and got on<br />

top of him, kissing him,<br />

carefully maneuvering<br />

myself between his legs<br />

to subtly suggest “I’m the<br />

one topping tonight.” He<br />

opened his legs and let me,<br />

and I kissed him harder.<br />

Once all of our clothes<br />

were off, I reached for<br />

the portable lube. It really<br />

was exciting: There’s<br />

something so refreshing<br />

about being in an unfamiliar<br />

environment, about being<br />

away from home. It was<br />

new; it was passionate.<br />

At one point, I put<br />

my arms under him<br />

and picked him up,<br />

holding him while I<br />

fucked him. When<br />

my arms got<br />

tired, I moved<br />

to put him back<br />

down on the<br />

bed—losing<br />

my grip and<br />

dropping<br />

him. His<br />

T<br />

R<br />

U<br />

S<br />

T<br />

F<br />

A<br />

L<br />

L<br />

head landed against the<br />

wall with a loud THUD<br />

that I’m sure woke the<br />

whole house, as well as<br />

several of the creatures<br />

hanging out in the<br />

poison ivy outside.<br />

“Fuck!” I whispered,<br />

reaching around to<br />

cradle his head. “I am<br />

SO sorry.”<br />

“It’s OK, it’s OK,” he said.<br />

“Keep going.”<br />

“Are you sure?” I asked. He<br />

nodded, so I did, and the<br />

thought that my boyfriend<br />

might have a concussion<br />

definitely bought me another 10<br />

minutes or so.<br />

We didn’t get poison ivy, but he did<br />

have a bump on the back of his head<br />

for the next week, and he hasn’t let<br />

me pick him up again since.<br />

WORLD PRIDE<br />

CELEBRATION<br />

IN NEW YORK<br />

Bringing Two<br />

International<br />

Parties<br />

Together for<br />

New York<br />

WorldPride<br />

The Melrose Ballroom on June 28<br />

and 29 will be the scene of two<br />

mega Pride parties celebrating New<br />

York WorldPride: The Frisky Party<br />

on the 28th and the Yummy Party<br />

on the 29th, honoring diversity,<br />

equality, freedom and love.<br />

They will feature some of the<br />

biggest international DJs/producers<br />

known to man, including DJ Hector<br />

Fonseca, DJ Suri, DJ Ana and<br />

DJ Felipe Lira. Each has played<br />

worldwide festivals, WorldPrides and<br />

the most massive circuit parties on<br />

the planet. Special guests include<br />

Brazilian “The Voice” finalist Nikki<br />

Valentine and “American Idol’s” Ada<br />

Vox.<br />

And that’s not all! Be ready for two<br />

more DJs to be announced soon,<br />

along with an event director.<br />

The Melrose Ballroom is a huge<br />

and beautiful venue located only<br />

15 minutes from Manhattan. These<br />

two parties will give the millions of<br />

people visiting New York WorldPride<br />

the opportunity to visit even more<br />

party events than usual during Pride<br />

Fest.<br />

I spoke to JC Events, which hopes<br />

to create an entirely new party<br />

experience, one that remains in the<br />

minds of those who attend forever.


How is this party going to<br />

celebrate WorldPride? Where<br />

and when will it take place?<br />

This is a two-night event,<br />

correct?<br />

Yes, this will be a two-night<br />

event! We will be celebrating<br />

WorldPride by premiering two<br />

amazing and inclusive parties:<br />

Frisky Party on June 28 and<br />

Yummy Party on June 29 at the<br />

beautiful Melrose Ballroom. It’s<br />

very easy to get there and only<br />

15 minutes from Manhattan<br />

across the 59th Street Bridge.<br />

There are going to be lots<br />

of parties going on. What is<br />

different about yours that will<br />

entice people to come?<br />

For sure, there are going to be<br />

lots of parties, which we believe<br />

is a good thing considering that<br />

lots of people will be coming<br />

to New York as well. So now<br />

they will have more options<br />

to celebrate Pride. We are<br />

focusing on creating a whole new<br />

experience to remain in people’s<br />

memories. Our incredible DJ<br />

lineup and performers are<br />

preparing something very special,<br />

so you can’t miss it. Last but<br />

not least, Melrose Ballroom is a<br />

beautiful venue with advanced<br />

technology for an incredible<br />

celebration.<br />

What inspired you to have this<br />

party?<br />

WorldPride was our inspiration to<br />

create FRISKY and YUMMY. We<br />

believe our LGBTQ community<br />

has been through many battles:<br />

fighting for equality, diversity and<br />

freedom. We have conquered so<br />

much, so now is the time to show<br />

the world our victory. FRISKY<br />

and YUMMY more than just<br />

parties; they are celebrations for<br />

everyone.


What will you bring to the<br />

party to make it the best<br />

party ever?<br />

Energy, love, passion, vibes, great<br />

music, DJs, performers and a<br />

new atmosphere that will surprise<br />

those who attend. Also We are<br />

grateful to our promotional<br />

partners Tmpl Gym, Aroma Brazil<br />

Restaurant, Addictive and Hilton<br />

Garden Hotel whose advertising<br />

and marketing assistance has<br />

had a significant impact on our<br />

success.<br />

What does WorldPride<br />

mean to you?<br />

WorldPride means happiness,<br />

freedom, a global opportunity<br />

to get together and celebrate<br />

our movement, because Pride<br />

should be a reason to be united,<br />

not divided. Where there is<br />

unity, victory is forever. It’s time<br />

to be united, not divided. Let’s<br />

celebrate diversity, equality,<br />

freedom and love.<br />

Where can tickets be bought?<br />

Tickets are on sale now and<br />
