Furry Friday
October 11 – National coming out day
Every year on National Coming Out Day, we celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or as an ally. On Oct. 11, 2013. This year – the 25th anniversary – theme is “Coming Out Still Matters.” I couldn’t agree more with this theme and its timing. 2013 has seen some landmark legislation that may have some wondering does this still matter? But rights that have been hard fought can be quickly taken away.
Just a week ago Pennsylvania Republican Governor suggested that same-sex marriage was as comparable to incest. However, his comments are hardly isolated in the US as a more radical conservative wing of the Republican Party continues to flex its muscle advocating for such despicable practices as Reparative (otherwise known as “Conversion”) therapy. Additionally, as the world continues to connect through social media, those living in countries abroad can and hopefully do take heart knowing they are not mentally ill or in need of being ‘fixed’.

German Sochi Olympic outfits have rainbow theme
JMG last week broke the story that Germany’s Athletes will wear the above rainbow-hued uniforms at the Sochi Olympics, but officials insist the design is not intended as a commentary on Russia’s anti-gay laws. Either way, I love it. I’d love to see more countries follow Germany’s lead. You can read the full story here in Der Spiegel (it is in English).
The unorthodox Orthodox wall calendar of 2014
Each year the makers of this calendar reach out to let me know when their new calendar is available. It has always given me a good laugh – who knew orthodox garb could be so interesting. Maybe this will give some of you ideas for Halloween costumes later this month.
You can purchase a copy of the 2014 Orthodox Wall Calendar here.
Scruffy Sunday
Sometimes just getting yourself out of bed is an accomplishment. Well done Tony.
Mates leather weekend in Ptown
The summer is over (wimper) but the Crown & Anchor, Purgatory and others have events planned this weekend to welcome guys arriving in Ptown for Mates Leather Weekend.
Today’s lesson: Know what you want
You might think that this is obvious, but the reality is many people convince themselves that they really want something only to realize that once they achieve that goal, buy that product, marry that person of their dreams, etc… it isn’t what they want, like, or love.
Take a page out of my friend Jesse’s book and find out what you are really passionate about and love. Everything else will work itself out – I promise.
I’m shallow
I’ll admit it – I’m pandering. But I’d like everyone to know two things: first, I’ve never really had a thing for cowboys – even as a kid I was always cheering for the indians so it is clearly my appreciation for photography that is why I wanted to share this picture; and second, I’ve had this photo for evah… I mean DOMA hadn’t even been repealed so I think I’ve shown incredible restraint all things considered.
