Casey McQuinston’s I Kissed Shara Wheeler

It’s no secret, I love a bargain! I also love Black Friday, but not as much as I hate people. So that means no malls for me but I’ll troll the internet for more than just porn that one day a year. I feel guilty spending money on myself, so I have to play mind…

In my gay opinion, the best indie book store in Connecticut is RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison. Wanting to support my fav bookstore and a gay author, I bought my $28.71 ticket for their Cody Rigsby photo-op event that came with a signed copy of his autobiography, “XOXO, Cody.” You know I love my autographed…

Melissa Etheridge’s Talking To My Angels

1993 was a monumental year. At the time, I was working at a local electronics store in their music and movie department. Musically, Melissa Etheridge released her iconic, queer-anthem album, Yes I Am, and personally I was coming to terms with my own queerness with the help from a few angels of my own. Melissa…
