When I started setting up my around the world trip, exactly how I was going to get from New Zealand back to Europe was a bit unclear. After doing some […] Wow, another year has rolled around. This doesn’t feel as raw as it did the first time, but I still go back through the memories of everything I felt that week, when I was in Bloomington, Indiana, and all the attention was on Laramie, Wyoming. With distance – both in terms of time (16 years […] It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since I left the University of Wyoming for points east – and ultimately Germany. Two months after moving to Bloomington, Laramie was in the news. From the luxury of my home in Berlin, I can still think back to how I felt those 1998 October days […] I just finished reading Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising a Fabulous, Gender Creative Son, by Lori Duron.

Wanting to hit up both parades meant that I had to choose strategically and that I never made it to the end party for the […] I neither got around to reviewing the second Eurovision semi-finals, nor to discussing the Eurovision Finals – badAdam. I have a good excuse: I was exhausted and any free time I had this weekend, I was asleep. Friday’s super early alarm (4:30, after 5 hours of sleep) in combination with a late evening (home past […] Last Thursday was IDAHO – The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. It was also the day that my American Friend arrived, and so I gave him a walking tour of Berlin, covering all the most important spots — and as we walked past the American Embassy, we spotted the Rainbow-Pride Flag Toga […] |
