About 11 years ago, I promised to donate money to the University of Wyoming Rainbow Resource Center every year. I’ve kept my promise – some how donating enough to become worthy of individual attention from the UW Foundation. I don’t personally think that I’ve donated enough to qualify for this kind of attention, but be […] I’m fast approaching the three year mark of walking at least 10,000 steps every day, even on days when I travel and it is otherwise difficult. A small celebration will occur when appropriate. Many of my steps – I dare say close to most – have been accompanied by podcasts. Given that it’s probably […] On June 12, 2020, the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was the site of horrific mass shooting: 49 dead, 53 wounded. While I’ve already mentioned attending a memorial at Brandenburg Tor (Whatchamacallit 89: #BerlinForOrlando #LoveIsLove), this comic book is another reminder of that tragic day. It was also a fundraiser, will all proceeds going to […] I ran across this book somewhere and decided to order it: Felix Ever After This is an amazing book about an FTM teenager attending high school in Brooklyn, exploring themes around love, friendship, transphobia, being rich, no longer being rich, being rejected, and more. It is also one of the best written books that […] 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.

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. Thanks to other writers – namely Dan Savage, but others as well – I am well aware of Larry Kramer. But I only have one book by him, The Tragedy of Today’s Gays. Which is, in many respects, a shame: Larry Kramer is […] The Editors of the Casper Star-Tribune, Wyoming’s most important newspaper, sought letters, asking, “What does Matthew Shepard’s story mean to you?” I felt that I had to write a letter; I have no idea if it will be published. In case it is not published, I put it here, in full, on this, the 20th […] |
