.. Was it difficult for me, a raging closeted homosexual, to live with straight men on my mission. I explain that the fact that I cohabitated with heterosexual teenagers for 24 months and still somehow came out of that wanting to date men is definitive proof that conversion therapy could never work.
The powers that be have removed the paywall on my latest column, about living with straight dudes for two years and nearly starving to death because we were all incompetent.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans.

I'm sure their constituents aren't all that happy right now.

Several people I know received "letters" last week. They aren't going to resign, but it is very unsettling for them.
