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…

I am seeing defeated posts about the upcoming inauguration of the felon, but this isn’t defeat – it’s another battle. Pete is correct; we don’t have the right to give up. The past is looking to us to step up once again and fight. Since the felon (FOTUS) didn’t have the support of the majority…

In these uncertain times, it’s crucial we let scared youth know they have someone to turn to. Simple words can be powerful: ‘You’re safe with me. You can talk freely with me.’ Many young people are frightened by what they’re seeing and hearing. As a gay man who grew up during the Moral Majority era,…
