Gavin Duh: Croatian ghost, London Boy, sassy fashionista. With other Gavins and some Croatian dudes n*de

I wanted to profile Gavin Duh because of his unusual name:

It means ghost or spirit in Croatian and some of the other South Slavic languages (dukh in Russian).  

Left: Croatian guy, n*de on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends

Because his icon on the teen idol site shows him in a BOY t-shirt, which sounds gay.

And because some of the photos show him cavorting with dudes.

Gavin was born in Los Angeles in January 2010, and started modeling at age four, getting photo shoots from brands like Abandon Apparel and Doc Martens Kids.   In 2016, Yahoo Life praises his  "rocking sleek, impeccably tailored suits as well as leather moto jackets and jeans."  In 2018, Business Insider notes that he has gained over 180,000 Instagram with his fashions and "sassy social media posts," and predicts that he will one day "rule the fashion world."

He also began influencing, promoting products and restaurants for his social media followers. In 2025, the Influence Agency named him as #13 of 100 Kid Influencers to Follow (Jett Klyne and Julian Hilliard got the #2 and #3 spots). 

Question #1: Any gay roles?

 Gavin has only one credit on the IMDB: he was nominated for the Best Young Influencer, Male Award at the  Young Artist Awards in 2024.  Singaporean actor Estovan Reizo Cheah won.

Question #2: Any beefcake photos?

Since entering adolescence, Gavin has been working out, as we see in this artistic photo, flexing toward the setting sun.  But he doesn't give us a lot of beefcake shots.

Gemstones Episode 3.4: Wieners, betrayal, a burning a-hole, and Kelvin at his jerkiest. With a Steve Zahn bonus

Link to the n*de photos

Episode 3.3 ended on a positive note, with Kelvin/Keefe, and BJ/Judy reconciled and Jesse/Amber admitting the Montgomery Boys to the family.  In Episode 3.4, the midpoint of the season,  things fall apart, with betrayal after betrayal and two destroyed relationships.

Title: "I Am Come Not to Bring Peace But a Sword." A famous quote from Jesus in Matthew 10:34.  Things are going to get dark. 

Some premium s*x dolls:  Keefe and Taryn are leading a Teen and Parents Together "ice cream and wieners" party.  Keefe has apparently never done any ministry without Kelvin, so he is very nervous.  He is not wearing his "wedding ring," maybe worried that it would out him.

The parents point out that they know very little about Keefe, even though he is a youth minister, in charge of nurturing their children.   Before Keefe has a chance to answer any questions, Biker Clarence, the owner of the store that he bought out drops by to praise him for buying "every last buzzer I had in stock!"   He invites Keefe to check out the new merchandise coming in: "We got some premium s*x dolls!"  Inappropriate, dude! You're in an ice cream shop. Don't you notice the kids around? 

Taryn and Keefe assure the parents that "it's not what you think."  That is, Keefe isn't actually gay, he bought the toys for a project "we did with your kids."  Even worse!  But didn't the parents know about Smut Busters?  You have to get permission slips every time you take the kids off church property.

The boys at the Citadel: Next, Jesse and Amber complain to their teenage son Pontius that he has too many tattoos,  he shouldn't be doing stuff his girlfriend, and he's been rejected by every college he applied to.Come on, lots of colleges have open admission.  Jesse wants to send him to the Citadel, the South Carolina military college.

Sunday mrning: after  "getting ready for church" scenes, the Gemstones and Montgomerys walk down a hallway the Salvation Center. The shots in the trailer caused considerable fan speculation: why do Kelvin and Keefe look so angry?  I still don't know.

Loud and Proud:  We see the beginning of the service, a Christian rock number, with May-May disapproving and Cousin Karl loving it.  Then it's time for the family dinner at Jason's Steakhouse, and a practically endless series of queer codes.  Interesting that the guys start being obviously a couple immediately after the Cousin's Night romantic interlude.

May-May disapproves of her sons' silk suits: too shiny, "like a lady's neglige.  A little loud and proud for me."  In other words, they make the boys look gay.  Jesse yells at her for "talking trash." Implying that someone is gay constitutes "talking trash"? That's homophobic, dude.

Judy defends the boys from the "accusation," saying that they are attractive to women. So you turn gay because you can't find a woman?  Laying on the homophobia, aren't we?

As he listens to his family's homophobic banter, Kelvin looks like he's about to cry.   And Keefe -- that's the look your boyfriend gets at Thanksgiving Dinner, when your parents told you to not "cause a scene" by coming out, and then Uncle Bob starts complaining about "f*gs taking over." Cavalero got it exactly right.

.

Holding Hands under the Table:  Peter Montgomery (Steve Zahn, top photo) enters, announces that he has a new militia compound "on a farm," and invites his sons to join him.  They refuse, so he circles the table, threatening that retribution is coming.  

As he circles, Keefe moves his right hand under the table.  Then Kelvin moves his left hand under the table. These are not random acts:  Boyfriends who are scared (and closeted) would look for reassurance by holding hands.

Their hands stay under the table until Peter threatens Judy, and Eli steps in, telling him to leave or he'll be shot.  Everyone in the family except Gideon, Kelvin, and Keefe pulls out a gun.  A gun expert on the fan board pointed out that only Amber and BJ are holding them properly.  Then Kelvin,  frightened (of his family's guns?), says something indecipherable to Keefe, who moves his hand back to the table top and makes a finger-gun.  Kelvin looks around for a weapon, and brandishes a fork.  His left hand is still under the table, and stays there, holding Keefe, until Peter circles the table again.  

Now the "wedding rings" are fully visible, matching men's silver wedding bands with black diamond inlay (the real thing sells for over $4000),  on the ring finger of Kelvin's left and Keefe's right hand.  

They will be emphasized several times during the season, especially when Kelvin is thinking about or talking about Keefe.  They are symbols of the relationship, which means that the guys exchanged them deliberately.  They have a permanent commitment.  Kelvin can't say that they are lovers, but he can show it.

For a little while, anyway.

It makes my a-hole burn: The backlash to the ice cream-and-wieners party begins when Kelvin finds a letter in the Teen Time suggestion box: "Keefe is weird. I am not comfortable with him around kids." Is "weird" being used as a euphemism for "gay" again?

He yells at Keefe for messing up: "You had one job! It's your only responsibility."  Dude is missing the point entirely.  He should be concerned with defending Keefe's character.

He wants to know what went wrong.  Keefe explains that the  shop owner "outed me in front of the parents."  Well, did Keefe explain that he bought the toys on church business?  He tried, but he couldn't really articulate how buying s*x toys helped the church.  Kelvin gets even more angry; Keefe's inability to handle this incident without outing himself -- and by implication, both of them -- suggests that he is not qualified to be assistant youth pastor.  So, are you going to fire him, or what?

What about the parents' concerns? "This kind of talk makes my a-hole burn."  Keefe responds: "I hate to think that I'm responsible for your a-hole burning."

I have never heard anyone use that expression to mean angry or upset, nor can I find it online.  It's quite likely that Kelvin's real a-hole is burning: remember that he just stopped withholding s*x. 

Rumors Swirling:  At the church food court -- notice the booths for Fancy Nancy's Chicken, Jason's Steakhouse, and "Wok on the Water" --  Kelvin, in virginal white instead of his usual green to emphasize his purity, listens to parental concerns about Keefe.  

"We do not feel safe with the assistant youth pastor. We heard he's a devil worshipper" and "I don't want him influencing our children."  

The most obvious conclusion from the toys debacle would be that Keefe bought them for pedophile grooming, but no one accuses Keefe of child molestation.  You don't say that a pedophile is a bad influence, you say that he is a danger. They think that Keefe is gay.  

This is Kelvin's chance to exonerate Keefe by coming clean: "Buying the  toys was all my idea. I thought it would be a good teen project.  Keefe was just following my orders."  But instead he throws the guy under the bus in order to stay closeted: "I vouch for him.  He is one of my closest personal friends. He is my dude."

"Physical" and "Xanadu," the West Hollywood theme songs

 

When I was living in West Hollywood, every gay bar had its own theme song that it played over and over, several times a night.

Mugi, for Asian men and their admirers: "One Night in Bangkok."

The Faultline, for leathermen and bears: "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"

Mickey's, the twink disco a few blocks from my apartment: "Physical" and "Xanadu" by Olivia Newton-John.

In the 1970s, Olivia Newton-John was known for easy-listening, feelings-drenched songs appealed mostly to girls. "If Not for You" (1971) and  "I Honestly Love You" (1974) didn't specify pronouns, and  "Have You Never Been Mellow?" (1974) wasn't about romance at all, but I still wasn't a fan.

But after the success of Grease (1977), Olivia's music became as sexually liberated as her character.  Her next big hits included: "Totally Hot" (1979), "Physical" (1981), "Make a Move on Me" (1981), and "Heart Attack" (1982).

 "Physical" (1981), has about the same theme as "You're The One that I Want" from Grease, and for that matter, "Show Me" from My Fair Lady (1964): We've done the dinner and movie thing, and now it's time for the next step.

I'm sayin' all the things that I know you'll like

Makin' good conversation

I gotta handle you just right

You know what I mean

I took you to an intimate restaurant

Then to a suggestive movie

There's nothin' left to talk about

Unless it's horizontally 

Of course, in West Hollywood one typically started out horizontal, then started dating if the bedroom activities were satisfactory.

The music video, which played incessantly on MTV in the early 1980s,  responds directly to gay fans.  Olivia plays a personal trainer whipping men into shape, leering at various disembodied, muscular pecs and arms, and semi-n*de men in jockstraps.

The Top 12 Hunks of "School Spirits," living or not. A surprising number have posted d*ck pics.

 

Link to the d*ck pics

School Spirits (2023-) stars Peyton List as Maddie Near, a high school student who suddenly finds herself wandering among the ghosts of other students (and one faculty member) who died at Split River High.  They have more lax rules than the ghosts of Ghosts: they can eat, change clothes, read books, and manipulate objects (although everything resets); but they cannot leave school property, and they cannot communicate with the living.  Except Maddie can.  Her ghost and living friends work together to solve the mystery of her disappearance.  Spoiler alert: She's not really dead.

There's some gay representation, and the beefcake quotient is very high.  Here are the top twelve hunks:

1. Kristian Ventura as Simon, who had an unrequited crush on Maddie, and now can see and talk to her.  He's one of the main suspects in her disappearance.

2. Josh Zuckerman as Mr. Martin, a chemistry teacher who died in a lab explosion in 1968.  He runs an Afterlife Support Group, and gives the students assignments that supposedly will help them move on to the afterlife.  But he has a lot of secrets.

3. Nick Pugliese, top photo and left, as Charley, who died of a peanut allergy in the 1990s, just after a fight with his boyfriend (who is now a teacher at the school, so Maddie asks Simon to arrange an apology). 

4. Miles Elliot as Yuri, who died in the 1970s.  In order to avoid Mr. Martin's activities, he pretended to be cycling (only semi conscious, repeating the same action over and over); but in Season 2 he joins the gang, and starts dating Charley.

5. Zack Calderon (left) as Diego Herrera, the older brother of Maddie's living friend Nicole.
