I bought this Gay Tarot deck in June 2017 for 21.49€. I no longer remember the context, but I do recall that I had been watching an interview of some kind and the guest had brought Gay Tarot cards with him as an example of a ridiculous product. At least that’s how I remember […] Back during the 1997-98 academic year at the University of Wyoming, I did something brave and, for Wyoming, cutting edge: I took Safe Zone training. I tried to do it on the sly, but outside the conference room I remember that I ran into a friend and somehow had to explain what I was […] Latter Days is a film and – as above – a novelization of a film. As a book, it is meh – it covers the story of the film, but this is a case where the film is absolutely outstanding. As a film, it grows better and better with time – at least for […] The above image was a present from dear friends who found it for sale at the Lesbian and Gay Street Festival in Berlin during the summer of 2018. They bought it directly from the artist, who had a booth at the festival. I saw the booth a grabbed a postcard from the artist, which […] I woke Thursday morning to the news that Larry Kramer died.

We talked about a number of things – including the coming out process and what it was like to come out (whether to ourselves or to others) at Indiana University in the late 1990s. But the thing […] Sorry about my blog silence, but life’s been super busy at work. In addition, my free time has been super packed with activities, to the point that whenever I’ve had down time, typically I’ve taken naps, read books, or otherwise vegged out. That said, I did squeeze in four movies in February, all of which […] For 18 years, October’s cooler weather and shorter days is a reminder that the anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s murder is fast approaching. It’s somewhat daunting to pause and reflect – how much I’ve changed. How much America and the world has changed. And how much has not changed at all. I want what I write […]
It was déjà vu: For a second time in my life, I heard the edge of a breaking news story and I instantly knew that the rest of the story was going to be painful. This time it was that there had been another mass shooting, this time at a nightclub in Orlando. That […] |
