I have always been a fan of music but when I was growing up there weren’t any out gay singers telling my story, there were only closeted LGBTQ performers. Hell, Barry Manilow didn’t come out until just recently to an underwhelmed gasp…or was it a collective yawn? As a young gay I turned to the…
Life is full of lessons that you’re forced to learn, and let me tell you, I learned a lot this month. I was physically knocked out of commission for the whole month due to a pinched nerve in my neck. It effected my back, shoulder and right arm. I spent so much time Netflix and…
In my gay opinion, a lot of people follow alternative or punk bands just to up their street cred. I gave up any hopes of ever being cool around the time I started squeezing my fat teen ass into pleather pants, florescent sweat shirts, Converse high tops, my plastic Michael Jackson inspired zipper jacket, and…
Death. Nobody wants to think about it but it’s inevitable. Before I die there’s one slight detail I need to tie up in order to prepare my estate, I have to find the next gay Dave to bestow my diva autograph collection on to. I’m a total stalker who enjoys meeting divas at meet and…
I was a huge fan of the first season of the TV show Stranger Thing. I loved the sci-fi teen adventure plot with an 80’s feel, it reminded me of the movies ET and Goonies and I also loved that they bailed Winona Ryder’s ass out of a mall jail somewhere to star. Then season…
Funerals and weddings are my least favorite ways to spend time. I have to dress up in a shirt and tie to attend a formal ritual of zero interest. This month I had a memorial service and wedding within 48 hours of each other, boy am I glad that’s over with. Funerals, memorial services, celebrations…
My partner and I have been talking about visiting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a while. After Boston and New York, it’s the next major city close enough for us to easily get to in a few hours. When Amtrak offered a BOGO deal, we decided now was the time to visit. In my…
Now that Madonna explained who Madame X is (she forgot pretentious), this is how I see Madame X. Medellin – Four years since Rebel Heart and I was ready for some new Madonna music. After hearing the first single “Medellin”, I thought “Eh”, but who knew this would be one of the better songs on…
Celebrating my birthday sucks. I hate all that attention drawn to me and people making a big deal out of something I have zero interest in, like hemorrhoids or looking at baby pictures. I’d rather be alone so I don’t have to “appreciate” the well wishes and pretend like I care. The only time I…
I’m in a high school parking lot on a beautiful New York day. There are cheerleaders atop a school bus doing routines. Flips, splits and pom-pom’s everywhere, major routines beyond anything I’ve seen in any of the six Bring It On movies…yes, I’ve seen all six. They’re defying gravity (this is a dream after all)…
