Happy father’s day

DadI wanted to take a moment to acknowledge my father (shown above) on this special day and say a word of thanks to my brother, Timothy, and brother-in-law, Travis, for being such amazing fathers to their children.  My brother-in-law, Brett, will soon experience fatherhood as well and will be a great dad too.

This post is really dedicated to all the fathers who understand how much their children need them in their lives and for the sacrifices they make to ensure their children always feel loved and supported. It is a job with few holidays and that requires an infinite amount of patience and understanding.

Donkey Show at the Oberon

TheaterAre you looking for something fun to do next weekend? Join The Welcoming Committee when they head back to the Oberon Theater for a takeover of The Donkey Show.

Unfamiliar with The Donkey Show? It is a disco adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and is a long-running glitter-filled show hosted at the Oberon Theater in Harvard Square.  The show is an absolute blast. Sergio and I joined TWC back in 2013 and I still smile when I think about all the fun we had. Oberon Theater Donkey ShowThis annual TWC event always sells out so take advantage of their  limited number of discounted tickets ($5 off the public price). For more information about the program and how to get your discounted tickets, visit TWC’s event page, Donkey Show Takeover.

Equality For All Americans

Equality for All Americans NowMy good friend wrote a call to action blog post earlier this week in reaction to the violence in Orlando last weekend and I wanted to share it.

Read and share: You Think You Know.

You Think You KnowFACT: One of the survivors of the Orlando shooting could be fired from their job or kicked out of their apartment simply for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Throughout most of Florida, it is legal to fire someone or deny them access to housing or public accommodations because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).

Sign language

sign language, grammarWhile attending a work dinner in San Francisco, I had to go to the bathroom. I will admit I was more than a little surprised to see this sign. While I know exactly what they mean, I can’t help but think “shame on you.”

I was a bit dumbfounded and wondered does the manager think that this is the plural for the word man or have apostrophes become passé in California?

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price.  Do you have a photo you would like to share?

Tears of shame for the shameless

gun controlI disagree with the modern interpretation of the United States’ second amendment, and I’m painfully aware of how out of step I am with the majority of Americans  on this issue.  As much as the tragedy in Orlando breaks my heart (and it really does), something changed in how I view my country after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre so while this tragedy infuriates me and I agree with the Daily News cover – I have come to expect so little from my country and even less from my politicians that all I have left are tears of shame.
