A friend on Facebook asked if I had something to say about the new law in California that requires schools to include the contributions of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender in social studies curriculum. Yes, I have something to say. I’m a teacher… OK, I’m a yet to be an employed teacher […]
(Welcome Insta-P Readers! Always glad to get an Intsalanche – They’re not easy to come by) Miss Jane Russell – RIP. Now, contrast that with the latest from Lady Gaga. After the interesting first 23 seconds (good use of angles and shifting the axis of action), you might want to skip the weird and bizarre […]
** NOTE: Though there is no inappropriate material within this post, some of the content leads to topics that are not exactly kitchen table discussions.** Today, one of my very liberal Facebook friends gleefully posted a link to the following story. A number of years ago, gay activist Dan Savage decided to take on Republican […]
It was rumored a month or so ago that one of the Fantastic Four would be shedding his or her mortal coil. Now it’s confirmed. They are extinguishing the Human Torch. Yawn…. Though his death does look painful. When I heard the news, I was thinking it would be him… I mean, come on… “Flame […]
Just so my little brother can see that I’m willing to issue a mea culpa when I make a mistake. Here is my comment on a friends Facebook page this morning. He asked: ?”Is Amazon’s Book Censorship Going Too Far By Banning Only Gay Rape Fiction?“ I said: No. Any merchant should be free to […]

It’s […]
Really???? Someone can possibly say that with a straight face??? While at the same time the military is currently on a mission to pull off one of the greatest social experiments ever attempted – bringing Democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq!!! I am a gay man. I’ve known all my life. I came to terms with […]
Thanks goes out to the following republican Senators for bucking the idiocy of their party’s social conservative base: Richard Burr of North Carolina, Mark Kirk of Illinois, John Ensign of Nevada, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, George Voinovich of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine. None of these […]
No, it’s not an unearthed Jane Austin novel – it refers to an incident that occured on Facebook yesterday. For those that missed it, the topic focused on something Bob, a straight long-time high school friend, said on his Facebook page that is supposedly offensive to gays. I’m one of those gay person types, and […]
Back in the 90’s, when I was trying to get right in my head the reality, and finality, that I am gay, I often used the Serenity Prayer to help me move forward accepting this aspect of my life. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the […]
