Yet more interactions with the Illiterati

I had a few more email exchanges with the charming woman who wrote to me last night. Apparently, she had a lot riding on human beings being the only species engaging in same sex behavior. A pointless arguments, since no other species reads the Bible, files taxes or wears clothing habitually, but there you . . . → Read More: Yet more interactions with the Illiterati

Okay, so maybe Darwin made a few oversights…

Well, I rarely get antigay stuff, but when I do, it is so unbelievably lame as to make one doubt the existence of intelligent terrestrial life. So, upon returning from a brief trip tonight, I found the following scintillating epistle in my inbox. Egad, someone REALLY needs some remedial grammar and spelling lessons, to . . . → Read More: Okay, so maybe Darwin made a few oversights…

Theatre fun

There are a few local productions I had been meaning to catch, so last night I went to Directors Circle to catch Run For Your Wife, which was a British farce. Lots of miscommunication, door slamming sort of thing. I knew a few people in the cast, and it was great fun. I cam . . . → Read More: Theatre fun

Meetings done with and local article

I had a call yesterday from Gerry Weiss of the Erie Times News, who wanted a comment for an article on PBS censoring the episode of Postcards from Buster that included 2 lesbian couples. You can read the article here. I seem to be done with a fair amount of gay-related meetings for the . . . → Read More: Meetings done with and local article

Those darn queer cartoons

Isn’t it amusing how many references to ‘freedom’ there were in Bush’s 2nd inaugural speech, and how quickly it is seen that is a bunch of hollow rhetoric and lies? The first act of the new Education Secretary is to threaten PBS over a cartoon that peripherally included 2 lesbian couples. You can read . . . → Read More: Those darn queer cartoons

Weblog lost and found

A scary moment. I was doing some tidying and inadvertently deleted the Movable Type database. I was sort of bummed about losing this weblog, until I recalled that I also lost the Erie Gay News Pride/History Photo Blog. Ack! Photos from a 10 year period would have been a real pain to recreate. Fortunately, . . . → Read More: Weblog lost and found

The benefits of being Gay Central

Every once in a while, I get a call via the hotline or some other form of contact which reminds me why I do this. Someone called asking if I know about the Gay Center in Kentucky. I responded that we didn’t really have any contact with Kentucky as it was rather far from . . . → Read More: The benefits of being Gay Central

A further amusing remark from Debbie

I had forgotten about this, but I passed along to Debbie at the Zoo the recent blog entry about her. She reminded me of an exchange we had when I went to her wedding a year and a half ago.

Remember I went over to get you to try to catch the garter. You . . . → Read More: A further amusing remark from Debbie

Amusing remark from a client

A few days ago, I was talking with my friend Debbie from the Zoo. In addition to being a client at work, we are also friends. I was trying to login as a user, and wanted to know the password. She said: “I’ll give you a clue; it’s the name of my ex-husband.” When . . . → Read More: Amusing remark from a client

Comments active for posting and spam hopefully spoiled

A few days ago, I wondered if I could add a routine for folks to include comments to post on article pages at the Erie Gay News website. I did finally get it right, but I discovered I had made it TOO easy. I was getting a fair number of spam postings that were . . . → Read More: Comments active for posting and spam hopefully spoiled
