"The Views To Love..."





"Sometimes In Advertising..."


Well, they say, "Trust the Gorton's Fisherman..."


All I want to know is, "What's he using for bait!"



"The GIFt Of Love..."




"We Were Always There..."




"Unintentionally Gay..."


Oops...

Gotta watch out for that truncation

Positive images of people like me... The truth of the matter is that we all need to see people like ourselves. So everyday, I'll post a photo, drawing or some other artwork that depicts Same Gender Loving People as what we are... Only Human.



"The Truth About Love..."


None but those who have loved can be supposed to understand the oratory of the eye, the mute eloquence of a look, or the conversational powers of the face. Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric of words, and resorts to the pantomime of sighs and glances.

- Christian Nestell Bovee

"The Views To Love..."





"This Made Me Smile..."



I've noted with some amusement that we gays have a special skill...
We can take any situation and sexualize it

Found these on the web with the caption:

"The Truth About What I Think..."


Yep, True!

My sixteen year old has spent the first two years of high school at home in self-directed virtual-study which actually means I've been his teacher for geometry, history, natural science, and yes, English literature... We read Romeo and Juliet this spring and we both were like, "Damn, that ended poorly!"

If the pandemic will kindly cooperate, we're both looking forward to him actually setting foot inside a classroom this fall to begin 11th grade.  The decision to stay virtual for school thus far has been his own, although I've been working in a very public setting straight through the pandemic since my occupation was considered "essential."

Of late, I've really been encouraging him to want to attend school in-person, not so much because he'll learn more than I can teach him, but because he's missing out on learning important social skills and the opportunity to meet people (especially the young ladies) who may go on to become his life-long friends, And that's the truth about what I think about everyday.

I felt like this yesterday!

"The Truth About What I Think..."


"The Slap Heard Around The World"

I didn't watch the Oscars this year, and I never have and never will...  I could care less, I don't believe in celebrity fandom.  But of course this turned out to be the "slap heard around the world"

So, now that I've seen it, and heard the context behind it, this is what I think:

Entirely justified!

Sometimes violence is the answer (as I believe we'll soon find out in dealing with Russia's Putin). Will Smith exhibited more than enough restraint not to lay him out, although in my opinion that's exactly what Chris Rock deserved.  Chris Rock has been hurtful and insulting to the Smiths for far too long and although many have condemned Smith's actions, in my opinion, it was the finest act of chivalry I've seen in ages.


Chris Rock knew exactly what he was doing... Hair is a third rail issue for women of color in America and especially notable black women.  For some context, I offer this as exhibit A:

What were they thinking...?

It looks like two people were bludgeoned and stabbed to death.

"The Truth About Love..."


One who possesses such immense power over our existence will inspire awe that easily threatens to overwhelm us, even if we believe he will never abandon or destroy us.... Its grandeur makes us feel both powerful and powerless--not just to possess the loved one--but in our existence itself: the existence which we yearn for love to anchor. To be in a relationship of love is, in other words, always a relationship of fear; indeed, the greater the love the greater the fear.

"When We Were One"

I dreamed it would last forever
a dream I dreamed would never
when we were one.

You never knew how I waited
with heart and breath baited
when we were one.

When once I said you were my reason
to your heart you said it seem like treason
when we were one.
