A Child Stuck In A Well
I spent most of the month posting about body and sex positivity and I figured I would wrap it up with a reality check. The body positive movement is a good thing, for some people. Just like life, it isn’t a blanket statement. No one can ever tell you to love who you are for … Continue reading A Child Stuck In A Well
Looking For Light In The Darkness
The World can be a dark place, that's for sure. Each time you turn on the TV, open Twitter or Facebook, check your Instagram posts, or even listen to your podcasts, there is always some note of darkness. This Administration is trying the damndest to roll back everything they can about protection status for our … Continue reading Looking For Light In The Darkness
Warmer Thoughts
Today is a more chillier day in Cleveland and my canvas kilt is a bit more breezy than I thought it would be this morning. So in retaliation, I am posting to pictures I took last spring with my best friend Tammy McFarland Mellert. You can find her on YouTube, where she does reviews about … Continue reading Warmer Thoughts
It Puts The Lotion On It’s Skin…
Bear with me, as this will be a long road… I am reminded of a scene from one of my favorite, albeit chilling, movies, Silence of the Lambs. In it, the villain, James Gumb, also known as Buffalo Bill, battles with the issue of seeing himself differently than the rest of the world does. He … Continue reading It Puts The Lotion On It’s Skin…

A wise Jedi once said, "Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to Suffering." Fear causes all kinds of dilemmas and as LGBTQ people; it is an emotion that we learn at a very early age. Being found out for who we are causes an intense amount of fear and we typically … Continue reading Through The Looking Glass
You Had Me At The Swing Of Your Kilt.
What can I say; I love a man in a kilt. Perhaps that's why I always wanted to wear one or maybe it was due in some small part to my heritage being Scottish and Irish. It may also be that I have been jealous of women being the only one to wear something like … Continue reading You Had Me At The Swing Of Your Kilt.
When I Grow Up
It's common knowledge that gay men seem to have more role models that are women than men. I come from an earlier time of coming out, so we really didn't have openly LGBTQ people to idolize. So we latched on to what was most available and it is funny how most gay men seem to … Continue reading When I Grow Up
Finding my needle in a haystack…
I mentioned that I came from a small town in southwestern Virginia, in a previous post Cleveland Dating Woes. I don’t regret it, it was hard growing up there but I wouldn't have changed it. Afterall, I met my first love there. So it cannot be all bad. Dating was so easy, when I first … Continue reading Finding my needle in a haystack…
