No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition
If you’re nosy like me, sometimes you meet someone at work or in a social situation where there is something unusual about them, something that you don’t know much about but would like to. And then you want to ask a lot of personal questions to help you better understand this person. (Ok, so maybe you just want to ask because you’re nosy, like me. But work with me here.)
As an example,...

Dear Jeff,
This is going to be very awkward for me to write. If you don’t mind, please do me a favor and return this note to me when you are done reading it because I do not want it to fall...
Coaster Punchman & the College Boys, Part 5
For previous installments of the serial, go here.
In those days Lulu was my telephonic confidante about all things romantic, and on several occasions I bent her ear to the point that it probably almost broke. To be fair to myself, I reciprocated for Lu on more than one occasion, though I’ll have to let her share that as part of her own story. In any event, I called her the morning after my romantic...

I was lucky to have three very nice guys as my college roommates that year, even if I would have been terrified to come out to them. Although they are still good friends of mine today, heaven knows what they might have felt compelled to do or say back in 1987 if they had found out they were...

I Worship At The Altar of Suze Orman

One of the hardest, yet greatest aspects to being a part of the “LGBT” community is our unparalleled diversity. It’s not possible to categorize LGBT people because we are as diverse as the human race itself.
I can’t think of any other minority group that has such richness, or that is as rife with internal dilemmas, as our community. How on earth are...
Coaster Punchman and the College Boys, Part 3
I don’t remember much about my first dinner with Jeff Henderson, except the fact that I was too nervous to pay attention to anything he said. I also ate like a bird in those days, and even more so when I was wound up (which I was about something or other, most of the time.)
This is where I lured my date
Jeff and I would enjoy many more dinners together, and one time he commented on the paltriness...
