Suzanne Somers Passes, When Gay Was treated as a Joke in Three's Company
First, RIP Suzanne Somers. She was a tremendous actress, comedian, and business women with a long successful career. And she did it all on her own.
Through no fault of her own, in 1977 she starred in a sitcom called Three's Company where one member in the cast pretended to be "homosexual" so he could live with 3 straight women and share the rent. This sort of thing was common back then. And when he played gay on the sitcom h...

Trans People in Red States Fear for Next Generation
I'm not totally sure how this will turn out. If history repeats itself the next generation of trans people should have it easier than this generation. That's how it has worked with gay people in the past. People like Tony and I have it much easier than many of our older gay friends.
With that said, Trans people in this generation are still worried about how the next generation will have it because things are so vicious and hateful out there for...

Thanks to Expanding Encampments Denver Gay Bar Closing
I used to live in a quiet little gay friendly town called New Hope, PA. We lived there for 30 years. We had gay bars, gay shops, and tourists came from anywhere between New York and Philadelphia for day trips and long weekends.
And then we moved to Palm Springs, CA and discovered encampments. Encampments are where unhoused people take up residence and we have them all over Palm Springs. We live in a gated community so we don't have much of i...

Shendo has avoided all questions about whether or not accusations about his opponent surfaced while he was landing this job at University of Colorado.
In 2008 Shendo went after Ben Ray Lujan claim...

I Truly Love This: What is 2SLGBTQI+ ? Ryan Field Books,
I Truly Love This: What is 2SLGBTQI+ ?
First of all, here's what 2SLGBTQI+ means. It is an acronym for Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning and additional sexual orientations and gender identities.
From what I can gather, it's a term that helps kids share their identities. Or they don't have to choose an identifier or label at all. There is no pressure here; only information.
At least that's according to the website I'm linking to right now. They talk about sexual ...

Pope on Gay Couples Being Blessed in Vatican Reversal
Apparently, the Pope has been challenged by Cardinals with regard to LGBTQ issues.
On Monday the Pope published a letter about blessings on gay unions. As usual, the Pope believes that these blessings can be studied as long as they do not mix with the sacrament of marriage. And millions of Catholic gay couples around the world said, "blah, blah, blah."
You can read more here. It's just more of the same from this Pope who is famous for his mix...
