June 26, 2015 shall go down in gay history as the biggest win/win ever. Whoa. Rewind and let’s think about what the SCOTUS decision actually signifies. Yes, same sex marriage is now the law of the land that is if the states that are highly against it don’t find the dozens of ways to block […]
They say Jeb Bush could get the nominee this time around. They say it could be a dynasty. I say it’s a travesty. The only Bush I want to see in the white house is Hilary’s. Comedy is a great thing. It is a healing thing. When you laugh you disarm yourself and the world. […]
I’ll sometimes give the benefit of the doubt to a woman when a first date doesn’t always go the way I hoped. After all, people can have bad days, so when Janet’s preferred topic of interest, during our initial meeting, was her puppy I thought she might be nervous or simply excited about the new […]
I became a vegetarian for a dame. I know—the things we do for love. But when I met this lovely lady 22 years ago, my meat consumption was minimal. I was a waitress at a steakhouse and serving grilled flesh all the time made me shiver and my nipples spin. And then one day, the […]
South Africa led the world with its all-embracing Constitution, granting homosexuals unprecedented freedoms and rights.

Alone in a new city, working full time and working on my doctorate (full time), I find myself restless for human contact. As I load my messenger bag and empty coffee mug into my car one Saturday after class, all I want to do is go home, put on sweats, order takeout, and watch bad […]
This is the story about a young black girl who came of age during the Jim Crow era in the 1940s and 50s in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and how her early home life and experiences influenced her passions, mission and strategies for survival over six decades. I am inspired by Angela’s story in The Passionate Pursuits […]
This question seems ultra-relevant, given our tremendous focus on how to find and keep a mate. Â Research indicates at least 50% of lesbians over the age of 50 are single, so are they all unhappy? Â And common sense will remind you that many married people are miserable. Â So should we shift focus from finding happiness […]
Pope John Paul, President Ronald Reagan, David Letterman and I all began our professional careers within six months of each other. Pope John Paul is now a saint whose qualifying miracle was making the pedophilia scandal disappear. Ronald Reagan’s spirit has taken up evil residency in his Badger State mini-me, Scott Walker. David Letterman [retired] […]
“They saved my life, they were Muslim, a young doctor and his wife, when I gave myself an abortion and almost died,” Granny remembers. “Efraim (her husband) was so angry I think he would have let me die!” Granny’s story was different from most of the Jews of Baghdad. She wasn’t born there. She grew […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
