Massachusetts is for plovers

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I know plovers doesn’t rhyme with lovers, but this hopeful story (with a cute photo) from today’s New York Times makes me even happier with Massachusetts than Virginia (the “is for lovers” state) that makes life very hard indeed for same-sex couples. No, I’ve not forgotten.

And given my choice of where I can live, work, […]

The anti-viral video

Monday, October 29th, 2007

This Telugu-language video, performed by the Nritanjali Academy of the Andhra Pradesh state, India, was all the hit today at Day Job.

I like it for its catchy, informative way of promoting condom use.
It features women’s and gay men’s particular needs without embarrassment.
Clever [...]

Some links for October 20

Saturday, October 20th, 2007
Stentor Danielson picks up on two kinds of churchly homophobia and I suspect the quieter one he mentions is the more toxic. (Debitage).
Lifehacker reminds us that the five-year window “Do Not Call” registry so many of us used will be re-opening next year. You can reset the [...]

A thin blog day tomorrow!

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

You see, I write most of my day’s posts the night before (which is why they come out so evenly in the morning and early afternoon) and tonight’s the Gay Superbowl. I know some of you are watching with us.

Update. I didn’t see Grey Gardens but I cheered Mary Louise Wilson for knowing how to […]

The Boy is banned!

Jaume comments, writing from Spain:

I am sorry to tell you that I cannot reach your blog when I am at the corporate offices of my client (a multinational computer company which in the past was almost a synonym to “computer”). When I try to open your blog, the browser displays a “Forbidden” page. And probably […]

Half of this blog’s title is really gay

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

TCM is playing a month’s worth of gay cinema this month, including the extraordinarily depressing and unnerving but pioneering 1970 film, The Boys in the Band. (It was also an off-Broadway play the year before, year of my birth.)

This blog’s name riffs on it (and Geneva bands) a bit ironically. But every time I think […]

Will the ex-gay crowd help one day?

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I listened to an interesting 2005 half-hour documentary about gay history from Radio Netherlands entitled “Pride and Prejudice.” (I got this as a MP3 podcast feed but I’m not sure how I got it.) It reviewed the state of gay (male, mostly) self-worth and self-identity from the Victorian era to the pre-Liberation (post-1969) period in […]

Christian gay marriage blog

Friday, March 18th, 2005

Here’s a blog I intend to follow:

Gay Marriage: Connect The Biblical Dots

It describes itself as “a queer Christian blog that poses an alternative view on homosexuality and the Bible - based on scriptural and historical research.”

2008 May 5. No new posts since 2005.
