Kink and the Open Road

Over the last couple weeks, I have talked about various styles of kink and how it relates to people. Degrees of it vary as much as does people themselves.

The Balance of Power

Each person reacts differently to the stimuli they are given in a particular environment. At early ages we start to react to specific things different than our peers, what we like, and dislike varies completely.

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.

More people are openly accepting of the LGBTQ population. And it is also legal for us to marry, in the United States. However, just because … Continue reading HB-36 and Why It Is Bad…

Those We Have Lost

When I was a young gay kid, before I came out and understood what I was, I hadn't had much connection with a LGBTQ community. Keep in mind that when I was a child that was late 1970s through the 1980s. The only LGBTQ people that I even knew were two women who lived together … Continue reading Those We Have Lost

Are You Thankful?

The holiday season is upon us and for me one of my more favorites of them is Thanksgiving. That being said, in a moment we will also discuss why I very much dislike this holiday.
