The recent removal of trans identities from the National Park Service page for the Stonewall monument is a troubling instance of historical revisionism that undermines the contributions of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. These brave trans women of color were pivotal during the June 1969 uprising at the Stonewall Inn, igniting a movement that…

You know, I’ve been thinking about all this hostility toward the LGBTQ+ community lately, and maybe—as painful as it is—it’s a harsh reminder we needed. For years, it felt like we were blending into the mainstream, which isn’t inherently bad, but something started slipping. Remember those iconic queer spaces that used to pulse with life?…

History isn’t just a collection of dusty stories—it’s a battlefield where queer voices have always fought for their right to be heard. Today, in the United States, forces are trying to shove these voices back into the closet: banning books, erasing queer history, and silencing those who dare to remember and resist. Imagine the blazing…

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the American mainstream media is gaslighting you. Hard. And if you’re still getting your news from CNN, Fox, or even Google without a heavy dose of skepticism, you’re being played. Let me walk you through what’s really happening—because the truth isn’t just buried; it’s being bulldozed. Take…

I’ve spent much of my life thinking about silence—not the quiet of a library, but the kind that erases people. Growing up gay in the 1960s meant navigating a world determined to mold me into something I wasn’t. My interests in films like Valley of the Dolls or West Side Story were dismissed as unserious,…

I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be on Facebook. If you want to keep up with me, you can find me on BlueSky, Substack, and my personal blog. It’s only a matter of time before my voice is silenced here, and I know I’m not alone in this. Censorship on Facebook isn’t just happening—it’s…

This a serious question about homophobia. If you are going to hate us at least have a good reason, but first this. In so many ways, our life as a gay married couple is just like any other marriage. We wake up, eat breakfast, and get to work in our office. We take a lunch…

Let’s talk about something that might sound like it’s straight out of a dystopian sci-fi novel, but is rapidly becoming our reality: techno-fascism. The term’s been around for a while, but what does it really mean? And how does it tie into the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in government, with Elon Musk at the…

Forcing Palestinians out of Gaza is not just a simple matter; it’s a grave violation of human rights. When people are pushed out of their homes, it’s essentially a form of ethnic cleansing. This concept involves the mass expulsion or killing of members of a specific ethnic or religious group within a society. It’s a…

Let’s talk about the so-called gay agenda. For decades, this phrase has been weaponized to paint LGBTQ+ lives as some shadowy plot to corrupt society. But peel back the fearmongering, and what’s really there? Grocery lists. Date nights. Arguing over whose turn it is to take out the trash. Sound familiar? That’s because the “gay…
