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…

His followers are celebrating while he has rescinded Biden Executive Order 14087 of October 14, 2022. This order lowered prescription drug costs for Americans, and its removal will harm many of his followers who need it. They will realize the impact once they feel the effects. His followers rely more heavily on government programs to…

Someone who gives the Nazi salute has no business near our government. Today the Executive Orders were about attacking your neighbors and hating others. Not one of those orders was about the price of fucking eggs. But let me tell you what just some his orders were about. Trump has already used executive orders to…

You know, it’s funny how so many folks were caught off guard by the election results. Personally, yeah, I was let down, no doubt about it. But shocked? Not really. I mean, as a gay man pushing sixty, I’ve pretty much seen it all when it comes to human behavior. Living as a gay man,…
