So what was your most enduring memory of Pride 2008?

About three hours after this photo was taken last Sunday, I’d packed Champ off home and was still feeling a little… partyish. Heading out the door to the gaybourhood, I passed the photo location outside the Co$ and where there were once parade-cheering multitudes there were [...]

Extra-Special “Trouble Week”, Casual-Disregard-for-Common-Courtesy Edition!
At the Gym:
A: Hey, B, have you met Jason? Jason, this is B.
Jason: Nice to meet you.
B: Yes, we’ve met. About a dozen times, I figure. At least.
Jason: Oh, really? When?
B: Well, the first time was when I was working for the Department of Justice and you came in with a [...]

Sometimes I think we’re our own worst enemies. By “we” I mean homos and by “worst enemies” I mean “happy Pride Week, jerkasses.”
So it’s like this. Leven and I often talk on the phone about the liberating experience of peeling off your shirt in environments which have, traditionally, been entirely appropriate for the partial or [...]

Best. Breakup. Ever.:
While watching MuchMusic, lounging on the bed, 1998…
B: So, listen…
G: Yeah?
B: I was wondering… Are we still boyfriends?
G: I dunno. D’ya want to be?
B: Y’know… I don’t think so. Do you?
G: Not really.
B: Okay.
G: Cool.
B: So…
G: Yeah?
B: What do you want to watch now?

“Omifuckingod, Jason, I can’t believe we wore the same outfits to the party!”
“No worries, Justin, I’ve got sunglasses. We look totally different, Bro.”

Bad Gay

Chances are slim-to-nonexistent that you’ll read about me strolling down the aisle any time in the foreseeable future — I’d much rather enjoy living in sin than pursue the legal benefits of wedded bliss with my Gay Male Lover for now, thanks — but I’d have to be annoyingly, knee-jerkingly contrarian to oppose it for [...]

Over lunch at Eaton Centre:
B: So I created a FaceBook account just so… well, I have no time to do actual FaceBooking, but I wanted to at least establish a presence there and be able to look at other people’s profiles.
K: You haven’t had a FaceBook account until now?
B: I know, right? Anyway, I made [...]

My favourite is when Cooper calls Dipshit on the ludicrous notion that homos getting hitched somehow threatens heterosexual marriages and the response is, predictably, that heterosexual marriage numbers are down. Ludicrously — but, again, predictably — the causal link is not in any way supported by facts. Dan “Awesome!” Savage blocks the move by actually [...]

So, here’s a couple of upcoming events for ya.
The World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases in the early ’90s. <Insert eye-roll at the WHO’s foot-dragging here.> May 17th was thus designated as International Day Against Homophobia and this year’s campaign focuses on healthcare workers and professionals:

I dunno about the poster, [...]
