Last week one of my favorite bloggers, Matt Rettenmund, who writes the blog boy culture, had a post about an adult themed gay comic illustrator, Dale Lazarov. As a kid I never really got into comic books, but I appreciate creativity and know there are a lot of people who do like comics.
The website, www.dalelazarov.com, describes the comics as an imprint for wordless, gay character-based, sex-positive graphic novels. You can check out Lazarov’s books on Amazon, or get digital editions here.

Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.
A friend and follower of this blog recently shared an article from The Economist website, Why Lesbians Tend To Earn More Than Heterosexual Women, which I thought was interesting and wanted to share.
The article admits that this type of research can be tricky because not everyone is forthright about their sexual orientation or compensation but based on studies (not cited in this article) it appears that lesbians earn more than heterosexual woman, which is contrary to heterosexual and homosexual men where heterosexual men earn about 10-12% more in Canada and the US.
The article explores factors that might contribute to lesbians earning more than their heterosexual counterparts but it is mostly speculation. I hope the article is correct and that professional lesbians help close the delta of pay between the sexes. The lesbians I am friendly with are dedicated, smart and hard working. They deserve the accolades and acknowledgments for their contributions – hopefully that translates into more $ for them.
