My first article about Furries was based on a person wanting me to discuss it and how people perceive it. This wanted to be someone who explained what it meant them and how it fit into their lives. I have to admit; I didn’t know much about the subculture before I started this part of … Continue reading The Need To Break Free

Where The Wild Heart Roams
So, I was having a moment of writer's block and unsure what topic I wanted to cover next, it is still a good month before Pride season starts and didn’t want to burn that out before then. A new friend of mine suggested I write about her and her lifestyle, never wanting to turn down … Continue reading Where The Wild Heart Roams
LGBT and Sex Ed
We are fully aware that history shows LGBT are more sexually active at a young age. It also shows that gay men have been fairly indiscriminate in the past, when it comes to sexual conquests. Lesbians have always been joked about bringing a U-Haul to the first date, implying that they are moving in shortly … Continue reading LGBT and Sex Ed

Often times, those learned behaviors or responses are done at such a young age, that changing them is hardly an … Continue reading The Balance of Power
What’s Old Is New Again
So many times, things fall to the annals of history and seem to disappear, leave gaps in what once was. But with LGBTQ, many things that had become passé have come back around and fallen into favor, even if slightly changed. Then there are times that new things spontaneously come into creation and burn bright. … Continue reading What’s Old Is New Again
