Lisa Gardner’s Touch & Go is somewhat engaging, puzzling and essentially a good fit for a weekend read or a plane trip. The very wealthy Denbe famly – Justin, wife Libby and 15 year old daughter Ashlyn – are kidnapped. The FBI, local law enforcement and private investigator Tessa Leoni race against time to find […]
On daytime television’s Days of Our Lives, two significant characters – Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis – are gay and in-love. Sadly, Will slept with his ex-girlfriend (and step aunt) Gabi and impregnated her. Like the gay men do. Gabi then started to date Nick Fallon, Will’s cousin and recently released convicted murderer. Nick thought […]
Well Rudy Gagliardi of Arnold pulls no punches in his absurd rationalizations for his homophobic views. Re. Melissa Charlton’s letter, “Open our minds to gays” (Jan. 13.), which was critical of my letter, “Gay marriage (Jan. 5): I don’t know why anyone would choose to be gay, a pedophile, a druggie or a prostitute. But […]
I’ve never written a book review before so I consider myself fortunate to have ended up with a pretty engaging mystery novel for my first one. Tomorrow, I will post my review for “Touch & Go” by Lisa Gardner for the Blogher Book Club. From the outside, the Denbe family has it all. They own […]

And I love his description of masculine culture. “Everyone’s been talking to gay people our entire lives […]

I’m fairly certain the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board is not being ironic when it opines: In facing up to its own legacy of bias, the Boy Scouts of America is considering a less than all-American remedy. After years of outside criticism and withdrawn financial support, the organization announced Monday that it might allow individual troops […]
This is just heartbreaking. A gay teenager in La Grande, Oregon died after a suicide attempt that took place in the schoolyard of an elementary school. Fifteen-year-old Jadin Bell hung himself on Saturday, Jan. 19, but according to Portland’s KATU, he was taken off life support on Tuesday. Family and friends said the boy was the target […]
We’ve had a wealth of LGBTQ posts lately – so much is happening, my head spins. From queer bashing to scouts … allies dying, allies alliances being analyzed, Jim Nabors got married at 82 to his partner, and the City seems to be flicking the switch to my website on and off and on again. […]
