Now that September is knocking on the door, I am left dreading the winter to come. To … Continue reading End of the Summer Feel Good Songs

Gaymer Game Review
Building off of my last article, I thought I would share some of my favorite games. I am not a hard-core gamer, like I used to be. I still play often and on varying consoles. I am still a PC gamer, but I also have my Xbox, PlayStation, and my Switch. Each one has its … Continue reading Gaymer Game Review
Gaymers of the World

Another area where there are large numbers of LGBTQ people is the gaming … Continue reading Gaymers of the World
Thrills, Chills, and Queer… Horror

Strength from the Queen
With the recent passing of the icon, Aretha Franklin, I think it is only fitting to look back on some of her more loved songs by LGBTQ community. I know that, primarily, I am speaking more to myself specifically, but these are songs that are immensely powerful. They were songs that leant me strength at … Continue reading Strength from the Queen
