Health Care Reform

Friday, June 19th, 2009

The other night Jennifer and I were sitting around the table with our friend Heather. In one of those rambling, free-flow conversations you have over tea, I noticed that the topic kept circling back to health concerns. From reproductive health to weight loss to psychological problems to general aches and pains… easily half of our [...]

Where my allies at?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I’m well aware that the majority of people who read and comment on my blog are gay, but there are also a number of non-LGBT allies who check in regularly. Today’s entry is for you in the second category. I know it’s a bit long as blogs go, but please hear me out. Yesterday on [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

In honor of the Tony Awards two weeks ago and Pride last weekend, this week’s theme is out and proud boys of Broadway. Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 Nick Adams of the soon-to-close Guys and Dolls and the body that threatened to upstage Mario Lopez Gavin Creel, Tony nominated star of Hair and Broadway [...]

Cincinnati Pride Post-Mortem

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Because it’s June, it’s time for some well-meaning person to get some national queer media attention for writing that maybe its time to tone down and tame our Pride celebrations. This year it’s Cord Jefferson, a blogging generation member of the talking head class and rumored heterosexual. He writes: The annual marches ultimately accomplish two [...]

12 for 12

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I remembered this morning that it was the 12th day of the month, so I decided to do the 12 for 12 photo meme. 12 photos to capture my day on the 12th of the month. Originally inspired by Enrico. So, the early part of my day is pretty boring (and not at all pretty [...]

A Vagina Virgin

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Somehow, I’ve managed to avoid seeing Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues thus far in life. But when Barry called the other night and asked if I wanted to go to a preview night for Falcon Theater’s new production, I really couldn’t think of a good reason to say no. So, I trekked across the bridge [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

This week’s game is inspired by Marc (although, he probably wanted me to feature all 3 Jonas bros and I’m a little creeped out by that j/k). Our theme this week is guys you find hot, but so does your tween niece… awkward. Sure they may be legal (or almost legal, or “it depends on [...]
