In the last post, I talked about the Hanky Code and some of their meanings. Boiled down to basics, it started as a means for gay men to recognize one another and to quickly ascertain the types of sexual activities they liked. Most of which speaks to fetish, in some way or another. At quick … Continue reading Fetishism Fun For ALL
Here, Borrow My Hanky
So, my last post was about my own struggle with body positivity and how I have started trying to deal with it. I think the next step is to talk about being sex positive. To do so, we will have to look at several topics and even revisit some history. It is important to think … Continue reading Here, Borrow My Hanky
All The Queen’s Men
Last night I experienced one of the most spectacular shows in all the drag I have seen. All the Queen's Men made their eastside debut last night at ALL AXS and they knew how to bring the show. This amazing group rolled into town, took over the bar, and left the crowd begging for more. … Continue reading All The Queen’s Men
Barely Body Beautiful
Disclaimer, this is a hard post for me to do. I make no apologies for it, as it is a means of self-acceptance and growth. If you have strong feelings over it, then it has achieved its purpose for both of us. Hopefully, you will grow as I am trying to. Thank being said, let's … Continue reading Barely Body Beautiful
Community At Odds
After a conversation with friends at the bar, last night, this seemed all too relevant. I had been sitting on this article for a while trying to decide if I wanted to post it or let it set for a later date. Sometimes the universe tells you that something is more important than you thought … Continue reading Community At Odds

As many get older the retreat from the bar or party scenes for varying reasons and as such … Continue reading LGBTQ Elderly
Our Sapphic Sisters
For a long time there seems to have been a division between lesbians and gay men. There have even been times in which the split between us was very hostile. Some say it is due to lesbians being against males centered culture and due to their deep ties to the feminist movements. Some say it … Continue reading Our Sapphic Sisters
Bi-negativity of LGBT
Switch hitters, fence post sitters, AC/DC, confused, and straggot are just a few terms that are thrown out by people when the term bisexual comes up. Even more sad is that a lot of these terms are still being said by our own community. It seems that when it comes to judging others, we are … Continue reading Bi-negativity of LGBT
No T, No Shade
If you have not been to ALL AX'S, then why the hell not? This bar has been steppin' it's pussy up almost every week. They are doing it for our community and to become a destination spot on the east side of Cleveland. What it needs to get there is you, so make sure you … Continue reading No T, No Shade
Heteronormativity of LGBTQ People
The very core of who we are is implanted into us during our childhood. Sure, you may argue that education causes us to look out who we are, decide what is good/bad about it, and make needed changes to evolve, but keep in mind how we define those very structures is based on our upbringing, … Continue reading Heteronormativity of LGBTQ People
