When Daniel, a 20-year-old young man in Georgia, came out to his family he captured it on his phone. In a truly horrifying twist, he ended being assaulted by his Stepmother while his Grandmother cheered her on. They used the Bible to justify every insult, every smack, every putdown. Warning. This is really hard to […]
This scene is pretty powerful if you deconstruct how much artifice has defined Bev’s life. It is very sad.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there’s been a Bisexuality Awareness (or Bi Pride) Day since 1999. Then immediately chagrined that I hadn’t known that. You are likely familiar with the ongoing dialogue around identity and language – affectionately dubbed “the alphabet soup” debate. Is it LGBT, GLBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQI, etc? In the midst […]

UPDATE: Bobbie mentioned that Lucas lives in Seattle, hoped he’d settle down with a nice young man and scene cuts to Felix. Booyah! ****************************************************************** It is pretty clear that I am both a daytime television fan and a true believe that these shows break ground with LGBTQ characters. One of the most hotly discussed topics […]
St. Patrick’s Day edition. First, let me wish my younger brother Jim a happy birthday. He’s 41 – 17 months younger than me. In my head he’s still 8. LOL. One of most significant stories this past week involved a conversation about how we prevent rape. Gun proponents argue that women need guns to shoot […]
Journalist Anderson Cooper confirms that he is gay in a thoughtful letter to blogger Andrew Sullivan. I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too […]
