Coming Out Day–A Review From A Former Ex-Gay

When I was a young tyke and noticed that some girls stood out to me, I was also alarmed that I was still clearly obsessed with boys while my peers were salivating over girls. I hoped I was stunted in my growth spurt. Meanwhile, I saw girly magazines my pals shoved in my face as […]

Americans, Use your 3 Biggest Super Powers Now!

Most people will tell you that they feel like we are in one of the strangest places in our history that they have known. I have to agree. It’s a place where nothing feels quite right but all hell hasn’t broken loose quite yet either. Rather it is erupting in parts here and there. Environmental […]

The Frisbee Of Love: Ready To Catch It?

I recently watched a film called The Jesus Revolution starring Kesley Grammar of Cheers and Fraiser fame about the Jesus movement that sprung up in San Francisco in the 1970s. This movement ultimately grew two of the nation’s largest churches, Calvary Chapel and Harvest Christian Fellowship. The true spark of this movement that set 100,000’s […]

Is There A Path To A Spirit?

I saw this quote in the picture below and I love it. In the crazy, burdensome, busyness of life, I lost my ability to really make any much of a practice of being still to tap into a “world of magic things”. Stopping to read anything of much length. Stopping to enjoy nature. Stopping to […]

The Chase for Masculinity

I wonder as a gay man why it seems to me that so many put visible aspects of masculinity on such a high pedestal as though somehow true masculinity is a physical by-product to be worshipped or to become it by mere physical expression? Is a man with a missing leg less masculine? Or a […]

On The Darker Side Of The Moon

On the darker side of the moon, Where a lot of bad things happen to you, Where people say what can’t be is, And where God gives you more than you can handle, And the nightmare repeats, and you travel around the lunar mountain yet again, From lessons, you’ve yet to learn. Where you have […]

The Barbie, The Brobie, and The Bearbie–Who Won?

This weekend I had a dilemma because there were multi-events going on around the new Barbie movie coming out. Gaydom is all aflame about using this new Barbie movie starting the studly Ryan Gosling as Ken as a platform. One event was bear themed but in a Barbie way (Barbie with chest hair? Ew no! […]
