Queer as Folk for Hillary in Pittsburgh

I think most of you know that I keep specific political views about the candidates to a minimum here on my podcast and blog.  I need to step out of that zone for a minute to discuss one of the most exciting events coming up in Pittsburgh.  Tonight there will be a pub crawl covering [...]

“The Debate” that BLEW me away

Actually, tonight’s debate on CNN was more like who was blowing who off and on.  There wasn’t much of a debate.  The political pundits all were saying that this would be an explosive confrontation between Senators Clinton and Obama. They were, as usual, WRONG.  To me, Hillary presented herself wonderfully.  It’s hard to find any [...]

Were you gay 60 years ago?

Three-score and eighteen days ago on January 5, 1948, the W. B. Saunders Company of Philadelphia published, in association with Indiana University and the Rockefeller Foundation, the pivotal tome Sexual Behavior in the Human Male by Alfred C. Kinsey, Wardell R. Pomeroy, and Clyde E. Martin. I purchased a copy of the eleventh printing [...]

The New Media

Ya know, people placed into superficial groups such as the GLBT group are just not always to get along.  This week on the gay podcasters email list there was a little spat over asking for votes for some stupid web-created award.  Frankly, most awards are stupid, but that’s for another day (unless I get one).  [...]

Homoerotic Depression

We all get sad from time to time.  As some may think, my issues are NOT caused by me being gay.  It just isn’t so.  I had a psychologist once that tried to pin all of my issues to my sexual orientation.  Does that mean that all straight people suffer from depression because they aren’t [...]

Stop That Ringing!

Stop that f’ing ringing! There is nothing more I can’t stand than the Salvation Army bell ringers. For those of you who don’t know, in the United States, we have a tradition where people stand outside of stores with red kettles collecting money for a charity. They ring a damned bell to [...]

Tips for Coming Out

Well, you’ve probably heard me before on the topic, but it’s time to give the official tips on coming out.  I’m not out to scare you or tell you not to come out.  On the other hand, I embrace your decision.  It will be one of the most difficult ones you make in your life.  [...]

I hate the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross says that I cannot give blood. I am not HIV positive. I don’t have any odd communicable diseases. I weigh more than 110 pounds and am less than 95 years old. Why can’t I do my duty and give blood? The answer:

…are [you] a male who has [...]

Giving First, Then Thanks

We have the words mixed up in this high priced society.  During my Thanksgiving meal, my dipshit step-mother-in-law, during grace, prayed for all of those less fortunate and hope they have hot food to eat.  Blah, blah, blah.  Later in the meal, I mentioned that I actually did something to hopefully help people with that.

I [...]

It’s Driving Me Nuts

There is something that’s driving me crazy. For the first time, I am telling everyone what the number one search term for this site is. Can you guess what people are searching for that brings them to me? Is it “gay information”? Is it “Jason Cable”? Is it “GLBT Issues”? [...]
