Here’s the last thing I learned in EL that I’m going to share, which is really more a “remembered” than a “learned”: the families we make are powerful and important. I’ve spent a week with Matt and Trav, and while I knew, deep down, that they were important to me as people (and as students [...]

Here’s the second thing I’ve learned/remembered in East Lansing: I miss having gay friends. Facebook is wonderful for what it is, and I adore my friends and colleagues to pieces, but I sooo miss having gay friends to hang out with, to chat with, to camp with, to laugh and have fun with.
When I was [...]

I have to admit that I tend to enjoy feeling myself a study in contrasts. I like to think that I enjoy an eclectic set of things.  Once, in college, a friend riding in the car with me was looking at my CD collection as we tried to pick out something to play — I [...]

Last night, Michelle, Anna, and I joined Wendy and Brent, and dearest darlingest Susan (plus pigeon Sam) at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, NC, to see the Indigo Girls. We set up our chairs under some trees at the outdoor event, and I for one enjoyed the whole night. Lots of stuff from the [...]

I have been on such a Melissa kick lately! Wow … I think she’s one of the best at the rock ballad, and my favorite is “You Can Sleep While I Drive”

I scare-quote “cooking” because, well, I’m not sure you could really [...]

While I was in Atlanta recently, part of a twice-yearly pilgrimage to a better land of tremendous food, good books, and fun people — but mostly just to get away and get some writing done — I took advantage of being so near to OutWrite and Brushstrokes to grab five or six of the new [...]

Looks like DC has recognized same-sex marriages from other states and Vermont overturned their wretched, homophobic governor to recognize same-sex marriage.  Good day for marriage, good day for America!

Michael Savage is a douche, without the refreshing clean feeling after.  Just sayin’! But if he thinks that we’re seeing the “victory for perversion”, then I say, “Congrats, Perversion! I always knew you could do it!”  Viva la perversion!

I was terribly impressed with the speech this young man gave to the Vermont Senate as it debated the issue of same-sex marriage. So glad that Vermont made the right decision; now let’s hope their House follows suit and marriage becomes a law in Vermont!
