I’ve been uncluttering my life lately, tossing stuff into piles labeled “Need”, “Want” and “Discard” — alternately: “Love”, “Like” and “Lose” — and nothing escapes scrutiny. Nothing. Including This. That. No Other. A lot has happened since my last posts and I suppose an apology is in order for the broken promises to update here. I’m sorry. Stuff [...] March 30th, 2010 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Toronto, Vancouver, What Time Is It? |
 21 commentsOh, bygone eras of sublimated male eroticism! Before there was Xtube there was newsgroup photo-sharing and before those there were dirty videos (βeta!) and magazines. And before those there were International Male catalogs and “fitness” magazines and before those there were the swimsuit and underwear sections of Sears and Eaton’s catalogs. And before those there were [...] October 1st, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Green on Thursday, How2, Stupidity, What Time Is It? |
2 commentsOh, hey. I turned “30″ this week. Three days ago, to be exact, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention it (at least in passing). We all mark significant milestones in our lives, and 22 September 1979 was one of the most critical in my development. Not unlike a majority of gay men of my [...] September 25th, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, IntoxiBlogging™, Sexxxy, Want, What Time Is It? |
4 commentsFull disclosure: I can’t stand Tim Hortons and their long line-ups for mediocre coffee and, worse, the smug, anti-elite posturing of their loyal customers. That said… It’s bad enough that bigoted hags like Maggie Gallagher, who heads up the odious National Organization for Marriage, can get any sponsors for their events, but when one of them [...] August 10th, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Ads, Bad Behaviour, Canada v.

16 commentsThere really wasn’t much discussion about it. Though Champ and I never really did The Pride Thing in Toronto — at least, not together, and not for the past few years — we didn’t need to really discuss whether (or not) we were going to take in Vancouver’s festivities . We just knew, y’know? I mean, [...] August 5th, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Gymnauseam, Heroes, IntoxiBlogging™, News for Moms, Religion is Bad, Sarcasm, Stupidity, Toronto, Vancouver |
14 commentsCleve Jones is kind of a hero of mine. You might recall him from the movie Milk; he was the sassy street-hustler-turned-politico played by Emile Hirsch (the real Cleve had a microcameo, too). He’s spent a lifetime working at the forefront and behind the scenes for LGBT equality and HIV/AIDS issues, he conceived the NAMES [...] August 2nd, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, Vancouver |
4 commentsRight about now, people in eastern North America are starting to wend their way toward Lesbian and Gay Pride Day parade routes. Champ and I last night watched the Toronto festivities — on the CITY-TV feed we’ve been curiously able to receive out here on Canada’s west coast — with a mixture of wistful displacement [...] June 28th, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Toronto, Vancouver, What Time Is It? |
 One commentIowa > California, for real. At one time I wanted to live in Los Angeles (and tried very hard to do just that). At another time I wanted to live in San Francisco (and tried very, very hard to do that, too). Now I’m hard-pressed to think about even visiting California. Boycott? You’d better fucking believe it. Hugs [...] May 26th, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Canada v. USA, News for Moms, Stupidity |
9 commentsSo, hey, it’s International Day Against Homophobia 2009 today. IDAH’09! I want to tell you a story about a teenager in Calgary, Alberta. A normal kid, smarter than most, bookish but enthusiastically into politics and culture in all its forms. Like most teenaged young men, he had a healthy (read: voracious) sexual appetite. He had an [...] May 17th, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Duh, News for Moms, Self-Pimping, What Time Is It? |
6 commentsThey’re all gonna laugh at you, Carrie. This Week in Stupidity, after the jump (warning: SFW audio will auto-start)… May 2nd, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, IntoxiBlogging™, Religion is Bad, Sarcasm, Stupidity, WTF? |
4 commentsSo, let’s say you’re walking down the street and you hear Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” blaring from a huge house. And let’s say you’re at a university. Say… the University of Chicago. And let’s say the big house is a frat house. And let’s say that as you walked by this big frat house [...] March 12th, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Green on Thursday, Heroes, Religion is Bad |
5 comments(from Oblique Strategies, “Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas”, by Brian Eno & Peter Schmidt — Third Edition) If I was to submit an Oblique Strategy to Acute Strategies (link above), this week’s would be: The ease and speed with which you discard The Present should give The Future pause Academy Award-winning Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black makes a promise to the lesbian and gay kids of America, while the crustier queers among the millions watching wipe away a tear:
Oh my God. This was, um. This was not an easy film to make. First off, I have to thank Cleve Jones and Anne Kronenberg [...] February 22nd, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, What Time Is It? |
8 commentsGrrr. Bear: “You know, you really shouldn’t be wearing that shirt.” Me: “How’s that?” Bear: “Well, for the simple reason that you’re not a Bear.” Me: “I thought ‘Bear’ was more a state of mind.” Bear: “Well, you’ll confuse people.” Me: “Really. How’s that?” Bear: “Well, you say you’re a Bear and you’re not.” Me: “Actually, my shirt has the word ‘Bear’ [...]
While most of my Toronto contemporaries were making the trek to NYC and getting completely fucked-up for this party or that party, I was intoxicated by a different kind of celebration: ACT-UP, Outweek and Queer Nation. We sat behind Martin Balsam and his wife at Millennium Approaches. He cried as much as I did, [...] February 8th, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, What Time Is It? |
