WHY: A Memoir–5 Star Reviews From Amazon
You know what they say about the best laid plans… ugh. Sorry for the missing video from last weekend and posts this week. My day job has me training a new class and my sole focus has been on making sure they succeed when they start their new positions.
Have I mentioned I love my day job? I really do. No… really really do :).
That said, I thought I could at least share three of the nine 5-Star reviews on Amazon. So here goes! Merry Friday and Happy Weekend!
You can order or write your r...

So How Are "WHY: A Memoir" Book Sales Going?
This is Marisal and I at the Gurus Magazine Pride kick-off party last June 1st. I love Marisal! She is a Neil Gaiman geek like me. To the far left is another good friend, Lori Beth, and thank you Betsy for taking the photo!Recently, one of the wonderful people who endorsed my book asked, “So how are book sales going?” I responded, “Well any author would love to have higher book sales than they have at any given time because it means even more people want to read what the author has ...

Taking "Mind Your Own D*mn Business" Personally
at the 2018 Orlando Pride. Here I am doing an interview for Pray Away in front of these protestors. It didn’t end up in the film.Last night, soon-to-be President Kamala Harris introduced her VP pick and current Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who then gave a fantastic speech. Below is a quote that *really* stood out to me but if you want to read his whole speech go here (emphasis mine):
“Some of us in here are old enough to remember – I see you down there, I see those old white guys — so...

A Bonus Dad With Skin In The Game
Taken the first night I met The Diva. Our nephew Simon is next to her with the two-finger bunny ears… these kids!The Big Orange Brat Baby (BOBB, aka Trump) named JD Vance as his VP pick. JD is weird and just as hateful as BOBB. The other day JD said (links to USA Today):
“We are effectively run in this country … by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable, too,” Van...

Put Down The Stones & Pick Up An Art History Book
Here is what inspired this post. Almost the entire comment thread, except my comment (which was probably hidden from the page) is people talking about how they should pray for the “lost” and depraved even when these degenerate sinners “persecute” God’s people. Here is a screenshot from Charisma News:
The drag performance was about a whole different painting in a whole different religious context involving the Greek god of wine and fertility Dionysus. The mythology extends from Greece...

You know, Being N*ked Is Awesome
Between 1982-1986 I was a nervous gay teenager who felt uncomfortable changing in the high school gym locker-room. While other boys seemed confident and enjoyed being nearly nude, I did everything I could to hide and avoid the mirrors. I always felt unattractive, and some of the boys made sure I felt that way too.
Even when I was out after high school, I wouldn’t get naked with a romantic partner with the lights on. I always had to be covered up as much as possible. I rarely got full...

Thoughts On The Death Of A Horrible Man
“A Man Pondering the Cycle of Life” – AI generated with Imagen via CanvaThe Universe sure knows how to seemingly throw curveballs out of absolutely nowhere.
On Monday I learned that one of the most hateful men I ever met in my life (Jason “Molotov” Mitchell) passed away by his own hand. I only met him once. At first, I thought he was cool. We were both at a religious right activist-type meeting I attended back when I was in the stained-glass closet. But after the meeting, we went to ...
