Ending the Year on a Heavy Note
As the years progress, I’m finding it increasingly hard to maintain my inner (and outer) “wolf” — and stave off “bear” — especially when the formerly-acceptable descriptive “musclebear” starts to look like delusional wishful thinking on the part of most who wield the term. Nonetheless, it’s refreshing to see that some big, hairy homos are [...]

Green on Thursday #14
John Barrowman:

“Drogas” — literally, “drugs” — apparently softens the profanity on Brazilian cable movie channels. But [...]

With that in mind, we present two Toronto [...]
The Biggest Jesus I Ever Saw
So, naturally, at some point on our trip to Rio de Janeiro, Champ and I had to play turistas and dress up in our khaki shorts, polo shirts, sneakers with unfashionable ankle-length socks, baseball caps and backpacks (okay, just me) and visit the Giant Jesus at Corcovado, high above the city. Brazil, it seems, takes [...]
