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. 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.

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 […] Last weekend I was in Chicago, where I caught up with one of my early gay IU friends. 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 […] |
