This was a good one!

If it was two totally straight-looking women kissing, people would just think they were family members. Yes, it is gender for sure! That’s why Trans women and Gay men get the worse of the crap.

Happy New Year 2012 everyone!

It’s true. More gay men are getting arrested for kissing. The latest is a kiss on the cheek in a Mormon churchyard to which Coco refers. It matters to all of us and we do need to stand together, because we are all affected by it.

So, really surprised about police stupidity?

This has been my stance for a long time and is what I try to promote wherever I can.

That is the salient point of my recently released biographical novel, Broken Saint. It is based on my forty-year friendship with a gay man, and chronicles his internal and external struggles as he battles for acceptance (of himself and by others). More information on the book is available at http://www.eloquentbooks.com/BrokenSaint.html.
