The Prying Game

The Prying Game

Do you ever wonder how other people have sex? I don’t mean the basics; we all know those. After all, toys aside, there are a limited number of body parts that can be inserted, stroked, nibbled, hardened, moistened, sucked, licked, or bitten and, if you read most romance novels, also a limited number of...

By Belinda Carroll
Hail, Mary!

Well, Butternut, It’s coming up on June and it’s time for Mamma’s favorite time of the year! Gay Pride! Or, if you prefer, Queer Pride. Or, as it’s known in certain circles, GLBT pride. Or, if you are so politically correct that nothing but fair-harvested hemp has touched your vegan skin since 1978, GLBTQIIPPXYZ...

Without Love: A Sociopathic Society

Have you ever had a boss who enjoys manipulating people, someone who creates intrigue and drama just for his own delight? He’s the fast-tracker at work, the golden boy who seems destined for executive privilege and power. He’s the guy who steals your ideas, takes credit for your hard work. Not only that, he’s...

The Karate Kid and I

There are a lot of theories floating around the world these days about what causes homosexuality. Some of them range from the delirious and upsetting — “Homosexuality is an evil demon inside you!” — to the more clinical and scientific –  “You can see in the brains of homosexual men and women indicators in several...

Belinda’s Guide to Radical Lusciousness

Ok, My Sweets. I am a rotund, Rubenesque, zaftig, brickhouse kinda girl with more 'back' than 'baby' owned, and I have had the occasional wayward fat girl come to me woefully and lament that she can't find anything to wear; nothing flatters her, and she may as well go out in yoga pants and...

A Rainbow Reflection

A Rainbow Reflection

I heard one of my right wing colleagues complaining the other day, lamenting that the gays have co-opted the rainbow. He said the rainbow is supposed to be a symbol of God’s promise. I didn’t disagree with him, but he seemed to have an exclusive idea of what the rainbow means. When I...

What’s in a Name?

April 23, 2010
By Joe Mirabella
What’s in a Name?

One of my favorite epic questions from Shakespeare is not Hamlet’s: “To be, or not to be–that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep– No, that question is too easy for...

LGBT and Allied Critiques on Marriage

Although those opposed to LGBT rights tend to portray the LGBT advocacy community as a monolithic political movement, many of us within the community know that diversity of thought, opinion, and ideology exists within it. Actually, some within the LGBT movement do not know that varying opinions exist as, just the other day, a commenter...

A New Kind of Straight Bar

A New Kind of Straight Bar

I have been gay since I was 18, but have still frequented my share of straight bars. In fact, I went through an extended phase during which I had sworn off women (can you smell a bad break-up?) In my early twenties, I wore revealing ‘boob’ shirts and stilettos with the rest...

No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition

No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition

If you’re nosy like me, sometimes you meet someone at work or in a social situation where there is something unusual about them, something that you don’t know much about but would like to. And then you want to ask a lot of personal questions to help you better understand this person. ...
