This is one of my few pieces of jewelry, another bracelet. I used to wear this Men’s Silver Satyr Torc Bracelet frequently – it weighs less than the previously shown Navajo Turquoise Bracelet, which makes it more manageable on a day-to-day basis. The bracelet was made by Esculpta, a jewelry company based in Greece. […] 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 […] Gosh, it was four years ago today that I met friends at Brandenburg Tor to remember the victims of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting. The above heart was given to me by somebody in the crowd during the gathering to wear – I’ve kept it ever since. I don’t know why. Maybe I do: […] 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.

Which is, in many respects, a shame: Larry Kramer is […] I realize that I am a difficult person to buy presents for – I have a quirky sense of humor that is hard to define and understand. The above is a present that one person got right: my baking is gay tea-towel. It’s utterly ridiculous, yet perfect. Rather than actually using it, I’ve hung […] This piece of art could sit in two places – my bedroom or my kitchen. I chose my kitchen. This was a wonderful present from a dear friend, an amazing piece of fabric art capturing both my love of coffee (well in the past; I quit drinking coffee in November 2018 – save for […] This is a first day cover of a stamp honoring Alan Turing, cancelled at the Bletchley Park Post Office. This is on my mostly gay wall of art in my bedroom. Strangely, I do not remember exactly how I acquired it, but it was likely shortly after issue in 2012, which was his centenary […] Gosh. It’s hard to believe that another year has passed. It seems like just yesterday I was reflecting on 20 years since Matthew Shepard died; now it is 21.
