And Another Thing....

Two weeks.

I'm leaving for Guatemala this week, to visit my cousin....so, look for more posting after August 26!

Have a great couple weeks!

Columns up...

Thoughts on mothers day, now up on the column site...

Also, the Equal Gay and Lesbian Rights Amendment, Ann Coulter, the Faggot Wars, the Snickers ad, added to the archives. We now have all columns back through Feb. 2006!

Thanks for reading, as always.

Columns are up!

Jesus. Thanksgiving. The DMV.

What do they have in common?

They were all in columns in November and December.

Finally....read them here!

While you're at it, check out the column archive. Columns now go back through February 06. The latest column marks 10 years of column writing! Eventually, I hope to have them all up....

column is up!

People always talk about the Grateful Dead and their Deadheads, or Jimmy Buffet and his Parrotheads. But the media—and mainstream America—seem to have missed another long-running musical cult: Indigo Girls fans.

Newest column is up....read it here first!

Welcome, Out in America!

I'm really excited that my blog is now being featured on the Out in America websites, which already carry my weekly column.

Welcome, readers! I look forward to getting to know you better, hearing your ideas, and sharing my random thoughts on life, love, lesbians and politics.

This week's colum....and last

Both are up.... enjoy!

Where's the cat column?

That's what you're wondering. At least, that's what one reader is wondering, who sent me an email that said:

I loved the cat column and want to send it to my aunt, but now I can't find a copy of the paper. Are you going to post it on your site? Also, you should try cat wash--it worked well for my brother when he moved in with his girlfriend. She has to wash the cat a lot, though, and Adele (the kitty) hates water, but oh well.

I know, cat fans. I hear you. I thought of it as "the allergy column" instead of "the cat column," but I hear you. I've been lazy (well, really I've been at the DMV and fighting with Chase over a deposit they lost), but I'll put the cat column up tomorrow sometime.

Hold your, uh, cats.

Column is up

It's on Foley this week.....

Republican Mark Foley (R-FL) has a problem, but it's not precisely the one in the headlines.                

    Last week, as soon as the news broke that the congressman had sent sexually-tinged texts to a former page, the first headlines (now changed online) called him a pedophile.

               

    And even now, bloggers and those who comment on them keep using that word "pedophile" over and over again.

               

  This makes Democrats celebrate, yes?

    But gay Democrats in particular need to take a step back. Short term, this may give us some salacious pleasure. But long term? This is not good.

               

check it out here.

Who are you?

Hi lurkers,

I know you're out there. I have a basic idea of which of my friends read my blog regularly....but then there are all these people I don't know. From other countries. And other places besides NY and Chicago and DC, which are my friend-hubs. And I want to know you! So, post a comment here! Tell us who you are!

New column is up

Hi friends,

Thanks for being here for me. I feel really supported by you and I'm grateful. My family and I are pretty hunkered down at the moment.... but the new column is up. I wrote it a few hours before my grandmother died.

You can read it here. . As always, you'll need to click on the column link up top.

Love,

Jay
