Question: Am I Just Stingy?
While I would have liked to herald my return to writing for Lesbian Family.org with a deeply heartfelt, moving piece, I’m still just too tired for that. So instead I’ll ask a question.
Would you use a coupon on a first date?
This question was asked on queercents this week as part of their WWYD series. To [...]

Writing Beyond the Blogosphere
This is mostly to those of you with blogs of your own. But of course, open to all.
I know that some of you are writers, some of you are serious about being writers, and some of you would be serious about being writers if you weren’t afraid that admitting it would sound arrogant, or maybe [...]

A Different Kind of Proud Parent
I’ve written about getting more involved in my local queer community here before, and last night I got to experience something new in that arena. Last night I attended my first PFLAG meeting.

And the Winner Was…
Perez Hilton. That’s who won the 2007 Bloggie for Best GLBT Blog.
I’m not sufficiently detached to claim that I’m not disappointed at all, but I have to admit, I’m not surprised. And I’m not very disappointed. Calling it “apples to oranges” doesn’t even convey it. Maybe grilled cheese sandwiches to tequila is a better simile?

An Order of Retail Therapy with a Side of Frustration
I have been meaning to write a review of Peggy Drexler’s Raising Boys Without Men, but I never seem to have the time. So here’s some thoughts on a somewhat tangentially related topic…
In an ultimately futile attempt to distract myself from my most recent bout of adoption anxiety, I decided to go out and purchase the [...]
