Tomorrow is World AIDS Day and I know it is easy for me to think of AIDS Walk, Magic Johnson, or even an aquaintence from USC that I knew who was HIV+. But just as we in America have come to understand that HIV/AIDS affects more than just gay men, I’m also learning to [...]

Top 25 gay T.V. characters - Brian & Justin
Oh baby… Awesome.
Logo and AfterElton.com have released the poll results of the top 25 gay T.V. characters of all time.
The list is amazing. Really. And they got good diversity, too.
I was ecstatic to see so many of my fav characters on the list, but most absolute favs were right at the top.

As a liberal Christian, I tend to get very archaeological/anthropological when talking about JudeoChristian scriptures, which really allows those who take the Bible literally and with a King James bent to shut me out.

My first hate mail at the office… and a convo
So I got my first piece of hate e-mail at the office a couple of days ago. It was kind of funny in one sense, but terribly serious in another.
“Pastor Billy Ball” is the leader of Faith Baptist Church and “SONSOFTHUNDR” street ministries. Like the near-Charlotte Operation Save America, “SONS OF THUNDR” and Ball’s church [...]

Oh… I was so skinny…
OMG… Look at how skinny I looked then… Sophomore year of college… SpartanTV televised forum with two Republicans, a Democrat (me, the white shirt) and a Libertarian.
There is definitely, at least, a 10 pound difference between me then and me now (I’m blaming it on the Equality Ride, the Right to Marry Campaign and, now, [...]

Gay lives worth less than dogs - Literally
Palm Beach Community College in Florida couldn’t come to a final conclusion on whether to offer health insurance to the domestic partners of LGBT employees. Still today, the same-sex partners of college employees remain without access to much needed health care options.
However… health insurance is available for your pets if you work at Palm Beach [...]

A note…
First of all… Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays! With my new apartment in Charlotte, I’m getting so super excited about decorating for the holiday season and I’m even going to host a little Christmas get-together at my new place. It is going to be great.
To put my site in the spirit, I’ve put up [...]
