  • Whitey Co-Opts the Down Low

    White gay men have started to use the language of the Down Low: (i.e. black men who may be married but have sex with men but think being called ‘gay’ connotes effeminacy, whiteness or weakness) On the first of a few dates, I asked him where he worked—and whether people there knew he was gay. […]

  • Gay Sex in the 1970s

    Add the suffix ‘in New York City’ and you’ll have it. This documentary takes a look at the period from the Stonewall uprising in 1969 to the first cases of AIDS being identified in 1981. If you ever though that New York had become a place with tons of drug-enhanced, anonymous, multiple-partner, public sex on […]

  • Arab Linguist Kicked Out of Army for Doing Community Theatre

    A decorated sergeant and Arabic language specialist was dismissed from the U.S. Army under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, though he says he never told his superiors he was gay and his accuser was never identified. Sounds like a witch-hunt atmosphere to me. On Dec. 2, investigators formally interviewed Copas and asked if he […]

  • Hard Pill

    Finally. A well-acted, well-written, engaging, suspenseful, honest, intelligent and altogether fantastic film. For the gay men and women reading: If you could take a pill that made you straight, would you? Could you turn back years of family friction, workplace tension and social pressure? Would you opt to live a more ‘normal’ life? That is […]

  • Gay Games VII in Chicago Opening Ceremonies

    Much of the Gay Games Opening Ceremonies would have been better left to an banquet.  Especially since the whole thing lasted 4 and a half hours. I think this means there weren’t enough lesbians involed in the planning – they are ALWAYS organized. There were lots of self-congratulatory speeches from many committee members and a […]

  • Tuesday Morneeen

    The power meter on the laptop is a bit wonky. It says I have only 5% left when it had been charging all night while I continued backing my data offsite. It is taking days since I’m fitting 40GB through an FTP connection. But I’ll feel better once it is completed. Ron and I had […]

  • Federal Marriage Amendment Quashes State Laws

    I was right! I was right! The 2006 election is going to come down to either ‘faggots’ or ‘beaners’ – it looks like we’re slouching towards ‘faggots’. But it is getting burnt out as a hot-button issue. But why are ‘they’ bothering with the Marriage Protection Amendment aka No Same-Sex Longterm Fudge-packing Companions Ban? Are […]
