Hey! Look at the happy baby! This is me with my grandmother and grandfather:
I was, what, five or six months old? The photos were taken in my parents’ flat in the Silver Heights Apartments in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That chair my grandfather is sitting in? Is seven feet from me right now, in my living room. [...] January 29th, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Heroes, News for Moms, What Time Is It? |

“…all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.” The man gives good speech, that’s for damn sure. History. Hope. And without giving us even an hour to grow cynical and jaded, within moments of President Obama’s swearing-in, WhiteHouse.gov posted this [...] January 20th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, Pimping4Pals, War on Science, What Time Is It? |
11 commentsPatrick McGoohan (1928-2009) Sometimes celebrity deaths hit you in ways you’d never have anticipated. John Lennon was one, from long ago, as was — more recently — Paul Newman, both of whose work I admired greatly but in neither of whom I was overly invested. And, after yesterday, add Patrick McGoohan to that list. I remember [...] I mean, apart from bigoted motherfuckers like Ken Starr and the bigoted motherfuckers who supported Prop 8 who, not satisfied with merely preventing gay and lesbian couples to celebrate the institution of marriage enjoyed by every other American, want to actually make null and void the completely legal marriages of over 18,000 Californians? And bigoted motherfuckers [...] December 29th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Heroes, Religion is Bad, Stupidity, WTF? |
4 commentsCocteau Twins have been in heavy rotation on my iPod lately, and I couldn’t quite figure out why that is. Of course, the obvious reason is that their albums are lush, sweeping, gorgeous documents of a certain time and place, not just for me but, well… everyone who’s a fan seems to possess a similar, [...] December 28th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Heroes, Pimping4Pals, What Time Is It? |
12 commentsMan shoots talker at movies, police say: (CNN) – A man angry that a family was talking during a movie threw popcorn at the son and then shot the father in the arm, according to police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. James Joseph Cialella was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges. James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with [...] I fucking hate this season. People in general — and people in Toronto, in particular — have all of their Asshole Dials (Stupidity, Laziness, Ineptitude, Meanness and Selfishness) set at “11″ and the shitty weather — in Toronto, at least — only makes it worse. I fucking hate it. I’ve been so fortunate that in the [...] Sure, it’s supposed to be Day Without a Gay but, for a variety of reasons — some of which I discussed here — I was at my exceedingly gay job at my exceedingly gay employer until I cut out to be exceedinly gay with my exceedingly gay boyfriend. We’re drinking exceedingly gay eggnoggs right now, [...] December 10th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, Heroes, Religion is Bad, Stupidity, War on Science, What Time Is It?, WTF? |
14 commentsDue to this week’s illness, I’m a little late to the party, but not too late to comment on the rising furor over Marc Shaiman and a star-studded cast of pals’ clever and funny “Prop 8: The Musical”:
With lightning speed, the incredibly Village Peopley-looking “Dr.” Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission issued the [...] December 5th, 2008 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, Heroes, Religion is Bad, Stupidity, War on Science, WTF? |
8 commentsHarvey Milk, 1978 Thirty years ago today, Dan White, a former member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, emptied a handgun into Mayor George Moscone. White calmly left Moscone’s office, reloaded his weapon, walked to the Supervisors’ offices and pulled former colleague (and rival) Harvey Milk aside with a “Harvey, can I see you a minute?” A [...] November 27th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Celebrities, Heroes, Religion is Bad, War on Science |

Following the spectacular success of the worldwide demos last weekend, in which hundreds of thousands of lesbians and gays and their friends and families protested the passing of California’s Proposition 8 (and three other antigay measures in other states), the folks at Join the Impact now propose that on December 10th we all call in [...] November 22nd, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, News for Moms, Religion is Bad, War on Science, What Time Is It? |
8 commentsLast night on CNN, one of my heroes — and probably my greatest influence to get into journalism almost 20 years ago — Michelangelo Signorile calmly and succinctly tore apart the increasingly shrill, delusional and bullying of same-sex marriage-opposer Maggie Gallagher:
Maggie apparently doesn’t take kindly to the names of Prop 8′s financial supporters — [...] November 16th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, Heroes, Religion is Bad, Stupidity |
8 commentsOMG, you guys, I love Joe.My.God.! He’s, like… totally! Those of us old enough to remember — and those of us still alive to remember — ACT-UP and Queer Nation (and, before geezers like me, Stonewall) have long wondered when the latest generation of queer kids will have their big moment of anger and solidarity. If our early-’90s [...] November 7th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Heroes, How2, Pimping4Pals, What Time Is It? |
3 commentsMuch will be written about the 2008 election, how it laid bare the ugly desperation of the GOP and how nearly half of America is, apparently, still fatally poisoned by three Rs: religion, racism and, for lack of a better word, retardation. But today… celebrate. Celebrate the best thing to happen to American — and international [...] November 5th, 2008 | Categories: Awesome, Bliss, Canada v.

2 commentsDear America, This fucking election is almost over. And history is about to be made. But only if you vote and only if you vote to reject, soundly, the policies which have tarnished America’s international reputation, the Rovian politics which have created the most divided America I’ve seen during my lifetime and the military-industrial greed which [...] November 4th, 2008 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bliss, Canada v.
