I'm a gay man from the rural Midwest with two cats. Pathetic? Maybe, but I write about it so you can laugh with me (or at me). You can find me on Substack, mostly.

We're in the middle of Transgender Awareness Week, and November 20th is TDoR for all those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.
Why should we care? Because no one deserves to be bullied, killed, or erased.

World AIDS Day is approaching, and October was LGBTQ History Month.
AIDS may not be completely eradicated, but why haven't we celebrated the achievements made?

Certain types of profiles exist on Grindr and other gay dating profiles.
Some of these relate very well to different kinds of candy.
