Formerly Closeted Mark Foster Speaks Candidly
TV personality, Mark Foster, was in the closet for many years before he came out, and now he's speaking up about what it was like. I find reading these stories almost cathartic at times.
“I think they were trying to say that I’m gay and I was cruising… They said lots of things, but they didn’t say anything, as in, he was getting out of the car for two minutes, he went in, then came out, or he didn’t even get out of the car.They did say that there’s...

The Masterpiece Cakeshop Case
History is being made this week, and I have no idea how this one will turn out. If you recall, this is about the bakery that refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple based on religious reasons. It's interesting to me because we're celebrating an anniversary this week and back when we first met a gay wedding cake for a real legal gay wedding in the 1990s was unheard of.

Over the years I've had a few Christmas/Holiday books and stories published. I don't do them often because they have such short shelf lives. But here's a list of what I've done so far. I hope I haven't left anything out.
And, my most recent release, Altered Parts, does have a Christmas scene that's significant to the story line. It's just not a book I would consider an outright Christmas R...

You Could Lose These Internet Rights
I've been working on the Internet since the late 90s and I've seen a lot happen. But nothing that's ever been this scary.
Net neutrality–or the idea that the internet should be free and open–is circling the drain. The FCC is planning to repeal the 2015 law that banned blocking, throttling, or fast-laning web content. But what, exactly, are the implications of doing so?
Here's one thing that could change.

New Selfie For Profile
One of the things I think I despise most about social media are the endless selfies. I'm not talking about someone who posts a selfie once in a while. I like those. I'm talking about the people who post more selfies of themselves in one day on social media than most normal people take in a lifetime.
In the same respect, we all want to know what we look like. It's human nature, clearly. My author friend Jon Michaelsen recently posted pics of himself growing a beard and I l...

Loose ID Publishing Closes
A friend pointed this out to me on Facebook and figured I'd share. Although I never worked with this publisher, I've always heard good positive things about them.
All things, it's said, must come to an end. For Loose Id, that time has come. Rather than risk the reputation and good will that we have worked very hard to build, on May 7, 2018, we'll be closing our doors for good. We want to thank all of our authors, artists, editors, employees, customers and friends for...

Sky Penis Follow Up
Here's the follow up to the sky penis story I posed about a while back.
The two Navy aviators responsible for scrawling a massive sky penis above Okanogan County, Washington, on Nov. 16 have officially been punished by naval aviation chief Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, according to documents obtained by the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Here's more. They won't lose their careers. I'm glad the punishment was more lenient. These guys work hard for our country....

World AIDS Day: Huge Drop In Those Diagnosed With HIV In Europe
This is good to see, especially today, which is World AIDS Day. It's been almost 30 years since December 1 was designated World AIDS Day, and for so many it's been a long hard battle. For many the battle continues, but some things have changed.

Gays Falling For "Call Me By Your Name"
I get DMs on social media all the time from other gay men who want to share something in private because they're afraid of getting backlash if they share it in public. I do the same thing, too. It's just easier and more comfortable. We talk about our culture and our lives all the time behind the scenes, which can be cathartic nowadays.
