    The Faces of Gay Marriage

    The religious right loves to paint marriage equality as something nasty. They want the world to hear the word gay and think sex. Well I think these photographs, posted by the Boston Globe, present marriage equality as what it really is: all about love. From all races, religions, nationalities, and ...

    A Queer Debate

    After Doctor Laura’s racist tirade a couple of weeks ago, I have noticed a lot of discussion about reclaiming abusive words. I don’t think the use of the n word within parts of the black community is the same as the use of "queer" within the lgbt community ...

    Porno Friday: the bare backing issue

    Bare back porn is quickly becoming one of the biggest niche markets in the industry. Unprotected sex and skin to skin contact has been fetishized. Obviously this has raised a lot of tension in the queer community. For some it epitomizes a faux-post- AIDS culture, and for others bare back ...

    Gay Bashed

    I grew up in a progressive town in the suburbs of New York. In towns like these, the law of the politically correct is passed from the sky on large stone tablets. This community ethic sheltered me from a world where prejudice could be seen with the naked eye. However ...

    Sex…it’s one of the oldest profession there is, and one of the most controversial.  This week, for Porno Friday we will be looking at the sex workers themselves. While sex workers include everyone from call girls and rent boys to strippers and lap dancers, given the title of ...

    How vanity and materialism saved my life, or how I got a new iPhone

    My grandma has had emphysema since as long as I can remember, and my grandpa was just diagnosed with lung cancer, (he started chemo last week). I have a family history of blood pressure so high you’d think the major staple of our diet was salt, and a physician ...

    In case you haven’t heard…PROP 8 WAS SHOT DOWN!

    On Wednesday afternoon I was standing at the liberty pole, waiting to rally in either celebration or disappointment of Judge Walker’s decision. As organizers passed out chant lists and tested microphones, a chime of text messages erupted through the crowd…followed by a collective applause— the decisions was made ...
