If you get lonely, chances are you have a plethora of options: go out with friends to a bar, movie, restaurant, club, event, party…the list goes on. If you’re looking for some human touch, the options are there as well: Grindr, Scruff, PlentyofFish, okcupid, etc. For most gay men, Grindr is the preferred option. Unfortunately, [...]

Once a year, we get the opportunity to give thanks to the woman who pushed us out of her vagina and into the world. She’s a special lady. You love her (most of the time), and this is your chance to show her how much you appreciate her. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to [...]

Last week’s guest editorial from an openly gay teacher, Patrick Robert, set out to prove one thing: with gay marriage in the (hopefully) near future, gay culture is in dire need of a makeover. Yes, we are proud, wonderful, unique people, However, keep in mind that stereotypes don’t just appear out of thin air. Face [...]

Well, we’ve won. At least that’s the news headline trending on the Internet for the last few weeks. Even if the Supreme Court doesn’t knock down DOMA or Proposition 8, the court of public opinion has reached its own verdict, and gay marriage only seems like a matter of time. More amazing, an incredible Time [...]

I recently watched Ken Burns’ incomparable 1990 documentary series, “The Civil War.” I won’t spend a lot of time extolling its many virtues—as documentary, as American history, as unparalleled storytelling, as explanation for the causes-and-consequences of many societal issues with which we still wrestle, more than 150 years after that violent struggle began—other than to [...]

It appears that right now in South Florida, we have both a buyer’s and seller’s real estate market at the same time, although record low levels of inventory will eventually lead us more towards a stronger seller’s market.  Real estate, like any market, is driven by supply and demand, and “supply” in real estate is [...]

This Saturday, join thousands of your friends and neighbors  for the 5K Florida AIDS Walk and Music Festival, a heritage event created to raise awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic which remains at crisis proportions in Florida. The Walk and Music Festival raise money to support those Floridians—your friends and neighbors—who are living with HIV/AIDS. [...]

“May you live in interesting times.” Chinese curse I was reading a story last night, a pastiche of superhero tales that spans the era from the “Golden Age” of comics (roughly from the 1930s through the early 1950s), the “Silver Age” (the post-atomic 1960s and 70s), and more modern comic book fare. In the story, [...]

I’ve always found it curious that for someone who considers himself a true Anglophile, I have never really been able to get my arms around British television. I don’t know what it is, but it must have something to do with George Bernard Shaw’s cute observation that Americans and Brits are separated by a common [...]
