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 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…

To those reading this in 2025, I write with a heaviness in my heart and soul that feels both familiar and newly urgent. The past nine years have tested our collective resolve as an LGBTQ+ community in ways many of us feared but dared not fully imagine. With the return of Donald Trump to the…

A few years ago, my husband Rick and I traveled to Budapest, Hungary. It’s a city that’s often romanticized for its stunning architecture, thermal baths, and rich history. And don’t get me wrong—it is beautiful. The Danube River glimmers at night, the Parliament building is a masterpiece, and the ruin bars are as eclectic and…

These two things, pictured in the above photo, seem to set the far right off more than anything else right now. Both are facts. One is rooted in science, the other in history. Both are straightforward in the truths they reveal. So why do these two things bother them so much? Out of all the…

January 29, 2025 Dear Reader, I’ve been struggling to write about anything other than the atrocities unfolding in the world right now. But nothing feels right—not even humor. There’s a part of me that wishes we could rewind to 2015, to a time when the weight of this chaos didn’t hang over us. But we…
