Hurray! Hubby and I had our first date seven years ago tonight. He’s at work, and I’m thinking deeply and fondly of him. Last night, he and I were shopping for groceries and, in frozen foods, the conversation turned to our Easter observances. To tell the truth, I was thinking of a lo-cal or vegetarian… Continue reading What to do for Easter

Who will speak up for Mehdi Kazemi?
I am disturbed that the UK Home Office will deport 19-year-old gay Iranian Mehdi Kazemi back to Iran, where his life is most surely in danger. (He was studying in the UK.) there isn’t a strong campaign to pressure the UK government to allow him to stay there. Kazemi’s partner (or boyfriend, variously reported) was… Continue reading Who will speak up for Mehdi Kazemi?
Gay postage watch
Yesterday, a Day Job Office Mate and fellow Project Runway watcher suggested a spin-off series: a new, new Odd Couple where Tim Gunn (D.C. native!) and Chris March share an apartment and hilarity ensues. I suggested, “They could just move the same Eames chair back and forth.” Well, dang, if the United States Postal Service… Continue reading Gay postage watch

Sorry Grace, back in the box!
Brain on fire following Robertson clip
Even though Day Job is around the corner from the CBN News office, I don’t think much about that candidate for America’s #1 lunatic: Pat Robertson. The readers at Towelroad, using a YouTube-d video grabbed by Right Wing Watch, is having a “I can’t believe it” moment. Seems the 700 Mob now thinks I-35 is… Continue reading Brain on fire following Robertson clip
Massachusetts is for plovers
I know plovers doesn’t rhyme with lovers, but this hopeful story (with a cute photo) from today’s New York Times makes me even happier with Massachusetts than Virginia (the “is for lovers” state) that makes life very hard indeed for same-sex couples. No, I’ve not forgotten. And given my choice of where I can live,… Continue reading Massachusetts is for plovers
The anti-viral video
This Telugu-language video, performed by the Nritanjali Academy of the Andhra Pradesh state, India, was all the hit today at Day Job. I like it for its catchy, informative way of promoting condom use. It features women’s and gay men’s particular needs without embarrassment. Clever people can use it for last-minute costume ideas. Pass the… Continue reading The anti-viral video
Some links for October 20
Stentor Danielson picks up on two kinds of churchly homophobia and I suspect the quieter one he mentions is the more toxic. (Debitage). Lifehacker reminds us that the five-year window “Do Not Call” registry so many of us used will be re-opening next year. You can reset the clock — and enjoy solicitation-free evenings —… Continue reading Some links for October 20
A thin blog day tomorrow!
You see, I write most of my day’s posts the night before (which is why they come out so evenly in the morning and early afternoon) and tonight’s the Gay Superbowl. I know some of you are watching with us. Update. I didn’t see Grey Gardens but I cheered Mary Louise Wilson for knowing how… Continue reading A thin blog day tomorrow!
The Boy is banned!
Jaume comments, writing from Spain: I am sorry to tell you that I cannot reach your blog when I am at the corporate offices of my client (a multinational computer company which in the past was almost a synonym to “computerâ€). When I try to open your blog, the browser displays a “Forbidden†page. And… Continue reading The Boy is banned!
